POETRY.
THE FALLEN LEAVES.
We stand among the fallen leaves,
Young children at our play,
And laugh to see the yellow things
Go rustling on their way;
Light merrily we hunt them down,
The Autumn winds and we,
Nor pause to gaze where snow-drifts lie,
Or sunbeams gild the tree.
With dancing feet we leap along
Where withered houghs are strown
The past nor future checks our song—
The present is our own.
We stand among the fallen leaves,
In youth’s enchanted spring
When hope (who wearies at the last)
First spreads her eagle wing.
We tread with steps of conscious strength
Beneath the leafless trees,
A nd the color kindles on our cheek
As blows the winter breeze;
While gazing toward the cold, gray sky,
Clouded with snow and ruin,
We wish the old year all past by,
And the young spring again.
We stand among the fallen leaves,
In manhood's haughty prime—
When first our pausing hearts begin
To love “the olden time;”
And, as we gaze, wo sigh to think
How many a year hath passed,
Since 'neath these cold and faded trees
Our footsteps wandered last;
And old companions—now, perchance,
Estranged, forgot, or dead—
Come round us, as those autumn leaves
Are crushed beneath our tread.
Wo stand among the fallen leaves
In our own autumn day—
An ! tottering on with feeble steps,
Pursue our cheerless way.
We look not hack—too long ago
Hath all we loved been lost;
Nor forward—for we may not live
To see our new hope crossed ;
But on we go —the sun’s faint beam
A feeble warmth imparts—
Childhood without its joy returns —
The present fills our heart.
Applause. —When I wns a boy, I
once went to the theater. The tragedy of
11 inilet was performed ; a play possess
ing some noble thoughts, and much subt
le morality. The audience listened with
admiration and with applause. 1 said to
myself, ‘-it must be a glorious thing to
obtain this empire over man’s intellects
an emotions.” But now an Italian moun
tebank anpeawl. on the stage—-a man of
extraordinary strength and slight of hand,
he performed a variety of juggling tricks,
and distorted his body into a thousand
surprising and unnatural positions. The
audience were transported beyond them
selves ; if they had felt delight in Hamlet,
they glowed with rapture at the mounte
bank. They had listened with attention
lo the lofty, though they were snatched
away from themselves by the marvel of
the strange posture. “Enough,” said 1
in correcting my former notion, ‘where
is tiie glory of gaining applause, or ru
ling men’s minds, when a greater enthu
siasm is excited by mere bodily agility
than was kindled hy the most wonderful
emanations of a transcendant genius.”—
I have never forgotten the impressions of
that evening.— Buhcer.
A Dead “Cut.”—A lady shopping in
Chesnut street, a few days ago, was fol
lowed for some distance by a couple of
the “nice young men,” who may he seen
at all fashionable hours, lounging about
that elegant thoroughfare, and staring all
modest females out of countenance. At
length one of these drones, imprudently
stepped up to her, and holding out his
hand, asked with a simper—“Permit me,
Miss, to carry your package.”
The lady paused an instant, until she
caught the attention of an approaching
party, and ihcu replied with an air of
mock simplicity —“ Arc you a licensed
porter, sir ? If not, sir, i would rather
not trust you with my package: it is val
uable.”
The chop-fallen beau needed not the
hearty roar of laughter which followed
from the bystanders, to quicken Ins steps
as he sneaked round ihe first corner and
disappeared. An actual occurrence.—

Nuts for Somebody. —ln the last
Albion, we find the following very pleas
ant paragraph,at least for Mr. Glasbrookc,
if he is living, or his heirs, if at peace
from all sublunary considerations:
“Should this meet the eye of .Mr. Wm.
R. Glasbrookc, who left England about
8 years ago, and settled somewhere in the
Western Territories—if lie will write to
his old family attorney, lie will hear of
something to his advantage; bis uncle
being dead 3 years tbe 4th of June last;
leaving him, the said W. K. G., £47,000
sterling, and tiie old paternal estate, Lin
coml>e Hall, 230 acres of freehold, all free
of every expense, payable to him on his
coining to age of 42, which is May 6th,
1842.
Something not rare but curious.
—Under this head the Portland Trans
cript gives these examples. To see a
gentleman who sports a splendid horse
and phaeton—whose house is furnished
like a palace—whose wife wears a S2OO
shawl, and a bonnet that costs .840—pro
less poverty', and refuse to pay a bill to
a poor washerwoman of seventy-five
cents!
To see a young man who has failed
in business and paid only ten cents on a
dollar to his creditors, riding to parties
night after night in a hired hack, wearing
sl2 broadcloth, drinking champaigne
daily, and smoking gold-tipped cigars
which cost nine-pence apiece.
Lovers must look out. At a late term
of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania,
it was decided that a conspiracy to assist
a female infant to escape from tier father’s 1
control, with a view to marry her against
his will, is indictable as a conspiracy at
•omm#n law.
Great Presence of Mind. — What
a valuable faculty it is to have presence
of mind under critical circumstances.-
The following interesting instance from
the N. Y. Herald is one among many in
which it has saved a human being from
a cruel death. Dr. , the “physician
in charge of the Lunatic Asylum, on
Blackwell’s Island, has been in the habit
of amusing himself daily in fishing for
bass and porgies in the Hurlgate. his crew
being generally composed of inmates of
the Asylum, who were so far recovered
as to be allowed the recreation of such
trips. A few days since he took with
him “Admiral Bill,” an old seaman, who
has been confined there many years, and
from tbe peculiar feature of his insanity
has been generally styled “Admiral,” un
til he now answers to no other appella
tion. Bill had tbe stroke oar, and being
of stalwart frame he urged the hontalong,
making his crew work with a will. The
doctor, who is of rather diminutive sta
ture, was seated quietly in the stern
sheets, with the filler ropes in his hands,
watching with much delight the motions
of Admiral Bill—when suddenly he ob
served him throw up his oar in a most
navy-like style, and lay it aboard, ’l’lie
next moment Bill stood before him and
seized him in his powerful grasp, lifting
him from the seat as if he had been an
infant. Holding him out over the side,
Bill demanded “grog, or I’ll throw von
to the fishes.” The men had rested on
their oars watching the issue, and the
current was carrying the boat towards
the “back.” Recovering his presence of
mind in an instant the doctor fixed bis
eye upon the maniac and saw the neces
sity for immediate action. “Bill,” said
he, “it wns great oversight not to have
brought tiie bottle along, but lay hold and
we’ll pull back and get it. It certainly
was a very great oversight.” Bill laid
him back in the sheets, took up bis oar
and in a few minutes the boat lay along
side the Asylum. Admiral Bill was re
turned to the cell, and the doctor has
taken care that he has never since pull
! ted the stroke oar.
Calumny—Station is a sort of pillo
ry, and a man who takes an office vol
untarily sets himself up as a mark, at
which every low-minded person can lev
el Ins abuse. There have lx*en no ex
ceptions to this; for it is impossible for
any man to escape censure, who stands
high enough for notice. Insignificance
is a better shield against calumny than
all the great and good qualities that were
ever found in the hum in breast.
'Phe fact is that in the generality of
cases, they who go into public life, should
have a cuticular relationship to the “arm
ed rhinoceros”—a hide, against which ri
ll'balls may be flattened, almost without
attracting the attention of the individual
at whom these leaden pellets are direct
ed, and a sensibility so obtuse that
the thrust of a lance may he mistaken for
the equivalent to a musquito bite. But
practice is a great thing in these mat
ters. By practice, Mithridates trained
himself to swallow poisons without se
rious inconvenience, and with practice,
the “hand of least employment,” loses its
“daintier sense,” and can almost handle
fire without feeling uncomfortably warm.
Notwithstanding the difference of idio
syncrasy, which makes a wound almost
fatal to one man, while it scarcely does
more than tickle another, it requires con
siderable practice, carried on by progress
ive lessons, to harden the human epider
tuiss into that true political callosity
which can blunt a broadsword and turn
the edge of a razor, and which, in fact,
if it feels at all, rather derives pleasure
than pain from the hardest of knocks.—
Never, until a man can smile with in
difference when his finest sensibilities
are rudely scraped by metaphysical sand
paper and moral oyster shells, need lie
regard himself as qualified for lofty sta
tion. The Indian composedly sings his
death song when tortured at the stake;
but the politician should be able to fiddle
when not only himself, but all his Rome
is burning.— Pennsylvanian.
Dead Letter Office.—The dead
letter office in the Post Office at Wash
ington, is a great curiosity. I) ‘ad letters
arc returned to the General Post Office
with the quarterly accounts from the
31,000 post offices which now exist.
The envelops are taken from the pack
ages hy one clerk, who ties a string round
the contents and casts them into a basket
—the clerk assorts them and compares
them with the post bills—sending the let
ters to the clerk to be opened—on open
ing, the letters containing no valuable
enclosure, arc thrown into a basket and
destroyed. Those containing valuable
enclosures are returned to the office
where they were mailed, and sent to the
owner if found. If not claimed, it is
placed into a separate fund, and the a
moiint recorded, so that it can he paid to
the owner at any' future period, if claim
ed. They open about 250,000 letters in
a quarter —there are now several cart
loads in the office unopened. The work
of opening and assorting them is very
tedious and laborious.
The ITero and P\ i imot. —The Pic
aynne, a neutral paper, makes the fol
lowing remarks upon the siliv hoax
which was lately put afloat of the death
of the venerated Jackson:
“ We should like to see the two stupid
scoundrels who invented and propogated
this heartless hoax get a sousing duck
ing in some green and stagnant pool, for
the river would be top pure an element
to receive their dirty carcases. When
that great and good man dies, the joint
mournings of millions will attest to the
world that he who loved his country
with the affection of a pure patriot, and
served her with the renown of a brave
soldier, is by his country beloved in re
ciprocalion as one of her most favorite
sons—as one who ranked among the
most patriotic of the pure and the brav
es! ©f the brave.”
Inscription on the Tomb of Na-i
poleon.- —The following record of e- I
vents in the life of the Emperor is to be
inscrilied on the socle of his tomb at the |
In va I ides:
“Born on the 15th of August 1769 ; i
captain of a squ idron of artillery at the I
siege of Toulon, in 1793, at the age of
24 ; commander of artillery, in Italy, in
1794, at 25; general in chief of the army
in Italy, in 1796, at 27 ; general in chief

the battle of Waterloo, June 18, 1815, at
46; died in exile at St. Helena, May 15,
1821, at 52.”
A Curiosity. —Capt. Joseph G. Jen
kins exhibited to us last week, one of the
few copper coins struck by the United
States mint during the Presidency of
Washington. On one side is the por
trait of Washington surrounded by the
words and figures—“ Washington Pres
ident, 1791.” On the reverse, tbe Amer
ican Eagle, eight stars and the words
“one cent.” An anecdote is connected
; with the emission of this coin, which
i portrays in living colors the high disin
terestedness of Washington, and the pain
lie always experienced when his name
was placed conspicuously before the
public. When a specimen of the coin
age was brought to him, and he perceiv
ed his own features stamped upon it, lie
immediately ordered the mill to be de
stroyed, and the few pieces already struck
to Ijc suppressed fiom circulation. The
face of “Liberty” was substituted, which
is still the device on all American coins.

Two curious philosophical facts are stated on the
authority of the foreman of the ropew Ik in the Na
vy Yard at Charlestown. One is, it you iieat tar,
such as they use for their cables, 100 degrees above
boiling heat, you may dip your hat.il in it witti the
greatest impunity, and tin y are in the constant habit
of doing so; the other is, the leather strajis coming
from the engine, and working the machinery are
lighly charged with electricity By standing upon a
noncondu ling body, and holdin_ tin lingeis over
the straps pretty close, you been nr charged with t ie
electric fluid, and can give out sparks as from the

Get rid of Ihe Jilts.— File flies are. more numerous

known thorn to be betbre. Yet there is a simple way
of getting rid of them. Half a spooii.ul of ground
black pepper, one tea spoonful of brown sugar, and
one table s;ioonful of cream, nixed well together, and
placed in a plate, will attract and destroy flies, with
out any danger of poisoning children.
Mathematical Demonstration. —The late eccentric

I DR. SPENCER’S
[VEGETABLE PILLS!
API BLi BLESSING.
| These Pills have long been known and appreciated,
■ for their extraordinary and immediate powers of re
storing perfect health to persons suffering under
nearly every kind of disease to which the human
frame is liable.
They aie particularly recommended to all those
persons who arc afflicted with any kind of Chronic or
Lingering Complaint, as* there is n<> medicine before
the public which has so natural and happy effect up
on the system in correcting the stomach ad liver,
i and to the formation of healthy chyle and thereby
! purifying the blood.
They are acknowledged by the hundreds and
1 thousands who are using them, to be not only die
most mild and pleasant m their operation, but the
most perlecily innocent, safe and efficient medicine
ever offered io the public. Those who once make a
trial ut these Pills, never a her ward feci willing to be
without them, aim call again and again for more ;
which is snffith ut proof of their good qualities.
IILADA CHE—SICK OH XER VOCS.
Those who have suffered ad are weary of suffer
ing with this distressing complaint, will fin I Spencer's
Vegetable Pills a remedy at once certain and immedi
ate m its effects. One single dose of the Pills taken
soon as the headache is felt coining on, will cure it
in one half hour entirely.
Asa remedy in Summer and Bowel Complaints,
they display their wonderful powers to admiration,
and are far superior to any thing in use lor these
complaints.
In Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint, they stand un
rivalled. Many have been cured in a few weeks,
after having suffered under the dreadful complaint
for years.
In Habitual Costiveness, they are decidedly supe
rior to any Vegetable Pill ever brought before the
public ; and one 25 cent box will establish their sur
prising viitues, and place them beyond the teach of
doubt in tbe estimation of every individual.
They are invaluable in nervous and hypochondria
cal affections, loss of appetite, and all complaints to
which females alone arc subject.
They are mild in their action, and convey almost
immediate conviction of their utility from the first
dose. They may be taken by persons of any age;
and the feeble, the infirm, the nervous and delicate
are strengthened by their operation, because they
clear the system of bad humors, quint nervous ins
tability, and invariably produce sound health.
Upwards of Three Hundred and Seventy Thou -
and Boxes of these inestimable Pills have been sold
within the last twelve months in three States alone,
and more than three times the same quantity in oth
er States.
As an Anti-Billions Medicine, no family should be
without them. A single trial of them is more satis
factory than a thousand certificates.

ring which lime i had taken, as well as I recollect,
about sixty boxes of Beckwith’s Pills, twelve boxes
of Peters’Pills, and a number of boxes ui Champion’s

little or no relief. At last, 1 was recommended to
try Dr. Spencer’s Vegetable Pills, and rrtil I did} for
had but one attack ol the Sick Headache af

months) and I candidly confess, iliat I have derived
more real benefit front the ti e of .Spencer’s Pills,
than from all the other Medicines and Pills dial 1
have ever taken, ami 1 would earnestly recommend
them to all, as being in my opinion, the best medi
cine in use for ail hugering complaints. The Pills
have done me so much good, that 1 would not feel
willing to be *nhout them for five dollars a box; and
1 cannot but feel very grateful to Dr. Spencer for
having prepared such a valuable medicine, and the
distribution of it is conferring a v ry great favor on
the public, as it is a thing of the utmost impoitante
that every family should have a supply of Dr. Spen- !

A PROCLAMATION.
To the Citizens af Georgia :
AN HERE AS, for several years past, the good Peo
ple of this State have been greatly, and very seri
omdy imposed upon in timae of suffering and sick
ness, hy being obliged to pay the enormous price or j
One Dollar and Fifty Cents for a Box of PILLS , or (
a Bottle of MIXTURE , to cure CHILLS AXD
FEVERS, and other distressing complaints ; Now, i
therefore, know ye, that an effectual means of relief j
have been discovered in DR. HULL'S VEGET
ABLE FEVER and AGUE, and ASTI-FEVER
PILLS; which are offered by the Proprietors and
their Agent* at the low' price of only One Dollar per
Box— from 25 to 50 per cent, cheaper than the majori- ,
ty of all other medicines for the cure of such com- j
plaints; and as to the comparative safety with which
they can be taken, together with the simplicity us
their componcnimparts (which arc entirely vegetable) ,
and the real value of Hull’s Pills, as adapted to the
wants of the community, there can be no longer the
least doubt of their great superiority over all oihe»
medicines, not only in their superior properties in
the safe and speedy cure of Chills and Fevers, but
also as a remedy in Fevers of every description.
It is particularly worthy of remark, that out of up
wards of Tweuty Thousand Boxes of these Pills sold
in Alabama alone, within die last twelve months, not
a single case has come to the knowledge of the pro
prietors, where they have failt and to cure the Chills
and Fevers, when they have been used according to
the directions accompanying them. And besides
these pills arc no 11 qnack medicine they are the
scientific preparation of ex peri -need medical men,
who, after having prepared this important recipe,
most positively declared that from all the discoveries
up to the present time, in medical science, they saw
noway by which they could possibly be improved, or
made in any way more effectual in the cure of those
complaints for which they are recommended : so that
the happy combination of the ingredients and their
! proportions arc such as to produce a medicine which
| never fails to relieve when relief is a: all attainable,
i Upwards of one thousand certificate s might here be
added, of important cures effected by this medicine ;
i but it is not necessary to publish them, as a single
' trial of the Pills is more satisfactory evidence than a
volume of printed testimonials. We would, howev
er, refer the reader to some eight or ten thousand
families in this Sta e, who it is thought have experi
enced their efficacy, and who would boar ample tes
timony of their unrivalled virtues.

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
SOUTHERN QUARTERLY REVIEW.
This work has now been a year before the public,
during- winch period its reputation lias been so suc
cessfully established, and its circulation so widely
extended, as to justify the hopj and belief that it w ill
long continue to be one of the principal organs of
.Southern IMitica Interests, and otic of the chief or
naments of Southern Literature. The brilliant
cha actor of the late Southern Review shed aruut.d
! Charleston and the South, a halo which will not soon
he forgotten ; the Southern Quarterly has risen, af
| ter many toilsome efforts, from its ashes, and it is
i misted iliac it will prove iiself a worthy successor of
the glory of the former. Nothing more is now rc
i quisite to ensure its permanence than the continued
j and cordial support of die inhabitants of the South
| cm portions of the Union; and an appeal is confi
dently made to the genemus and patriotic b dings
j of all Sotitln I tiers, nor to suffer the present Review
to languish fr m the w ant of that sustenance which
they can .«<• wed afford.
| In »s politic;*l charm ter this Review will he Dorn*

local i:• :!.e»r nattire, i* will sue: ttoU ly u; hold South •
ern l teres:*, and advocate all questions ot nano al
importance with boldness and freedom I: is not in
tended, however, absolutely to exclude all articles
maintaining principles different from our own; hut if
otherwise worthy of admission, they will he inserted
with a notice that the Editors do not hold themselves
responsible for the doctrines alleged. All religious
discussions of a sectarian nature will be arduously
eschew ed, and the Review will preserve a perfect
impartiality towards all religious denominations.
The work will be printed on the best paper, and
with die best type, and every exertion will he made
to render it worthy of the patronage of the public
generally. It wii! be issu- and quarterly from Charles
, ton, in January, April. July and October; and arrange
ments have been made, since its remobal to this city,
' to insure he regular and punctual delivery ofe\ery
; number :;s it appears, so that no disappointment may
j harcafter arise from any failure in this respect.
! Mr. Ritchie having withdrawn from the "wk, the
Su’iscrher, in o»der that more time and attention
niav he devoted to its improvement, and to the accu
racy and excellence of «-ach number, has associated
with himself in the Editorial management of the
I Review, that distinguished scholar, G. Frederick
Holmes, Esq. of Orangeburg, and every effort will
hr made on the part of both togive every satisfaction
to its patrons.
In consequence of the removal of tbe Southern
Review to Charleston, ami the reduction in the ex
penses of printing and publishing attendant thereon,
the price of the work w ill henceforward be reduced
from Ten Dollars to Five Dollars, payable annually
in advance. The fifth number, which will com
mence another vear, will appear early in January,
1543, for which abundant material have been already
procured. Many of the host writers and most pro
found scholars of the country have already pledged
themselves to furnish articles for the ensuing year,
and the list of contributor# is daily increasing in
talent, in respectability and in number.
