HARVE S TIL ON E.
BY FREDERICK rENxYsox.

Come. let us mount the breezy down,
And hearken to the tumult blown
Up from the campaign and the town.
Lovely lights, smoothly shadows sweet,
Swiftly DER croft and valley fleet,
And food the hamlet at our feet
Its groves, its halls, its grange that stood
When Bess was Queen, its steeple rude;
It's mill and patters in the wood; sr
And follow where the brookiet curls,
seaward. or in cool shadow whirls, ,
Or silvery DER its crosses purls.
The harvest days are come again, ...
The wales are surging with the grain;
The merry work goes on amain
Pale streaks of clouds scarce veil the blue,
Against the golden harvest hue,
The Autumn trees look fresh and new
Wrnkled browS relax with glee,
AMI aged eyes they laugh to see
The sickles follow DER the lea;
See the little kerchiet'd maid
With dimplng check and bodice staid
Mid the stout striplings half afraid +;
Her red Hip and her soft blue eye
Mate the poppy's crimson dye,
And the corn-howers waving by;
see the sire with bronzed chest {;
Mad babes amid the blthe gPrest
Seem leaping from the mothers breast;
The mighty youth, the supple child
Go forth, The yellow shcaves are piled
The toll is mrth, the mirth is wild
Old head, and sunny forehead, peers
Der the warm sea, or disappears,
Drowned amid the waving ears
Barefoot urchins run, and hide
In holows 'twixt the corn. or glide
Toward the tall sheaf7s sunny side;
Lusty pleasures, hob-nailed fun
ThrOng into the MONDAY sun,
And mid the merry reapers run.
Draw the clear October out;
Another, and another bout,
Then back to labor with shout
The banded sheaves stand orderly
Against the purple Autumn sky,
Like armies Of Prosperity.
Hlrk through the Middle OF the town
From the sunny slopes run down
Brawling boys and reapers brown;
Laughter flies from door to door
To see fat Plenty with his store
Led a captive by the poor;
Fettered in golden chain,
Rolling in a burly vain,
Over valley mount, and plain;
Right through the middle of the town,
With a great sheaf for a crown.
Onward he reels happy clown.
Family cheers the tailor thin,
And the smith with sooty chin
Lends his hammer to the din;
And the master blithe and boon
Pours forth his boys that afternoon,
And locks his desk an hour too soon.
Yet, when the shadows eastward seen
Ger the smooth-shern falows lean,
And Silence sits where they have been.
Amid the cleaners will stay,
While the shout and roundelay
Faint off, and daylight dies away;
Dies away and leaves me alone
With dim ghosts of years agone.
Summers parted, glories flown;
TIL day beneath the west is rolled
Till gray spire and tufted void
Purple in the evening gold
Memories, when Old age is come,
And stray years that ileck the gloom,
And echoes of the Harvest-home.

There Is no malady of deeper Importance,
either in a medical or moral point of view, to
which the human family is more liable than

As medical man, it is the duty of every
physician to look at disease as it affects health
and life, and his sole object should be to miti-
gate, as far as lies i'll his power, the bodily suf-
fering. Human nature at best is but frail; all
are liable to misfortune.
OF all the ills that affect man. none are more
terrible than those of private nature. Dread

ton, ending frequently i'll destruction and a
loathsome grave it becomes of still greater i'm
portance when it is transmitted to innocent Off
spring. Such being the case, how necessary it
becomes that every one having the least reason
to fear that they have contracted the disease
should attend to it at once. by consulting some
physician, whose respectablity and education
enables him to warrant q safe, speedy and per-
manent cure. In accordance with this necessi-
ty. DIR. YOUNG feels called upon to state
that by long study and extensive practice, he
has become perfect master of all those diseases
which come under the denomination of yenereal
and having paid more attention to that branch
than any other physician in the United States,
he feels himself better qualified to treat them.

As tree without its leaves,
As shirt without its sleeves,
Such are bachelors!
As Syllabus without head

As things that have no business here,
As inconsistencies, tits clear,
Such are bachelors !

So die married men!
But, ah as thistles on the blast,

Constitutional Debility or Seminal Weakness.
DIR. YOUNG addresses those who have iniur-
ed themselves by private and improper indul-
gences in that secret and solitary habit which
ruins the body and mind, uniting them for
either business or society. The following are
some of the sad and melancholy effects produc-
ed by early habits of youth, viz: weakness of
the back and limbs, pain in the head dimness
of sight, loss of muscular power, palpitation of
the heart, dyspepsia, nervousness, irritabiity,
arrangement of the digestive functions, general
debility symptoms Of consumption, &c.
MENTALLY-Thc fearful effects upon the mind
are more to be dreaded. Loss of memory. con-
fusion of IDEAS depression of spirits, evil fore
bodings, aversion to society, self-distrust. love
of solitude, tinlidity, &c, are most of the evils
produced.
All persons who are afflicted with any of
the above symptoms should not fail to cali on
DR.. Young, and be at once restored to perfect
health. Let no false delicacy prevent YOU, but
apply Immediately, and save yourself from the
dreadful and awful consequences of this terrible
malady.

A New DANCE.-A Petersburg paper
says, in select circles of Richmond society,
new dance, bearing the name of "The
Persian Ring" has just been introduced !;
it is somewhat amusing, and may be i'm
agined from the following description:
1t begins by some six or eight couples
waltzing chair is suddenly introduced
into the centre, in which the first gentle
man seats his partner. He then leads up
and presents each of the other gentlemen
in succession. If the lady rejects, the dis
carded retires behind the chair but when
the "right man." as the old saying goes,
arrives, she springs up, the tone and accent
of the music are accelerated, and off she
waltzes with the elected-the rest seize
their partners, and the circle is continued.
All in turn go through the process
Three chairs are then placed. A lady
Gin succession) is seated between two bear
ers, who Immediately solicit her reluctant
regard, till at length she gives herself to
one, and waltzing is resumed. A gentle
winked, and lady takes the place on each
side. In this perplexity of choice the
Tantalus of the mirth remains, till by a
sudden resolution he decides for right or
left, uncovers the eyes, and waltzes away
with the chance directed partner, followed
as before by the rest. The chairs are now
placed triangularly dos dos, and three
ladies are thus seated. The youths pace
around them in circle, till each Of the
fair ones throws her handkerchief, and
away they again whirl. The men then
appear to deliver to each, but to no one
alone is given, ring, and the dance con-
cludes by the ladies' passing hand in hand
through arches made by the extended arms
of the gentlemen, and each seizes his part
ner, and one more swings around the circle.
We have learned that this dance will be
introduced in all the chief fashionable
chops" of the coming season.
