Autumn la at Hand.
The fcummer solstice has passed; The
hot and suffocating atmosphere, which seemed
to open every pore of tne body, and send
from it, in copious streams, such aqueous exhalations,
threatening to reduce the corpus to
a state o? fluidity, has hapnilv vanished
awayl Wo breathe the revivifying air of
the last of September with pleasure. We
have bid*adieu to summer with a hearty good
will?and why should we not! "What has
the done to endear herself to our remembrance
t She has visited us with severe and
scorchiDg weather?the like whereof the
"oldest inhabitants'^ has no knowledge;
she has decimated the cities and villages
of our country with a fearful scourge, not
oven savage from its ruthless grasp, the
quiet and unobtrusive farmer, who, in the
siiuDlicitv of his habits and tlie absence of
excitement, does not look for so terrible a visitor
; she has taken the young and the old,
the vigorous and the feeble, the poor and the
rich, and prostrating them before the power
of the great avenger, has laid them where
the peer is on a level with the peasant. The
scourge would come sometimes like a thunderbolt,
striking in a hitherto peaceful village,
and with the power of an avenger scattered
the inhabitants to the four winds of
heaven. Terrible indeed has been the devastation
; and although wo have had no ties of
love or affection sundered by the grim monster,
yet we ere not insensible to the fact that
hundreds have been called u]>on to part with
all they hold dear on earth. Families have
been broken up?sometimes not one has been
left to mourn the loss of the other members.
Such has been some of the features which
have marked the history of the past summer,
and seem
?"like the footsteps of the 'vengeful god."
Other complaints we have ngaintt thee, O
summer 1 While spreading sickness and
death throughout the land, thou hast withheld
the needed rain; and hence the harvests
have been blighted, the springs have been

Autuin hat its attractions. The city is lively
and buoyant. The tide of travel, which
all summer has been setting' countryward,
now moves iu the opposite direction; and
the brunette countenances of young ladies,
who have romped over the rural hills, or
danced a glowing vermeil tint on their cheeks
in the saloons of Newport and Saratoga,
have returned to us us healthy, if not as happy,
as when they left; for if they have not
secured that wonderful prize, a husband, it
is presumed they come hack in anything hut
a good humor. The woods being to lose their
vernal tint?not by -the touch of frosts but
by the w ithering hand of the drought. The
farmers have housed their wheat, oats and
hay, and begin to gather lite corn. Soon the
russet crown will be the distinctive feature of
country life,and flowers of summer and fruits
of autumn will both succumb to the advent of
winter,who will throw his cold ami icv mantle
over every spot that summer h:ts performed
with her roses,or autumn made pleasant with
her products.? Whole World.
Who are Your Aristocrats.
Twenty years ago, this one made candles,
that one sold cheese and butter, another
butchered, a fourth carried on distillery another
was a contractor 011 canals, others were
merchants and mechanics. They are acquainted
with both ends of society, as their
children will be after them, though it will not
do to say out loud ! For often you shall Jind J
that these toiling worms hatch butterflies,
and ttyey live about a year. Death brings a J
division of property, and bring new rinau- '
ciers ; the old gent is discharged, the young I'
gent takes his revenues and begins to travel | *
?towards poverty, which he reaches before '
death, or his children do4 if he does not. So (
that, in fact though there is a sort of inonied '
race, it is not hereditary, it is accessible to
all; three good seasons of cotton will send a
generation of men up?a score of years will 1
bring them down, and send their children to
labor, lhe father grubs and grow rich?
his children strut and use the money. Their
children in turn inherit the pride, and go to
shiftless poverty ; next their children, reinvigoratod
by fresh plebeian blood, and by the
smell of the clod, come up again. i
Thus society, like a tree, its sap from the [
earth, changes into leaves and blossoms,
spread thein abroad in great glory, sheds oft i
to fall back to the earth, again to mingle '
with the soil, and at length re-appears in new
dress and fresh garniture.
Process of Makino Shot.?The piglead c
is carried to the top of the tower by windlass ^
and chain, and worked by steam ; it is then
put ip a furnace, kept constantly burning t
night and day, and attended by two sets of j
men?one for the tire and two to pour the
malted lead into tin strainers. After passing
the strainers it falls a distance of 150 feet, '
The passage through the air giving the shot
their shape or form. They fall into a large
tub or basin of water ; here a man is engaged i |
in dipping them out with a ladle and throwing
them on an inclined plane, down which >'
they run to a drum heated by steam and ,
worked by machinery, so as to dry the shot;
when dry they are passed into a revolving |
drum; which stops by action of machinery every
ftve minutes for polishing them; from this
drum they are thrown into a hoppe: ,and from J
this they p;iss over a series of inclined planes,
where the defective shot are carried off, and '
then through seives into drawers, where they '
are assorted by the action of machinery on
seives; then into the large boxes,from which '
they are taken and put into sock*, weighed,
and are ready for use.
No Docnrr of It.?The editor of the Pittsburg
Dispatch, in speaking of thor marriage
k of Kev. Antoinette Brown, say* Antoinette is
married. Much happiness do we wirh the
^k young n< >vitiates !a md Irjmony, but we will
^vater a baby's that the t). I), will wear the
preaches ana the M. D. rock the cradle.

Support your own Mechanics.
The folio win Dffensible remarks, which we
find in some or our, exchanges, wo transfer
to our columns, and would earnestly- commend
them to out readers in this city, and
the State at large:
There is no truth more undeniable than
that it is the bounden' duty of every community
to support its meohanics. They are
. onpikn 1 e 1 I
n nvnuj 1H1U muiopciiaiuro UHSB Ul IHCU, BIIU
we find no town or village flourishing without
their aid. Indeed their presence or absence
is always a true index of the condition
of a place?whether it is advanciug in weaitii
and importance, or sinking into decay.
Whenever we pass through a village
and hear the frequent 'souud of the carpenter's
hammer, tlie clink of tho black
smith's anvil?that villago, we say to ourselves,
is flourishing. It cannot be otherwiso,for
the producers are activity employed,
and outnumber tho consummere. Whenever
and wherever this is the case^the people
are growing wealthy, and at the same time
training up the rising generation to habits of
industry and morality. Where, if a city or
village pursue the opposite of this course?
neglects its mechanics and supports those of
some foreign town?those who can will be
compelled by the force of circumstances to
remain, will became idlo and profligate?
cense to produce and be consumers?in a few
years they become beggars, and their children
ignorant and vicious. If there is any truth
in the assertion, that we ought as a nation to
give the preference to domestic manufactures,
the fact is equally true with regard to tho
community ; both are sustained by the same
arguments. Ifa merchant w ould have around
him substantial customers, let him by every
means in his powers, let him by every means
iu his power support and foster tho mechanics
of his village, and as they become more
wealthy their custom will increase, especially
in those articles on which ho makes the
greatest profits, for it is undeniable, that as
men become more wealthy, they also become
more luxurious, and no merchant will
deny that articles of luxury always afford
the greatest profits. The habit of importing
large, quantities of cihcap und half made articles
of competition with our villago mechanics,
is short sighted and wrong, both as
regards the mechanic and consumer ; and if
t Itn ii.Aw.tinr,t ,..,,.,1.1 1.^.1- .1

operation of things, he would find that he
crossed the path of his own interest by doing
so. Let the merchant bring the case to his
own door, and he perhaps may better understand
it; suppose that every individual who
possesses the means, ar.d who uses in his fatniy
four or five hundred dollars' worth of
goods per anuuin, should, instead of buying
of him at retail, go to some city wholesale J
establishment and purchase his year's supply?would
he not in bitterness condemn ]
swell an illiberal course, and would he not
say to him with truth that ho whs warring 1
against his own interest, by destroying the
business of his town and giving it to anotb- ;
er; and that his littleness would react upon
him in double fold by the decrease of his
property and business ! So, in the case above
instanced, could the mechanic say the same
to the merchant. We say, then, let all classes
support each other, and by mutual exchanges
keep that wealth at home, which,
if necessarily expended abroad, tends to destroy
the business of your neighbor, and
which in turn destroys your own.
Discovery of the North-West Passage.
Bv the last news from Europe, we learn
that Captain R. McClure, of the Phicnir,?
which was sent out in search of Sir John (
Franklin, and who last year had made his
way so far through the ice, when he was fro- i
*cii in, as to have reached a point where he <
communicated with vessels from the. other
fide, has, after being locked up all winter,
found his way out and returned home. He ,
will no doubt be highly rewarded for the feat
which he has performed, but, after all, what ,
benefit will the North-west Passage he to
navigation after it lias been discovered ??
No benefit whatever. And is this all that
lias been obtained by the desperate efforts
made to accomplish such a discovery, and
he lives and treasure squandered in the atempts
? It is believed by some that there 1
s an open polar sea?a great ocean basin? I
ii uie norm role; but suppose there is, it 1
lever can be of any benefit to commerce ; it ]
s so wedged in with fields of ice that it has <
iot been possible to enter it yet, and if it wciv j
'utered, the difficulty would be to get out a- (
piin. If there is an open polar basin, it
vould afford evidence of the correctness of
deut. Maury's theory, of the winds from the ^
quator meeting and turning round at the j
tolcs. ^
Triumph ok Learning.?Mind constitutes (
he, majesty of man?virtue his true noblity. (
The tide of improvement which is now tiowng
through the land like another Niagara
s destined to roll on down to the latest pos- (
erity. And it will bear then, on its bosom, 1
mr virtues or vices, our glory or our shame,
>r whatever else we may transmit as an inheritance.
It then, iu a great measure, de- f
pends upon the present, whether tho moth ^
>f immorality, ignorance, and luxury, shall <
support her against the whirlwind of war,
ambition, corruption, and tho remorseless
tooth of time. Give your children fortune
without education and at least one-half the 1
number will go down to the tomb of obliv- 1
ion. perhaps to ruin. Give them educatiou
and they will be a fortune to themselves and
country, it is an inheritance worth more
than gold, for it buys true honor; they can
never spend nor loose it and through life it
proves a friend, in dent(i u consolation.
asd TnB Quaker.?John Bunyan,
while in Bedford jail, was called upon by
a Quaker desirous of making a convert of
hiin. "Friend John, I have come to the#
with a message from the Lord, and after having
searched for thee in all the prisons in J
ring!ami, I am glad that I have found thee
out at last." "If the Lord had sdnt you,"
returned Bunyan, "you need not bare taken
so much pains to fyrd me out, for th* Lord
knows I have been here twelve jpars.

rendered 00 miserable by his hallucination,
that he destroyed himself. One of our own
artists, who wm much enraged in carricaturcs,
became haunted by the distorted faces
he drew, and the deep melancholy and the
terror which accompanied those apparitions,
caused him to commit siricide. Muller, who
executed the copper plate of the Sixtine Madonna,
had more lovely visions. Towards
i'u? ciwmj of u)s life, the Virgin appeared to
him for the affection he had shown towards
her, invited him to follow her to heaven. To
achieve this, the artist starved himself to
death. Beethoven, who became completely
deaf in the decline of life often heard bis
sublime compositions performed distinctly.
It ft related of Ben Johnson, that he spent
the whole of one night in regarding his great
toe.-around which he saw Tartars, Turks,
Romans, and Catholics, climbing up, and
struggling and fighting. Goethe, when out
riding one day, was surprised to see an exact
image of himself on horseback, dressed in a
light-colored coat riding towards him.?

Diffusiveness of Religion.?In a sermon
we lately heard on the text. "Out of Zion
shall go forth tho law," the preacher used
the following illustration of tho diffusiveness
of religion. We give the substance on[y
. * .
The river Baradi, whose waters flow down
from Anti-Libanus, insted of passing on by
Damascus in a broad current to the the ocean,
enters tho city, and dividing itself into a
multitude of rivulets and rills passes nlong
by the very doors of the inhabitants, furnishing
them with a supply of pure water for
domestic pnrjHwcs while it also runs through
the gardens to enrich and fertilize the soil,
and furnishes a profusion of streams and fountains,
the luiury of which, in that hot and
arid climate, we can imperfectly appreciate.
So with the wtacrs of salvation. They do
not pursue their way directly to the ocean of
eternity ; but they stay In this humid and
desolate world, and flow up to the very doors
and hearts of the inhabitants of Christian
lands blessing and sanctifying all the social
nud civil relations of life, ami refreshing their
souls with their living streams.
When you should take your IIat.?
Young man, a word. We want to tell you
when you should take your hat and be off.
And mind what we oiler.
When you are asked "to take a drink."
When you find out that you are courting
an extravagant and slovenly girl.
When you find yourself in doubtful company
, '
When you discover that your expenses
run ahead of your income.
When you are abusing the confidence of
your friends.
When you think that you are. a great deal
wiser than others and more experienced people
than yourself.
When you feel like getting trusted for a
suit of clothes, because you haven't the money
to pay for them.
When you don't perform your duty, your
whole duty, and nothing hut your duty.

The following anecdote is told by
the Chicago Journal of Governor Reynolds,
whom they call the "Old Ranger"
in Illinois, when for the first time
in his life he visited the seaboard as a
representative to Congress from the
oacK seiuemenrs.
Upon reaching Baltimore, the Governor
rose early in the morning and
Said a visit to the shipping in the
ockSj when the tide was full, and agains
atnoon, when it was ebb?and
not satisfied with the sudden change
that had taken place, again in the evening,
when the tide was in.
Heretofore he had resolved to keep
everything to himself, and go in pursuit
of\knowledge uncler-difficulties, on
his own hook?-but now his astonishment
broke over its bounds aud as he
returned to the hotel the old Ranger
remarked that 'this was the curious-test
country he ever seed in his life?two
freshet* in one day?an nary drop of
rain. '
M. Df. Balzac was lying awake in
bed when ho saw a man enter his room
cautiously" aud attempt to pick the lock
of his writing desk. The rouge was
not a little disconcerted at hearing a
loud laugh from the occupant of the apartracnt,
whoui he supposed asleep.?
'Why do you laugh ?' asked the thief.
'I am laughing, my good fellow,' said
M. De Balzac, 'to think what pains
you arc taking, and what a risk you
run, in hope of finding money by night
in a desk where the lawful owner can
never fiind any by day.' The theif
'evacuated Flanders, at once.

living at Gowanus, L.I., advertises
in the New Jersey Standard, for

in managing RUNAWAY

he couldn't sleep one night, summed up
the causes. A wailing babe of seventeen
