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.

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.

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! f/nMirx So t'c/m. 7I1& 11 9 in D > TKW : - *V UL^k 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 ; don’t understand these things: they are vocabula arti.” “ And what may that be?” “Why words that raise doubts, swell costs, and enable the professional man to make the most of a very small case. 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 asked him, “ what water is the ship in “ Salt water, massa.” “ I know that, you black rascal, but how much water is there?” said the captain. “ Eh, massa,” says Sambo, “ you tink me bring tin-pot for measure um ?” AiJocrtisements.
