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.— —Saturday Courier. 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 of the expedition of Egypt, in 1798, at 29; first consul, in 1799, at 30; consul for life after the battle of Marengo, ill 1-00, at 31 ; Emperor of the French, in ; 1804, at 35; abdicated the throne after! 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. —Hudson Columbian. The assessed vain >nf real estate in the City of New York the present year is $164,950,514 85, shewing a decrease since Ihe assessment of 1812, of sll,- 561,827,15. The assessed value of per sonal estate this year is $63,016,575 73, shewing an increase in favor of the cur rent year, compared with the assessed value of personal property last year, of $2,752,016 73 The estimate of taxes for the city' and county of New York for the present year is $1,805,136 39. Somebody has said that the most fool ish thing in the world, is to how to the rich till you are unable to stand before an honest man. :■ | look upon a mans aUatcimirnt lon woman ‘von 10-mtu's it, as tin grrulrst possible safo atiitnl to him in ins healings with the world; it keeps itui nii it 11 those sin til tice.s wliieli nfetterr I youth i link- htllf of, hut which cerl nnlv, though slnwlv undermine the t'otindalions of hi tter things, till in the end the whole luliric of right and wrong gives way under the assault of temptation. What nature has made defective, it is the darkest sin to ridicule Yet multitudes ridicule those who were not creatcJ in so perfect a mould as themselves —not realizing at the time, that they cast contempt on that being whose image their fellow creatures sus tain. A person who tells you of the faults of others, in tends to tell others of your faults. Have a care how you listen. 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 electrifying machine. Get rid of Ihe Jilts.— File flies are. more numerous m I troublesome this season, than we have ever 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 mathematician, Professor Vince, of King's College, Cambridge, being once engaged in a conversation vvitli a gentleman who advocated duelling, is said to nave thrown his adversary comps tely hurs de com bat, by the ibiluwuig ute and characteristic reply to uis question : —‘ liut vvnal could you do, sir, if a man told you to your I'ice 'mu lie <’ ’ “\V nut cud do !

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.

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. CPU , I PIC A TPS.

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 ter 1 commenced taking the Palis, (now about six 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- ! cer’s truly valuable Pills constantly on hand.

To Dr. Spencer: Dear Sir—l have used your Veritable Piils in my amiiy the last year with great sui ess, and I consid er them the best Pill 1 ever used. I have made con siderable use of many other popular Pills, but I am convinced that yours are superior to any of them. For .Sick Headache, they are an excellent medicine. For Bowel Complaint, I think them the best medi- ! cine in the world, and also for die Bloody celux. I » can say to you that 1 made g!*ai use of them last season. I had twenty of my bla« ks sick with the Flux, and I administered your Piils freely, and 1 did not loose a single case. My neighbors speak in the highest terms of them.

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. l'or Sale by J. 11.
