AUTUMN.
These sweet, delicious Autumn days,
When all the air is filled with calm,
And all day long a purple haze
Hangs o’er the meadow and farm;
These quiet dreamy afternoons,
And sunsets rich with crimson glow,
These soft’ ref ulgent harvest moons,
Fill me with thoughts Of long ago.
In happy reverie my thought
Goes back to those dear times again,
And scenes and faces ne’er forgot
Come tlironging to my musing brain.
However glad the present is,
However swift the moments go—
I cherish still these memories,

POLITICAL—THE BIG EXPLOSION—CENTENNI‘
AI. Tamar. AND BUSINESS.
New YORK, Oct. 7th, 1876.
There is more excitement over politics in
the city now, than was ever known before—'— ’
1840 not excepted. It is the prevailing topic
at clubs, in social circles, on the streets, in
. business places, and at bars. Every man has '
his notion of doing things, and is doing his
level best to have his notion made the notion
of everybody else. The democracy as good
as concede the the election of Morgan and the
carrying of New York for Hayes, unless they
manage to capture Ohio and Indiana in Octo-
ber. ‘ To. these states they are looking with
intense interest, for if both these go Repub-
lican in October, the game is up and Tilden
is defeated. To carry these states every nerve
is being strained. Tilden is showering money
through them like water. Their best speak-
ers are on their way there to labor during the
concluding’days, and voters are being sent
from Kentncy to Indiana, and from Western
New York to. Ohio. ..Make no mistake about
this. The unscrupulous _' rings that hope to
extend their operations from the plunder of a
city to a government, are doing all the devil-
ment possible to succeed. The Republicans
of Indiana especially need to be on their:
guard. Kentucky can spare as many as may.
be needed to carry that state, and in the
southern part, where colonizing will be most-
ly done, the democracy have all the facilities
they want. There is a gigantic fraud prepar-
ed for Indiana, and unless the utmost vigi-
lance is exercised it will be carried out. Til-
den will spend a‘million dollars to carry that
state.
The Repubhcan National Committee is
working quietly, but' effectively, and with
full confidence of success. Everything that
can ‘_be done .honOrably. to ensure success
is being done, but doubt of the result is felt: »
THE BLOWING UP OF HELL GATE,
was one of the most remarkable feats of the
century. An immense rock that had _ pre-
vented the passage of vessels Of large class
through the Sound, was honey-combed with
chambers, and 50,000 pounds of nitro-glycer-
inc and dynamite placed therein and exploded
by electricity. The papers of the ,city had
been speculating upon the effect of the ex-
plosion of so large an amount of the most -
terrible forces known, for weeks, and the
public had made up his mind that something
worse than an earthquake would be the re-
sult. It was feared that the shock would be
so severe as to topple down houses, and
cause a wide-spread destruction of property
and life. And so, on Sunday, the day fixed
for the explosion, the whole city was out of
doors, whererc it was supposed everything,
would be safe. The rain fell in torrents, it
was a cold, miserable rain, but notwithstand-
ing the parks anddpenplaces were all crowd-
ed with people, men, women and children,
even to babies in arms, with or without um-
brellas. It was amusing to see wemen with
babies on one arm and lap-dogs on the other,
determined to save what was most dear to
them. ‘ Many brought with them thier goods
and chattels—that is, such articles as were
fragile. The time came, all turned pale, there
was the sound yf the preparatory gun that
gave warning; the time passed, and every-
body drew a long sigh of relief and went
home, the men affirming that they never had
any fear, but their wives were so nervous
that it was deemed best to come out to keep
them easy. The fact is there was scarcely
any sound, _ and no shock whatever. The
chambers were under twenty feet of water,and
so divided that while the explosion pulverized
rock it did it without any commotion. When
the wire was touched, there was a troubling
of the water, and then an immense volume,
with enormous fragments of rock, and timber
from the excavation, was hurled fifty feet
into the air, and it subsided, and the river ran
on as though nothing had happened. It was
an entire success. The reef Was completely
destroyed, and where it_ was there is no.
twenty-two feet of water. The masses of
rock are being removed by means of enor-
mous derricks, and in a few weeks ocean
steamers may, if they choose, get to their
docks by the Sound passage, a saving of sev-
eral miles, and an avoidance of much danger.
CENTENNIAL TRAVEL.
There never was anything like the travel
that is pouring into New York at this time.
The roads are crowded-and the hotels swarm.
Thursday morning twelve hundred passengers
breakfasted at Homellsville, on‘the Erie, and
on the Central, the' trains both ways were
four times the usualnumber of cars. We'd-
nesday evening the 3:30 trainf out of New
York on the Central, was made up of thirty
sleeping'ears‘ and as many common coaches,
which was mn_m,fomsections, eight minutes
apart. The trains on-the Pennsylvania sec-
tion were run in seven sections. Last Week
the New York‘division of the Jersey railroad,
carried 249,697 passengers, the most of them
Centennialers. Therc'never were so many peo-
ple in New York as now. Broadway is
thronged with strangers, seeing the sights,
and they areas much asight to New York as
New York is to them. From the extreme
East to thefarthest West, come people who
never saw a big city before, and they are
making the most of their opportunities. You
can tell them at sight, for they are all dressed
alike. The, ladies all have linen dusters when
they arrive, and black alpaca the next day,
the men all in business Suits, fresh when they
left home, but very much the worse for dust
of travel. Every one Of them walk the
length of Broadway, by night, and a very
good thing it is to do. Few more interesting
sights can be found than this beautiful thor-
oughfare; with its miles of lamps,'its glitter-
ing shop windows, and thronged with num-
berless vehicles. Then the Park is crowded,
and the rivers where the shipping is to be
seen, is always [a jam. They go over to
Brooklyn to get from the ferry boats a view
of the water-fronts of the cities, and they
climb Trinity spire and the tall tower of the
Tribune to get comprehensive views of the
city. Stewart’s is thronged from morning to
night, with ladies, and the $6,000 shawls and
the $3,000 rugs are duly inspected and ad-
mired. But with all this there is but little
trade from them. The merchants combine
the Centennial with businéss, but the regular
sight-seer buys little or nothing. They are
here to see, and they want to use the money
they have for that purpose, and the way bus-
iness has been for three years, none of them
have too much of it. So far as the dealers
are concerned the Centennial has been a dis-
appointment. They have four times the work
to show their wares that they ever had, but
no larger sales. What I said last week I re-
peat. Come to the Centennial, by all means,
but do it cheaply. Avoid the big hotels, find

gain for everything you use, avoid carriages,
always use the Street cars, which will take
you anywhere you want to go, and stay just
as long as possible. You won't come again
very soon, and you had better make the most
of this opportunity. As you have paid ,to
come, you had better stop till you have seen
everything there is to see. "And have no del-
icacy about asking. The New Yorker is a
most obliging man, and nothing pleases him
better than to give information. He will go
a long way out of his way to give it, and a
judicious use of your tongues will more than
double the information and pleasure of the
trip.

is still improving, much to the delight of the
business people, and to the disgust of the
Democracy. The enormous sales now being
made takes away their chief argument, for it
shows that the hard times was caused by
something else than the “Republican-mis-
rtlc" they pratc so much of, and that: the
“change” ,they clamor for is not needed-
The merchants from the interior are buying
liberally, and they are all here. New York
is selling as many goods as ever, when the
curtailment of its territory by interior cities
is taken into account. The good times that
have been so long coming,- are here, thank
heaven. Pia'rno.

Kiunnxomrnxs AND COMMON Sermons.—
This it is—the “occupations”—the work of
the kindergarten, that distinguishes it from
thi purely mental training given in the prima-
ry schools to young children. It teaches
them from the first the dignity of labor; from
the first they do things for themselves and
rejoice in their work. Not alone-the head,
but the hand has been trained. But the kin-
dergartcn does not stop here. It educates
the heart also. In the common schools the
children rise from class to class, silence being
the inflexible rule, each child working for it-
self. In the kindergarten the little artists
work like grown men and women, happy and
absorbed in their work, but ready to help a
neighbor, to drop casual remarks, even to
sing at their work.
Besides this, the “occupations" never last
long. They are alternated with “games"
which are really calisthenics and object les-
sons in disguise. In all these, children and
teacher are together, associating freely,polite-
ness constantly inculcated, and the golden
rule of society enforced by example. The
kindergarten has but one punishment, but
that is all sufficient. The sulky, selfish, and
disobedient child is doomed to idleness, sent
method has never been known to fail in re-
followed us through the general features of
the system, will have doubtless perceived ere
:this' that the gifts and work arefounde'd on
,the constitution of the human mind. The
discipline is founded on the laws of human :
society, which constitutes its happiness. The
’rudest child, brought, up by sloven-
'_ly and ill-mannered parents, learns in the
kindergarten the true basis of politeness, the
greatest good of the greatest number, and
gives way to its companions for its sake.
In the public school, as a rule, the children
:either go home to dinner or bring their lunch
boxes and eat their contents as best they can,
much as a savage gnaws the bone he snatches
from the fire. Let them go to the kindergar;
ten and the atmosphere changes. Each child
takes its lunch in a little basket and at recess
the same table at which they have played
is spread, a plate and cup of water to each
child’s place, and the lunches are eaten as a
civilized lunch should be, at a table, in com-
pany, seasoned with cheerful conversation,
good manners, inculcated by example. The
sheet of this, and other apparently trifling
features of thekindergarten, is that the chil-
dren who enter it little untaught savages,
leave it polite little ladies and gentlemen.
They” know how to enter and leave the
room, how to speak to strangers without bash-
fulness or forwardness, and especially how‘to
behave at table, having learned at the most
impressionable age. I
We have now shown in a brief sketch of
for the child. It does it slowly and in the
midst of variety. The different occupations
alternate with each other daily, and with the
plays. Even the smallest child begins to
work at folding, stick laying, drawing, and
modeling, from the first, beginning with the
simplest forms, and going gradually to the
highest, and stimulated to exercise invention
and to make things “ out of its own head."
The kindergarten leaves the trained child at
seven a skilful little workman, deft in finger
and brain—an embryo artist or sculptor, as
its tastes dictates, and free to show the natu-
ral bias of its mind.
The question remains, What advantage is
all this to the child entering a common school
and never having seen a book ? Will not the
change from the delightful freedom of the
kindergarten infallibly disgust and dishearten
it, and will it not fall behind other children
'who have only received home training?
'A little while ago the answers to these
questions in America eould only be made by
assertion and probability. The present year
has furnished a very decisive " reply, OVCI'f
whelming, in favor of the kindergarten. '
-—Gala:ry for October.
Mr. Bristow has been soundly berated by
Kentucky Democrats for “turning against
his own section” in his speeches in Indiana.
How far he deserves it can be judged by
this extract from a recent speech : “I would
to heaven that there were no bloody shirts to
shake, but the Republican party means to
protect the people, and the South has yet
given no evidence that its borders are safe
from a. political opponent, and that there will
be no more bloody shirts. There will be no
occasion for any military force when the
Democracy see that they have no chance.
They will quiet down, and there will be no
bloody massacres at Hamburg or elsewhere.
It is this delusive hope of power that does
the mischief. They have excited this dan-
gerous hope by the nomination of a Seces-
sionist for President, and so long as they
entertain a hope of his election, so long will
the sectional animosity exist. If the Democ-
racy meant fair, why did they not nominate
a War Democrat? Because they depended
upon the united South; that is their boast.
We went South with our armies and left a
quarter of a million dead to dissuader a un-
ited South, and yet, in eleven short years,
under the banner of Democracy, the united
South expect to carry with the ballot what
they lost by the bullet. The united South
means terrible consequences to our social
peace. We met the united South with arms;
let us now meet the united South with the
ballot. I have no bad feeling toward them
but the mischief must be crushed by crush:

The whole democratic platform reminds me
of an illustration once used by a California
friend of mine; Have yen-ever been to one
of those magic show performances where the~
conjuror out of one bottle will pour every
variety of drink? For instance, he will say,
“Ladies and gentlemen, I shall be happy to
"give you ‘a drink of sherry, of cllam-.
pangc, of tea, of coffee, of milk, of ice water,
of anything out of this bottle.” A lady will
spep up and say, “I shouldli-ke to have a cup
of tea." He will say, “Sweetened, ,miss l”

Jury in session ;
Woe to them that rise up early in the
morning, that they may follow strong
drink; that continue till night, till wine in-
flame them ! Woe unto them that are migh-
ty to drink wine, and men of strength to
mingle strong drink. Woe to the crown of
pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim—they
have erred through wine, and through strong
drink are out of the way ; the priest andthe
prophet have erred through strong drink,
they are swallowed up of ' wine, they are out
of the way through strong drink ; they err
in vision, they stumble in judgment. Come
ye, say they,;an_d we will fetch wine, and we
will fill ourselves with strong drink. Be not
among wine-drinkers, among riotous esters
of flesh, for the drunkard and the prodigal
shall lie-impoverished. Wine is a mocker,
strongrdrink is raging ; and whosoever is de-
ceived thereby is not wise. It is not for
kings to drink wine, nor for- princes strong
drink; lest they drink'and forget ‘ the law.
‘Woe' to them that areat ease in Zion, that
drink wine in bowels. AWake'ye drunkards,
811d weep, and bowl, all ye drinkers of wine,
1because of the new wine. Woe to him that
"igi'vethhis neighbor drink, that puttest thy
bottle to him, and makest him drunken also.
The above are the most marked passages in
the Old Testament concerning the intcmper-
ate use of wine. '
The Cost of Drink.
Dr. Hargreaves states, in “Our Wasted
Resources,” that the annual cost of intOxica-
ting drinks in the United States, (estima-
ted by Dr. Young at $600,000,000) would in
ten years amount to the total war expenses of
the loyal Statesand the national government
during the late rebellion. He says further =
' Our drink bill in thirteen and a half years
would amount 1203111018 than the aggregate
war expenses of both the North and the
South. Every fifteen years we expend more
for strong drinks than the value of all the
prdperty wasted and destroyed during the
five years of the war. And every, year it
costs our people over one million ' of dollars
more for'strong‘ drinks than, the expenses,
during the war, of all 'the States, counties,
citie's,'and towns in the Northern States not
represented by funded debt.
The democrats have had an almost unbro-
ken streak of bad luck since the St. Louis
convention. There was, first, Tilden’s mis-
take in making concessions to Hendricks,and
in not holding the House of Representatives
firmly to the resumption act, to which he
was unmistakably committed. Then it is dis-
covered that both he and Hendricks have too
much record. The party is put upon the de-
fensive, and it is engaged in apologizing and
explaining. The ultra-reactionary element
is (filming to the front also, especially in the
s‘outl'i,and this creates uneasiness. Altogeth-
er, the' prospects of success, so bright in
June, look unpromisingly dull in September.

In 1812' he began the study of medicine,
and was subsequently for several years resi-
dent physician'of the New 'York almshousc.
During 1831 he engaged in a series of exper-

cbmpany was organized in New York, with
Dr. Howe as general agent, and in 1838 the
company removed the manufactory to Birm-
ingham, Conn, where it is now situated. A
number of improvements in the pin machine
were made by Dr. Howe, including the
mechanism of “making solid heads,” instead
'of the “spun heads” formerly in use. He
also invented the “rotary" machine, which
was patented in 1840, and is still in use
never having been surpassed in the quality
made in running it. Dr. Howe subsequent-
ly obtained patents for several improvements
in the machines by which pins are stuck on
the papers. He retired'from active business
nearly twenty years ago.
BLoon or Arenam.-“Without the
shedding of blood there is no remission.”
“The life is the blood," and when Christ
gave his life for the' world he stoned for
man’s guilt by his blood. It was not literal
blood that redeemed,but the life which bleed
represents. Our Lord did not die from bleed-
ing, nor from the physical agonies of the
cross, but fromthe burden of human guilt,
shame, and .misery He bore upon and in his
soul.‘ - His physical pangs were a faint ex-:
pression ,of the anguish of his heart. He'
came to put his heart under every sinner’s
loud of guilt, to bind himself to every indi
er, father, by stronger ties than any human-
relatiou can express. Do parents bear the
sins of their children, and suffer shame,"
sorrow, anguish on their , accounts? Far,
very far beyond such utmost fellowship, was
the Union of Christ to the lost, so that he
suffered for each one of them as no mother
ever greived over a prodigal boy. “He here
our sins in his own body on the tree," and
the body fainted, died, when the billows
rolled over his soul, covering him in the
night of hell, forcing the cry, “Why hast
thou forsaken me i’" It was that which kill-
ed him. The ofiicers wondered that he died
so soon, not knowing that a sword had
pierced his heart. But the Father knew;
the Redeemer knew. Infinite love, and in-
finite wrath met at that‘moment in his agony
"and he died. Thus his dying changes our
dying to living—Baptist Union.

ty:——A story told of one of these worthies is
good enough to stand on its own merit,though
it is also vouched for by a. leading lawyer of
this state. The old gentleman to whom I re-
fer had a favorite cat which had grown old in
his service, and against the killing of which
he entertained sentimental scruplcs. Several
times he had carried Grimalkin a considera-

had always found its way back. Finally one
day he confided to a party of friends that on
the morrow he would carry the cat on a dis-.
taut journey 'which he was to make, and as-
sure a permanent riddance. The next morn-
ing one of the party given to practical jokes
took passage on the old gentleman’s train, se-
cured the cat a hundred miles away, where it
was dropped, and immediately brought it
home. We may imagine the owner's amaze-
ment when returning home, a few hours af-
terward. he found puss purring him a we]-
come on his door step. It is averrcd that the
old gentleman made a mathematical calcula-
tion to show that the animal had traveled
home with half the speed of an express train,
and for several months dilated on its prowess
to his friends, until one of them took pity on
his credulity and let the cat out of the bag.

His GROUND ron Divonoa.—A Raleigh law-
yer was interviewed yesterday by 'an agricul-
turist living a score of miles from the city,
who said he wanted to secure a divorce from
his wife.
“ You don’t live happily with her, eh ?” in-
quired the attorney.
“No; we don’t seem to hitch wuth acent,"
was the quiet reply.
“Does she scold and fret, and make your
home a hell upon earth, so to speak ?" con-
tinued the lawyer. .
“That’s her, exactly.”
have a peaceful disposition and that you have
done everything you could to make home
pleasant ?”
“You bet I am! Anybody as knows me
would swear that I wouldn't hurt a flea, and
that I move aroundvhome like an angel."
"‘iWell, I guess we can make out 'a case, ’
said the lawyer, as he took up his pen and be-
gan‘lto jot down the points. After a moment
he inquired :
“Do you think your wife will contest the
case? Has she any defence?”
“-Waal, now, I never thought of that,"
slowly replied the farmer. “ I don't know as
she had anything to say about it.”
“She may have. Has she any grounds for
complaint against you i" - , -
“ 1 don't know much about law," answered
the client in a liesitating way. “ Iknow I’ve
got it hankering after her sister Mariar, and
her sister Mariar has a hankering after me,
but whether them is good grounds for com-
plaint I-dou't know."

Will get frOm his money no good.
The ant builds her house by her labor ;
The squirrel looks out for his mast;
And he who depends on his neighbor
Will never haVc friends, first or last.
In short ’tis no better than thieving,
Though thief is a hard name to call,
Good things to be always receiving,
. And never to give back at all.
And do not put off till to-inorrow
The thing that you ought to do now,”
Buh firstsct the share to your—furrow,
And then put your hand to the plow.
A Short Sermon.-
BY ALLIOE CARY.
Children who read my lay,
This much I have, to say :
Each day, and every day,
Do‘ what is right,—
Right things in great and small ;
Then, though the sky should fall,
Sun, moon, and stars, and all,
’ You shall have light.
This further would I say :
Be you tempted as you may,
Each day, and every day,
Speak whatzis true;—
Trnc things In great and small,
Tiicn, though the sky should fail;
Sun, moon, and stars; and fall,
Heaven would shew through.
