. LIES AUTnMN

Like the leaf, life has its fading We speak
and think of it with sadness, just as we speak
and thinksOf The autumn season. But there
should he no sadness at the fading Of life that
has done well its work. II we rejoice at the
advent of new Fife, if we welcome the COM
ing Of a new pilgrim to the uncertainties of
this worlds way, why should there be so much
gloom when allthese uncertainties are passed
and life at its waning wears the glory of a
complete task, beautiful as is childhood in its
freshness and innocence its beauty is that Of
untried life. ID is the beauty of promise, Of
spring, aUffbe bud A hoIier and rarer beau
ty is the beauty which the waning life of faith
and dHty wears. It is the beauty of thing
completed, and as men come together to con-
graduate each other when some great work
has been achieved aHd see in its concluding
nothing bat glad2ess, so ought we feel when
ths setting sun fings back its beams upon a
life that has answered well life's purpose
When the buds drop blighted, and the miIdew
blasts the early grain, aud there goes all hope
Of ths harvest-one may well be sad; but when
the ripening year sings amid its graniture of
autumn flowers and leaves, Why should we re-
gret or murmAr; And sosa life that is ready
and waiting for the "well done" of God, whose
latest virtues and charities are its nOblest
should be driven back to God in uneomplain-
ing revsFeBcerYhile we rejoice that earth is
capable Of so much goodness, and is permit
ted such virtue.-[J. F. w. Ware,

Largest City il the World.

A very erroneous idea is ind Ilgcd in by
many people in relation TO the largest city in
the world many confidently assert that Lon :
don, or, as is frequently termed, the Great Me
tropoIis, is far superior both in size and nun Der
of inhabitants. Jeddo, the capital of Japan, is
without exception the largest and most popu-
ions city in the world. 1t contains l 100000
dwellings, and 100000 of human souls
Many of the streets are nineteen Japaneseries
in length, which is equivalent to twenty-five
English miles.
The commerce of Jedlo far exceeds that of
any other city in the world, AMI the sea along
the coast is constantly white with the sails OF
ships. Their vessels sail to the southern por
tion of the empire, where they are laden with
tea, rice, seacoal. tobacco cotton, silk, and
tropical fruits, all OF which can find ready
market u the North and then return freight
ed with corn, salt, oil, isingIasS, and various
other productions of the North, which have a
market in the South

The President talks to Gen. Mcclellan.

George Wilkes, in the SPIRIT Of tte Tmss.
relates that the President had a very fatherly
talk with his young general, Nc Clellan, during
his recent visit to the field At an interview
in the Generals tent the President communi-
Gated To him in satisfactory manner the de-
cisi0ns of the Cabinet in relation TO the prose-
cution of the war, after which he relaxed into
bis usual easy and happy and familiar way-in
a word, became "0lI Abe" and said. .
"Now, Mcclellan, l want to say something
to you for myself; something that is not from
the Cabinet, and has not been prompted from
any other source l wish to call attention TO
ianIt in your character-a fault which is the
sum Of my observations IN you, in connection
with this war. You merely get yourself ready
to do good thing-nO man can do that bet
ter-y0n make all the necessary sacrifices Of
blood. and time and treasure to secure a vic
tory, bit qrteiier from lin dry. sIf-disfrust,
some other nact,re inerPfcaA 10 me, y2u a.
ao1ys sep sort just hS side Of reSqils.-
Such has been your history throughout this
war. This i7 my own remark, and wish you,
when am gone, 10 examine yourself, and see
if This is not true"
George prerends to speak from the book.
Whether true or not, it might have been with
out any Of the parties suffering damage there
by.

wellington's Strategy.

On a certain occasion during Wellngton's
campaign on the Pyrennese, that Great
Captain being displeased with the DISPOSE
tions General Picon had made for receiving
the assault Of Marshal Sout, who menaced him
in front, ordered the plan to be entirely chang
ed. But the difficulty was to delay the attack
of the French until the change could be effect
ed. This the Iron Duke " accomplished in
person, in the following manner. DofIing his
cooked hat and waving it in the air, he rode
furioualy TO the head Of a regiment, as if about
TO order a charge. Thereupon arose tremen-
dous cheer from the men, which was taken up
by corps after corps, until it reverberated
along the whole extent Of Picton's line. As
the roar died away, Wellington was heard to
remark, mnsingly, as if addressing himself
:" SGult is skillul but cautious commander,
and will not attack in force until he has ascer-
tanned the meaning Of these cheers. This will
give time for the sixth division to come up and
we shall beat him" 1t turned out as he an
ticipated. Soult, naturally enough, supposed
these tremendous shouts announced the arrival
Of large reinforcemeuts, and did not attack
until too late. Had he struck at the right
moment he would have won an easy victory;

VERSATILITY AsAHEAvs TO naUEooD.

We arc not sent here to do merely some
one thing which We can scacely suppose that
we shall be required to do again, crossing the
StyX. we find ourselves in eternity. Wheth-
er lam painter a sculptor, poet, a romance
writer, an essayist, politician, a lawyer, a
merchant, halter, tailor, a m 'chanic fac
tory or loom. it is crr ainly much for me in
this life to do the one thing profess to d as
well IS can. But when | have done that,
aud that alone, nothing more, where is my pro-
St in 'the life to come? d not believe that

or cuuts, or manufacture pins and cotton prints

Society in Texas.

An escaped refugee from Texas gives this
story picture of life in that Stale under The
present rule
The condition of society in Texas is rep
resented to be of the most primitive, chaotic
aud imme,holical character. Mr.. Whitaker
describes it as altogether monarchical in its
tendency, though it is doubtful whether it does
not really verge toward an absolute revolution
against any system of government at all.
:" We should shudder TO recount a tilhe Of
the horrible outrages perpetrated by the So

assassination, aud lyLching are crimes too com
