MV life is like thr summer rose, Flint open* to the morning sky, But ere the shades of evening close, Is scattered on the ground to die: Yet on that rose’s humble bed The sweetest dews ol Night are shed, As il she wept such waste to see ; But none shall weep a tear for me. Mv life is like the ftatumn leaf, riiat trembles in the moon's pale ray ; Its hold is frail—its state is brief, Restless and soon to pass nwny : Yet, ere that leaf shall bill und fade, The parent tree shall mourn its shade— The winds bewail the leafless tree ; But none shall breutbe u sigh for me.

Truth him! Error. BY RICHARD HENRY WILD It. There is a tuneful river In Erin’s isle, When the sumbeams quiver In n silvery smile: W here the leaves that fnll ’Neath the autumn sky, Glow gem-like all, And never die— And such is the stream hy Truth enlightened, That leaves th** breast by Wisdom brightened, Where even the joys tliut storms dissever, Are turned to gems that forever, There is a darkling tide In the Indian clime, By whose herbless side There’s a sulnh'ry slime— To the flow’r tlint touches A scorching wave— To the bird that approaches A weltering grave. And such are the waters of bitterness, rising, In the desert heart of dark disguising: And the hints of joy, and the flower* of feeling Must perish wher’er that tide is stealing. MISCELLANY. The Discontented Pendulum. Alt old clock that had stood lor fifty years in a litrnter’s kitchen without giving its owner any cause of complaint, early one summer’s morning, before the family was stirring, sud denly sto|i]ted. Upon tilts the dial-plate (if we may credit thu fable) changed countenance with alarm; the hands made u vain cfllirt to continue their course; the wheels remained motionless with (apprise the weights hung aH if dead; each member felt disposed to lay the blame on the others. At length the dial in stituted a luitual inquiry as to tlie cause of the stagnation, when hands, wheels, weights, with one voice protested their innocence. But now a faint tick was heard below front tlie pendulum, who thus spoke: ‘■l confess myself to be the sole cause of the present stoppage; and l am willing, tor the general satisfaction, to assign my reasons.— I’he troth is that 1 am tired of ticking.” Upon hearing shis the old clock b came so enraged that it was on the very point of strik ing. -Lazy wire!” exclaimed the dial-plate, holding up its hands. Very good !” replied tlie pendulum ; “it is vastly easy lor you. Mistress Dial, who have always, as every body knows, set yourself up above me—it is vastly easy lor you, 1 say, to accuse other people of laziness!—you. who have had nothing to do all the days of your life but to stare people in the face, and to amuse yourself with watching all (hat goes on iu the kitchen—think, 1 beseech you, how vou would like to be shut up for life in this dark closet, and to wag backward and ami forward, year after year, as 1 do.” “ As to that.” said the dial, “is there not a window in your house on purixtse for you to look through ?” “ For ull thut,” resumed the pendulum. ‘ it is very dark here; nnd although there is a window. 1 dare not slop even liir an instant, to look out ut it. Ueeiden I am really tireil ol my way of life; and. i’ll tell you how I took tliis disgust at my employment. 1 happened this morning to be calculating how many times I should have to tick in the course of only the next twenty-four hours ; perhaps some of you above there can give me the exact sum.” The miunte-hand being quick nt figures, presently replied, ‘ Eighty six thousand tour hundred times.” “Exactly so,” replied the pendulum; “well, 1 appeal tn you all. if the very thought of this was not enough to fatigue one; ami wheal began to multiply the stroke of one day by those of months and years really ilia no won der if I felt discouraged at the prospect; so, alter a great deal of reasoning ami hesitation, thinks 1 to myself I'll stop.” The dial could scarcely keep its counte nance during this harangue; hut resuming its gravity, thus replied, “Dear Mr. Pendu lum, I am really astonished that such a ttaelul industrious person ns yourself should have been overcome by this sudden action. It is true you have done u great deal of work in your rime ;so have we u!l, and are likely to do; which, although it may fatigue us tu lAinA- of, the quest toil is whether it will fatigue us torso. Would you do me the favor to give about ball’ udogen strokes to illustrate my ar gument 7” The pendulum complied, and ticked six times in its usual pare. *• Now,” resumed the dial,“mayl he allow ed to inquire if'tlmt exertion was at all fatigu ing or disagreeable to you ?” “Not the least.” replied the pendulum, “it is not of six strokes thut 1 complain, nor of sixty, but of million,.” “ Very good.” replied the dial; “but recol lect that. though you may think of a million of strokes in mi instant, yon are required to execute hut one ; and that, however often you limy heraller have to awing, a moment will ulwuys he given you to swing in.” “T hut consideration stagger* me, l confess,” said tile pendulum. “ Then 1 hope,” resumed the dial-plutc, “we shall all immediately return to our duty, for the maids will he in bed if we stand idling thus.” Upon this the weights, who had never been ttccuasd of light conduct, used all their nitlu ence in urging hint to proceed; when, as with one consent, tile wheels began to turn, the hands began to move, the pendulum began to awing, a,nl toi tacredit ticked as loutl as ever, while a red beam of the rising sun that streamed through a hole in the kitchen shin ing full upon the dial plate, it brightened up its if nothing had been the mutter. When the liiruter came down to breakfast that morning, upon looking at the clock, he declaring that lus watch had gained half tut hour in llie night. Lazy people til ways stifl'cr more in thinking about labor than if they were to go courageous ly to work utul perlorm it.

Anticipated Action of Congress. \Vc clip the. following paragraph from the national Intelligencer, ns indicative of the acp liou of the majority of the next Congrc They are in answer to the question—"OW tr ill ('tin c ress do ?” ‘•We cannot answer for Congress, nor in deed for that portion of the two Houses with whom we most generally accord. Wo. have said, aa we believe, however, that they will not stop the supplies iu order to stop the war. II a majority oi both Houses are of opinion that it is time to put an end to the war, we do not doubt that a way will be found, in which the President himself will l*c glad to co-ope r.ite to accomplish that object. If a majoiily hall he of u different way of thinking, then of course they would not-top the supplies in or der to stop the war. By supplies, it is per haps proper to explain, (on account of a diffe rent construction we have seen put upon the phrase ac used by us.) we mean such provision of ways and means as is necessary to execute existing laws, and fulfil all contracts which have been made under them. ” fhough we cannot answer for Congress, not even tor the Whigs in the two Houses, whirl they will do, we feel entire confidence •hat if it he no sooner ended, the war will not lie suffered to continue lor the further acquisi tin of Mexican territory. That much, we think, we ettn promise for Congress.” Cotton. Georgia Sea Island cotton is of a dull but ter tint, the filament being some three times longer then that of the Indian cotton wool.— The fibres are cylindrico-spiral, and hence the ease with which they are spun into cotton thread. Georgia Upland cotton is good for coarse yarns. The Staple is short, light and leehle. it was called lor a long time “ Bowed cotton,” from the fact that it was separated lrom the seed hy tlie blows of u bow-string. Tennessee cotton is of nearly the same qual ity us the Georgia Upland, except that it is cleaner and the staple a little longer. New Orleans cotton is superior to the last two named kinds, nnd may he said to occupy a mi Idle point between Sea Island and Geor gia Upland. Pernambuco cotton has a fine long staple, clean and uniform, nnd yarns made from it are in great request among tlie cotton weav ers. Deuisrara, Berenice, and Maranham cot tons are tine and glossy, and welt cleaned.— They are spun into a lair stout yarn. Bahia cotton is better than either of the two kinds last named. •Surinam cotton has a long staple, and t* faintly tinged with yellow. It is clean and much sought alter by hosiers. West India cotton is lrom Bourbon seed ; the staple is fine and silky, but not well pre pared. Barbadoes cotton has a short staple, but is silky and strong. It appears in tlie market with much husk. —American I'armer. The Medicine we Take. Next to good food should bo good medicine—hut.ac rording to the New York Journal of Medicate, we, m this latter respect, nre in a very had way. The Nev. York College of Pharmacy have found it necessary to is-iw ”a caution to druggists,” wanting them to beware of die slufls iu the market, to touch not, taste not, iisu d!” not. A quantity of Itose compositions, under the name of blue pills, they tell us, is now in market, being .nported by German and French importers, who know nothing of medicines except to buy cheaply and sell dearly. Rhubarb, invoiced from ten to eighteen pence per pound, is ground over nnd sold for genuine Turkey rhubarb, worth five shillings. Tlie Compound Extract of Colocynth, which hns been imported into this mar ket for the last year, does not contain a particle of C’ol ocjmth, but ismnde up of an interior sort oi Aloes, with some oilier worthless ingredients. A gn at proportion of the Compound Extracts are adulterated iulike man ner. More than half of the narcotics are destitute i any active properties. Volatile oils are adulteralcj wah sweet and other cheap oils. In fact, it seems that when an individual is supposing that he is taking sonic simple substance of peculiar properties, he is taking half a dozcu substnnecs of properuea of just tlie oppo site character.

It will be seen by the fotlowihg, from the Provuiopee Juurnal , that the Directors of the Stooington Railroad have put on the roml a “watering machine,’’ the pur- o sea and advantages of which arc fully described : “On the Stonington Railroad they carry a sprinkler, ’for the purpose of watering the track and road bed, therebydi tuiii riling the friction of the cars upon the track, pre venting the boxes and journals from being heated, by keeping awuy the dust, preserving the paint and Yam s'll by not having to clean the cars so often, relievir, the passengers from great annoyance, and taking from the biYakne-n a large share of their labor at the through nations.
