HARVEST HYMN.
BY Jims. L. 11. SIGOURNEY.
GoJ of tho year!—with sougs of praise,
Ami hearts of lore, we come to bless
Thy bounteous hand, for th’ U hast shed
Thy manna o’er our wilderness ;
In early spring-time tlrou did’st fling
O'er earth its robe of blossoming—
And its sweet treasures day by day
Koso quickening in thy blessed ray.
And now they whiten hill and vale
And hung from ever vine and tree,
Whose pensile branches bending low
Seem bowed in thankfulness to thee, —
The earth witli all its purple isles,
Is answering to thy general smiles,
And gales ’f pitrfunie breathe along,
And lift to thee their voiceless song.
God of the seasons ! Thou hast blest
The laud with sunlight and with showers,
And plenty o'er its bosom smiles,
To crown tho sweet autumnal hours ;
Praise, praise to Thee 1 Our hearts expand
To view those blessings of thy hand,
And on tho incense-breath of love
Go off to their bright home above.
ORNAMENTAL GARDENING.
There is nothing looked forward to
ith more pleasure than the time when
we can retire from the hustle and cares of
business, from the noise and din of crowd
ed thoroughfares, to some sequestered a
bode of our own, and improve and embel
lish as fancy or fashion may dictate. All
are striving for the same goal—the lawyer,
the doctor, the merchant and the mechanic
All hope to be able to retire in elegant lei
sure, and to spend the wane of life sur
rounded by all that is beautiful in Art and
in Nature. Alas, how many are disap
pointed, and go down to their graves with
out the accomplishment of their darling
p'ans. having eschewed all ornament
through their business lives, living in sim
ple austerity, barely cultivating the com
i: vegetables, and leaving all the
b: rlit and beautiful creatures of God, fora
grand display in green old age, which they
shall never be permitted to realize ! How
much wiser the course to pursue, to begin
with our start in life, and enjoy the beauti
ful with the useful. It is not essential that |
grounds should be extensive for ornament
al purposes—let every one plant and orna
ment according to his means. The jour
neymen mechanic when he returns home
from his daily toil, and beholds his potted
plants blooming in the window casement,
or on the mantle, feels a thrill of pleasure
as great as does the Duke Devonshire,
when he walks through his superb conser
vatories. It is pleasing to observe the
growing taste for ornamental gardening in
this vicinity. The yards and gardens in
and near Columbus, will Lear com par:-or.
with much older sections. Ma - are de
terred from ornamentinz. by v> -h -g •

All roots to be separated should be taken
up in October and pirate : out immediately,

al groutiK.ch vegetable mould, and
wood arti<- are ihe special manures that
trees, (.hints and bullies, most delight in.
The delicate bloom of many plants is injur- .
ed by the application of heating manures.
All vines and creepers should be trimmed
and arrang’ 1 in the winter months, so as
not to disturb them in the spring, when the
blossom buds ere shooting, l.et the orna
mental gardener combine judgment with
good taste, and not crowd his grounds too
much. All trees,plants andshrubs ; should be
planted with a strict regard to their future
growth, and the spaces allotted to them
should not be crammed with a heteroge
neous mass, merely because the tree will
not expand its branches or burst into bloom
the fust year. A moderate share of taste
and patience combined, will in a few years
make a desert bloom; all professional men,
farmers, merchants and mechanics, may
have aruuml them note, the beauties and
pleasure which they may never enjoy if
they wait for their coffers to be filled with
gold. Blend the beautiful with the useful,
light up your prison looking rooms, ye
crusty old bachelors, with a potted (lower!
Nurse its tender shoots, and watch the
opening buds. Your heart will expand,
and new floods of love be opened, and you
will soon be seeking one of those peerless
flowers originally planted in Eden, which
shall make your joyless rooms smile as the
morning sun. —Columbus Democrat.
THE SEASONS.
There are natural seasons, and there are
spiritual seasons. By a happy system of
complement these do not coincide, but tend
to the reverse effect Thus the beginning
I of Winter ii our social spring; Christmas
and December, with their blaze of friend
ships and family joys, are our social mid
summer: and outward merry May is the
social autumn, when warm atlections begin
’ to fade and die down, and town scatters it
self into the country. By June our hearts
are positively chilly, and in sweltering
July we are so cold that happily it is diffi
: cult to collect half a dozen people together
in a room for any mutual purpose; and
we are in fact Antipodes. This is a
very beautiful ordinance; that here also
we should behold this law of contrasted
! degrees; this house of many mansions;
that one floor of seasons .should he piled
upon another; that the greatest heat of the
world should relieve the coolest dews of j
the soul; that frost and barrenness should
be as the glittering wall that sends us back ;
in color the heart's most cheerful fires.— J.
G. Wilkinson.
MAN’S MISSION.
Human lives arc silent teaching—
Be they earnest, mild and true, —
Noble deeds are noblest preaching
From the consecrated Few,
Poet priests t anthems singing,
Hero-sword on corslet ringing,
When Truth's banner is unfurled ;
Vouthful preachers, genius-gifted.
Pouring forth their souls uplifted,
Till their preaching stirs the world.
Each must work as God has given,
Hero hand or puet-soul—
Work is duty while we live in
This weird world olsiu and dole.
Gentle spirits, lowly knocling.
Lift their white hands up appealing
To the Throne of Heaven’s King—
Stronger natures, culminating,
In great actions incarnating
What another cau but sing.
Pure and meek-eyed an angel.
We must strive—must agonize;
We must preach the saint's evangel
Ere we claim the saintly prize—
Work for all—for work is holy—
We fulfil our mission s 1 1 y
When, like Heaven's arch above,
Blend our sols in one emblazon,
,A.nd the social diapason
bounds the perfect chord of love.
Life is combat, life is striving.
Such our destiny below—
* Like a scythed chariot driving
Through an onward pressing foe.
Deepest sorrow, scorn and trial,
Will but teach us self-deoial;
Like the Alchymists of old.
Pass the ore through cleansing fire
If our spirits would aspire
To be God's refined gold.
We are struggling in the Morning
With the spirit of the Night,
But we trample on it scorning—
Lo ! the eastern sky is bright.
We must watch. The Day is breaking;
Soon, like Memnon’s statue waking
With the sunrise into sound,
We shall raise our voice to Heaven,
Chant .a hymn t#r conquest given,
.■'eize the paiin nor heed the wound.
We must bend oar thought to earnest,
Would we strike the Idols down ;
With the purpose of the ternest,
Take the Cross, aud leav.- the Crown.
Sufferings human life can hallow,
Sufferings lead to God's Valhalla —
Meekly bear, but hnmhiy try,
Like a man with soft tears flowing,
Like a god with conquest glowing,
rio to love, and work, and die!

DOING A VERMONTER.
BY THE OLD ’UN.
Simon Speedwell had grown up to the
age of manhood, a long, tall, red cheeked,
robust specimen of humanity, without ever
having quitted the hollow of the Green
Mountains, where his happy home was
nestled. The giant harriers that hemmed
him in, had hitherto proved as effectual a
bar against all vagabond propensities, as if
lie had been a prisoner of state in Ihe dun-
I geon of Vincennes.
But restlessness came with twenty-one
| and freedom, and the tales of cronies who
had visited the country town, and of trav
| oiled stage-drivers who had been several
| leagues to the southward, and told of re
gions where the “hills were of no account,”
and the folks had never heard of drag
-1 chains, filled the mind of Simon with envy
and ambition.
One day he announced to his afflicted pa
rents that he was “larmined to go deown
to Boating, to see the big houses and the
floatin’ ships and the Boston Museum and
Oak Hall, and all the other curiosities.”
The railroad enchanted him. When the
cars were running at their maximum speed,
Simon was in a frenzy of delight, and
amused his fellow-passengers by calling
out —“That’s you, driver! put the string
onto ’em! Let her went! Bile up for’ard 1
Let her hev anoth peck ! A short life and
merry one.”
i After wandering about all day, he final
ly put up at the Hanover House, where his
verdancy became the subject of remark
among the dry jokers who used that hos-
I telrie. It was about the time that the chol
| era made its appearance, and Simon heard
j exaggerated accounts of the fatality of the
disease, and the danger of eating almost
1 every article of food. This was dismal
IDDOIMIDID8 8 RUT? ©&a!tfff§ o
news to him, for he had the appetit-* of a
Calmuck Tartar, and the digestion of Joe
Miller’s ostrich, that “fedon gravel-stones
and ten-penny nails, and never was sick
j but once, and that was when he eat some
j plaguy green cowcumbers.”
lie dreamed all night of the AsiaticChol
-1 era, that he was collapsed to the flatness ol
ja flounder, turned as blue as a whetstone,
and suffered like a criminal upon the rack,
lie awoke in misery. He groaned in spir
it, as he dressed himself and went down to |
the breakfast room.
He found there a grave-looking gentle
man in black, with whom he had formed a
| slight acquaintance on the preceding even
ing, and who, having finished his meal, j
was seated at the table, quietly consulting
a morning paper.
“ Any case of cholera since yesterday v ’
he asked.
“It is,” replied the grave gentleman,
- ; reading from the paper, apparently, “with
the greatest pain that we inform onr read
ers that the cholera lias broken out all over
the city. We are afraid before to-morrow
night the town will be depopulated. The
hospitals are already overflowing, and the
physicians are dying from exhaustion.
! Seven of our printers, who had been in
i dulging in cucumbers and baked pears, fell
i from the case this morning, in a state of
collapse. ‘ r hc authorities of the neighbor-;
i ing towns have drawn a cordon round the ;
1 city, and all egress is strictly interdicted. !
j We shall publish a second edition, consist
: ing of a double sheet printed entirely in ;
minion, and consisting entirely of the j
names of the deceased, at half-past 11 this
j morning. Our customers may he sure of |
being supplied at our counter, as we have
! made arrangements to supply the places of
our clerks as fast as they expire.”
“Thunder ! that ere’s worse than Sodom
and Gomorrah !” cried Simon. “ All! why, j
why, why in the name of creation didn't 1
stay to hum !”
“Ah! why?” echoed the gentleman in ‘
black.
j “ Wall, I'll eat my breakfast, anyhow,”
said Simon. “Waiter! coffee!”
“Don’t, sir,” said the gentleman in black; j
; •• I beg you !”
“Why not?”
“Cholera ”
“ Well—tea. then ?”
“ Cholera.”
“Milk ?”
“ Collapse.”
-Well, pass me the beef-steak.”
“I dare not.”
“The bread.”
- The atmosphere causes the fermenta- j
tion of every vegetable and animal sub- j
stance. You see I don’t eat or drink any- !
thing—least of all here,” lie added in vvhis- j
per. “ Harkee, the landlord's brother is a \
j doctor.”
Simon pushed hack his chair in conster- j
| nation. !
“What must 1 dol”
“Go to your room and fast. Wait till
the scourge abates. Keep up your cour
age. and above all, obey tny injunction.
Simon faltered to his room, and flinging
himself on his bed, blubbered like a child.
The hours passed on heavily. His bowels
yearned for some nutriment or other, but
ihe simple youth dared not listen to their
clamor. He heard the dinner gong, and
the consequent shuffle of feet and bustle in
the house, with feelings of despair.
“The pesky pison landlord!” he ex
claimed. “Confounded cholera hotel! Oh,
if I was only out of this !”
An hour passed on. He could stand it
no longer, but sprang from the bed. “Any
how,’ said he, “ i aint a going’ to die so
easy. Jest as well to have the cholera, as
die of starvation.”
With this he went down stairs, and
found the servants taking the dishes offthe
table.
“Put those things deown right off!” he
cried, in a tone of command, as he flung
himself into a chair with an air of stem j
and desperate resolve. “A dollar a day]
andnovittles! Pass along the beefsteak
and potatoes--and hurry up the cowcum
bers and summer squash. Shove along
that watermillion, and the little blue pears
an’ apples, and be a little spryer than link
lightnin’, if you don’t want to know what
kind of boots I wear.”
With these words he went to work, and
made a meal that was a meal.
“ Now gim’ me some icet water to top off
with,” said he; and after drinking about a
quart lie culled for his bill, and ordered an
undertaker.
As lie went went into the sitting-room,
he encounteied the gentleman in black.
“My dear sir,” said the latter, “ I've been
looking for you. There's a chance of es
cape. The Lowell Railroad runs a special
train at six this afternoon, in spite of all
the town authorities upon the line. Here’s
a ticket—price six dollars—-but you won’t
mind the expense.”
Simon thanked him warmly, and forked
over the money. That evening saw him
; Hying from the cholera upon the wings of
steam, and the next morning hewassafeat
home again.
He was not long in discovering that he
hail been egregiouslv “sold,” but he kept
it entirely to himself, gave very glowing
accounts of his trip to Boston, and said
“he'd had a fust-rate time—ev’ry hodv’d
treated liiirr well,’ ceptin’ one. But if a sar
tin sockdollager in a suit of black ever
came up to the Green Mountains, if lie
didn't spile his pictur, then there wan’t no
trees in Killington !”—Olive Branch.
“Trespass.— As described in Legal Phra
seology.— ‘ Bless me, Mr. Pounce, wliat is
this? (reads,‘For that, whereas the said
John Snooks, on the tenth day of May,
with force and arms, broke and entered a
certain dwelling house of the plaintiffs,
and made a great noise and disturbance for
a long time, to wit: for the space of twen
ty-four hours—”
“That, sir, is the declaration in tres
pass.”
“But the man only knocked; he didn’t
make any disturbance at the door for
twenty-four hours.”
“A mere formal allegation, sir, not neces
sary to be proved.’’
“But he didn’t ‘brake in divers, to wit :
twenty doors.’ There were not twenty
doors in the house—he didn't break any.” (
“ Pooh, sir, don’t you see it is laid un
der a rule/tut
“Laid under a what?”
i “A videliat-j that means you mustn’t
prove the allegation if it is immaterial but
if it is material, you must.”
“But what’s the. use of it, then ?”
“The rise of it, my dear sir! But you ;

“ And what may that be?”
“Why words that raise doubts, swell

Ml&zzlLA il'Y,
SPANISH WOMEN.
Spanish women are justly famed for
their graceful carriage. It is the very po
etry of motion; but whence acquired, see
ing that to walk is for them such a rari
ty, was to me an unsolved riddle until 1
\ analyzed the process. It is not simply a
progressive movement, butthe harmonious
i play of feature, the coquettish undulation
of the face, the exquisite disposition of
j costume, and modulation of the voice, rich,
! liquid and sweet as a nightingale’s, that
engage the beholdev, and lend a charm to
the majestic grace of every attitude and
every step. It is the unstudied air and
careless “abandon” which distinguish the
Spanish woman, either in repose or on foot.
She cannot charm like the sprightly French
woman. She does not please ami satisfy
like a whole-souled English girl: but
with the soft fire of her dark eyes, and her
impassioned yet tender beauty, she can
quickly touch the heart. It is not then
her queenly step that alone constitutes her
the most graceful of her sex; but a un
ion, a concert between the eyes, lips,
hands and feet to produce a single effect
by the intermingling'of various lovely ele
ments. When she would bring a lover to 1
her feet, not a fold in her dress, or a bud
in her raven hair, but has a part in weav
ing the spell for him. If it is an obdurate j
heart, the two most potent weapons in j
love's artillery she possesses,—her eyes |
and her fan, —are brought to hear, and it
is all over with the swain in a moment!
In her hands the fan seems instinct with
life—a paradoxical thing, cooling with its
grateful breath the maiden's flushed cheek,
and kindling the spark of love into a flame
at the same moment! It is in league with
her eyes. A battery of well-directed glan
* cos flashing from above its delicate tips,
and the silkwi rustle with which it un
ceasingly plays in her hands, forms an
“idioma dc amor,” eloquent enough with
out the aid of audible language.— H. Bond
Tappan.
DO NOT DESPISE SMALL THINGS.
The possibility of a great change being
introduced by very slight beginnings, may
be illustrated by a tale which Lockman
tells of a vizier, who having offended his
master, was condemmed to perpetual cap
tivity in a lofty tower. At n-ght his wife
came to weep below his window. “Cease
your grief,” said the sage ; “go home for
the present and return hither when you
have procured a live beetle, together with
a little ghee (or buffalo’s butter,) three
clews, one of the finest silk, another of
stout pack thread, another of whip cord;
finally a stout coil of rope.”
When she came again to the foot
of the tower, provided according to her
husband’s commands —he directed her
to touch the head of the insect with
a little of the ghee, to tie one end of the
silk thread around Him, and to place the
reptile on the wall of the tower. Seduced
by the smell of the butter, which he con
ceived to be in store somewhere above him
the beetle continued to ascend till he
reached the top and thus put the vizier in
possession of the end of the thread, and
drew up the packthread by means of the
silk, the small cord by means of the pack
thread, and by means of the cord a stout
rope, capable of sustaining his weight, and
so at last escaped from the place of his du
resse. —Scientific Am.
NAPOLEON’S PROPHECY.
“ Before fifty years,” said Napoleon to
Las Casas, one day, at St. Helena, “ Eu
rope will be republican or Cossack.
“Then, if my son is alive, he will be
called to the French throne, amidst the ac
clamations of the people. If he is dead.
France will become a republic again; for
no hand would dare grasp a sceptre which
it could not wield.
“The branch of Orleans, though agreea
ble, is too weak ; it clings too much to the
Bourbons, and it will have the same fate,
if it does not prefer living as simple citi
zens, whatever changes arrive.
“ Once again France will be a republic,
and other countries will follow her exam
ple. Germans, Prussians, Poles, Italians,
Danes, Swedes and Russians will join her
in a crusade in favor of liberty. They will
arm against their sovereigns, who will has
ten to make them concessions, in order to
retain a part of their ancient authorities;
they will call themselves constitutional
kings, possessing limited powers.—Thus
the feudal system will receive its death- :
blow j like the ocean mist, it will vanish
before the tirst ray of the sun of liberty.
“But things will not rest there. The j
wheel of revolution will not stop at that ‘
point—its impetuosity will increase five !
fold, and its rapidity in proportion. When
a nation recovers part of its rights, it be
comes enthusiastic from victory, and hav-j
ing tasted the sweets of liberty, becomes ;
| more enterprising, in order to obtain more.
The States of Europe will he perhaps for I
| some years in a continual state of agitation !
like the ground the moment of an earth
quake; but at last the lava breaks forth, |
and an explosion ends all.
“ The bankruptcy of England will be the ■
lava which will shake the world, devour
kings and aristocracies, and cement by its j
outbreak the interests of democrats. Be- j
lieve me, Las Casas, as the vines planted j
in the ashes which cover the feet of Etna
and Vesuvious yield delicious wines, so the
tree of liberty will become immovable when
it has its roots in revolutionary lava which
will overflow all the monarchies. May it
flourish forever! These sentiments may
perhaps appear strange to you, but they are
mine.
“ I was a republican, but destiny and
the opposition of Europe made me an Em
peror.”
Something for the Ladies. E. B.
Bishop, esq. of our city, has just shown us,
the leaves and the flowers of a vine, par
taking of the nature of the Cypress and the
Morning Glory. A year ago, the seed of
the Morning Glory and Cypress were plan
ted together so as to entwine each other.
This year, three vines came up, and pro
duced, each, a different leaf and flower:
the Morning Glory has a natural shaped
leaf, with a deep, orange colored flower,
small and round shaped ; the Cvpress pro
ducing leaves and flowers perfectly natur
al ; and the amalgamation produces leaves
as large as the Morning Glory, with half
their size, divided out in small sprangles
like the Cypress, producing a flower of
beautiful Vermillion red, and half way be
tween the other two in size. This curious
amalgamation will doubtless be interesting
to Horticulturists.
Poetical Legislation. It has been re
solved by the Mayor and City Council of
Baltimore:
That every man who sells a melon,
Shall be held and deemed a felon ;
And the pigs of every size,
Most evacuate their styes ;
Aral officers must have ir. charge,
To catch them all if found at large,
And lest this wise precaution fails,
The owners must not soap their tails.
Victoria in Ireland. The London
Punch lias an engraving of the “Morning
Call” an admirable hit. Queen Victoria,
as Britannia, accompanied by the little sail
or Prince of Wales, with wide trowsers
and tarpaulin, is just making a call upon
poor Hibernia, who, ragged and sorrowful
and interesting, sits leaning on her harp
while a miserable half-starved urchin is ga
zing enviously at the little prince. Hibernia
says:
“Sure sisther dear, its not what you've
been accustomed to exactly, but anyhow
you're welcome.”
“ She Bears.” The principal of an
academy, in an advertisement, mentioned
his female assistant, and the “ reputation
for teaching which she bears but the
printer, carelessfellow, left out the “which,”
so the advertisement went forth, commend
ing the lady's reputation for “ teaching she
bears.’ 1
tFuT’ A ship going over Charleston bar,
with a negro pilot on board, the captain

“ Eh, massa,” says Sambo, “ you tink
