'i'iii-1 BIRDS OF SUMMER.
Frorri the deep stillness of the Autumn woods,
From tfustling streams halfclioked with fallen
leaves,
From leafless bowers, where gentle Summer
weaves
Her vines and flowers no more. and sadness
broods " A I
Oler all aroui2d—on sweeping wings they fly
To fairer climes beneath a milder sky:
Husli’d are the notes that filled. at break ofday.
The forestshades, since these sweet birds have
flown,
And now, instead, a sad and fitful tone,
Comes on the wintry breeze, and dies away.
Thus dotfi the music of our youth depart.
And comes no more to cheer the broken heart!
But Spring, with fragrant breath shall come a-
gain,
And birds, amid its flowers, shall pour a sweet-
er strain.
ruiir: L.is'r DAYS or AUTUMN.
The lingering summer wind has passed away.
The flowers that bloom beneath the Autumn
skies,
With their bright hues no longer greet our eyes,
Tempting our feet o’er hill and plain to stray-—
Where in deep woods, we sought the cooling
breeze,
Dark were the shades, when all around was
bright.
Now through the branches of the leafless trees,
The uoonday sun pours in a flood of light.
The sounds and sights ofSu mmer come no more,
To charm our tlio'ts away, anti now we turn
Inward the soul upon itself, and learn
Of our own beans, the dark ‘and hidden lore,
And cease to mourn that Autuni’s witber’d flow-
ers
Are emblems of this fading life of otirs!
Type Stickers.
We casually mentioned a day ortwo ago that
the newly elected Mayorof Baltimore was a
short time since a journeyman printer. The in-
stances are not rare in which those bred to the
profession of printing have become distinguish-
ed and honored. To say nothing of Franklin,
the beacon light ofthe craft, we have in our day
more than oneinstance of this honorable distinc-
lion. Isaac Hill, the Governor of New Hamp-
shire, was a journeyman printer; Samuel T.
Armstrong, late layer of this city, was once a
journeyman printer; Mr. Knapp, the Secretary
of the state of Vermont, was a printer. And
what is of more consequence. in the editorial pro-
fession, some ofthe most distinguished were the
regularly bred in the craft. Our neighbor Green,
the popular editor ofthe Morning Post, was once
a ragged little roller boy. Mr. Homer of the
Gaiette was brought up on pica and bie~uier.—
We recollect, many years since, ofseeing a tow
headed overgrown boy in an obscure printing
oflice in Vermont. That boy is now Mr. Greely,
the talented editor of the New Yorker. Of
equally obscure origin was the editor ofthe New
York Spirit of the Times, Mr. Wm. T. Porter.
The first we ever saw of Deacon Weld, the
editor ofthe New York Sun, and a clever writer
for various magazines, &c. was in a printing
ollice at Lowell, when he was no higher in
grade than “ printer's devil.” The truth is, ifa
boy has genius, the art of printing will draw it
out and set it to work. Printers, with the same
amount of natural talent, always make the most
popular editors, because they imbibe the tact of
the profession. Schooled among “ types and
shadows,” they have every opportunity of study-
ing public taste, and of diverting their "minds so
as to meet the various readers. " The discipline
of tbeirminds may not be so severe and rigid as
that required’ for eminence in ‘the legal profes-
sion ; but this is apeculiarity which the great
mass of readers’ caie notliingabout, and"it is un-
favorable to the interchange of mind with mind.
Tact—‘give us editorial tact. ‘ In our profession
it is every thing.— Boston Times.
The Last Shilling.--I remember returning
borne one evening, fatigued with walking, and
depressed with long abstinence and repeated de-
nials. Each of us sat near the place where oc-
casionally we had enjoyed the blaze of a fire.
The only ray to gild the present gloom for me
was the cheering aspect ofmy friend's counte-
nance. But as not even ‘ love can live on
flowers.’ and we were both very hungry, the
first and simultaneous effort of our tongues was
concerning something to eat. I had not even-, as
was my custom, recounted my day's perigrina-
lions. ‘Here,’ said my friepd, " we must not
ilesiicpd while we have one oflhese left,’ present-
ing ‘a shilling to my View ;'I ‘knew it was his
last, adding, ‘ Let us make‘a virtue of necessity,
and be as independent as Diogenes witiiout his
cynicism. I'll go to our mutual friend the pump,
and you go for the staifof life’, and‘ let it be a
large one, for we requireits'best support.’ I took
the shillidg, and forgetting my fati'g't_ie,'in a
few moments reached the nearest baker's shop.
I secured a fine lookingquartern loaf under my
arm, and presented my shilling to Mr. Baker,
who was a big chnrlish fellow, “wifh his sleeves
tucked up to his elbows. I felt some mortifica-
tinn at what I considered a very unnecessary de-
lay in returning the change; -‘it wa's'ringing the
shilling by a sharp bounce‘ on the counter, catch-
ing and presenting it close to my eyes for in-
spection, and exclairning,' in no gentle‘ tones,
‘Bad, _shill_ing.‘si,rl"could only be exceeded in
velocity by tfioiight. I now felt he ought to
have delayed a little longer. by looking as well
as ringing; but my baker had his own way of
doing business. and contention with such°'a"'per-
son would have been 'i'>vorse than uselessf My
condition may be better imagined t_han'described.
All I remem'o_er was theloaf béiug‘released "from

ing I might be pursued and taken up on.suspi-

Scalding Hogs.—A gentleman of experience
and observation desires us to make known, for
the benefit of farmers, a iriodelpractised by him
of scalding hogs. Instead of putting cold water
or ashes‘, into the hot water‘. as generally prac-
tised, he washes the hog in cold waterprevious
to scalding it. It matters’ not liow ho't'the water
may be with which the hog is scalded. let cold
water .be first used in’ the way prescribed. the
hair can be taken off with ease and neatiiess.—-
No danger need be apprehended of the hair be-
coming set, as is often the case when this mode
at not resorted to. ‘ '
‘.VVltal are you thinking aboi;t?’ asked one
loafer to another. ‘ Thinking on—-this election-
eering, to be sure.’. ‘_ VVliat's that to you ?'
‘,Tlieysay they gives away liquor, and l'se dry.’
Somebody,’ in one of the papers. asks f\Vliy
are the majority of women like facts?’ Be-
cause they are ‘stubborn things.’
Ari Enigma.-—At a banquet. when solving
enig'riias'was one of the diversions, Alexander
said to one of his eourtiers, ‘ VVhat is that which
year?’ A distressed officer, starting tip, said,
‘It must be our arrears iii pay.’ The king was
so diverted that he coiiimanded liirii to be paid
up, and also increased his salary.

A Horse's Tongue Torn out by the Root.—The
most horrid occ-u‘rren_ce (says the \Vhig) took
place on lfriday night, at the Livery stable of
E. Cliaiiiberlin (S: Son. I4-3 Liberty street, near
the North River. It appears that the partition
between two stalls was imperfect. and the boards
having shrunk. now stand about the eighth ofan
inch apart. This crevice comes directly in the
centre of the trough. and the horses. in eating
from the latter, have knawed a hole through
of about two inches in diameter. On Friday
night cats were given to one apiinal, and as be
fed, the horse in the next stall began to lick the
grains which were pushed through the hole in
the partition. Not satisfied vritli taking the tints
that came through, the poor beast lllfUSl his ton-
gue iii to gather as much as possible. The in-
truding member was seized by the feeding horse.
and held tightly. Both raised their heads, the
one probably in fury the other in pain, until the
extended tongue was actually drawn twofect up
the narrow crevice first mentioned. In an ago-
ny of torture, the suffering horse became al-
most mad, and continued to kick. paw and rear,
until his tongue was actually torn out by the roots.

FIRST LOVE.
There are moments in the life of all of us
which are worth the rest of our existence: and
perhaps, it is one of them when the pure and
guiltless heart first discoverrs that it loves and is
beloved; at least any one who saw Helen Stan-
hope, the heroine of my simple tale, would have
thought so.' ‘ ’
Site was sitting wliereiier first love letter had
found her, readingbnd re-rez'itling"its contents,
until’ every buriiing and paspidnate word was
graven on her heart for ever; the‘ color r_nant-

lightful feelings were interrupted by the entrance
of her mother. ' V '
' Have you heard from our dear Lydia?’ en-
quired Mrs. Stanhope.
’ Helen timidly gave the letter to her rnotliei,
and eagerly watched her countenance as she
perused it‘. There was nothing in its fond and
grateful expression to"checli the warrii and'glo_w-
ing stream of her own thoughts. and flinging
bersélfinto her mother's arms, she hid her blush-
ing facti in her bosom. "
‘There is one thing, my dear Helen,’ said
Mrs. Stanliope, when they had both become
somewhat ‘more composed. ‘ lllefe is 006 llllllg
which gives me some little iineasiness; not that
I entertain it single doubt of the honor and dis-
interesteil affection of Si_r Harry Lawton. blll. it

here, moving ii‘i'a style of elegance and afflu-
ence. he may be unc6‘nséious that your usual re-
sidence is a farm house, and that you are por-
tionless and lowly born.’
Helen looked up with a rnomeptary expres-
sion of doubi. biit it passed away in an instant,
and she smiled in youthful confidence and trpst,
and said, " "
"lllother, will you see Harry Lawton when
he comes this evening. and tell him every thing?
Then," if he repent of one single word here
traced, it shall be to me as if it had never been
written. But should he remain unchanged—.’
She paused in confusion, and deep blushyti

come, and she sat down by her little work table,‘
and buried her face in her hands. ‘
Scarcely a quarter of an hour elapsed before
Mrs. Sianhope appeared. and one glance at her
countenance was enough for Helen; her long
restrained emotion gushed forth without control,‘
and the tears she shed were those of joy and
tlianltfulness. "’ l "' '
‘I know how foolish it is to cry‘ when I am
so happy.’ she said,'"r'a'isiiig her darlf ‘eyes, still.

tive, and that business at length concluded, she_

to make her house their home, during their stay.
An early day was therefore fixed fortheir roijirn

the place of a mother to the beautiful Lydia
