a HARVEST SONG.

The toll Of tho day is ended,
The night is ut her noon;
And the harvest song swclls blthcly up
Beneath the harvest moon
Then tread quicker measure,
And chant louder strain;
With dance and song the days prolong,
That bring the golden grain.
From out the distant mountain
Comes the voice of the cascade,
/. Aud the nearer glean of its silver stream
Makes glad the silent glade;
Through all the sladuwy forest
Is heard the fall Of leaves
And the tmid hare iroads steathhy
Among the nodding slicurcs
And now, on every hillside,
The purple vintage gluws;
And when deeper radiance falls
From daylight at its close;
No time is 1t for sadness,
Dependency or fear,
When autumn CONS in gladness.
To crown the fruitful year.
Dear is the pleasant leaf time, -
When all is soft around
When irust.imprisoncd rivulcts
Are melting into sound
And dear, too, is the season
When spring aud summer meet
VIII N the woods are faint with odors.
And the hills are DIM with heat.
But spring IL hut for pnsturf,
And summer but for show;
While autumn, like Il crowned king
Has riches To bcstow
oh: shall be thi monarch
OF all the shining year
Aud crown he shall wear, ani a scaptre bear
Of fruits, aud thr golden ear.

LOVE OF TIE BEAUTIFUL.

An appreciation for the beautiful in ma.
ture is one of the best gifts that good
God has bestowed upon us We all ofus
have it more or less implanted in our na-
lures. With the mere man of the world ,
however, it soon becomes obliterated, and
itsplace usurpcd by more sordid questions
With the man Of cultivation it is foStercd
and he cannot see the least thing in nature
without finding something to admire some
thing to speak to him of Gods wonderful
goodness. There are two ways of viewing
the world. One is what may ba called
''the practical;' ! running brooks, capital
places on which to erect water mil Is; the
green sward, fine place on which to Craze
cattle; and the broad ocean an excellent
vehicle forsailing ships. To the lover of
the beautiful, on the contrary, everything
in the universe breathes of power divine,
and the wonderful harmony of nature is
seen in all her works. A walk in the
to such a one is full of charms,
beauty and loveliness; his eyes immcdi-
ately rest on all that is capable of being
cultivated in high degree it tends to
stifle the grosser passions Of mans nature,
and to render him filter for the world be-
yond the stars.

MAXIMS FOR MARRIED WOMEN.


MAXIMS FOR MARRIED WOMEN.
The unmarried women, says an exchange
who can read the following, without indig-
nation ought to be married
Let every wife be persuaded that there
are two ways of governing a family. The
frst is by the expression of that will which
belongs 10 force; the second to the power
of midness, to which every strength will
yield. One is the power of the husband IA
wife should never employ any other arms
than these Of gcntlcncss. When u women
accustomcs herself to say 4 will, sha de-
serves to lose her empire.
Avoid contradicting your husband.-
When VIC smell a rose, it is to Undue the
sweets of odor we look for everything
amiablc in women. Whoever is often con.
'radictcd, feels inscnsibly an aversion for
the person who contradicts, which gains
strength by time, and whatever be her
good qualities, is not very easily destroy
cd.
Occupy yourself only with household af-
fairs, wait till your husband confdes to
you those of higher Importance, and do
not read lectures to him. Let your preach
ing be good example, and practice virtue
yourself to make him love it.
Command all his attention by being al.
ways kind to him; never exact anything
and you will attain much; appear always
hatterred by the little he does for you,
which will excite him to do more.
All men are vain ; never wound his
vanity, not even in the most trifing in
stance. y wife may have more sense than
her husband, but she should never seem to
know it.
When man gives wrong counsel, nev-
cr feel that he has done 50, but lead him
by degrees to what is rational with mild.
ness and gcntlcncss; when he is convinced
leave him to the merit of having found out
what is just and reasonable.
When husband is out of temper, be,
have obligng to him if he is abusive,
never retort, and never prevail over him
to humble him.
Choose we'll your friends, have but few,
and be careful of following heir advice in
all matters.
Cherish neatness without luxury, and
pleasure without excess dress with taste,
with modcsty; vary in the
fashion of your dress, especially as regards
collors. 1t gives a change to the ideas,
and recalls pleasing recollection. Such
things may appear triflins, but they have
more Importance than is imagined.
Never be curious to pry into your hus-
bands concerns, but obtain his confidence.
Always preserve economy, avoid being out
Of temper, and be careful not to scold by
this means he will find his house plcasanter
than any other.
Seem always to obtain information from !
him especially before company though you
may pass yourself as simpleton.
Never forget that wife owes all her
Importance to that of her husband. Leave
him entirely master of bis own actions, to
20 or come whenever he thinks fit. A wife
ought to make her husband, that he will
not be able to exist without it, then he will
not seek for pleasure abroad, if she does
lot partake Of it with him.

THE GREAT ToRNADo-ONE HUNDRED LIVES LOST
AND MILLION OF PRoPERTY.-The Cincinnati pa
pers come to us with further accounts OF the dam
age done by the late storm. The Gazette of Wed
nesday, says:
The ever-memorable tornado which passed over
this city Monday afternoon has proved even more
destructive than was at first supposed. Accounts
of the great storm and the immense loss of life and
property by which it was attended, pour in upon
US from all points of the compass Even with the
data before US, it is impossible to give anything
like correct idea of the damage sustained which
can only be estimated by millions. The hurricane
seems to have been general throughout the valley
of the Ohio, passing up the river eight hundred
miles from its mouth; and, while the loss of proper
ty in the interior has been great, the fury of the
storm has been mainly spent upon the towns and
cities along its banks and craft of all kinds afoat
upon its surface. number of steamers the
river have been dismantled and partially destroyed
and no less than thirty six pairs of coalboats sunk
causing the loss of about one hundred lives. This
aggregate will probably be swelled by additional
particulars. We doubt if tornado as violent and
destructive in its character, and extending for such
a long distance, ever before experienced north
of the tropics The loss of property will certainly
not be less than a million of dollars.
