The Autumn Blast.
BT A YOUNG LADY OF SIXTEEN.
Mourncth and sobbeth
The Autumn blast.
Riseth and falleth
As it sweeps past,
Ligheth and crieth
Round the old eaves
Until it dicth,
’Midst the deadleaves,
Dwelleth in sadness
Deep’neth in shade
All the impressions
Memory hath made—
And as the wild wind
Wailing rides by,
Clouds all dishevelled
Sweep o’er my sky.
Drippetli and falleth
Cold Autumn rain—
Oh! it reealleth
Moments of pain—
Moments of sadncs
Shrouded and dim
Fraught with love’s madness
Once more with him—
*******
Fire light gleametlr
Shadows now fall
Strange and fantastic
On the white wall
*******
Brown curls are lying
Off his cold brow,
Death, all thy horrors,
Where are they now ?
Fled with the beauty
And the sweet grace
That lovingly elingcth
Round his sweet face,
Gone—while an impress
Loving and mild
Rests on the features
Os the dear child—
*******
Father in Heaven,
Changeless and bright
Gone is our darling
Far from our sight
But our dear Saviour
Keeps him on high
Where the bright angel
Cling in the sky,
And when Thou callest,
Bidding us come,
We’ll meet our darling
In that bright home.
Praise Him ye Angels
Praise Him all men,
Praise Him forever
Amen and amen.
Cedar Glen, Jan. 22, 1857. IIELENE.
Instruction of Children.
The children onbur day receive far more
instruction, and that in more varied forms
than did our fathers when they were young.
It may be a question, however, whether
what has been gained in variety is an
equivalent for the loss in the depth and
permanency of impression, resulting from
the multiplicity of objects, crowded into
the mind. The aim in most of the forms
of instruction, secular and religious, is to
keep alive the interests of the child, so as
to render both teaching and learning easy
and pleasant. Hence the attention must
not be confined too long to any one thing.
As soon as a subject becomes somewhat
stale it must be changed for one that is
novel and fresh. Yet every one conver
sant with the laws of the human mind,
knows that durable impressions arc re
ceived only from objects or truths that
have been long held in contact with it.
Our pious forefathers used in the relig
ious instruction of their children few books;
many of them no others except the Bible,
Catechism and Hymn Book. But these
books were diligently, perseveringly used.
Large portions of the Scriptures, a consid
erable number of liymns, and the entire
Catechism were required to be committed
to memory with literal accuracy, and to be
repeated from week to week until they be
came incorporated, as far as any thing of
the kind could be, with the spontaneous
operations and memories of the mind in
subsequent years. Impressions so made
are ineffaceable. The range of informa
tion possessed by one so instructed may
not he so wide as that of one trained af
ter the modern style, but what is known
at all, is better known, and is more at com
mand when occasion shall call for its use.
We have recently enjoyed the privilege
of repeated conversations at the bedside
of a dying man, who, in childhood mid
youth, received the instructions of a pious
mother in Scotland. Many years have
elapsed since he left the place of his na
tivity, and lias been separated from the
privileges of early life. During the inter
val he has been a wanderer —a wanderer
over the trackless ocean, and a wanderer
from the Clod of his youth and of his
mother. Among the thousand objects
which have employed his thought, the in
structions received in liis childhood, relig
ion in any form, would appear to have
had the least prominence. Some four
months ago God laid the hand of disease
upon him, and brought him down, where
lie still lingers, but can linger only a few
days longer, to a bed of suffering and of
dying. And now are developed the fruits
of the instructions which, as good seech,
were sown in the youthful mind. In his
sickness and the prospect us death, his
thoughts have turned to the condition of
his soul; and those passages of Scripture,
hvmus, and lessons from the Catechism,
have all come hack to convict him of his
sins against God and his own soul, direct
his inquiring mind to the true source of
pardon, and inspire confidence in the mer
cy of God, and the sufficiency of the Re
deemer.
. They are food for meditation in his sol
itarv hours, his strength by day and his
songs in the night time, ho hear him, as
he pours them from an overflowing mem
ory, one would think they had been learn
ed hut on yesterday. Little thought that
humble, faithful mother, what treasures
she was laying up for her son—treasures
to he expended for liis physical comfort
and spiritual joy in distant years, and in a
remote part ot the earth treasures that
many years of folly and sin have not wres
ted from him. How much more valuable
such instructions, thus imbedded into the
mind, than instructions on a thousand dif
ferent subjects, of which, although all may
be good, none have left an abiding im
press !
Teach your children all the good things
you can, hut teach them some things, and
let them be the most important, thorough
ly ; so that they shall never be forgotten.
Give them something to fallback upon in
flie hour of distress. Let the great lead
ing doctrines of the gospel be so interwo
ven with the very frame-work of the
mind, that they shall not he dislodged,
whilst the mind itself shall last. With
God’s blessing you can do it. The moth
er of thisfirring, but now repentant son
did it. To her faithfulness he is under
God indebted for all the hopes that now
cheer his dying hours, and will he indebt
ed for the far more and exceeding weight
of glory, which we cannot doubt, will soon
be his inheritance. — So. Pres.
Southey on Duelling;
Lord Byron, as it is well known, was
much galied with some severe strictures
made by Southey on liis character and wri
tings, and announced his intention of de
manding the “ satisfaction of a gentleman. ”
For some reason the challenge was never
sent, but, in anticipation of it, the Laure
ate prepared the following reply, which
was found among liis papers :
“Sir: I have the honor of acknowledg
ing the receipt of your letter, and do my
self the pleasure of replying to it without
delay.
In affairs of this kind the partners ought
to meet upon equal terms. But to estab
lish equality between you and me, there
are three things which ought to be done ;
and then a fourth also becomes necessary
before I can meet you on the held.
First, You must marry and have four
children; please to he p; r icular in hav
ing them girls.
Second, You must prove that the great
er part of the provision you make for them
depends on your life, and you must be un
der bonds of four thousand pounds not to
he hanged, not to commit suicide, and not
to he killed in a duel—which are the con
ditions uiion which I have effected an in
surance on my own life for the benefit of
my wife and daughters.
Third, I must tell three distinct false
hoods concerning you upon the hustings,
or in some other no less public assembly;
and I shall neither he able to do this, nor
to meet you afterward in the manner in
which you propose, unless you can per
form the fourth thing—which is:
You must convert mo from the Chris
tian religion.
Till all this he accomplished, our dis
pute must be carried on without the use of
any more iron than is necessary for black
ing our ink, or mending our pens ; or any
more lead than enters the composition of
the Edinburg Review.
I have the honor to subscribe myself,
sir, yours, with all proper consideration,
ROBERT SOUTHEY.
A Good Anecdote.
During the inauguration of Gen. Taylor,
at Washington, D. 0., March 4th, 1849,
the police regulations, as usual, requir
ed that after the speech of the new Presi
dent had commenced, the gate of the Cap
itol grounds should he closed, and no car
riage of any kind allowed to pass, until
the speech was finished, to prevent confu
sion.
The minister of all the Russias, M. Bo
disco, was very late, and after the speech
had begun, drove up to the gate in great
haste, the horses covered with foam, when
the coachman shouted to the guard:—
“ Open ze gates, iv you please. ” The
guard shoolc liis head and stood still. —
The footman next called out, “ Will you
open ze gate for ze Russian Minister ?”
The Guard again shook his head, without
answering a word; next the grand Minis
ter put his head out of the carriage win
dow, and called to the guard. “ Open ze
gate to ze grand Minister of all ze Russias,
Minister Plenipotentiary, M. Bodisco, I
am ze Minister. ”
There was a great crowd around the
gates within aM without, and all the fuss
created quite a stir. The guard drew hiin
selt up, and in a firm and pleasant manner
replied: “If you were a free born Amei--
ican citizen of these United States of
America, you could not pass these gates
in a carriage. ”
The crowd came very near giving three
cheers for the guard, but better manners
prevailed; and M. Bodisco stepped out of
hk elegant equipage, and entered the side
gate with the sovereign people, his car
riage remaining outside until all the cere
monies were over.
The Atlantic Ocean Telegraph.
In considering this gigantic undertak
ing, we see that the mighty waters of the
St. Lawrence, swollen with the tributes,
of the great American lakes, have cut the
Island of New Foundland from the conti
nent. Therefore, it was necessary to lay
a submarine cable between it and the main
land, this has been accomplished, and the
telegraph across the St. Lawrence, a dis
tance of eighty-five miles, lias been laid,
and enables direct communication from
New York to St. John’s a distance of one
thousand seven hundred and eighty miles;
but then the wide ocean has only been
THE CHRISTIAN 11ST I) EX.
reached, and the problem must he solved
how is it to be crossed ? At first it was
contemplated that the lines should go to
Labrador, Greenland, Ireland, the Ferroe
Islands, and so to Europe, by successive
stages ; but to such a roundabout journey
there were insurmountable objections, in
to which we need not enter. Ice lias to be
specially guarded against, and grounds
where the anchors will catch in the line,
must be avoided, consequently very deep
water is a disideratuni—nineteen hundred
miles of ocean must be crossed, and, facil
ities for the undertaking exist, such as no
equal extent of the globe can parallel.—
The cable, to allow for the inequalities of
the ground, and other exigencies of the
case, will be three thousand miles long.
The wires will he isolated in gutta per
clia coatings ; and all the improvements
which science can afford will be applied,
to jfive durability, strength and efficacy to
the cable. To lay so enormous an amount
of coil, two ships will proceed to the ocean
each carrying half the line. They will
then separate and continue to lay out the
cable, until they have reached their res
pective destinations. The wire will ena
ble them during the entire process to tel
egraph each to the other at will, so that
their combined movement will be, as it
were, at the direction of one mind.
My Lost Friend.
Even while he was courting I kept my
hold on him. Against opposition on the
part of his bride and her family he stipu
lated bravely that I should be his best
man on the wedding day. The beautiful
woman grudged me my one small corner
in his heart, even at that time; but he was
true to me—he persisted, and I was the
first to shake hands with him when he
was a married man. I had no suspicion
then that I was to lose him from that mo
ment. I only discovered the truth when
I went to pay my first visit to the bride and
bridegroom at tlieir abode in the country.
I found a beautiful house, exquisitely
kept from top to bottom ; I found a hearty
welcome ; I found a good dinner and an
airy bedroom ; I found a pattern husband
and a pattern wife; tlie only thing I did
not find was my old friend. Something
stood up in clothes, shook hands with me
pressed wine on me, called me by my
Christian name and inquired what T was
doing in my profession. It was certainly
something that had a trick of looking like
my former comrade and brother; some
thing that nobody in my situation could
have complained of with the smallest rea
son ; something with all the brightness
of the old metal about it, but without the
sterling old ring, something, in short, which
made me take my chamber candlestick
early on the first night of my arrival, and
say good night while the beautiful woman
and pattern wife was present to keep her
eye on me.
Can I ever forget the language of that
eye on that occasion! the volumes it spoke
in one glance of cruel triumph! “No
more sacred secrets between you two,”
it said brightly. “When you trust him
now, you must trust me. You may sacri
fice yourself for your love of him over and
over again still, but he shall make no sa
i crilices now for you, until he has first
found out how they affect my convenience
and my pleasure. Your place in his heart
now is where I choose it to lie. 1 have
stormed the citadel, and I will bring
children by and by to keep the ramparts;
and you, the faithful old soldier of former
years—you have got your discharge, and
may sit and sun yourself as well as you
| can at the outer gates. You have been
I his truest friend, but he has another now,
, and need trouble you no longer, except in
| the capacity of witness of happiness. This
! you will observe, is in the order of nature,
; and the recognized fitness of things; and
he hopes you will see it—and so do l—
and he trusts you will sleep well under
his (add my) new roof —and so do I. And
he wishes you good night—and so do I!”
—Household Words.
Punch thus humorously defines
genders, without the aid of Lindley Mur
ray:
“The Sun is called masculine from his
supporting and sustaining the moon, and
in finding her the withal to shine away, as
she does of the night, and from his being
obliged to keep up a family of stars be
sides. The moon is feminine, because she
is constantly changing, just as a ship is
blown about by every wind. The Church
is feminine, because she is married to the
State. And time is masculine, because he
is trifled with by the ladies.”
Congress voted to Gen. Lafayette, at
different times, $236,000 and 35,000 acres
of land for his sacrifices in the revolutiona
ry war.
The Law of Newspapers.
1. Subscribers who do not give express notice to the
contrary, are considered as wishing to continue tlieir
subscription.
2. If subscribers order the discontinuance of their
newspapers, the publisher may continue to send them
until all arrearages are paid.
3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their
newspapers from the offices to which they are directed,
they are held responsible . until they have settled the
bills and ordered them discontinued.
4. If subscribers remove to other places without in
forming the publishers, and the newspapers ere sent to
the former direction, they are held responsible.
5. The Courts have decided that refusing to take
newspapers from the office, or removing and leaving
them uncalled for, is prima facie evidence of intentional’
fraud. .
6. The United States Courts have also repeatedly
decided that a Postmaster who neglects to perform Ids
duty of giving reasonable notice, as required by the
Tost Office Department, of the neglect of a person to
take from the office newspapers addressed to him, ren
ders the Postmaster liable to the publisher for the sub
scription price.

ly efforts to merit and enjoy a liberal patronage. We
believe that success, based upon merit, and upon merit
alone, is desirable. We shall therefore, in our public
or private addresses, make no sycophantic appeals to
personal feelings, or to sectarian prejudices, but relying
upon the honesty of our intentions, and the fidelity of
our labor, we challenge the sympathy of all men who
have the head and the heart to appreciate the responsi
