w E ALL Do FADE AS A LEAF. About
year since, the Rev. d. HARRISON preach
ed in the Presbyterian church in this
place, sermon from the text, awe all
do fade as leaf" Now that the season
is appropriate, number Of his congrega-
ton have signifed their appreciation of
his discourse by requesting its repetition.
The Reverend gentleman has consented
to crafty this desire on the part of his
friends, and has appointed next Sabbath,
at lO3 o'clock in the morning, for that
purpose.
1t is solemn fact that, sooner or later,
We must all die. But amid the varied
scenes and avocations o. this world, we
are too prone betimes to forget this i'm
portant truth. It's well, therefore, that
we be occasionally reminded of it; and
well may it be done by comparing our
mortality with the faded leaf. How truly
has 1t been said of man, that "to-day, he
puts forth the tender leaves of hope; to-
morrow, blossoms, and bears his blushing
honors thick upon him; the next day
comes q frost, which nips the shoot; and
when he thinks his greatness is still as
piring, he falls, like autumn leaves, to Gu
rich our mother earth"
We trust, in view Of the all-important
subject of which it treats, that all who
can conveniently do SO, will be present at
the delivery of this discourse. Abundant
in profound thought and beautiful image
~, 1t will be a rare intellectual feast, and
may we not hoPe?-be Of lasting bcnc-
| fit to all who hear it.

RUFUS CHoATE ON DANIEL WEBsrER.-At the an

in honor of the memory Of Daniel Webster stirring
speech was made by the Hon. Rufus Choate, We
quote the following passage: Ne.
We have buried him in our hearts. That Ia enough
to say Our estimation of him is part of our creed
We have no argument to make or hear upon IL We
enter into no dispute about him. We permit Ia
longer any man to question us as to what he was
what he had done ; how much we loved him how
much the country loved him, and how well he de-.
served it. We admire, we love- and we are still, Ba
this enough for us to say.
Is it not enough that we just stand silent on the
deck of the bark fast flying from the shore, and turn
and see how, as the line Of coast disappears and the
headlands and bills and all the lands 70 down, and
the Islands are swallowed up there the great moun

Continuing in this strain for long time, Mr. Choata
closed as follows:
