AUTUMN DAYS.


when the autumn DAYS come save
Beecher, Nature, ike retired merchant
changes its manner from thrift and busting
industry to languid leisure and to ostenta-
tious luxury. The sun rises later and sets
earlier than when it had all the summers :
crops on hand, and was playing universal
husbandman. There is no nest building
now, and no bird-singing which is purely
domestic arrangement. designed, on the
birds part, to keep peace in the family
while the children are being raised. and laid
aside as soon as the young birds are off their
hands Mornings come fIeeced in mists
which hang over streams and low, moist
places. The sun plays with them, but they
perish in his arms a few belated flowers
yet keep watch, but chiefly the asters, which
fringe the fields, star the edges Of forests,
aud, ike late conner at feast, seem bent
upon making for lost time. At night, crick-
cts and katydids scrape their shrill yiols.
and fill the air with stridulous music.
Over all the shrinking fields, the trees lift
up their gorgeous foliage, and, ike those
who wait for the marriage bell and the
bridegroom, they shine out in glorious APP
parel. The hills, forest-clad, are become
the Lord younger sons, and, Ike Joseph,
they are dressed in a coat of many coIors.
October days, short between horizons, reach
higher into the vault than any days of the
year; and through them the season seems to
look with softened sadness, as one who, in
TIE calm of age, meditates on all the mis-
takes of his past life, and solemnly thinks
upon the advancing future. Along the
fence rows, where seeds and late bearies
may be found, birds hop silently, as if
ashamed to be seen. Soon they will change
their solitary ways and collect IN focks. To
day, the fields viii swarm with them; to-
morrow, there viii not be one left, and they
will be picking their food many degrees Of
latitude south.

Northern Lion, many of Webster's

anSl1r that" Mrs. Webster was present
at the Capitol, and was greatly agitated at
the fire and force of the hero of South
Carolina. She rode home with friend in
advance of her husband. At last the
'Lion" came tramping up to the door and
marched in, in an easy, unconcerned way. His
wife has tened into the hall just as she was,
and with tears in her eyes, said to him,
" Can you-caH you answer Mr.. Hayne?'
With sort of grunt or quiet roar her
lord turned upon her. Answer him? ri

In due time the Websterian thunder roll
led through the arches of the Capitol, and
Hsyno was ground fine

General friend to his southern acquaintance,
"of our northern lion?''
The reply came quick, but rather angrily,
Hes a long -iawed, strong-jawed, tough

How NAPOLEON TRAVELS.-The special
train in which the Emperor Napuloau wont
with his suit from Paris to Saltzburg is de-
seribed as exceeding in comfort and elegance
anything of the kind that has hitherto been
known. The train consisted of nine car
riages communicating with each other by
tastefuly decorated bridges. In the middle
was handsome sitting room, furnished with
chairs, ottomans, sofas, mirrors, pictures,
clocks and chandeliers. On one side of this
room was the dining room, apd on the other
the Emperor study. In the middle of the
dining-room there was a table, capable OF
being extended or contracted at pleasure,
with easy chairs placed parallel to the sides
of the carriage. The Emperor study con-
tained an elegant writing table, clock in
the style of the renaissance, thermometer,
a barometer, and telegraphic apparatus,
by means of which telegraphie communica-
ton was established with the apartments of
the various Court officials troTeling with
His Majesty. Next to the study was the
bedroom Of the Emperor and empress, with
two beds placed transversely against the
sides of the carriage. The dressing-rooms
were attached to the bedroom. The re-
naming carriages consisted of kitchen, q
wine cellar and the apartments of the EN-
peror' S suite. There was also a conservatory
filed with the choicest flowers.

that they are doing their sons a great favor
rather than having tho boys apprentieed to
some trade, we regret to think Of the wrong
they are really committing on their children.
Until boy is Of age, he certainly cannot do
more than make his living: if he does that
he does well-far better than most bows
His living can be earned either By the pur-
poseless life in store or an Office, or else
by course Of training which will fit him for
future clearly marked out and which win
be remuneratiye as well as honorable-for
position which is entirely independent of the
will Of a superior, and which in any quarter
OF the globe, could gain for him his daily
bread.
The choice is made, The boy is put at a
place Of respectability, and he fritters
away the precious years which should have
been devoted to preparation, ia idliDg among
bales, running errands, or summing up
small accounts, He is of age at last, with
no money saved, with little knowledge ae.
quired, with habits expensive, and probably
with wrong ideas in regard to real labor.
He certainly viii have false notions on the
subject Of respectability, and doubtless
passes through life clerk, or possibly
salesman, with an insufficient income and
heavy expenses, rather than as a skilled
mechanic, universally respected, and yearly
saving money. Such is too true a picture
OF what Is daily occurring. We most ear
nestly call upon fathers with boys not yet
entered in business, to hesitate before they
close the avenues of an honest trade, and
put their sons into a field which is no more
respectable, and which is filed already BY
many whose money aud family connections
give them too great a preference to be over
come. 4 trade is the great opening to day
for every American boy -Ereaiag Telegraph

BEAUTIES OF SHADOWS. The shadows
all day long play at silent games of beauty.
Eeyerything is double, if it stands in light.
The trees sees an unrevealed and mafiied
self lying darkly along the ground. The
slender stems of flowers, golden rods, way
side asters, meadow daisies, and rare lilies
frare and yet abundant in every nice, level
meadow, east forth dim and tremulous
line of shadow, that lies long all the morn
ing. shortening till noon, and creeping out
again from the root all the afternoon, until
the sun shoots il as far-eastward in the even
ing as the sun shot it westward in the morn
ing. A million shadowy arrows such as
these spring from ApoIo's golden bow Of
light at every step. Flying in every dlrec'
ton, they cross, interlacing each other in
soft network Of dim lines Meanwhile, the
clouds drop shadow-ike anchors, that reach
the ground, but viii not hold; every brOws
ing creature, every fitting bird, every NOV
ing team, every unconscious traveller writes
itself along the ground in dim shadow.

rHE SHORTEST WAY HoME.


''The shortest way by half mile
l come SO often BY it,
Isup the road, across the stile,
And through the meadows. Shall we try it,
The days were not without charm,
When, talking soft aud looking silly,
Ny love and walked arm in arm,
And lanes were lone and fields were stilly.
We found so many things to say,
That always in the shiny weather
We took the--well, the shortest way,
To be longer time together;
We spoke sbout--(but goodness knows
0ur topics of eonfabulationl-
About the weather, ! suppose,
The crops, the harvest, and the nation.
At al events, although the talk
Was neither wise nor very witty,
We ended each successive walk
With 'sHome already-what a pity!"
We might have lost little ground,
Through coming by the read selected,
But both agreed that we had found
The journey shorter than expected
Can hife' experiment support
The paradox that Love proposes?
Does any path seem very short,
Unless j. be a path of roses2
We seldom find the nearer way:
And if We hit upon and take it,
By creeping on from day to day,
It seems as long as length can make it.
The road to Fame is never brief,
The way to Wealth is dull and dreary;
Al earthly routes, in my belief,
Are very long and very weary.
Nay-one that leads through care and strife,
In short. when mortals once begin it;
We take the "near cut out oflife,
Although we take the longest in it.

A CAUTIOUS JUDGE.-An Irish Judge
tried two most notorious fellows for high
way robbery. To the astonishment of the
court as well as of the prisoners themselves,
they were found not guilty. AS they were
being removed from the bar, the Judge, ad-
dressing the TAILOR, said: Mr.. Murphy, you
would greatly ease my mind if you would
keep those two respectable gentlemen until
seven or half-past seven o'clock, for mean
to set out for Dublin at five, and should
ike to have at least two hours start of
them"

WITH all the hard practicabiIisy Of Amer
lean life, there is in It a strong undercur-
rent OF speculative thought, liking 10
dwell on the immaterial and mysterious part
ofnature. Left to itself. the tendency de-
generates into spiritualisln, table.wrapping,
rnesmerism, and all kindred folIies, in their
foolishest phases. Trained and instructed,
it can find boundless and worthy field in
graphing with those subtle questions which
IN al ages have claimed the attention of
master minds.
Bad goods require dark rooms, and as
many articles of merchandise seem valuable
till taken into the light, 80 there are many
things which appear fair till they are set in
the light Of Gods countenanee. Before
Him the friendships VIC often profess are
nothing but instances of selfshness; and the
prayers and praises we often engage in are
forms Of godliuess. We may come to His
house as His people came, sit and hear his
words, and commend the preacher, and with
our mouths show much love, while He sees
our hearts going after eoFetousness. And
how dreadful to think that He will hereaf-
ter deyelope ali, and divulge all respecting
us; and that We have always been before
Him, We shall be made to appear before an
assembled world
Pitiful that man should so care for
riches as if they were his own, yet so use
thsn as If they were another's; that when
he might be happy in spending them, he
will be miserable in keeping them, and had
rather dying leave wealth with his enemies,
than being alive, relieve his friends.

EXERCISE IN NERVOUS DISEASES. An
English writer and surgeon, Mr.. Skey, ex-
presses his strong conviction, in which We
heartily join him, that there are many dis
cases, at least many forms Of indispositioa
which, with strong win, may be walked
away, provided the exercise be taken syste-
matically and rendered prominent feature
in the daily treatment. Tone is impaired
by this means to both mind and body,
cheerfulness replaces gloom, and sympathy
for others morbid dwelling on SELF The
exercise sheuld be active, and not consist Of
either strolling or sauntering out of doors,
or even amateur gardening. A good brisk
walk should be taken at pace of at least
three miles an hour, but always stopping
short of fatigue.
People viii be often heard to say that they
take plenty ofexercise about the house, and
that they are on their legs many hours of
the day. What is wanted for the health is
exercise without fatigue, for fatigue is ex-
haustion, and the desired object is only to
be gained on the terms just stated.
The distance walked could be increased
daily and it viii be found that increasing
strength viii give the readiness and wish for
increasing exercise. There is an accumula-
ton ofincapability in those who are afflicted
with what are vaguely called nervous disor-
ders, which render such persons restless,
fdgety, irritable and full Of strange fancies,
and which is best brought down to a healthy
standard by exercise in the open air, and its
concomitant change of scene and new trains
Of thought.

ERRORS. The little that l have seen of
the world and known of the history of man
kind, teaches me to look upon their errors
in sorrow, not in anger. When I take the
history of one poor heart that has sinned
and suffered, and represent to myself the
struggles and temptations it passed through;
the tears of regret the brief pulsations of
10y; the feabIeness Of purpose; the scorn OF
the world that has little charity; the desola-
ton of the soul S sanctuary and threatening
voices within; health gone, happiness gone,
I would fain leave the soul of my fellowman
with him from whose hands it came.

CONCEIT.

Hardly anything ismore contemplate than
that conceit which rests merely upon social
position, the conceit of those who imagine
that thus they are divorced from the clay
of common men, of those who shrink with
horror from the idea of work as something
which degrades BY its very contact, and yet
who, va~r likely. owe their present position
to some not remote ancestor who, recogni-
zing his call to work, lived more honestly
in the world than they do. and was not
ashamed Of soiled thumbs. It is one of the
meanest things for people to be ashamed of
the work from which they derive their in
come, and which glorifed their ancestors
more with their soiled aprons and black
gowns than themselves with tiaeir fine rib
bons and flashing iewelry. 1t might be a
fine thing to be like the lilies. more glori-
ously clothed than Solomon, and doing
nothing, if we were only lilies. Advantage
GUS position is only a more emphatic call to
work and while those who hold the advan-
tage may not be compelled to omanual drudg-
cry these should recognize the fact that man
ual drudgery may be performed in the same
spirit as that which characterizes their own
work, and therefore that it is equally hon
orable -ReU. DR.. CHapll.
