THE POLICY OF THE ADMINS
TRATION.

We perceive, in many Of our exchanges, at
tacks on tho administration for the manner in
which the public patronage has been distribu.
ted in the north and northwestern States. The
complaint il, that many responsible and lucra
tive offices have been bestowed on those who,
in times past, have entertained freesoil senti-
ments.
These complaints would be most unjust,
coming from any quarter; but they are we'll
nigh ridiculous, coming, rs most of them do,
from the wings OF the south.
In the midst of the onti-slayery excitement,
and when the Union was in the greatest eop-
ardv, General Taylor appointed leading free
sellers to prominent cabinet positions, and I'M
der The dictation OF such men rs Thomas Ew-
ing, Of Ohio. and William Fl. Seward, of New
York, conferred n vast majority Of the offices
in the north and northwest on factious agita-
tors. This fact was we'll known yet the south.

CAPITAL FOR THE YouNG-It is consola-
ton for all right-minded young men in this
country, that though they may not be able to
command as much pecuniary capital as they
would wish to commence business themselves,
yet there is a moral capital which they can
have, that will weigh as much as money with
people whose opinion is worth having. And it
does not take great while to accumulate a
respectable amount of this capital. 1t consists
in truth, honesty, and integrity; to which may
be added decision, frmness, courage, and per.
severance. With these qualities, there are few
obstacles which may not be overcome. Friends
spring up and surround such young man al
most as if by magic. Confidence flows out to
him, and business accumulates on his hands
faster than he can ask it. And in few short
years such Young man is far in advance of
many who started with him, having equal tai
ents and larger pecuniary means; ere long our
young friend stands foremost the honored,
trusted, and loved. Would that we could in
duce every youthful reader to commence life on
the principle that moral capital is the main
thing after all Token.

The AUTUMN AND IT'S LEssoNs.-All that il
earthly must fade. This is an annual lesson,
taught by the falling leaf, the whitening FROST
the silence which peryades the air, and the
wreck and decay Of vegetation, as each recur-
ring Autumn assumes her reign. Another
Autumn is upon us now. The tassels of the
corn are dead and the husks Of the standing
ears have lost their green. The scythe is
shearng the hay-felds of their last burden.
Small, yellow leaves, that have exhausted their
vitality before the advent of the Frost are drop
ping one by one from the trees. Flower stalks,
that but few short weeks since stood green
and glowing, bearing proudly up their wealth
and floral beauty, now stand stark and dead.
The first limitations Of approaching dissolution
rest upon all vegetation, yet, amid these scenes,
the fruits of autumn are spread up on every side.
Apples bend from the bough, nuts wait on the
trees for the loosing fingers of the frost, wains
go cracking home laden with homely roots, the
granaries are already filed, and soon, housed
and garnered, the product of the year will await
the grateful use of man and animal.
All that is earthly must fade, ave all do
fade as the leaf" Man has his spring. his
summer, his autumn, and his winter. Some
leaves wait not for the frost and fall early, but
we who grow crisp and dry with age, and we
who grow golden and glorious in the frosts Of
time, must all alike follow them to the earth.-
There are worm-eaten fruits and blasted corn
ears in the fields of humanity, as in the fields
of vegetation. The good ones only can find
place in the store-house of the great husband
man. The lesson of the autumn bears upon
and illustrates the whole subject Of the close of
human life. The year is but hollow farce
without fruit as the grand result. A human
life in its autumn, in which is seen no fruit be-
trays perversion so foul that it might make
an angel weep, and as the angels look down
upon the world, may they find graces which
blush like apples among the leaves, characters
well filed out and clean from all impurity, true
wisdom filing all the storehouses, and the seeds
of an immortal life perfected, and ready to be-
unfolded in
Those everlasting gardens,
Where angels walk and seraphs are the wardens.

The CHEMICAL BARoNETER.-Take a long
narrow bottle, such as an old-fashioned eau de
Cologne bottle, and put into it two.and-a-half
drachms of camphor, and eleven drachms of
spirits Of wine; when the camphor is dissolved
which it will readily do by slight agitation,
add the following mixture: Take water, nine
drachms; nitrate of potash, (saltpetre,) thirty.
eight grains; and muriate Of ammonia (sal
ammoniac,) thirty eight grains. Dissolve these
salts in the water prior to mixing with the cam.
phorated spirit; then shake the whole well to.
gether. Cork the bottle well, and wax the top,
but afterwards make very small aperture in
the cork with a red hot needle. The bottle
may then be hung up, or placed in any sta
tionary position. BY observing the different
appearance which the materials assume, as the
weather changes, it becomes an excellent prog
nosticator Of a coming storm or ola sunny sky.

to punish with six blows of a very heavy ferule
