Hail. ye signing sons of sorrow:
View with me the Autumnal gloom;
Learn from thence your fate tomorrow,
Dead, perhaps, laid in the tomb.
See all nature fading. dying.
Silent all things seem 10 mourn;
Life from vegetation flying,
Brings to mind the mouldering urn.
of the Autumn's tempest rising,
Makes the lofty forest nod;
Scenes of nature. how surprizing;
Read in nature natures God.
See our sovereign sole Creator,
Lives eternal in the sky,
While we mortals yield TO nature,
Bloom awhile. then fade and die.
Nations dieby dread Bellona,
Through enrag'd d tyrannic kings,
Just like plants in pale Pomona,
Fall to rise in future springs.
Mournful scenes when vegetation
Dies by frost or worms devour-
Doubly mournful when nation
Dies by neighb'ring nations power.
Death and war my mind depresses,
Autumn shews me my decay,
Calls to mind my past distresses.
Warns me of my dying day.
Autumn gives me melancholy:
Strikes detection through my soul
While mourn my former Jolly,
Waves of sorrow DER me roll.
Lotwe hear the air resounding
With expiring insects cries: =,
All! their means to me how wounding
Emblem of my wretched signs,
Hollow winds about are roaring;
sNois, waters round me rise
W hile sit my fate deporing,
Tears fast streaming from my eyes.
What to me are Autump,s treasures.
Long I've lost all youthful pleasures
| Time must youth and health destroy.
| Pleasures once fondly eourted.
Shared each bliss that youth bestows:
But to see where then sported,
Now embitters all my woes.
Age and sorrow since have blasted
Every youthful pleasing dream
Ouiyering age with youth contrasted.
| Oh! how short their glories seem
As the annual frosts are cropping
| Leaves and tendrils from the trees;
So my friends are yearly dropping,
| Through old age and dire disease
Former friends 0 how I've sought tenn,
Just to cheer my dropping mind.
But they're gone like leaves in autumn.
| Driven before the dreary wind.
When a few more years,are wasted.
When few more springs are Ger;
When few more griefs I've tasted,
shall fall to rise no more.
Fast my sun of life declining;
Soon will set in endless night;
But my hope. pure and refining,
Rests in future life and.ligh
Cease this fearing, trembling. signing;
Death will break the sullen gloom
Soon my spirit fut'ring, flying,
Must be borne beyond the tomb

A white Grape has dotted lace festooned

Of fine clematis.
An oddity is cottage shape Of brown silk !;

A Story with a Moral.

An English writer says -" That night
was out late | returned by the Lee cabin
about o'clock As approached saw a
strange looking object covering under the low
caves. A cold rain was falling. | drew
near it was Mile wet to the skin. Her
father had driven her out some hours before
she had laid down to listen for the heavy
snoring Of his drunken sumbers, so that she
might creep back to bed Before she heard
1t nature seemed exhausted, and she fell into
a troubled sleep, with rain drops pattering
upon her | tried to take her home with me,
but no true as a martyr 10 his faith, she
struggled from me, and returned TO the now
dark and silent cabin. Things went on for
weeks and months, but at length Lee grew
less violent, even in his drunken fits, to his
self-denying child and one day, when he
awoke from a slumbar after debauch, and
found her preparing breakfast for him aud
singing childish song, he turned TO her,
and with tone almost tender, said Mil
lie, what makes you stay with me?"
" Because you are my father, aud love
you"
" You love me-" repeated the wretched
man You love me lie looked at his
bloated limbs, his soiled and ragged clothes,
. Love me, he still murmured " Mile, what
makes you love me2 am poor drunkard !;
everybody else despises me why don't you &"
" Dear father" said the girl, with swim.
ming eyes, "my mother taught me to love
you, and eyory night she comes from Heaven
and stands by my little bed, and says, Mile,
don't leave your father; he will get away
from that rum fend some of these days, and
then how happy you will be-" The quiet,
persistent love of this child was the redemp-
tlon of this man.-Sermoas By Robert Laird
Collier.

How TO RIsE REFREsuED.--Eyery person
who tolls daily at any kind of labor requiring
great physical or mental exertion, should be
extremely careful to practice regular sys-
TEN Of ablution at the close Of each days
work. Sometimes a person may become SO
completely exhausted as to render this any
thing but an inviting performance; yet by
its omission a great deal of refreshment,
which the hours Of repose are designed to i'm
part, is lost, To be cleanly is strictly re-
ligious duty and is absolutely essential to
sound and refreshing slumberi hence the Ia
Dor of keeping ones person clean is amply
repaid by the elasticity which follows nightly
ablutons before retiring. Heed this advice,
and the reader will sleep soundly; disregard
it, 20 to bed unwashod and you will rise in
the morning uurefreshed, with feelings Of las
situde, which the exertions Of the day will
hardly be able to remove,
