Where the golden corn is bending
And the singing respers pass,
Where the ehesnut woods are sending,
Leafy showers on the grass.

The murmur Of the flowers growing,
And the hum OF insec, life.

Toward DIS the snowy mountains high,
Who their cleaning peaks were raising
Up against the purple sky
And the glory Of their shining,
Bathed in clouds Of ros light,
Set my weary spirit pinng
For home so pure and bright!
SO left the plain, aud weary,
Fain ting, yet with hope sustained,
Toiled thro' pathways long aud dreary,
Till the mountain top was gained
Lo! the height that had taken,
As SO shining from below,
Was a desolate, Gorsaken
Region of perpetual snow.
am faint. my feet are bleeding,
All my feeble strength is worn,
In the plain no soul is needing,
am here alone, forlorn.
Lights are shining, bells are tolling,
In the busy vale below;
Near me nights black clouds are rolling,
Gathering over a waste Of snow.
So | aich the river winding
Through the misty fading plain,
Bitter are the tear. drops binding,
Bitter useless TO il and pain,
Bit,erest OF all the finding
Thut my dream was false and vain!

EgThs neat little efusion is quite In
keeping with the exquisite season, now present,
We find ii floating in the papers without a HUT
Of lie paternity:
October nights! how beautiful,
When, stilled by deep repose,
The city's pulses feel no throb
From joys, or cares. or woes.
For earth is still aud at rest,
The full moon hovers Ger,
Dispensing rays so bright aud blest--
Heavens light could ask no more.
We stood meath trees whose shelt'rng shade
DE fed the summers Gun.
As, from their Il mbs, crisp'd, dead, decay'd,
Fell Gu rnlents, one by one
And az the leaves sank gently down,
From limbs to which they clung.
The summer breezes lingering nigh,
Their requiem sadly sung.
And so fall men-so silently
As falls the Autumn leaf;
The world recks not--but dear friends sigh,
A requiem in their grief.

pentant mood, which is refreshing evidence of the
Unitarian effects of public dinners of personally
complimentary character. At the dinner given to
Mr.. Prentice, at Memphis, fcwdays ago, in res
ponse to complimentary toast, he made very neat
deprecatory, and repentant speech. We make room
for the following extract:

themselves their countrys friends. and how many
once eulogzed and toiled for who have since turn

INDIANA BANKING. The latest bulletin in regard
to the Indiana banks j. the following letter from In
dianapois
INDIANAPOLIS, SATURDAY, Nov. 4, 1854.
John Thompson, Esq, No. 2 WaU street, n. N:
DEAR SIR: Having during the last two weeks Wis
tied most of the principal towns of the State
tain the position OF the free banks, am sorry to
state that nearly the whole of them have suspended
specie payment and many of the accessible ones al
ready protested.
Of the owners of the free banks, a large number
of whom in this city, regret to say that some
tirely disown any connection with banks that
currently reported to belong to them, and as
of these banks inaccessible and others have
ly nominal place of business, it becomes almost
impossibty to get the notes protested, and as it
is we'll known that the banks have stopped specie
payment, what recourse have the bllholders?
The following banks have been protested to my
certain knowledge. and others will report to you
fas: learn the fact: Merchants Bank, of La
fayettc; Wayne Bank, of Logansport; State Stock,
Pennsylvania; Elkhards Company Bank Bank of
Connersvic, &C.
OF the State Stock Bank of Logansport could
find no Office no owner, nor anybody that knew any
thing about it.
The cashier of the Northern Indiana Bank at Lo-
gansport had heard asserted would redeem it's
notes, but presentation be very literally offered
fifty cents on the dollar for them which de-
clined.
OF these banks situated in the remote swampy
districts of the State such the Bank of America,
at Morocco, the Wabash River Bank at Jasper &C.,
am Eot yet aoic 10 say anythlhg; nooodoy, 10 my
knowledge, having yet penetrated to them. pre-
sumo, however, they have stopped payment; the
owner of one of these residing in this conviction.
The banks of this city still continue to redeem al
though the owner Of one last night said he intended
to stop redeeming to brokers. at present know of
only about twelve banks that redeem
The auditor has declared that notes protested in
packages will not be received by him, as the only
legal way is to protest them singy, thus rendering
useless the protests some of the banks above
toned which were done in packages
OF the Delaware County Bank, said to be at
Munote, | can discover offer owner Banks
of this class numerous as are also those like
Wayne Bank, which recommended to a
saw-mi to find, and the Newport Banks three Of
which are in the county clerks Office.
There is now scarcely dollar in the State, except
free bank paper, Ill else being seized to remit East.
Yours S. G. THOMPSON.

CLARK MLLs-DEsTRTcTIvE FIRE We are panied
to have, says the Washington Union of Saturday,
that the establishment of this distinguished artist
has been visited with calamity by which he suffers
severe pecuniary loss and which will delay the CON-
pletion of the great works which he had commenced
the equestrian statues of Washington and Jack
son. Yesterday afternoon, whilst his furnace was
i'll full blast, the roof from unexplained cause
took fire, and notwithstanding great efforts were
made to save the model of the statue of Gen. jack
son and the building, they were, in an incredibly
short time, destroyed by the flames. Several cast
ngs of the statue had been taken and placed outside
of the foundry, and were saved The loss sustained
by this fire is estimated six ten thousand dol
lars and the destruction of the model for the statue
is particularly to be regretted as it cannot be repro
duced but with great labor and heavy expense
There was no insurance on the property. -

To OBTAIN SKELETONS OF SMALL ANNALS
Put any subIect-snch as a mouse or frog (if a
bird, strip it OF its feathers, into box perora-
ted with number of holes. Let it be properly
disended to prevent the parts from collapsing or
being crushed together by the pressure of the
earth. Then place the box with its contents in
an ant hole, and in few days it will have be-
come an eXquisitely beautiful and perfect skele-
ton. The ants will have consumed every part OF
it except the bones and lgaments. The tadpole
acts the same part with FISH that ants do with
birds; and through the agency of this little reptile
perfect Skeletons even of the smallest fishes, may
be obtained. To produce this it is but necessary
to suspend the fish by threads attached to the
head and tall in horizontal position, in jar of
water, such as is found in pond and change it
often, till tie tadpoles will have finished their
work Two or three tadpoles will perfectly dis
sect fish in twenty-four hours.

Now while evening winds are sshing DER the
bright day slowly dying,
And sit alone and lonely, love, where cit I've
sat with thee,
Ana to thee my thoughts are straying in a fond
ness undecayins.
will tell thee Ola hope, love, ever with NE oiidly
staying.
Which hath more of lure than glory, more OF
wealth than Ind to me.
AS an island of the ocean seeth with glad emo
ton
Some frail fairy bark approaching, lingering DER
its sandy shore,
But with so6s of stifed signing watcheth her in
distance dying,
Have seen and sadly sorrowed but in faith am
still relying
That the bark I've seen viii anchor by me and
viii leave no more.
When upon that blessed even, love, talked with
thee of Heaven,
And the cherished gone before us-gone little
time before
And our hearts o'erfowed with feeling, tears re-
member love revealing,
Then felt kindred spirit in my spirits temple
stealing,
Which my spirit gladly welcomed as a miser
golden store.
Thoughts OF Heaven and love We're meetly ming
led, Oh how strangely sweetly,
For they have kindred influence wherein every
soul is swayed,
And beneath their dual power, as in summer shine
and shower
Openeth out the velvet beauty of the white and
crimson flower,
Were my holiest aspirations brighter and more
perfect made.
As the bird of tireless pinion rounteth where the
words dominion
Ruleth never. and the far earth foateth like
smaller bird,
In these thoughts our hearts aspire, mounting dailv
heavenwarG higher;
Till we gaze on wealth and honor from our beigbt
with faint desire.
And their luring siren music faints in cadence ere
It's heard.
1t may be an evil spirit charms me so that must
hear it.
While it leads me ever onward, Turing me unto
my i'll;
But it sings song charming, even though |
knew it harming,
While my heart the world had frozen in its quick
enet pulse is warming.
Eager would list that music, for it never must
be still.

stock of the best quality of Gin materials rc the

certain to be ready for them by the time the
present growing Crop is ready for picking.
By permission of some and without having had
an opportunity of consulting others, we annex a
