A WELCOME FALL. The Fall.! the Fall! the welcovn? Fall! Thy temper benign we worship all. Thy sweltering sire’s scorching reign Is past, and wo are cool again. Season bland of foliage gay ! When woods put on their bright array, When Earth iter products yield the while, And languid faces learn to smile. Then man targets the heat and toil Summer inflicts—his bliss to spoil, j Blest Kindliest of tiie year, Without thee wretched, sad, and drear Would man’s lot be—ins fearful doom Two winters in sight—and worse to come. Tnen let ns be glad—each token and sign Of weatherly influence all combine . To whisper that the proud season of ••Fall” Is at baud, to comfort us one and all. - < A WORD WITH MOTHERS. I - rETK.It PAULEY. Maternal influence is acknowledged by legislators, philosphers, and divines, to be one of the principal causes which gives character to nations as well as to individuals. This truth, so generally allowed through history and experience, ought, l’ctor Farley thinks, to bo suffi cient to induce all who value the inter ests of society or themselves, to inquire how this influence can be made the most of, and if there are not ways and means to be made available to render a mother the first and bo3t agent in education. The relation in which the mother stands to her child is such, that it re quires on her part all that intelligence can command, all that self-discipline can accomplish, to enable her to fulfill the important office witli which site is invested by nature. Tito introduction of a thing of helplessness to a sphere of | activity—the dcvolopement of the un ! folded germ of human existence, and the sentient principle, and. above sj 11, j the fitting of the immortal part for the i performance of its duties here, and for , an eternal hereafter; this mighty work I devolves upon the mother, j To render the mother equal to the sor rows, the trials, the anxieties, a:i-l the cares incumbonf upon the maternal ■ state, nature, or ru' h.-r the divine Au thor of nature, lias implanttd in the mother's breast a love for iter offspring 1 dearer then life itself; but this holy, : this bountiful affection, requires ;•> be ! supported by the highest intelligence, j and to be regulated by tiie most com prehensive knowle ige. The mother ’ inn ff reflect that t!m instinctive affection | she feels for iter offspring, site shares in | common with what, arc called the lower ■ animals; but tYn thinking love, which i will alone enable her t o perform her du ty to iter child, is the result, of experi ence a id is dependent upon the reason ing powers. The a ffection shown to a child, which has no,, jin basis upon reason, is liable to bring tiie child to shame, and the parent to sorrow; and hence wo frequently observe, in every grade of society, that tiie maternal love is not returned by filial affection, an 1 that disobe lienee an l slight is shown where the deepest veneration ought t> dwell, llow often does tiie fou l moth er exclaim to her petted darling, “Ave, you will not love me, when you grow a man;” a prophecy suggested by every day examples of disobedience, which are too fearfully realized. Why is this? Simply because it in the fashion to lot education take its course. Bbcanse it is the fashion not to study human nature? because the mother knows little of a child's mental an mor al economy, and thinks it t(/ > much trouble to inquire. In the earliest peri o Is, how often is tiie child the victim of his own self-will? how often the pla gue of a whole household, the cause of content ion between parents, of anx ious days and sleepless night? As tho I sun of life arrives, it comas not as a hor- I aid of joy, it brings forth no buds of promise.no blossom of hope, but stands "all in a hot and copper nicy."—scorch ing rather than illuminating, ami blight ing rather than developing. The mot her must, reflect that educa tion. in its true sense, is not a more me chanical task, a set of patent processes, an accumulation of profound dogmas, or a multiplication of cut and dried rules. Nor does it consistiu a series of admo nitions and corrections, of rewards and punishments, of imprecations and di rections, strung together witiiout unity of purpose or dignity of execution, but should present an unbroken chain of measures originating in the same princi ples—in a knowledge of tho constant laws qf our nature, practiced in the same spirit, a spirit of benevolence and firm ness, and tending to tho same end—tiie elevation of man’s moral nature, not on ly above the sensual but even over the intellectual. To tins every mother stands pledged, and the great bond, tho mind of her child, is drawn out ready for her to sign. Tims the mother's great, endeavor must be to build up humanity ; the pas sions, appetites, intellectual power, mental energy, come alike under her at tention in this work. It is for iter to strip the grosser husk from passion, and to develop tho gem? of enthusiasm, which lies concealed within it, to pur poses of good ; not so much to repress the appetite, as to fix its impulses upon pure apd wholesome food, with a view to its imbibing principles of conduct, to imbue the intellect witli the morality of pure sympathy, and to turn those mighty manifestations of mind, which seem to rebound from the solid earth as in contempt jf it, into the deep chan nels ot humility, that they may run like gentle rivulet-: to fertilize and keep green tho otiie; wise sterile and sere des ert of human e dSteuce.— Fen and Pane. A CENSUS TAKERS EXPERI ENCE IN ELMIRA. I had just received my appointment and started outdo begin my labors as a ‘Census-taker' .New to too business, and having been forevvarno 1 of coining troubles in the way of rebuffs from sen sitive ladies, s: ipid folks and others, 1 ■ iia 1 determine A- begin in such a way las to win -id 1- mi'hose 1 was ...pprov.cn. it.*re is an account, ot tie first call in my district in Chemung icounty; My folio blanks and pencil were all , in good shape, an l after having rung a J door bell, 1 calmly awaited an answer i to my call. An oi l lady cautiously op.qi -led the door. ‘Madam,’l said, and have | called for the census-’ ‘Yes,’ she re- I plied calmly, with a look that tol l she I had failed to realize the force of my statement. I repealed tho words—" M adam. I have called for tiie census.’ A stare of surprise and re-a-ljti-h meat, of her spectacles prefaced the reply. -Yes, what did you say?’ Again l .said, and i with perhaps too much empha sis, •The census—the census, you know.’ ‘1 know, do l— :to, l don’t, ! guess you’re crazy, ain’t you? Who be you?’ Thereupon, she grasped the door knob and barricading with iter well-de veloped form tho portals of her home, showed me at a glance her mastery of tho situation, should matters demand an exhibition of her powers. Thau quoth she : • Now ,’vi ter. 1 don’t know who von be, nor wiuit you want; but ifyou’ve leftyour s-nses anywhere, we bain’t got ’cun, an 1 don’t want ’em— and you’d better go along.’ Tiie words were nothing to me —bat the derisive smile that lighted. lu*r g;v> 1 old face an noyed me. But intent on bn uness 1 opene ! my folio a, i 1 prepared to ask tlm appoini.e 1 qu -siio.i. ‘M.i i.iat,’ i a-ke l, •are you the l.vlv of the hou-ii’’ •>>:!, ho! you’re a pedlar, are? Oh. I sea—but we don’t want any thing to-day.’ •Ala lam,’ i rejoined, you don’t. tt:i lor • stand me. I am after tho census.’ ; A confused and anxious look again ; settled upon her face ; but with an -af -1 ort site sati: •Four ft How? you are crazy, ain’t you —:na las a M ihave—.ut?'. 1 gu- ss you won't hurt any bo ly—-bn;—i—..visit j—but it.isn't got your senses—to now do go along, won’t you?'

A look of earnestness cmm upon her, as ; sim nervpu sly r.vdio !, ffioolness gra cious me ! how you do stick !’ and put ting her he ill).- timl tn i half-shut door, she scream • 1 wb-b a voice that would , have honored a railway engine : vilar— rit!

The neigliborho > l was arouse i. ; Mon, women ait 1 ciiii Iren cam >. ; crowding around the steps an 1 filled the • sidewalks about. At this point, the scene bee.rue ex citing.

J ust then appeared on the stairs with in, ‘liarrit,’with her baby in liar arm;, screaming louder than anybn ly else. •What, mother, what is it?—oh, d-ar— oh, dear—-oh—ii-ii!' and and iwn she sunk in a swoon at the font of tlm stairs, while I her lusty baby’s screams wore worthy of a first-class Indian massacre, impress ed with a sense of the absurdity of the scene, I. unfortunately Imre burst into a shout of uueoutroliablo laughter. Only iny laugh was nee led to bring tho row to a climax. I laughed, women scream ed, boys .shouted. There was a g-:n :r --nl running to an 1 fro. an 1 over till t.!u confusion, the voice of the old in ly rung out like a calliope, in a madness of fright. 1 n the midst of it all, i wa; seiz ed b} r half a dozen men, and just then up came a policeman who recognized me us a neighbor, and knowing my business rescued me and gave me a chance to ex plain to my captors and the crowd. In In moment, the tumult of alarm was changed to a scene of laughter that al- I most rivalled the opening of the fra vt •„ j lVaoerly Eiderjiriee. Once upon a time a French Goner al on duty at Turin started witli his j wife to a court ball. Tue lady had I just thrown off her outer cloak when I she was taken ill.

Mush was due also to constitutional languor and indolence which needed fo be broken up by soma stirring, revolu tionizing influence. In spite of these, however, there wore a few golden oa'- croppings that serve 1 to show the wealth of the mworkel mine.
