THE sUMAER Is PAST.

In commenting upon the eventful sum-
mer from which we have just emerged,
the New York Mirror sayo;
Another summer has past and hard and
hot it has been. Fires, failures, disease
and death, have brought mourning and loss
es to hundreds Of thousands; and the ca
lumity of short crops, makes the poor man
look anxiousIy to the coming Winter. In
our city, men who ranked as millionaries
when the summer opened, have seen their
riches suddenly take wings aud fly away;
and some, by dishonest efforts to retain or
increase their reputed wealth, have wreck
ed their honor and sunk to rise no more.
Many Of our citizens who began the
season in the fullness Of health and beau-
ty, have perished with the early flowers,
and thousands who went abroad, decked
in gay colors Of joy and hope, are now
robed in the attire of grief and mourning.
Autumn has come TO many heart even
in the spring time Of life; and the earth
has become TO thousands Of its pilgrims
literally, 'the valley and shadow Of death.
They who have passed through this try
ing season unscathed by sickness and mis-
fortune, whom the Death Angel has not
even brushed with his wing, should make
their lives hymn Of thanksgiving to the
Infinite God who has dealt with them so
gently and so graciously. Instead Of
looking Oh the dark side of the future,
they should look up in grateful confidence
10 the Reaper, whose sickle has felt them
to flourish a little longer in the field of
Time. while thousands as full Of health
and promise as they, have been cut down
and withcred in an hour.

LIFE IN NEW YoaK.

Tnr YoUSG WirE OF RroH OLD
MAN.-The New York Sun, Of Saturday
morning last, serves up the following dish
Of scandal:
"a gentleman about sixty years Of age,
doing large importing business in South
street, and residing in enc Of the fashion
able avenues in this city, for some months
suspected his wife, very handsome
young woman, scarcely out OF her 'teens
with being on more than friendly terms
with the son Of wealthy neighbOr. On
Thursday morning. he announced his in
tention 10 leave town on business, and not
return until the following morning. He
however, did return sooner than was ex-
pected (about ii o'clock at night, and
unlocked the back hall door, with his
nightskcy, not stopping even to ring the
bell, and crept stealthily 10 the door Of his
room on the second floor and looked Through
the key-hole, when he saw light, and
imagined that he also saw objects moving in
tho room. He listened for sore moments
and finally heard suppressed whispering.
One of the voices he thought was a mans.
His patience now became entirely ex-
hausted, and he attempted to open the door,
but found it securely locked on the inside.
He listened again, but all was silent
Determined on knowing the worst, he
took from his pocket revolver, and de-
manded admission to the room. His de-
mand not being complied with as soon as
he thought it should be, he burst open the
door, and on doing so, discovered some-
thing white leaning on one Of the winds
ows Of the bedroom. He ran 10 the win
dow, looked out saw, and discharged one
barrel of the revolver at what he took to
be his neighbor's son, as he was scaling
the fence of his yard, without any other
article than his linen on. On looking
about the room, the injured husband espied
snugly piled up on a chair at the foot of
the bed, a pair of pants in one Of the
pockets of which, was port monpaie,
containing BlO3 20; a vest, ccat and era
vat, and pair OF socks, and on the bureau
hat and fine gold watch, which, he says,
the owner can have by calling for and
proving property. The wife, during these
discoveries, said nothing, but wept most
bitterly, Efforts are Delng nauc uy tnu
friends of the parties to settle the affair,
without bringing their names before the
public"

TnE Two Srxrs.-There is much
truth in the following, which we clip from
the Syracuse Standard;
Whenu raking youth goes astray, friends
gather round him in order TO restore him
10 the paths of virtue. Genlleness and
kindness are layished upon hun, to win
him back to innocence and peace. No
one would suypeotlhat he had ever sinned,
But when poor, coniiling girl is be-
trayed, she receives the brand Of society
and is henceforh driven from the ways Of
virtue. The belrayer is honored, res
pected and esteemed; but the ruined
heart-broken victim knows there Is nC
peace, for her this side of the grave. So
cIely has no helping hand for her, no smile
Of comfort, no voice of forgiveness.
These are earthly moralilies unknown
TO heaven. There is deep wrong in
them, md fearful ere ,he consequences.

5TEWART HOLLAND.

"Ee had been deputed by the Captain 10 fire
the signal gun, (when all others had ded,) and
amid the melancholy wall he pursued his duty.
When all hope had fed, and the vessel nearly
level with the scl, Holland was seen busy with
his gun. His last shot doomed out as the Ar;ic
sank, and he went down with her--perscyerlng
in the strict performance OF his duty."-l The
Newspaper account.
Upon the Ariic's deekwas seen
A noble form, AID fair;
Firm, resolute amid the gloom
And scenes Of dark despair
His ear was pierced by shrek and wall,
And melancholy strain,
or struggling victims all around,
Who sought for help in vainl
Doubtless in that depressing hour
OF dismay aud pain,
He thought Of home and ov'd ones far,
He'd never see again.
How'er, he did not fee the wreck,
To trust the treacherous wave,
Which bore some to suecoring hand,
But others TO the grave.
His post was at the signal gun,
+" When all the rest had 1ed,D
Nor from his duty turned aside,
To dying or the deadl
Ali no response, TO cheer, was heard,
And hope had well nigh flown;
But rumbled still o'er mountain foam
The signals doleful tonel
The noble youth, with brow exposed,
Throughout, undaunted stood,
Though gathering waters lashed his form
To whelm it in the food.
And calmly with the Artic sunk,
While yet the cannon's breath
Went moaning DER the seas oxpanss,

Bright shono the sun when for the West,
Abby, saw thee start,
Yet still a cloud Of deepest gloom,
Was shading over my heart.
Yet when thy parting kiss was giv'n-
Between a tear and smile,
With anguish deep, thy mothers heart
Seem'd breaking e'on the while.
Now thou art gone, how sad and lone
Is the forsaken nest
long to see thy face again,
And clasp thee to my breart.
Yes oft for thee my absent ono,
My bosom heaves a sigh,
Thou art as fondly cherished now,
As II thou still were nigh.
miss thee, in the evening hours,
Thou hast so Oft beguipd,
Amid those psnsive hours, my heart
Still yearns for thee my child
miss thy fond bright smile, that flPd
Thine eyes in days before
While seated by thy mothers side
Coming thy lessons o'er.
All then, feared it would be thus,
That in some future day,
Thou'd leave thy early home and friends,
And from thy mother stray.
Now, thou art in a strangers home,
And Strangers voices there,
To greet thee in the morning hour,
And mid the evening air.
And thou, may'st list but list invain,
To hear thy mothers voice,
That oft in Young lifes early years,
Has made Thy heart rejoice.
Yet still, within thy mothers heart,
Affection lives as true,
love as well, as in those years.
Say, Abby uear, do you2
A teachers task, thy early choice,
Deyolyes upon thee now,
God grant, its cares and tolls may bring,
No shades upon thy brow.
o, may LIES path, ne'er prove to thee,
A dark and tedious way,
May gladness ever shed for thee,
It's bright and joyous ray.
Yet still, melhiGks see thine eyes,
OFT languishing with care,
Then with a mothers feryent love,
breathe whispered pray'r,
That God may shield thy youthful hes Z,
And an my Footsteps guide,

INDIAN ELoQURyCE.

The Toronto (Canada) Watchman, con-
tans an appeal from the Indians Of Rice
Lake TO the whites, begging them to stop
the plague of intempcrance, which has
been communicated by them TO the chill
dren OF the forest. Some passages in the
appeal are exceeding eloquent and touch
ing. Ii says;
"The five villages, Alnwick, Ricelake,
Mudlake, Scogog, and Credit, and all that
is left Of the Mississagan Indians. Save
us Our white brethren, Save us!
Long ago yol came to us and asked
us for place 10 build your wigwam; we
gave you country say, was it not worth
giving? We now ask You for deliver
ance from an enemy we cannot ourselves
overcome; like everything else of the
white man it is too strong for us. We
love our home, and we do fight this inva-
dor of its purity and being but our ranks
are getting thinner and weaker; our dead
ly foe is marching onward, wasting, des-
urOying, crushing victor TO the West!
My white brethren, could the souls
Of the dead Chippewas and Mohawks,
killed by Fire water, come from the land
of Shades, and camp by the door of the
whisky trader, from the city OF Rock to
the head waters of the big lake, town and
