EY ELIZA COOK. The orb I like is not the one That dazzles with its lighting gleam, That dares to look upon the sun As though it challenged brighter beam. That orb may sparkle, flash and roll; Its fire may blaze, its shaft may fly : But not for me: I prize the soul That slumbers in a quiet eye. There's snmelhine in lis nlnrirl shade That tells of calm unwor'dly thought; How may be crowned or joy delayed? No dimness steals, no ray is caught: Its pensive language seems to say, I know that I must close and die;5' And death iiself; come when it may, Can hard y change the quiet eye. There's meaning in its steady glance, Of gentle blame, of praising love, That makes me tremble to advance A word that meaning might reprove. The haughty threat, lite fiery look, My spirit can proudly deiv: But never yet could meet and brook The upbraiding ofa quiet eye. There's firmness in its even light, fJ hat augurs ol a b-east sincere: And oh! take walch how you excite That firmness li'l it yield a tear. Some blossoms give us an easy s:gh, Some drops oi grief will freely start; But that which sears the quiet eye IJalh its deep fountain in the heart. SORROW. The flowers live by the teats that fall From Ihe sad faces of the skies: And liit? would have no joys at at all, Were there 110 watery eyes. Love thou thy sorrow; grief shall bring Its own excuse in a tier years;? The rainbow! see how fair a thing God hash built up from tears. THE IDOL OF THE HEART.

Jk IIV MIVIUUVIIVM V4MJ o ilH V VVIUV j The saddest of the year." Even to the dweller in the pent up city, there arc numerous and constantly occurring indications th;jt the glory of summer is past. The lightest touch of the wind brings down the green glories of the shade trees?falling and rustling upon the pavement to their own sad music, and speaking a lesson of wisdom to the heart and soul of those who have an eye and an car open to the voices of Nature. The shortening dnvs, tlu- ingnm, tne neijucnt ar.a,moaning winds, the leaves goldcn-hued and browned by the fingers of the Frost-King, the beseeching looks of the few faded flowers yet visible, seeming to say: "Love me well, 1 am tbe last of the sisterhood that you can love"?in every object around lis, we cau behold the dying Summer, and the near approach of desolating Winter.? Little by little the sky is losing its summer as pect, the air its breath of flame, while the mellow autumnal coloring, which sheds its 'joy of grief over all things, awakens those sweet but mournful associations which retkler Autumn the deaiest and the saddest of all the seasons. Poets iu all ages have delighted in the mellow picturesque of Autumn, and the feelings it so naturally inspires?from the days of blind old Hoiner, who sang of the race of man, like leaves on trees? "Kow green in youth, now rustling on the ground," to our own Amctican Bryant, who has moralized his song by the mournful fall of the withered leaf. Tennyson a>ks: * "And is there any moral shut Within the bosom of the rose?" And answers his question in a strain o( melody not less pleasing than instructive. The faded bud and ti e blighted blossom have their own peculiar lessons, and no one can doubt the moral which rustles along the ground with the dry end crispy leaves. There are "airy tongues" in tre<s, which if they do not "syllable men's names," preach the moral of their lives. Autumn has its pleasures and its advantages, as have the other seasons; and with many it is the favorite. Better than Spring with its winds, showers and varying caprices; better than Sum *!_ 1 ? J a. ? j ...K t luer, Willi lto iitj;u, uuh anu suury sun, Duller than Winter with its cold blasts and frozen fingers. Autumn has its mild skies, mellow fruitage, and its many-tinted forests. The sportmau's rifle is busy in the woods and in the still fields. There is much to make Autumn pleasant to those who dwell in the country; ana there are many, even in the populous city rent, who can appreciate the beauties of this golden season. Tosuch a walk in the old forest, with its winding paths, carpetted with unsoiled fallen leaves?crossing the 'branch' whose banks arc fresh and green beyond their time?gazing up into the manyhucd boughs and out upon the far away, dim defined horizon, forest and field and river, village, quiet cottage, and the city, whose busy hum, mellowed by distance, seems almost to be drumming in your ear?to such, a walk in an Autumn evening is greatly enjoyable. Arunc est ambulandum?now is the time for walking. And to the denizen of the city, the very privilege of walking is a thing to be thankful for. To the invalid, it is worth, in these Autumnal days, any quantity of small bottles from the Drug Store; and to the "writer chiel," who emerges from his sanctum with the smell of newspapers in his hair and a slight heaviness in his temples, the exercise, the fresh, bracing breeze, and the constant variety afforded by the ever-varying landscape, give him a fine thought of exhiliaration. The walk never fails to have a curious feeling of old times in it; and when he turns from it, he brings back an idea, a metaphor, or something of the kind, with which he may enrich his next goodnatured infliction upon his pensive readers, Washington as a mason. At the centennial celebration of the initiation of Washington in the Masonic Fraternity, at New York, the oration was delivered by Rev. Stephen II Tyng, D. D. It wasalongand elaborate eulogy on the character and services of Washington. Speaking of his initiation as a member of the fraternity of Masons, he said he wa3 just of age when he was admitted, and throughout lus subsequent career he maintained his outward typical connection with it, frequently visiting the lodges both in camp, and field, and city. As the Grand Master of the Masons of the United States, he laid the corner stone of the Capitol, in 1793. And he was buried with Masonic honors by the ' lodge of which he was the first Master, in i 799. ] In the very closing of his career, lie said to the! brethren in llhodc Island : " Jleing persuaded that a just application of the principles on which the Masonic fraternity is founded must be promotive of private virtue and public prosperity, 1 shall always be happy to advance the interests of the society, and be considered by them a deserving brother."' To the Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, he subsequently said : " Flattering as it may be to the human mind, and truly honorable as it is, to receive from our fellow citizens, testimonies of approbation for exertions to promote the public welfare, it is not less pleasing to know, that the milder virtues of the heart arc highly respected l>v a society, whose liberal principles must be founded in the immutable laws of truth and justice." The orator referred to an instance of the remarkable veneration in which Washington is held among the masonic fraternity in foreign lands. lie had seen an account of a celebration in Manchester, England, on the 16th of June, which was intended to commemorate the anniversary of his initiation into the order. There was a mistake, however, in the date, said Dr. Tyng, for the facts of that event are recorded in the Fredericksburgh Led ire of Virginia. He was there initiated as an apprentice on the 4th of November, 1732, a few months before lie attained his full age?of twenty-one. On the 3d of March, 1753, nine days after he was of age, he wa> advanced to the second degree of fellow craft, and on the 4th of August 1753, he was exalted to the full degree of a Master Mason. This is the indubitable record of his entrance ^till ef omliiur r\f ()in rvfilrtr A n/1 VOt T tind it declared in an English publication (The Free Mason's Quarterly Review, for July, 1834,) that he was initiated into masonry in a lodge in the 40th Regiment of the British army, under General Braddoek, during the -service of that regiment in America. It is asserted that the very copy of the Holy Scriptures, upon which his obligation was taken, l?elonging to the lodge, is MM if'lM VUV pvw^uwlt/ll VI U VOj'VMIt* Cllt officer of that regiment. Gen. Braddoek, under whom Washington had his first connection with the British army, did ? ??? tt:? on.u ,.t noi arrive ill ? ii^ium uuuiiui'^viaui i vi/i uai^ 1775?two years after Washington hatl heeoine a Mason. Nor was Washington introduced to the British officers until April, 1755. Nor had he any personal connection with any regiment of English troops till after that lime. Though it is very likely, there fore, that lie maintained liis Masonic connection with liioin in the subsequent! campaign; if there really was a military lodge in the army of General Braddock, it is not the fact tiiat lie was initiated into masonry by British officers. No. Washington's masonry was as truly American as the whole residue of his noble career. No foreign soldiers tauglit liirn its sublime principles; though they gave him ample scope to exercise and display them, in the many provocations of that early campaign, and in the long and faithful probation of his character, their bitter and varied hostilities in the subsequent revolutionary war. Of that army under Braddock. ho says, after their defeat: "The distardly behavior of regular troops (so called) exposed all others who were inclined to .to flioir rliitr to >ilmost eertnin death, and at last in despite of all the efforts of the officers to the contrary, tlicy ran ;is sheep pursued bv dogs, and it was impossible to rally them." Of his own position in the unfortunate battle of that day, lie says:?"By the all powerful dispensations of Providence, 1 have been protected beyond all human probability or expectation. I had four bullets through mv coat and two horses shot Tinder me, yet escaped, unhurt, although death was levelling my companions on every side of me."? And of him,then but 22 years old, tho Rev Samuel Davies said in a sermon delivered on the 17th of August, 1755, but a month after the battle, "As a remarkable instance of patriotic spirit and - ' T i ... nwtiary nruor. i mav poiiii cm iu mc jjuuuu that herioc youth, Col. Washington, whom I cannot but hope Providence has hitherto pre served in so signal a manner for some important service to his country." How wonderfully prophetic was this passage! We may now add in its actual accomplishments, important service not to his country only, but to the honor, dignity and happiness of the whole human race. After referring to the public acts and private virtues of Washington, the orator concluded by exhorting all Masons to follow his example. When Dr. Tyng concluded, he was honored with a grand salute, by the members of the order. Au ode entitled ,4 the Washington Commemoration Ode," words by John Brougham, was read, after which an excellent selection of airs was played by Dodworth's band. The closing hymn was then sung, and after prayer and benediction by the grand chaplain, the ceremonies of the centennial celebration of the initiation of Washington closed. The sound of your hammer, says Franklin, at five in the morning, or nine at night heard by a creditor, makes him easy six months longer, but if he sees you at the gaining table or hears your voice at the tavern when you should be at work, lie sends for his money next day. ng Incident. A correspondent of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, writing from Detroit, Michigan, under date of Oct-il> r 14, related the following: An Incident occurred on last Thursday afternoon, which filled the town with mueh excitement, and which called forth many a legend of the kind remembered by the oldest inhabitants. A few boys who had been out on a hunting excursion called at one of their neighbors' and l _i. . . -x _ i. a ..! _ l a. ut'gHii snouiiiitr at a iiiarK. nine gin auoui eight years old, who had formerly had ailness | that had affected her head, got alarmed at the firing and ran into the woods. In a short time she was missed, and it wasre' mombered that she had been seen running to' wards the woods, consequently a search began, but night mine on, and with it rain, which rendered further search for her that night impossible. Morning came, and yet the little wanderer had not returned. Its frantic parents, with one other child, made further search till the sun had passed the hour of twelve, and yet no tidings of the lost one were had. The neighborhood was alarmed, and dogs, horns, and every instrument of the rustic kind were marshalled for the search; but againt night, with its Egyptian horrors, set in, without restoring the little cherished one.? Minutes seemed hours with the distracted mother. At !""gth the long wished for morning came and with it a hundred men and boys, who, not it 1tc4ni./lCtt/v ctlll /w?iit tntirt/1 clnnn wont " j li|."u<wiuu im; null vuiHiuutu cbvnu, mvuv fortii into the depth of the wood?, in search of the child, with an eagerness that was commendable beyond the compass of words to express; and yet again night set in and still the lost was not found. What the agonies of the mother werb, as the marshalled force returned without her litr tie charge, tears, shrieks, groans, incoherent ejaculations, and a p'cture of despair, can only portray, words are inadequate. Another dreadful night was passed. An increased force was raised, who marshalled themselves with the dawn of the Sabbath, before the door of the bereaved parents. Prayers were offered to Almighty God, and the aid of heaven invoked, to direct in the IMtr* ivM.dii?>inoiMOi2 Ivaniiv nrraniY^/l o Innrt TCrtl CIl* iilU I'lciiuiumaiw vvan^ >vu^ lire was formed ujtou the section lines, and the march renewed. Hour after hour passed, and not a vestige of the missing was discovered. Every tree, slump and log, possessing a suspicious cavity, underwent the closest scrutiny; every bush and thicket thickly folliaged, every fir and cradle knoll, w*s visited as the band pressed onward. Long and ardent was the search, and many fears for the little one were entertained.? The sun had far passed the zenith, and hastening behind the western hill, when an elderly man and son, partly discouraged as well as wearied with the search were drawn, as by the jmniLof j r..vv, in rtt? opposite cirecfion far from the band; and while standing and discours- | ing upon the propriety of abandoning further search, a distant sound broke upon their ears.? They hastened in the direction from which the sound proceeded, and having travelled as far as practicable, they halted and listened a few minutes verv intentlv: a train that sound was heard, and turning a few steps in another direction, what was their surprise to behold the little object of their search sitting upon the ground, having just awakened and arisen from a bed of leaves, which it. had collected by the side of an old log. There the little innocent sat, in her tattered dress, sobs and sighs heaved her little bosom, and large tears rolled down her swollen cheeks. As she caught the first glimpse of her deliverers, she asked for something to eat. "Oh," said she, "I have been obliged to go to bed of nights without my supper; please to give me something to eat." They took up the little sufferer, and started for home, which was about four miles distant. While passing through a snarl of tall grass they asked the girl if she had passed through any such grass. "Oh yes," said she, "I have tra veiled a great way through much taller grass i r .J ..1.1 -,.ii r tlian tins, 211IU 1 WUUIU call lur ui> iuliici iu turns and got mo, but lie would not; I would call for my mothoi to conic and get me, but she would not; then I would call for my little brother, and he would not come after me. So T travelled on." On being asked if she slept warm of nights, said "Yes; but the first night my littlo brother went to bed with ine, and in the night he pulled of all the clothes, so I got cold." Arriving in sight of the house, the distracted mother rushed forth, her haggard countenance now irradiated with the gratitude of heaven for the deliverance of her * 1 1 ? a?w! nincoiiil tVlP lit tip cluiu; anu as sue ivtvncu ou? v..~ ........ wanderer to her breast, exclaimed, "My daughter is safe." The Surplus Revenue.?The Washington correspondent of the Charleston Courier says: "One of the first subjects to be presented to the attention of Congress is that of the disposition of the surplus revenue, which on the first of January, will it is supposed, amount to about twenty millions. There will be, of course many projects for diverting the snrylus from the legtiinatc of redeeming the public debt. But I presume that a majority of both Houses will agree ?/v n niMsurc annrowiatintr the greater portion of the surplus to that purpose. The President and the Secretary will no doubt, recommend it. No fortification bill was passed at the latesessioD, and Gen. Shields will bring up his fortification bill early in the session. Additional appropriations will be voted for rivers and harbors, and in fine, it is not lo be doubted that the appropria| tions of the outgoing Congress will be fifty roilI lions or over. We shall, in three weeks, have the estimates, which are being made up, and Congress will be more likely to add to than diminish them. Some law will be proposed that will ena' ble the Executive to use the available surplus in anticipating the payment ot' the public debt. This will be relief to the mercantile community, and prevont the accumulation of large amounts of gold in the government depositories." We sincerely hope that the members of the present Congress may resist any attempt to squander this immense surplus, or to use it for * any other .purpose than for necessary appro})nations, and for the reduction of the public debt. All experience proves that a heavy surplus i6the greatest curse that can be all this country, csjieeially upon the eve of an incoming administration. We hope, therefore, that appropriations may be made with great caution during the coming, and that the full responsibility m.iv . ~J ?"#v? 7 thrown upon the new administration, which is pledged to the strictest economy in the di.-burseinent of the public funds. If the whigs wish to . destroy their party in all time to comt, they cannot do so more effectually, than by voting extravagant appropriations during the approaching session.?Savannah Courier. Look Oct for a Swindler.?A man calling himself D. S. King, from Ohio, called at one of our hotels on Sunday last, just before the departure <?f the Southern Stage, driving a horse and buggy.

He stated that he had sold mules in the East of Nortn Carolina. He is considerable of a politician, a great friend to Pierce and King, and that he is cousin to W* R. King, the Vice President. It turns out since, that he had borrowed or hired the buggy at Wadesborough, to go to RockinghamF, and not returning at the time appointed, thd"owuerof the buggy and horse traced him to ttfiis place ; he left Wadesborough without paying his Hotel bill, and also some debts to the merchants there.

Influence of the Moon.?A Paris Astronomer has published the results of twenty years observations upon the influence of the moon upon the weather. From the new moon to the first quarter it rained (during the period of twenty yeais embraced in the calculations) 764 daya; from the first quarter to the full moon it rained 846; days ; from the full moon to the last quarter it ' rained 761 days; and from the last quarter to the New Moon it rained 696 days. So that during the moon's increase there were 1,609 days and during her decrease only 1,457?a difference of 152 clays. This difference is more likely to have been accidental than the result of any natural cause and the conclusion which we derive from the statement is that the moon has no influence upon the weather.

Correspondence of the Charleston Courier. . Wasuinoton, Nov. 14. The tone of most of the newspapers, in regard to the Cuban <^uestiou, is very moderate and guarded. But, it is generally considered, also, that, in regard to the case of the Cornelia and the Crescent City, the Cuban authorities took a harsh and irritating course, although they might have acted within the bounds of strict legal rights. The questions which have thus been made are not yet settled, and the position taken by this Administration in regard to them is as yet unknown. The delay is occasioned by the fact that the subject is a matter of negotiation i * ti r\ . witli me noine uovernmeuc. The Spanis Government will do well to adjust the matter in a manner ns little embarrassing to our commerce or irritating to the American people, as possible. If they insist upon the exclusion of merchant vessels from their ports, as well as persons suspected of dcsigus hostile to the Government of the Island, it will create much ill feeling on the part of our people, and promote the views of that cla?=s of persons* not now nu merous, in the United Statea, who may be intent on revolutionizing Cuba. The language of the London Times on this subject appears to have irntisted our pre=? very - much. The Times assumes that the filibusters are in the ascendancy here, and that we are about to invade, revolutionize, and annex Cuba; and itr threatens us. thereupon, with the combined resistance of England, Spain and France.
