Far as the gaze could reach, the fences
were lint-.d with n blaze of rosy chet-lied,
flashiiig-eyed, and bouncing coiriitry girls,
decked with ear-rings, brnc' lets, clizzling
red ribbons, and arnietl with p:iriisols~sonic
of them were slowing down iiiolasscs ginger-
bread, and sticking curidy into their counte-
nances, at a rate truly alariiiing, while oili-
ers were whispering some soft things to
some wide mouthed spoon, who as he ever
and anon rolled his grcen glassy eyes
towards hot in ecstacy, was trying to decide,
for three dcllurs a pound. In those
days New York was full of ‘substantial coni-

more money than it took to support licr.——
Now I have known it iiiiiiistcr‘to get five

wine, cake, and or Ct,‘l.el'ilS, five hundred
more; wédtling clothes and jewels, a thous-

seven dollars each, and as the fashionable
folly of the day has banished the mistress

tinotht-r very popular song by Morris and
Horn, is based upon the carol of the sweeps
in New York Cll_V. Mr. Horn says that
‘God save the King,’ was taken from an air
song about the streets of London--and that
‘Do tantf palpiti' was suggested to Rosin by
hearing the fishcrwoiiiari sing it in marltet
while attt-riding her stall. The first attempt
to dislocaie these airs from their ludicrous
words create a smile, of course, btit it is an r-
prising how quickly in the bitter clothing
of the iiitisic throws its long worn beggrit‘

conscious pride, as he sat’ all eyes fixed
upon hinise-lf;——he drewiiiinisclf up to his
full height, adjusted his clean shirt collar
and plume, took three long strides before
the company, then gracefully waived his
huge cut-and tfirust sword to the band, which

VVe sighed for the clam shell hat, the
gold lace and the nodding plume, of the
colonel. Had mortal made the ofier, how
eagerlywould we have battered our gray
goose quill for a corporal’s commission. and
exchanged our present uneasy position,
where fretting cares, like hungry mosque-
toes, are continually stinging us into distrac-
tion for the ease, "pomp and circumstance”
ofiiiodern war. The smiles of applauding
beauty, :rwai'tled to a bltie coat, all lace and
buttons, and to buff pzintaloons—how infi-
nitely preferable to the streets bestowed on
a rusty, thread bare, inky jacket and trows-
ers of an editor.

At length, the sun’s broad disk sank be-
hind the hills, and night "in her sober
livery all things clad,” to the great satisfac-
tion of countless individuals who made their
best appearance in the dark.
Origin ofzlre Slat-e Trade.—It is a Sin-
gular fact that the slave trade originated in
motives purely benevolent, and -at the sug-
gestion of one oftbe most philanthropic men
of the age in which he lived, where mind
was under the influence of prejudice. Bar-
tholemi de las Cases. the Bishop ofChiapa
in Peru, witnessing the dreadful cruelty of
Spaniards to the Indians, exerted all his elo-
quence to prevent it. He returned to Spain
and pleading the cause of the Indians before
the Emperor Charles V. in persons, sugges-
ted that their place as loborers might be sup-
plied by negroes from Africa who were then
considdered as being under the poscription
of their Maker, and fit only for beasts ofbur-
den. The Emperor, overcome by his forci-
ple representations, made several regulations
in favor of the Indians; but it was not until
the slavery of the African negrocs was sub-
stituted that the American Indians were freed
from thecruelty of the Spaniards. 0

who laugh at the weakness of mankind, on
account of their strong attachments, know
not what they do. There is more generous
fer.-ling—more tender afi'ection—-niorc heav-
enly niindcdness in such, than it is possible
to find in individuals of it different tempera-
ment. They have true sympathy and real
affection. If it were not for such natures.
our world would be hard and unsympathi-
sing in the extreme. '
Give us such feelings, and we can never
envy the happiness of the hard hearted and
unfeeling. They know not real pleasure.

Jo/in Ra-mlolp/z and tire Bull-_z,.—Mr. Ran-
dolph in one of his speeches, had cutso deep
in the sensibilities of a certain editor, he
vowed that nothing but horse-whipping the
aggressor could heal his wounded honor-—
he accordingly a few days after, (with sever-
al of his friends) attended a public meeting,
and posted himself where Mr. R. was obli-
ged to push through the crowd. on that gun-
tleman’s approach, the bully blocked up the
passage exclaiming—‘I never give way to
a d d rascal.’ Randolph, in his blan-
dest ri'ianner,‘replied. I always do, pass on

though perhaps they receive him indifferently
treats alike the fool and the philosopher;
can reflect upon what we have enjoyed d-ur-
ing spring and summer and live over again
the happy hours we have passed with our
friends and companiou\s._ .
We have seen the spring open with flow
crs and perfume , and glatlness filled our
hearts, when beasts and birds uttered their
notes ofpleasure, and were ariiiiiated into
new life by genial wai°mth_and sunshiue.-—-

rlutit luxuriance--vegetation assumed a deep-

the ripened grain was reidy for the reaper.
And now that kind Providence has Stlppllrd
us with all his bouniies we should reiiietrtber
to be grateful, and imitate his benevolence
by bestowing upon the needy a share out of
our abundance.
Autumn has arrived, and the nipping frost
has changed the face of nature. Leavtsaiid
flowers are fading, and the motirnful winds
whistle among the scattered foliage, forcibly
reminding its that we shall soon fade and
pass away like them. But if our lives are
fragrant with virtues, we shall be cnibaluied
in the memory of dear friends, and our chris-
tian hope assures us we shall blootn again
in etcrnel spring, where no heat of summer
shall weary, nor frosts ofAutumn wither our
jnys.—Ass3/lum Jour.
A Happy Old Farmer.-~S.iid a venera-
ble old farmer, eighty years of age, to a rel-
ative who lately" visited him; I've lived on
this farm more than half a century. I have
no desire to change my residence as long as
I live on earth. Ihave no wish to be any
richer than I now am. I have worshipped
for more than forty years. During that pe-
riod I have scarcely ever been absent frcin
the Sanctuary on the Sabbath, and have nev-
er lost more than one conitntinion season. I
have never been confined to a bed of sick-
ness for a single day. The blessings of
God have been richly spread around me, anti
I have made tip my mind long ago, that if I
wished to be any happier,_I must have more
religion.
‘No E:z:tm Charge for Births.’ isthe very
appropriate heading of a paragraph in the
Norwich (Conn.) News, announcing that
during a recent passage of the steamboat
Champion through the Sonntl,a French lady
who with her husband, were passengers in
that boat, gave birth to twins. '1'-he chairi-
bermaid, who was assidnons in her attention
on the occasion, was pertxiitted to name one
of the young passengers, which she called
‘Jane Champion,’ in honor’ of the boat.

grass in the Kennebec District at the late elec-'
tion, and was defeated by a handful of \-oieg,_
That he does not take his defeat much- to heard
is evident from the following purag‘rapl'i'.-
Not So Bad After All.-—-If we have f.iil"-
ed of an election to Congress, we have been‘
consoled by being appointed Chairman‘ of
the Coiiiriiittee on Swine by the 1{t‘Dnt'bt'Ci
Agricultural Society. whose exhibition is at.’-
the State House on Wednesday and Tl'i~tlt'l-‘
day, the 4th and 5th of October.
Perhaps the assemblage at the House of
Augusta :-it that time will be quite as respect-'
able as the assemblages at the Capitol at.
Washington on the lst Monday of Dccem-i
her. The Committee on Swine, we are con-‘
fidcnt, will have less dirty work to do than!
some of the committees of Congress, i-l they
do their duty and -probe all the corruption’ all
head quarters, and inspect all the strange cat-'
tle whobave crept into the Executive De.-
partments at Washington. There may not
be so many hogs at the Federal City, but we
suspect there may be found a much greater’
number of spariiels and jackalls; not not
many sheep, but more wolves in sheep’: clo-
thino. ‘
Speaking oftbe.politics of the day, the
Cincinnati Chronicle says the position of
pti.l'l.leS,' for the next two years, will be some.-
thing like Midshiprnan Essay’s duel--trian-°
gular. The results of the elections have do-
monstrated that the various branches of the‘-

is a very ‘good arrangement, excepting the‘
difficulty in the order of firing. Heremfom
fired on the Whigs, which is not altogether
equitable. Suppose the locus fire on tho-
Presideiii, the President on the VVhigs, and!
the Whigs on the Locos. This is likely to»
be the case, at least in part ;_ for the Globn
and its coadjutors are making a furious wait
on the President, to keep him out of their
.Cttmp,- where he would make as much; mis-
chief as Samson’s foxes among the fields of!
the Phil-lStlnt‘S. The Mtidisoaiian , is equal-
