BUDS AND FALLING LEAVES.

Frost and wind have done their worst.
The frost is unrobed, the verdure Of the
plain is faded and scared. Like the hopes
We often cherish low lie the leaves and
the flowers. What is the lesson we NAV
learn from the falling leaf? Early in au
tumn the functions Of the many organs
of plants ceased to be performed, and
the plant ceased to grow. To the care
Ess observer nature had ceased TO toi! -
Not SO 3: while the leaf was quvering in
the autumn breeze, seemingly only wait
ing to be cast off to tind resting place
at the foot Of the parent stem, a curious
work was going on at its point of attach.
ment. The bud, the germ Of the future
leaf was being folded up Drawn from
the hidden cause that acts through all
nature like instinct, a tiny leaf pecrcd
forth but the unconycuial air prevent
ed its dcvclopemcut, so that instead of a
leaf, rough and hardy scales were formed
over the germ of li;c within. This is
the simple pi i'osophy of the formation OF
the bud. There may be objections urged
against it; but it is no, the purpose at
prescn. to consider these. Now if we
examine the naked limbs Of the trees,
We shall find them set with these buds
These are the assurances that leaves will
come again Buds are generally formed
at the point of attachment between the
leaf and stem, and by their growth help
to cause the leaf to fail. We may learn
from this circumstance lessons of profit
aud encouragement. As the bud unfas.
tens the leaf, so the coming moment
crowds upon the present one, and urges
its departure. The leaf falls and the
same one returns not again SO the mo-
ment passes aud is gone. As the leaves
grow and flourish in their day, and at its
close fade and fall; SO the generations of
men arise, labor in their turn and pass
off. Leaves leave their buds behind them,
SO does the passing generation. Children
are the buds. Room for them is only made
ty the removal of the present ones. ST.
lent yet not unseen are the causes which
dcvelopc the buds of the forest; silent,
yet not all unseen are the means for the
development Of the coming people
Without the leaves of the present year,
the buds for the next could net have
been formed; SO by our stay must the
coming generations be prepared for ac-
ton. Teacher, look at the beauty, the
Of your work. Silently the
sunbeam toiled on to open the tender
germ of the plant As unceasing and as
earnest let your efforts be to develope the
buds of our future greatness, and to pre-
pare them for the spheres assigned them.
Faithful every moment of its stay was
the leaf to its mission. As faithful ev-
cry moment be you at your post of duty.
Beautiful was the leaf at departisg. AS
beautiful may you be, if as faithful.

At the time of the war between our
Government and Mexico, and while the
justice Of the measure was being freely
discussed through tho country, the fol-
lowing bit Of poetry made its appearance
in an Eastern paper, and from the pecul-
lar style Of the understanding up the
whole subject IN few words-was copied
BY the press generally. 1t appearing to
me SO appropriate to the present condi.
tion Of the country, aud especially to
those seeking its dismem berment, that l
copy it for your paper, thinking it may
not be uuinteresting. l quote from
memory, but think give it nearly cor
rect:
Not lcng time ago. in the regions below,
Apollion with madness sat grinning,
He plumed his dark pinions, and called ON his
minions,
TO give them lecture on SHINING.
Quoth he: Ye accursed, now bring on your
worst,
Compound and concentrated knavery-
They all hid their heads in their brimstony
beds,
And blushed while they hissed, "Southern
Slavery"
The old arch spostate, while thus they lay
PROSTATE,
Whisked his tail with grim satisfaction,
And then. with a roar, cried: "Ye imps, try
once more.
And bring all your powers into action"
They gave wild stare Of utter dispair-
Worse than that was beyond com prehension! !!
But they caught it at last, and blew in full blast
"a uar for its further ertension!'

FREIGHT TARIFF.-The tariff of prices of
down freights from this point will probably
be about the same as last season, when
there was no competition; lie. fifteen cents
per bushel for wheat. We are not advised
as to whether the different companies intend
to run opposition or not; if so, the prices
will drop down to mere nominal figure.
We believe there will be enough business
for all the boats. The tariff from Winona
is ten cents.

Feeling In England.
From the London Times, 9th.

From the London Times, 9th.
We shall not be deferred, for instance,
by the wrath of a New York contemporary
from looking for new sources of cotton sup
ply, and drawing, if necessary, upon the
resources of our own colonies, to save our
manufactures from ruin. On the other
hand, we cannot fail to see, and it is our
duty to point out, the tendency of retro
grade commercial policy in the north to
divert European trade from Boston and
New York to Charleston and New Orleans.
These are matters of business, and the
warmest friends of the Union cannot expect
our merchants to celebrate its obsequies by
self-immolation. But let Mr.. Lincoln show
himself equal to the occasion, and let the
free states prove themselves capable of post
poring sectional interests to truly national
policy, and it will soon become evident on
which side English sympathies are engaged
Long before the northern Abolitionists
became party we proclaimed what Amer
lean Democrats contemptuously call the
abstract theory" of individual freedom,
and washed our hands of slavery at the cost
of twenty millions sterling. This gives us
some right to speak with freedom, and with
out imputations of selfinterest, at such
moment. We cannot but be shocked to see
confederation of Anglo-Saxon Christians
avowedly based on an institution which we
regard with horror and detestatiOn. But
this is not all.
Tee love of self-government, and the
belief that liberty, in it's most extravagant
form and with all indefinite liability to
abuse, is always essentially the same, natur-
ally superior to all the refnemeDts OF des>
potism and capable of triumphing over the
most inveterate obstacles, is deep and
passionate instinct among our countrymen.
If Cromwell wept when he heard of the
expulsion of the Waldenses, the feelings of
Englishmen would not be less profoundly
affected by the downfall of kindred COM
monwealth, which none out Bourbon or
Hapsburg could contemplate without
admiration. We know too we'll how rare
is the constructive genius in politics, and
how small proportion of the infant COM
munities that Western Europe has planted
in the four quarters of the world ever ar
rive at maturity, to think lightly of such a
loss to civilization. Even from the COM
mercial point of view we are not blind
enough to suppose that we should gain by
the disintegration of the American Union
into such fragments as Mexico or the South
American republics. There are no disun-
ionists on this side of the water. Every
English merchant who has voted for Lincoln
bis heart, and the relief that will be felt in
America, if he should succeed in healing
the wounds of bis country, will be shared
by many who have very imperfect notions
of the site of Washington and Montgomery,
and would be puzzled to distinguish the
creed of Democrat from that Of Repub-
lican.

WHEAT CRoPs.-The Winter wheat in
different portions of the State, farmers in.
form us, is looking uncommonly well--in
fact the prospect was never better than at
present. The winter has been highly favor
able for the preservation of the crop, the
abundance of snow aiding in its protection.
Our farmers, however, rely more upon the
success of Spring wheat, hence very few put
in crop last fall. Our exchanges in Wis
consin and Iowa also speak we'll of the pros.
pect in those States. In Minnesota farmers
are preparing to SOW greater breadth than
ever before.
