THE AUTUMN 1. EAF.
Lone trembling one!
Last ofa summer’s race, withered and sear,
And shivering—wherefore art thou lingering here?
Thy woik is done.
Thou hast seen all
The summer flowers reposing in their tomb,
And the green leaves that knew thee in their bloom,
Wither and fall !
\Vhy dost tlicu cling
Fondly to the rough and sapless tree ‘I
Has then existence aught like charm for thee,
Thou faded thing !
The voice of spring
Which woke thee into being, nt-.’er again
\Vill greet thee-—uor the gentle suminei rain,
New verdure bring.
The zephyr’s breath,
No more will wake for the its inelody—
But the lone sighieg of the blast shall be
The hymn of death.
Yet a few days,
A few faint struggles with the unttimn storm,
And the strained eye to catch thy trembling form,
In vain may gaze.
Pale autumn leaf!
Thou art an emblem ofman’s mortality,
The broken heart once young and fresh like thee.
Witliered by grief:-—
Whose hopes are fled,
Whose loved ones all have drooped and died away,
Still clings to life—antl lingering love to stay,
About the dead !
But list—e’en now,
I hear the gathering ofthe autumn blast;
It corncs—thy frail form treuiblesi-—it is past!
And thou art low~.

EEISCELIIANY.
Libaria.—We give below the cxaiiiiiiutioii oi’
a colored man by the name of Joseph Jones.
which took place before the Colonization Society
of Keutiiclzy. Mr. Jones was sent out by the
Society alluded to, for the purpose of exarniriing
personally the present situation and prospects of
the Colony of Liberia. Having returned trom
his mission he gives the following account. Our
readers can judge how far the statements of Mr.
Jones corroborate those ptit forth by the Anti-
Sluvcry Society.
EXAMINATION.
At what: time did you leave this country’!
I left Louisville oti the 23. of l‘i.Earcb,
I833, and New Orleans on the 20th of April
following, and reached Liberia on the 11th
July.
How long did you remain in the colony?
Nine months and twenty-niiie days.
Did you travel extensively, and what pla-
ces did yott visit’!
I travelled fifty-nine days, and visited all
the settlements.
How many settlements are there?
scribe each one.
There are five. ]. Monrovia, the seat of
the colonial govcrnincnt, a seaport, and
commercial town, that stands on Cape Mc-
.-ttirudo, at the mouth of Mesurudo river.-
It is about the size of \Viuclicster, Ky.
The soil on the Cape is rocky and givii-elly,
and not very pi'otltictivtE.i?. ‘J. New Georgia,
the settlement of recaptured Africans, five
miles from Monrovia on Stockton Creek,
between Monrovia and Caldwell. Parts of
two tribes, the Eboes and Coiigoes, live in
the town, but on difl'ei'cnt sides of the street.
They have interinarried with the colonists.
They live partly by getting out lumber and
partly by agriculture. The liotiscs are built
some in the native style, and some after the
manner of the colonists. I suppose there
are more than one litindred liouscs in the
town. The soil is rich but sandy. 3. Caitl-
well, ten miles frnrn Monrovia, on the St.
Paul’s river. It is the largest settlement,
De-
tind extends seven miles tip the river. It is
more prosperous than l‘tIoni'ovia. Farniing
is carried on more extensively here than in
any of the other settlements. The soil is
excellent. 4. l‘.Iillsbui'g, situated at the
Falls of the St. Puul’s river, ‘.20 miles from
l\'I0nr0vlz1. The settlement extends about
three quarters of a mile along the river.
The land is very productive. There is a
saw mill now building opposite Millsburg.
The dam and race are linislietl, and evci'_v
thing is ready for the mill to be rai:=.ecl.
The St. Paul’s river is navigable to Mills-
burg. 5. Ediim, at Grand Base, 60 or 80
miles south of Mouroviti, on the coast at the
month oftltc St. John’s river. It has been
settled only two or three years, and >;uiIIc
suppose it is the most liealtliy settlement in
the colony. The soil is very fertile. There
are about one hundred liouses here. The
St. John’s river is navigable for small ves-
sels. There is anotlicr settlement about to
be made at the mouth of the Junk river.
This river is larger than the Kentucky, and
is navigable.
Describe the face of the country.
It is generally level, with a few small
rises, but no high hills.
How far is it back from the coast to the
mountains?
It is said to be upwards of thirty miles.
The ridge of Junk mountains can be seen
from Edina, and the Junk settlement.
Is the land well timberetl ?
Yes; it produces several kinds of wood,
that are called oak, poplar, liickory,- and
hackberry, though they do not resemble our
trees, called by the same names, except.
seine slight resemblance in the grain of the
wood—tbe bark and leaves are diill.-i‘eiit;
and also mangrove, brimstonc tree, redwood,
btiywood, mahogany and cotton wood. Cof-
fee plants grow wild in the woods; also pine
apples, limes, guavas and plaiitaius.
Is the country wcll watered’!
It has springs, brauclics, wells, and one
of the rivers ail"ords good drinking water.
Are the rivers well supplied with fish?
They have ati .'ll)ullLlill‘lCG of pike, mack-
erel, cavalla and tarpaun, and several other
kinds, to which no name has yet been given,
and oysters and claims.
\Vhat productions are raised on their
farms '2
Rice. cassada, plaiitains, lmiiaiias, sour-
sups, guavas, Iudiaii corn, arrow root‘, pea-
nuts, coffee, and sugar cane.
IIow does the cassada grow and how is
it used I
It grows like the sweet potato. It is a
root sometimes two or three feet long, and
three or four iiiches in diameter. The top
of it resembles the suniach bush. It is
planted like the sugar cane, three or four
slips in a hill. One bill will produce from
a peck to half a bushcl.—VVhen ripe it is
boiled, or roasted, or dried and beaten into
flour, and answers all the purposes of flour
in this coiiutry.
How is the coffee raised’!
It is raised from trees or bushes. A tree
will bearin from four to six years after it
has been planted. One tree will bear from
two and a hulfto three bushels in the liitlls,
or uiorc than one husliel of clean coffee.
Mr. \Varing has fifteen hundred trees plan-
ted that do not yet; bear.
Can cotton be raised?
It can be cultivated to almost any extent.
It will grow from thrccito eight years with-
out re-plautiiig. I have been in Tennessee,
Georgia and North Carolina, and I think
the cotton raised in Liberia is superior. The
tree grows from eight to ten feet liigli, and
is topped in order to make it braucli out and
become productive.
Can more than one crop be raised during
the season?
There are two pluiiting seasons, and two
crops can he raised on the sonic ground.
‘What is the state of morals and religion
in the colony '!
The state of morals is much like it is in
the United States. There are in Moiirovia
two Baptist and two Metliodist Clllll'Cll€S,
and one I’i'csbytei‘i.'iii Church, well supplied
with niiuisters. At Caldwell there is it Bap‘-
tist and a -Methodist Cliurch. At New
Georgia, there is a Baptist Church, and a
f:Iel'.llt')(.llSt .‘~'.ociety that has no meeting
house. At Itlill.-:btirgtlici'e is It Baptist and
a Methodist Church. At Ediua there is a
Mctliodist Church.
How is the Colony supplied with schools?
There are in all seven schools—a male
and a female school at Monrovia; it male
and female school at Caldwell. A school
at NetvGeorgia, Millsburg and Bassa. he
sclinols are tolcrahly well attei'ided—-iiot as
well as might be, but as well as could he
expected in present Cll‘t:ulTlSt:lflC(‘S. Tlicrc
are Sunday schools at all the settlements
except I‘IGW;GC0l‘g‘l.‘t, and about that I am
tltlCBl'i.illll.
‘tVbat are the chief articlesiof comnicrcc?
Cam wood, palinwootl, palm oil, ivory,
gold dtist, ttrrtoise shell, pepper, beeswax,
and liitlcs. Vessels often call, and the liar-
bor is seldom clear of them. Many of the
colonists otvii small vessels. There ‘are uliie
in the coasting trade, and two were building
wlien I left. Most of‘ these vessels were
built in lilonrovia.
Vlilizit is the government of the colony?
The people CICCIAIIICII. own ofiictzrs except
the governor. I was at an election, and it
was contlt.:ct.ed as elections are in this coiiii-
try. The laws are well executed. The
governor is a very worthy and capable man,
and is active and attentive to {tho wants of
the people. Lesser crimes are punishable by
iu'ipi'isoiimeiit,‘and stripes, and labor on the
public works. No capital offence has yet
been committed.
Are temperance societies cncoiiruged?
Yes. The Methodist Church coiifcrciice
formed themselves into a temperance soci-
ety early in Jauu:n'_v last. In April last, I
was at Caldwell at the formation of a torn-
perance society—33 meinbcrs joined the
lirst night; and there are other societies at
other places. I
How are emigrants provided for on their
arrival?
They are sent to a large building prepar-
ed by the govcriimcnt, and are furnished
with provisions from the public store for six
months. Their rooiiisarc convenient. After
the seasoning is over, each lit-rad of at family
is entitled to one town lot, and ten acres of
groutid within tlirce miles of the town, or
thirty acres over tliree miles.
W'hat description of emigrants does the
colony need’!

ing, and intelligent.
\Vh:it kinds -:=f clotliing should emigrants
l)t': zwtivitlt-il t‘-413*? i
Tliey should have ti mattress and lit.-tl
clothes, and :1 full supply of cotton and
woollcn clotliiug.
\Vith what kinds of tools should they be
provided ?
An axe, hammer, drawing‘ knife, spade,
hoe, auger, gimblct, saw, and file. ,
How many natives, do you suppose, are
in the settlements?
About halfas uiuiiy as the colonists. They
are well disposed, and anxious to learn the
habits of the colonists. Some of them have
adopted our dress, and can read, and have
_learned trades. Many come in from great
distances in the interior.
Do the colonists appear satisfied?
I was particiilar in"5iny inquiries, and I
found the large majority well satisfied, and
would not return to this C()tllltl‘y,i;lli they
could.
\Vhat is the military force?
It is strong enough for all ncctrssary pur-
poses. The natives are entirely friendly.
‘.‘Vhat the wild and domestic animals in
the colony?
The wild are deer of several kinds, hogs,
cattle and goats; and the tame are cattle,
hogs, poultry, and a few horses and jacks.
llow do you like the climzitc?
The climate is more l’t'?f_I_lllill‘ anti healthy
than in this country. After the colonists
become scnsoiietl, they enjoy excellent
liealtb. The natives are stout and healthy.
\Vhat do you incaii by the seasoning?
Emigrants, in a short time after rcacliing
the colony, are attacked with a fever, and
tlicirindisposition is diiliereiit in di.iration;
some recover in a short time‘, while others
Imve not entirely gotten over it in two years.
A few have ciitirely escaped.
A Souicit. C.iLcULA't'ioN.—--A young man
who earns from six to eight or ten dollars
per week, and spends btit three or four of
it in boa ‘ding, and what besides, is necessa-
ry for comfort and convenience, may lay up
frcin one to two hundred dollars yearly to-
wards settiugup‘ for himself at proper time.
If the capital required be not lurge,‘iii
three or four years he may calculate iipcti
being a masterinstead of a journeyman.
This is one view——obviotis to be sure, but
not the less important.
Another view is, and one which too often
presents itself-—if a young man, instead of
thus laying tip the chief part of his wages
spends it all, or nearly so, in idle Sunday
excursions and frivolous evening balls-—or
billard playing, or fatty other vicious or im-
prudent pursuit, he may calculate ttpop
remaining a journeyman for life: and if
not brought tlirougli'._‘cviljcoinmunication to
the State Prison or the gallows, will in all
probability terminate his mortal career in
some poor house, uiipiticd and despised.
This is another view of the case equally
obvious as the last; and yet how often are
both of them lost sight ofto t.lic ruin ofyotith.
To lure to the one, let the other he kept
sight of. But from every vicicits course,
youth will find no surer protcct.ioii than
religion. If they seek and liiitl that. all
temporal safety and pi'ospt:i'it.y will follow,
and (‘l.Cl'llttl litippiiiess he the gl-n'iott.=.: isstie.
Iiicty is the parent of every virtue, iiiipiety
of every vice.
LOVE—Bx E. L. BULWER.
How bright and beautiful is love in its
liourtofpurity and iiinoccnce-—liow myste-
rioiisly does it etherealize every feeling and
concentrate every wild and bewildering im-
pulse of the heart. Love, holy and myste-
ri'oiis love, is the garland spring of life-—
the .t.lream of the heart-—the impassioned
poetry ofiititure, its song is heard in the
rude and unvisitetl solitude of the far forest,
and the tlirongcd haunts of busy life--it
cmbellislics with its flames the ttuprcteiidiug
cot ofthe peasant and the gorgeous palace
of the monarcli——-flaslies its holy gleam of
light upon the measured track oftlie lonely
wandei'cr—liovers about the imperriled bark
of the storm beaten mariner; eiifcebles the
darkly bending wing of the muttering tem-
pest, and imparts additional splendor to the
beaeoii that burns “on the far distant sliore.”
Love I it is the mystic and unseen spell
thatliarmonizcs and “soothes unbidden” the
wild rugarcd tendencies of liumaii iiaturc—
that lingers about the sanctity oftlie domes-
tic licurtii: the worsliippetl deity of the
pcnetralia, and unites in firmer union the
affections of social and religious society,
gathers verdant fresliness around the guar-
ded cradle of helpless infancy, and steals in
moonlight darkness upon the yiclditig heart
of despairiiig age—it bushes into rcposing
calmness the chafcd and bruised and unres-
ting spirit of sorrow, and hears it from the
existing and anticipated evils of life, to its
own bright and sheltering power of repose--
transforms into a generous devotion the ex-
actingdesires ofvugular interest and avarice,
and melts into atearful compassion the ice
ofinseusibility. '
The image which holy and undecaying
love has once betrayed on the deep slirined
heart, will not vanish like lineaments which
childhood’s fingers in idle moments may
have traced upon the saiid—tliut image will
remain there tiiibrokeu———it will burn on tin-
defaccd in its lustre, amid the quick clotid-—
and when the wavering ‘fstar of our fate
sccmsdecliiiiiig,” the bowed and bewilder-
ed spirit, like the ttcinbling dove ofthe
patriarchs, will meet its home and its
refuge in that hallowed lane where love
presides as high priestrcss of its sanctuary
and consecratos to unbendiiig truth the off-
ered vows ofher votaries.

Apple Trccs bearing aZtc7'naf.c years.-
Those who have had any thing to do with
oi'eliur.'ls, or who have paid any attention to
apple trees, know very well that some trees
will not hear a full crop every year. The
cause ofthis is probably owing to the exhaus-
tion of the trees during the bearing years.
In those years the tree hangs very full in-
tlccd——'-ail its lJU\\'L:l.: UAU llut. n.-in. l«\.I thing
forth and ripen such ‘ti heuty crop; and
this expense of sap or other matter, so ex-
liausts the system that it requires a year of
rest to bring up its ciiergies. This may or
may not be the true cattse, at any rate the
fact is well known; and many who have
good varieties of apples.‘ have regretted that
they could not change this state of things
in regard to particular trees, and have a
crop every year. Mr. I‘). Longfellow, of
\Vinthrop, well known as a successful or-
cliardist, informs us that he has sticceeded
in changing this habit in a variety ofjunea-
tings which he had in his orch:n'd, and which
bore alternately. Ilis manner of doing it is
this :
I-Iaving other trees which also boi'e alter-
nately, but not in the some years with the
juneatings, be conceived that engrafiing the
two together, the habit of one would coun-
teract tliat oftlie oth:.:r, and a “nullification”
of them be produced. Accordingly, on a
bearing year of the juneatiiigs, he took
scioiis from them, and eiigrafted them into
stocks which would that: year be I)Zll’f(3l'l.—-
The result in the cases which he has tried,
justifies the coiicltisioii which he had drawn,
and he has jtiiieatings every year. _
IVhether it is necessary that the scion to
be engraftcd should be taken from its pur-
cnt on the fruitful year or not, we cannot
say, or whether this system will be atteiidcd
with :1 similar result in all trees which bear
in this way, or have barren and fruitful
years, we are not able to say. It is howev-
er, a subject worth attending to: and we
should be happy to learn any facts from
those who have had cxperienc'e in these
things.

THE PROGRESS OF HUMBUGc
If we trace General Jackson’s career
from the time he became a candidate for the
Presidency to the present moment, it will be
seen that the whole mystery of his tagfics
coiisist.s in practicing upon the credulity of
the people by a series ofcantiiig professions,
catch words, tricks, and expedients; in
short, that sort ofg:-inie which has been aptlv
designated by the word Iium/mg. He tva};
surrounded from the bcgiiitiing,» by a knot
ofititriguers, who sought power for selfish
purposes alone ; and since they possessed it,
they have acted as ifthey believed they might
practice any abuse with impunity, if they
could keep the people amused, or their pas-
sions so excited as to set reason and argu-
ment at defiance. The policy is as old at
least as the dziysfof Macliiavel. Deiriag-0-
3"‘-‘S:usurpci‘s,/aiitl tymiits, indted, long
before, and since, Machiavcl’s' titnc, have
always dealt with men as ifthcy were non-
reastiiiiiig .'iu'mtils, to be ltd by names,
instead of things. I never was practiced
in this country tint.il Jacksonism reared its
head among us, and we confess that the
success oftlie experiment, so far, has egre-
giously tlcccivctl us.
‘We will ciiumcrate some oftliese devices,
and in going along, will briefly show, from
the utter falsehood of some of them, and the
gross folly of others, tliatthere could be but
one iuteiition in their conception and use,
and that that intention was to dece-.ive—in a.
word, that they exhibit every feature and
attiihitte of the science of humbug; for
Gen. Jackson has reduced it to a science.
The series began when Geii.Jackson was
a candidatc——and, for the sake of perspicu-
ity, we will number these humbugs in the
order of time.
Iiumbug N . 1.—Geii. Jackson’s first
liiimbug was his promise to put down the
“XIII;/aster I)(l7'/‘I/,” as uiiworthy the Chief
lllagistrate of a great Nation.” That hiim-
liitg took adinirably for a time, and procur-
ed him titiqiicstioiiiilily a large number of
votes. ‘Vc believe that it can deceive no-
body now.
No. ‘.2. He tleclarctl that if members of
Coiigi'css cotitiiiued to be uppointcd to of-
fice, c.orriiptiou would he the order of the
day. That htimbug took too, and undoubt-
edly gained him votes. It: also is worn out,
and can gain no more votes.
No. 3. He was to establish the principle,
that the President should hold his otlice but
for one term. Sonic might say that this was
no humbug at all, and that the people had
voted him in, a second time, in spite of
Iiiniself, did we not know, that. he had thro’
his private Secretary, sotiglit :1 nomination
for a second term, lroin the Legislature of
.t’ciiiisylvaina. ‘c l\liU'qV'-, IIUHCVUI, iiiac
the trick took (.‘XCCll(’.llllY well, and that inu-
iiy voted for him expressly because he was
to serve but one term.
No. 4. He promised reform-—liis parti-
sans told us that the oilicers of government
were steeped to the lips in corrt.tption and
profligucy, and that the officers themselves
had the impttdcnce to interfere in elections!
General Jackson said he would put an end
to all this, and the great liumbug, R(,f()r1r_t,
was iinniediately in every Jackson man’s
mouth. This answered the purpose,- and
told at the elections. We cannot illustrate
the truth of this solemn htimbug better than
by referring the reader to the Post Oflice
Departinent, and the Land Oilice, for the
most approved specimens of modern profil-
gacy and corruption ; and to the following
letters from that great apostle of reform,
that accomplished Professor of the science
of l'Iumbu_t_r, Autos Kctidall; the one writ-
ten immediately after Jackson came into
oflicc, to the editor of the Baltimore Patri-
ot, the other just before Jacksou’s second
election, enclosing proposals for subscrip-
tions to the Globe.

“The interest of the country demands
tho the 4th Auditor’s office shall be filled
with men of business, and not with babbling
politicians. Partizari feelings shall not eti-
tcr here ifl can keep them out. To others
belong the whole business of elcctionecring.
To me and my clerks other duties are as-
signed. Tliem I shall endeavor to discharge
in the spirit of reform which has made Gen.
Jackson President. Vain I may be, proud
I am, that the President has given me an
opportunity to aid him in proving that re-
form is not to apply merely to a cliangc of
men. I‘Icncefcrth assiduously devoted to
in_v official duties, I shall leave my enemies
and his to their freedom of speech and the
press, resting my clniiiis to public confidence
on l'll_V acts.

“ Dean Stit—l take the liberty to enclose
you certain proposals, which speak for
themselves. The people need only correct
information, and the proposed paper will
give it on the clicapesttcrius. It intend-

and it is peculiarly tlesirahlc that it shall be
circulated tlirougli all Kentucky. It will
render; essential‘ service in all our elections.
Will you take the trouble forthe sake of otir
good cause, to raise :1 sttbscription in your
quarter, to make a speedy return of names
and money. The time for action is at hand.
