The rust is over the red of the clover.
The green is under the gray,
And down the hollow the feet winged swallow
Is flying away and away.
Fled are the roses, dead are the roses,
The glow and the glory done,
And down the hollow the fleet winged swallow
Fling the way O. the sun.
In place of summer. dread new conner
His solemn state renews;
A crimson splendor instead of the tender
Daisy, and the daring dews.
But, h,.the sweetness, the fulGcompleteness,
That under his reign are born!
Russet anayellow in apple mellow,
And wheat, and mille4, and corn.
His f2osts so hoary touch with glory
Maple, aud oak, and thorn;
Add rising aud falling his winds are calling.
Like hunter through his horn
No thrifty sower. bal just mowes
That comes when. the day is dane,
With warmth a beaming and gold cleaning,
Like sunset after the sun.
And while fair weather and fross together
Color the woods so gay.
We must rama4nber that chill December
Has turned his steps this way. =.

And pile the logs on the hearth

a huge bower, formed lain branches,

Ell approached, the4~a the nearest

the bride, the men firing mdskets in close
proximity, which would have proved most
alarming to most European>yoang ladies.
The cradle was hired with Arad' carpets,
on which reclined a girl dressed in the
height of Arabian fashion large silver
rings on her legs, silver ornaments on her
breast, aud turban. aud over all huge
striped rug Of native manufacture. The

fire about her bower as if it had been

from the gates of Laghouale atrain of Ar

and making shrill cries as like human vol

the camel was stopped, the bride alighted,
embracing the women, joined the process

This was statute in Israel law 81
the God Of Jacob This placed the re-
sponsihihty Just where our laws place
ii. All equity law, justice, aud human
lty demands the enforcement OF this
penalty Lot it be done in all cases
where the meaning aud intent Of the
Prohibitory Statutes are wilfully aud
deliberately violated and there viii be
a speedy end
Some, however, may be found to af-
/ firm that ours is a hopeless undertak
4 ing, that nothing has been gained, that
the fires burn as fierce and extensively
now as ever But those of us who can
20 back 10 1880 know that tins is not
true. Great and favorable changes have
taken place The whole business has
been set in new light before the peo-
pie, and in new relations before the law,
Much during the interval has been done
to repair the ruins Of former genera
tions and to turn the wilderness into a
fruitful field He who is able to make
an intelligent comparison OF our farms,
dwellings,, villages, educational and re-
hgious institutions together with the
public and domestic habits OF the peo-
pie, knows that great and favorable
change has come over them.
A man might as well say that nothing
had been done to spread the Gospel a.
mong the nations because some of them
are still walking in darkness, or nothing
done for human liberty because some
people still groan under the rule Of
tyranny and despotic power, as to say
that nothing has been done to abate the
fires of intemperance because in some
places they may still be found burning,
Like every conflict with sin and NOR
al evil this must be continued indef
nltely and till depraved appetites shall
cease to demand indulgence aud human
cupidity shall no longer feed that appe-
tte at the price Of human misery and
mortal ruin. When that time shall
come we do not know any more than
the christian minester knows when his
whole flock shall be converted and he
be no longer required to teach sinners
III the way, or call them to repentance.
Yet rs it is he must labor on in faith
and hope, courage and zeal, for in
this the measure ef his success is great
| " depending.
Let MS then brace ourselves anow to
the work which is before us. The object
we have in view is more completely
within the scope Of our endeavors than
that of tho minister Of the Gospel
Both indeed must depend upon the
divine blessing But the control Of the
clement with which we have to contend
is by our laws fully committed to the
people. And with the inhabitants Of
this and all other towns in the State
it remains to decide and to say whether
the smoke Of this burning shall any
longer continue.

An Extraordinary Inventi0n-A
Steam Man.

The following story of a remarkable
mechanical invention is told by the
Newark IN. j. Advertiser:
"Mr. Zadock Deddrick, a Newark
machinist has invented man; one that
moved by steam, will perform some Of
the most important functions of human
ity; that will, standing upright, walk or
run, as he is bid, in any direction and
at almost any rate Of speed, drawing
after him load whose weight would
tax the strength Of three stout draught
horses. The history Of this curious in
yention is as follows: Six years ago,
Mr. Daddrick, the inventor, who is at
present but twenty-five years Of age,
conceived the novel idea Of construct
ing O man that should receive its vital
ity from q perpetual motion machine.
The idea was based on the well-known
mechanical principle that if heavy
weight be placed at the top Of an up
right slightly inclined from vertical,
gra7itation will tend to produce hori-
zontal as well as Verticle motion. The
project was not successful. However,
by observing carefully the cause Of the
failure preserving and pefecting the
man-form and by substituting steam in
place of the perpetual motion machine,
the present success was attained.
"The man stands seven feet nine
inches high, the other dimenpons Of the
body being correctly proportioned,
making him a second Daniel Lambert,
by which name he is frequently spoken
OF among the workmen. He weighs
five hundred pounds Steam is generat-
ed in the body or trunk, which is moth
ing but three-horse engine, like those
used in our steam fire engines The
legs which support it are complicated
and wonderful The steps are taken
very naturally and quite easily. As the
body is thrown forward upon the ad-
yanced foot the other is lifted from tho
ground by spring and thrown forward
| by the steam. Each step or pace ad-
yances the body two feet, and every rev
olution Of the engine produces four
PAGES. As the engine is capable OF
making more than thousand reyoln-
tions a minute, it would gsA-over the
ground. on this calculation, at the rate
Of little more than mile minute.
As this would be working the legs fast
er than would be safe on uneven ground
or on Broad street cobble-stones, it is
proposed TO run the engine at the rate
Of five hundred revolutions per minute,
which would walk the man AZ the mod
cat speed of half ale minute.
The fellow IS attached 70 a common
/ Rockway carriage. tho shafts Of which
serve to support him in a vertical posi-
tion. These shafts are two bars of iron
/ fastened in the usual manner to the
front Of the carriage, and are curved 80
