POETRY. hqme affections. I’ve gazed on many a lovely sceno, Os sunny skits and vales of green, And mountain heights shblime, But far more lovely, far more fair, Is happy home wilh loved ones there- That’s lovelier, divine ! Morning may clothe in golden ray, And gushing fountains sweetly play, And nature smiling fair - I’d rather have a wish in heart For “bora - affections,” they impart Pure joys that’s found but there. Swee', happy home where love entwines Her sweet heart’s ease uiid cares of thine, And dwells with the forever. Sweeter that skies of brightest hue, Are hearis ibat love us fond md true, That nought but death can sever, AUTUMN. There is a story <n the earth to-day, There is a spirit in the ohanging trees. There is a soft low murmur in my heart, And on the breeze. Sweet Autumn sheds a gontle influence now, The whole is clad in beauty and in light, The sunshine shimmers softly through the trees And all is bright- Some spirit has made love to every flower That breathes its life out on the pissing breeze: Some magic band has thrown a witching garb Upon the trees For all the blossoms blush—they seem rare gems From the bright land of dreams. In earthward flight, Some Seraph’s wing has swept the trees and left Gleams of Its light Above us bend the silent cloudless sky, And o’er its depths a lone bird wings it-flight, Seen for one moment, then like gilded hope, It fades from sight The spirit of the wind has struck his harp, But altered is the music of the lay, The notes are wailing .r. I the burden is, ‘ Passing away !” We love to linger out. The deep blue sky, Sooms m remow than when th« summer’s here, The rustling leaves a me ting murmur cast Upon the ear. Yes there is music in the fallen leaves, They breathe the soirit of the mighty Past They wake a chord in each heart as they sigh, “Bright days fly fast.” From the Cam Jen Journal. Intemperance Overcome Mr. Editor' —Permit me to say a few words more on this subject as an addendum to my last article, published in your jour* nal. It is well known that many men ad dicted to habits of ebriety are aware of its evil consequences, or at least are suscepti ble of convicMon, but they labor under the depr ssing and overwnelming impree-ion that any hope of escape from its meshes is simply impossible. Drugged and enslaved 6 o frequently, it is feared and believed they can never be free from its influence again. It is to rebut this, that we are induced to speak a secend time on this melancholy to pic; and lor the comlort and benefit oi those so painfullv and injuriously impress* ed, let us affirm that there is no habit, how ever inveterate, that cannot be resigned.— That great difficulty will be experienced and strong determination have to be exer cised, we do not deny; but it can be done, a:d the proof is, it has been done. ?oraa men who were most enchained by this ser vile habit, are now entirely free from it, and have again become respectable citizens Honored and admired for their majliucss and resolution. And here let us say wbat we beli'-ve is the feeling that moat prompts a poor uirfortunate being to abide in hismis' ery. it is a sensation of shame, coupled with the apprehension that he can n- ver he reinstated iu thgood opinion i „i-fa!low ineu. But ibis anxiety i- i»a* dou a false foundation for 1.0 man who.a opinion is woitb caring for, has ever yet wi hb -Id the | meed of praise due to one who has achiev ed so great a victory. Indeed, wit! every right»minded man, on the principle of the lost sheep as parahled in the Bible, there formed inebriate meets with a warmer and heartier welcome than before. Away then with this device of the devil, whose vice gerent is iutempcrauce, and remember that if it is a misfortune for a man to fall, it is an honor to arise again, especially when o tremendou- a struggle is involved. But some hesitate to essay reform from solicitude of failnre, or from discourage ment derived from a few ineffectual efforts Should a roan yield to one or t.vo failures, vbeb min U covering him more deeply each day I Are the effects —the trophies of perseverance unknown to such? Did j Bruce .yield his hopes of success, because ol failure’ No, indeed, but taking courage from a spider, which continued to mend his broken waft again any again, he. persevered and obtained success. Tbilisi an instance, we grant, callingtor more than common effort. For, like the Alpine traveler exhausted aud benumbed by cold, yet realising that superhuman 'yo ’ orgy almost is needed to rescue him Gom I the latal torpor that endangers his existence so must he who tarries among hiscups. I reading Belshazzar-like his sure destiny on j (he wall—sp l ing to his feet, read the bands i that bind h.in. and shatter iohever tUe pois joned chalice that presents to i bis lips. I Nor are innumerable insances wauling ■ apioug the living and the dead to illustrate the fact that restoration to sobriety '.B en tirely practicable • Who that has read th< ill, resting memoir of John V ine Hall, pa rent of Rev. Dr. Newman Hall, an EuglM divine, could longer doubt ol sjcccss in such cases? And he is only one of very many mor who have thrown off th-' shackles that have bound them and beem freemen again. Freemen, do we say! who can understand that word so well as he who having been once, tree, has be’orae ouslav ed? The philauthrop.st “so-called,” may ponder and weep over wrongs real aud im lagined, appertaining to Greek. Roman and American slavery. Like Niobe’s statue, their overflowing tears may indicate emo tion; and yet they shall fail in theii com* prehension of this word freemon-, but if yOa would know its f iltest meaning, go ask him who has felt its opposite, interrogate the man who hound hand and foots creeps like a crawling insect from mom till eve the minion slave of his cruel master Alco* hoi. Clothed iu a conscious garment of shame, he dares not lift his head with the rising lumintu- , and walk erect among his fchov'oun. Wfth a crushing weight on his bra n and a canker-worm ever gnawing wit m. d«;rmn> l ent and wretched, he cau for . your lull'sat'-sfactlon the teftti Slavery. Ah 1 here lies a true and wide field of real philanthropy—a fii fd which pseudo philanthropists have seldom meddled with, because unaccompanied with any of the material interests and rewards that usually incite them to labor Be it known, then, that there is hope ! nay. acertab ty ol rescue for every unfor ; tunate inebriate who will exercise the free j will and native manliness which God has I implanted iir every human breast. Let j him break off at once and entirely from his j former habits, aud avoid a return to them las he would a step over a terrific precipice. J For no reason, whether in sickness or I health, ever et another drop of ardent spi rits again enter his lips, and he is a saved man. rescued from the greatest peril that can ever overtake him on earth, at and it may be, from a late worse than earth can exhibc it. To those who may be hastening to the, sad condition we Have just depicted, we would, ere it is too late, lift our warning voice and admonish them to desist at once, If the camel’s buck was overloaded by a single straw, so on.» more indulgence may decide their future condition. This is a trite subject, concerning a long established evil and many who shall read our remarks, may ask cui bono ? or may eveu a.sort that they are written in vain. But Bhould every one operate ou this prin ciple of despondency is to long practiced evils, all society would soon become a sink of pollution requiring mor - than Hercule an labo nay, divine vengeance itself, to restore it to toleration again. We rejuic that there is an influence delegated to man which cau be exerted over hi fellowmen, and which is strong and powerful foi the accomplishment of good as well as for evil. And he who veutuies iu ho exercise Oj tha» power, from pure au disinterested motives, kiudl» to suggest or sternly to re. moustrate against au evil whose grasp is death, and its peualty worse than death, in dulges only in the noblest mstincts of a I’HILaNTHKOROS.

I don’t owe hur anything." •Well,’ said the child, ‘fatherspends all his money here for rum, aud we have no bread to day. Mother wants to buy a loaf of bread.’ A loafer suggested to the barkeeper to kick her oat. ! ‘No,’ said the barkeeper. ‘l’ll give her : mother the money, and if her fathor come* back I hern again, I’ll kick him out.’ i Humanity owes that barkeeper a vote of Kissing’.

We may shock the sensibilities of romance lovingTxtys and girls by relatingtthe man* ner iu which the dark-eyed aboriginal dam sel is espoused. There have been poems suttgs ou the heavenly beauties ot /’oca iiouias anti Hiawatha; but we have no t seen an Indian girl yet that we could compose an ode upon. The volup’uous form, olive features, ripe red lips, delicate feet, wells formed ankles, lustrous, humid eyes, wavy masres of raven hair, a queenly head, and swan-dike t’iroat. w© haye not seen. But we’have seen a matter of fact, practical, and a most unpeettcal Indian girl,handling most dexterously the axe, with coarse black eyes, nose inclined to be flat, her face of a dirty greasy color, a large mouth, mou« strous and flat feet, dwarfish legs, and not over-raodestly dressed, and sometimes cut tying a staring, round eyed, and grinning papoose, on winch she se-wd to scorn to lavish those little, loolish, maternal cn« th anneals, so natural and spontaneous to a mother's heart. When «n Indian wishes a squaw to attend his lodge, cook bis meals, and wait upon him, be does not launch into lyrica: etitbus'a m o( fervid expre'sions ol love, nor doe* he remember, in his wooing mood, to speak of the tinted sky or tho green fields about him. but amply the pro’ saic question, “How much is she worth ?’ The amount being ascertained, if he has the means, be lays it at the feet ol her lather, aud takes her to’ his lodge From that time she is his own, bought by his own mo* uey. ..Dd by his own baud.—American Paper.

About six years ago me and my husband moved to this place, and all the property we bad was a donkey. Husband he died and me and the beast were left, alone.

A Curious Love Story. Avery curious love story is told by several if t' e n orent writers respecting Egivard, a secretary to Cfiarleusange, and a daughter o f that emperor. The secretary fellfn love witj, the princess, who at length allowed him to visit bor. One winter’s night he stayed with her very late, end in the meantime a deep snow had fallen. If be left, his fi ot-marks would be obsorvo;’, and yet to stay would expose him to danger At length the princess resolved to car ry him on her ha k to a neigboring house, which *he did, It happened, however that from the window of h a b.d-ronsu tbe entperor saw the whole affair. In the assembly of his lords on tho follow i ing day when Egivard and bis daughter wer # presented, he ssked what ought to be done to the man who compelled the king’s daughter "to oarry him on her shoulders, through frost and snow, in the middle of a winter’s night 1 Tbe lovers were alarmed, but the emperor, address ing Esivard, said : ‘‘Had’st thou loved my daughter thou sboutdst have cotne to me : thou art worthy of death, but I give the two lives.-- Take thy fair porter in marriage, fear God and iove one another.” Father and Mother —When our pa rents die, it is a„ if the roof over our head were suddenly uncovered, for the wind of heaven to blow down upou us; as if the strong arm on which We have lean- and were snapped asunder, and we were roughly told to walk alone. Then, if our parents loved us as some parents can love, the mind that most thor oughly understood us, the heart that was most entirely wrapped up iu us. the soul that so often prayed for us, the face that we first learned to recognize, the voice we first learned to obey, the hand we first tried to grasp, tho knee that we first learned to climb, tbe cheek we first wished to kiss, are gone, and will never come back. We may be in our prime, and for years past may have been bearing tbe burden of other lives, yet tbe thought that our father and mother are really gout!, and*that we can no longer consult them in our difficulties, noroonfidu to them our secrets, nor share with them our love, raak -. the heart sad with a deep and abiding sadness, uuleas it has grown old in premature decay. A lady says the first time she was kissed she felt like a tub of roses swimming in ihonty, co!ogn« nutmegs, and cranberries. She felt also as if something was runuing through her nerves on feet of diamonds es corted by several little cupids in chariots drawn bya ngels, shaded by hoti 'V-stloties, aud the whole spread with meltid raiuhow, Printers devils are great ladies’ men, notwithstanding they have a very hard name. Some time ago one of tho.-i: hard-named follows and his lady-love were taking an evening stroll, and as they were walking along chatting briskly upon the mmorons topics of the day, she suddenly caught his hand and looking smilingly into his. face asked;’ - Do you know why I cannot get religion?’ ‘No, my dear, I do not.’ ‘lt is because I love the devil t( A friend informs ns of a fat blooming widow, who keeps a mil linery shop in the Third District, who has buried husbands, and is now about taking an eighth one to her ar dent bosom. Her first husband died in a foreign land. The second in 1849, in this city, tne third lived till 1852, the fourth died the following year the fifth in 1857; the sixth in 1858. the seventh lived until 180 4. Since this the widow has lived cold and lonely. Without a particle of envy we wish No 8 that is :o be much felicity and happiness.—N. 0. Picayune.
