Soldiers Aid Meeting.-In response to a
call read in the churches on the previous Sab
bath, a meeting of the citizens was held in the
Presbyterian church on Monday evening, Oct. q
to consider the subject of supplying clothing
and reading matter to the troops now in the field
for the defence of the Government
Samuel d. Stryker was chosen chairman and
j. A. Anderson Secretary. Rev. DIR. studdiford
opened the meeting with prayer followed by
singing by the choir.
{ DR.. Studdiford stated that the meeting was
called at the request ofthe ladies to awaken an
interest in the physical comfort and spiritual
interest of those who have nobly gone to defend
our free Institutions and especially to call forth
the ladies and enlist their active sympathy, as
has been and is now being done in other places.
Rev Dr.. j 1. Janeway Of Pennington, VIII
was Chaplain in one of the three months regi
ments, then addressed the meeting, eloquently
setting forth the considerations which appeal
to our patriotism to sustain the country in the
present emergency, and to aid in making com
Portable those men who have efttbe comforts of
heme for the privations and dangers of the
field.
Itwas stated by DR.. Janeway that many ar
ticles OF clothing and other comforts were need

be furnished by the government.

to Hon. John Runk was read, requesting active
exertions to raise funds to purchase India Rub

Autumn Tinges cold days
have hurried them along too soon perhaps-the
signs of autumn are upon US. Even now there
is unmistakeable coloring of decaying life upon
the tree tops, and the smaller shrubberyis fast
being shorn of its recent wealth Of summer
freshness The naples, whose leaves are the
soonest to start and soonest to show the mellow
tinges of the season, are now putting on dress
half crimson, half purple-they are ripening
for the winter sleep. But they will last many
days yet, and be the sweetest and brightest spots
in the great panorama Of auth nnal views
There is no such season as this, the early Au
tumn, with its wealth of real blessings its gar
nered havests, its ripened fruits and its touches
of sublimity the grandest of all in the seasons.
The winds may sigh betimes, and chills may
come but it is the season of peculiar pleasures
and the year would be just as barren without
these convusive throbs of nature, as it would
be without the music of the spring birds, the
gushing of spring streams and the poisoning
of the fields when the breeze is softest and the
rain the mildest. Let us appropriate the rich
and varied blessings of the sadly sweet " au.
tumn; for it is the type of the largest measure
of this life Of ours.

The Game Season.-This season has now
fairly get in, and our sportsmen are making
the most of it. Wild Pigeons still hang back,
although we see by our exchanges that they
are numerous elsewhere. Reed birds, however
are said to be abundant. They will remain in
season until the middle of October. When reed
birds have gone, rail, partrige and snipe will fol-
low in season. AS to the oyster crop, the pres
ent winter will bring short supply. Absecom
oyster are now selling in Philadelphia at SO
thousand for ordir airy sizes. The supply from
Virginia being cut off, our oystermen must con-
fine themselves to carer localities. Lovers Of
/" shilling stews'' will find themselves this time
in the vocative.

"We renew to-day the publication o. the

cy of our friends has, however, been the main

Stick to It.-NO matter what your business j .
make good living, if not become rich. Any
pursuit we'll followed for dozen of years will
make a man ependent-provding always
that he is prudent himself, and has wife who
takes care Of what is carried into the house
How many engage in business and drive it for
ward for a year or two, and then abandon it for
some other scheme to be driven as fiercely at
first, and to be given up as soon No wonder
to it fer years before he will begin to realize
much. A mechanic Who is now worth $50, goo
just remarked to u.s." have been on this spot
more tn five and twenty years, and never had
desire to change my business" Stick to it
was the secret of his success for, to our cer-
tain knowledge, when he commenced business,
he had to run in debt for the tools he worked
with. In the early part OF his life, at different
times he was associated with partners, who be-
came uneasy and left him. Not one of them
added a dollar to the funds they accumulated
in business with this gentleman. Their SHIFT
less characters made them run from one thing
to another, ard hence their bad success. So
says an exchange.
We repeat whatever your business or pro
fcssion be-stick to tin season and out-amid
hard times and prosperous times-and if you
do not succeed there is no truth in us. We do
not say a man may not be unfortunate after
years of toll for people often are, but We do say
men who will stick closely to one thing will sue
coed better and make money in the long RUIZ,
than those who are fckle-minded, and who are
driven about by every wind that blows. We
would rather stand our chance at home with
the steady and industrious man, than with the
stranger who first commenced digging gold in
California.
