AUTUMN MUSINGS.
| The Autumn lime! the autumn time!
How softly steals its footsteps on !
How gently fades the Summer's prime,
And duns her glories one by one.
i The days are bright, and calm, and clear,
It seems yet summer time to me;
But ah! a change is round me here,
In faded flower and crimsoned tree.
The autumn leaves! the autumn leaves!
How gorgeous in their golden sheen!
And yet it is but death that gives
Their glowing hues for simple green.
Oh! spirit of the frozen North!
Oh! mocker of our summer dreams!
Why com'st thou thus to blight our earth,
And hush the music of our streams!
The autumn winds! the autumn winds!
Ye com' once more with plaintive song;
Ye breathe a dirge to saddened minds,
As softly low ye sweep along.
Ye're sighing for the faded blooin
Of dying Summer's beauty fled, I
Like mourners wailing o'er the tomb
Of young and loved ones early dead.
The autumn rain ! the autumn rain! I
Its sound falls sadly on our ears; i
And coursing down the window pane, ]
The pearly drops seem gushing i?.ars.
Each pale sad flower hath caught a gem,
Which trembles in its loving eye;
Then fallen from the withered stem!
It lays it cheek down low to die.
And jet I love thee.autumn time! <
I love the bleeping* thou dost bring ;
Though thou hast not the merry chime
That thrills the soul in joyous Spring.
'Tis sweetly pad! 'tis sweetly sad!
To gaze upon this solemn scene,
Nor would I, it" I could, retreat,
Where naught but venial bloom is seen.
Wealth.?Tlio error of life into which man
most readily falls, is the pursuit of wealth as th
highest good of existence. While riches command
respect, win. position, and secure comfort, it is ex- 1
peeled that they will be regarded by all classes on- j
ly with a strong and unsatisfied desire. But the j
reverence which is every where manifested for !
wealth, the rank which is conceded it, the homage
which is paid it, the perpetual worship which
is offered it, all tend to magnify its desirableness
and awaken longings for its possession in the
minds of those born without inheritance. In |
society as at ['resent observed, the acquisition of j
money would seem to be the height of human i
aim?the great object of living, to which all
other purpoces are made subordinate. Money, ?
which exalts the lowly, and sheds honor upon 1
the exalted?money, which makes siu appear N
goodness, and gives to viciousness the seeming v

which constitutes its possessor an oraelo, to whom i'
men listen with deference?money, which makes j
deformity beautiful, and sacrifices crime?money, jc
which lets the guilty go unpunished, and wins |1
forgiveness fur wrong?money, which manhood 11
and age respect, and its commendation surety,
and good name for the young? how shall it be *
gained? by what schemes gathered in ? by what *
sacrifice secured' These are the questions which '
absorb the mind, the practical answerings of 4
which engross the life of men. The schemes are '
too often those of fraud, and out rage upon the 4
sacred obligations of being; sacrifice, loss of the '
highest moral sense, the neglect of internal life
and development, the utter and sad perversion
of the true purposes of existence. Money is valued
beyond its worth?it has gained a power i
vastly above its deserving. i
Wealth is courted so obsequiously, is flattered i
so servilely, is so influential in moulding opin- t
ions and judgment, has such a weight in the es- j
timafiou of character, that men reward its acqui- (
sition as the most prudent aim of their enden- s
vors, and its possession as absolute enjoyment ;
and honor, rather than the means of honorable, r
useful, and happy life. While riches are thus \
over estimated, and hold such power iu coinmu- i
nitics, men will forego case and.cndure toil, sacri- \
fice social pleasures and abandon principle, for j
the sj>eedy and unlimited acquirement of property.
Money will not be regarded as the means of ,
living, but as the ohjeet of life. All nobler ends j
will be neglected in the eager haste to be rich. ,,
No higher pursuit will bo recognized than the .
pursuits of gold?no attainment deemed so de- |
sirable as the attainment of wealth. While the ,
<-rw>nt man nf pvorv oirolo is tlio rieTi man. in the
....... ~.~.J - , common
mind wealth becomes the synonyme of
greases?. No condition is discernnblc snj>erior
to that which money confers : no loftier idea of
manhood is entertained than that which cmbraces
the extent of one's possessions.
There is a wealth of heart better than gold,
and an interior decoration fairer than outward
ornament. There is a splendor in upright life,
beside which gems are lustreless; and a firmness
of spirit whose beauty outvies the glitter of diamonds.
Man's true lichcs are hidden in his nature,
and in their development and increase wiil 1
find his surest happiness.
Presence of Himl.
Very much has been written in regard to this
important trait of character, yet adults, as well
as children, are continually, in every dangerous
emergency, found lamentably deficient. Accidents
causing death and destruction of property
will ever occur ; therefore, in calm and tranquil
moments, we should fortify ourselves for the ;
hour of danger. The story of "John Raynor," j
impressed on the mind, possibly might have have j
restored to life many children apparently drown-1
ed. It was in the infancy of this periodical that
the account wjis given, and a host of our present J'
readers were not then its patrons; therefore, I ]
hope to bo pardoned for giving a transcript for
publication, especially as it cannot fail to inter- :
est our juvenile friends.
"It was during the summer holiday of 1800," '
said Mr. Bowers, "I had a young friend staying
with mc and my younger brother Edward. His j
name was John liaynor; and how he came by
so much information as lie seemed to have, I do
not remember that we troubled ourselves to inquire
; but my father, who liked John exceedingly,
said it was from his constant habit of observation.
He was then only fourteen, only two
years older than myself. One evening, during
the absence of my parents, we occupied ourselves
with assisting our old gardener. The garden
sloped down to a broad river, which joined the
sea at a few miles distant. I was not so busy
but I looked up every now and then to watch
the. beautiful sunset that sparkled on the water,
or the passage boats and country barges that
glided by at intervals. Suddenly 1 observed, at
a small distance, something floating 011 the wa"
'It is the body of a toy!' said John, and in
a moment flung off his jacket and throw himself
into the water. Fortunately he was a good
swimmer, and his courage never left him. He
swam with all his strength towards the floating
body, and seizing with one hand the hair, with
the other directed his course to the shore. We
watched eagerly, and the moment he came within
reach, assisted him in laying the body on the
Trass-plot. My brother Edward recognized him
is the son of a washerwoman, exclaiming, jis lie
burst into tears,
"Toor woman, she will never see her boy
igain.' John replied, in a hurried tone,
" 'She may, if we lose 110 time, and use the
right means to recover him. Edward run quickly
for a doctor, and as you pass the kitchen, tell
Susan to have a bed warmed."
'"We had better hold him up by the heels,'
said the gardener, 'to let the water run out of
:iis mouth.'
" 'No, 110,' exclaimed John ; 'by so doing we
shall kill him, if he is not already dead; we must
landle him as gently as possible.'
"When the body had been carried into the
louse, the gardener urged John to place the :
x>dy near the kitchen fire; but after a little per
suasion they yielded to John's entreaty, and the :
xnly was rubbed dry, and placed 011 his right
side between hot blankets, on a mattnss. The 1
lead was bound with flannel, and placed high !
in pillows; lour bottles were filled with hot waer,
wrapped in flannels, and placed at the arm- |
sits and feet, while the body was constantly rubied
with hot flannels. John then took the bel- 1
ows, and having blown out all the dust, directed '
ne to close the mouth and one nostril, while he, [
>y blowing in at the other, filled the chest with ]
tir; he then laid aside the bellows, and pressed '
he chest upwards to force the air out; this was J
lone from twenty to thirty times in a minute, to 1
mitate natural breathing. All this time the
viudows and doors were left wide open. Edvard
at length returned without the doctor; he
vas absent from home. The use of friction with
varm flannel, and artificial breathing, was eon
liiucd fur one hour and a halt", and iio signs of
i'fe appeared. John continued his efforts. An- j
>ther half hour passed, 'ami, to the inexpressible j <
lelight of 11s all, the boy opened his eyes, and J
ittered a faint sigh." 1
What .'i good tliintr it was for the mother of
his poor, boy that John l'aynor once read, on
i framed printed paper, "Rules of the Iluniane
Society for recovering persons apparently drown d."
Better still, that lie had taken pains to re- ;
lumber them. Every item that we gloat, caluilated
to benefit the distressed, should be treaiured
in memory's garner for the hour of nu?d.

Quarrels.?One of the easy, and most comnon,
most perfectly foolish things in the world
s to quarrel, no matter with whom, man, woman
>r child, or upon what pretence, provocation or
iccasion whatever. There is no kind of necessity
n it, no manner of use in it, and no species or
logree of benefit to bo gained by it; and yet,
oe thrt ftw.t m*?t* Km f 11 ii, .1, uri-l ti<
L"."gv "i. V..V J
md politicians,lawyers, doctors and princes quar ol:
the Church quarrels, and the State quarrels, ,
tations and tribes, and corporations, men, wonen,
and children, dogs and cats, birds and
leasts, quarrel about all manner of things and on
ill manner of occasions.
If there is any thing in the world that will '
nake a man feel bad,except pinching his fingers
n a crack of a door, it is unquestionably aquarel.
No man ever fails to .think less of himself
ifter than he did before one; it degrades him in
lis own eyes, and in the eyes of others, and,
vhat is worse, blunts his sensibility to disgrace i
m one hand, and increases the power of passion- i
ite irritability on the other. The truth is, the i
nore quietly and peaceably we get on the bet- <
or; the by Iter for ourselves; the better for our <
leighbors. In nine cases out of ten, the wisest
:ourse is, if a man cheats you, quit dealing with
lim; if he is abusive, quit his company; if lie
danders, take care to live so that no man will .
jclieve him. No matter who ho is, or how he
nisuses you, the wisest way is just to lot him ,
done, for there is nothing bettor than this cool,
sum, quiet way of dealing with the wrongs we
neet with. 1
Nii.e Discoveuy.? Bayard Taylor writes to
die New York Tribune that "a Mr. Hollo, who
arly in last winter had gained a point on the \\ liite
Nile, within four and a half degrees of theequa
or, lias sctit back an account oi ins discoveries,
with a map, which lias reached the French Geographical
Society. It appears, from his account
dint the upper part of the Nile channel is sur
rounded by great mountains, which extend eastward
ly from the Southern Abyssinian range, far
towards the centre of the continuont. in a line 1
curving to the south. In these mountains are
nourished the many streams whose reservoirs supply
the inundations of the Nile, continuing as
they do for months. Mr. Hollo finds in that
country the tradition of a white people who formerly
brought merchandise from the south; lie
supposes that these traders were Portugese, and
that they crossed the mountains by some pass
which is yet to l>c discovered.
At about the same date with this communication,
a missionary named Don Angelo Vico, was
at a place which lie eallc-d Bellcnin, on an eastern
branch of the White Nile, between four
and five degrees north lattitude. With these
travellers, and with others who are scattered over
that continent, it must soon be thoroughly ex
plorcd. Mr. liolle speaks of the practice of the
Egyptain Turks, who kidnap and enslave the
natives of those remote regions, as hindering
greatly the progress of both scientific investigation
and of commerce.

[BY MISS S. I.Al'OIILJX.]
It was a bright and glorious mom, fresh before
me lay the landscape ; geii'ly ihe zephyr's breath
touched the myriads of flowers that were bending
beneath their coronets of dew ; the first faint rays
of light were gilding the eastern horizon, and dispersing
the clouds that appeared in the blue vault
the night before, and outshining the stars in
brightness so as to shut them entirely from our
view, but nothing was seen, save a few straggling
beams dancing and playing upon the sparkling
UfcW?
Just like some little Elfin sprite,
That visits earth at morning light;
Again when day has gone away,
They dance forth in the morning ray.
Thus I gazed and mused 011 the beanty and
freshness of the scene, and thought it a fit emblem
of childhood's joyous hours; 110 cloud
dimmed the horizon there?all was beautiful, all
was lovely?the smile of wild joyous glee dances
from the eye, and plays over their happy dimpled
faces, like the sun's first rays playing over
the spangled lawn.
In the morning of life, we appear very weak,
and have very little power;?but mark how our
strength increases!?The sun arose very slowly,
and I watched how by degrees it increased in
brilliancy?more and more intense became the
rays?still, advancing slowly, and slowly, increa
sing every hour in brightness, until it arrived at
the meridian of its glory, dispensing light and
heat to all.?It stood as the great emblem of
Man?Man in the prime of life; and as I saw
many driven to seek the shade, from the power
fill lays that poured from the zenith?I thought
af our own lamented Calhoun?when he stood
in the height of his power, and forced the rcsreants
of their country to hide from the fire of
[lis eye, and cower beneath the brilliancy of his
intellect,
Oh, son of Carolina would that I
Could touch the lyric page, with pen divine,
A halo,?bright will ever round thee shine.
Again did I watch the sun, in its decline, it
had touched the western horizon, and in a li.d
i'f golden clouds, it sunk from my view, on the
western horizon,?that point from whence it had
started in tin* morn, was made brilliant by the
lingering light. Here is a picture of the great
and good man, he has advanced steadily, year
after year, in pursuit of the business of this life,
becoming by degrees older and older, his friends
fonr Lcf lin <lmilL1 In) ttiL'Aii nft* ciirlrlonlr Kiifr Ko I
lives on to Ji glorious old age. But oh ! how
swiftly time passes on, his steps become more
feeble, and he is compelled to lean heavily on
his staff?his appointed time is almost finished in
this world, and the destroyer disease seizes his
frail and tottering frame?day after day?long
and wearied nights, dear friends watch around
his dying bed, giving every attendance that is
necessary, but still the disease is increasing, ar d
medical aid is of no assistance, his course is almost
run, they have all assembled to receive the
last parting blessing?all hope is lost, a smile
lights up his face, he then
Calmly as to a night's repose,
Like flowers at set of sun,
He sinks to rest, his days are finished.
And how have they been spent? view him as
lie sloops in death, he is free from all the trouble
of this world. Although his tongue is hushed,
that he can converse with us no more, yet like
the hist lingering reflection of the sun, his actions
me left for an example, and his influence will be
felt for many ages to come.
Bui, still death is terrible; the tear,
The grave the knell, the pall, the bier,
And all wo know, or dream, or fear;
ni* ? ......
VI ?I?1?1IV UIC* MIIIIU
Yet, it is beautiful and instructive to witness
the Ia.*t hours of those whB have spent long years
in the discharge of every Christian duiy?even
more glorious is the halo that lingers around the
lying of the Christian, than ever lit up tho western
sky; or of the far famed Italian sun-set.

The Api'lk Trade.-?One town in Massachusetts
raised 14,000 barrels this year, which sold
for an average of ?2, making the snug little sum
of ?28,000 to a few persons, who have learned
that such small business as growing and selling
apples will produce a sure income,
*
Another College.?The Carolina Spartan^
published at Spartanburg Court House, S.
says: "That publication will be made to the n xfc
Legislature, for an act to incorporate another'
College in the town of Spartanburg, to be called
"St. John's College." The Rev. Mr. MIcCollough,
the Episcopal Minister of the Advent at this piece,
is its projector and director. We made a short
visit to the grounds, which is to form, we itust,
the b"autiful Campus of St. John's College; and
were sur] rised to tind, already, the ma^omy of
the two first stories, of a large and el- gant 1 uilding,
between 70 ana SO feet long were finhhed*
The third we were informed, would be up a
two or three weeks We learn, that the present ..
i is designed as a centre eaince, to wnicn suitable
additions may be made whenever required."
Education of Boys.?We know not who is
the author of the following paragraph but itcontains
sound sentiments which ought to be tfeas-<
ured up by every parent and guardian in the
land:
"Even* boy should have his head his heart and
his hand educated. Let this truth never be for-'
gotton. By the proper education of the heady
he will be taught what is good and what is evil
what is wise and what is foolish, what is right,
a id what is wrong. By the proper education
of the heart, he will be taught to love what is
good wise and right, and to hate all evil foolish
and wrong. And by the proper education of .
hand, he will be enabled to supply his wants, to
add to Ins comforts, and to assist those around
him. The highest objects of a good education
are to reverence and obey God, and to love and
serve mankind. Everything that helps us in attaining
these objects is of great value, and everything
that hinders us is compartively worthlese.
When wisdom reigns in the headland
love in heart, the man is ever ready to do good}
order and peace smile around and sin and sorrow1
are almost unknown."
Dr. David T. Hines.?" This somewhat note
rious individual," says the Savannah Republican
of Friday, " was arraigned yesterday before the
U. S. Circuit Court, now in session in this city,
and plead guilty to the charge of embezzlement
from the Post Office. As the amount abstracted
was quite small, he was let off with the light
sentence of six months imprisonment in the
County Jail, and a fine of one hundred dollar?.
We understand that other indictments will probably
be found against him, at the next term of
the State Superior Court."
New York Money Market.?The Journal of
n n rn 1 .a .
commerce 01 tuesaay aiiernoon sajs:
There is a continued ease in the money market
wliioli will be further promoted by a largo
arrival of specie from California. We learn by
special correspondence from San Francisco under
date of October 14, that the steamer Oregon
would leave the. day after the Pacific, with two
and a quarter million of gold dust on freight,
which amount may be expected daily. This will
give increased buoyancy in the market;vwith
such arrivals and a limited export of coin, we do
not see how any stringency can he apprehended.
The advance noticed yesterday in Sterling Exchange
was mostly nominal, a few sales were effected
at 110 1-4, and towards the close prime
signatures on London were offered at 110 1-8.
The Stock market was better, at the opening, for
Cumberland and one or two other speculative
Stocks, but lower for Erie and Canton.
The Maysville Eagle says, Kentucky sends annually
to market thirty thousand mules worth
from 83,000,000 to 4,000,000.
" A Patron."?Some individuals think them-selves
" patrons" of a paper, because they receive
it from wec-k to week, even if they seldom or
never pay for it, or the amount due from then is
nearly lost by the exj>ense of collecting it. To1
such, we would commend the example of T. K.,.
of O., New York, who "knowing that publishers
very frequently suffer through the neglect of
patrons," has paid three years in advance for his
paper. We wish we had a thousand more of
such subscribers. We should be glad to 100K
upon their honest faces. "Patrons'.' of this sort
are "patrons" indeed. They keep the needful
machinery well oiled, and to serve thera, is acheerfal
work.?Ex. Paper.
Horrible Dcel.?By the Santa Clara Regis'
ter we are informed of the following particulars,
of a duel which came off in Santa Clara county,,
near Gilroy's ranch, and which, in ferocity and,
desperation, we find no parallel for in the State.
It occurred, says the Register, between a Mexican
and a native California!), about a game of
monte, and Colt's navy revolvers were the weapons
used in combat. Nine shots were fired,
and four of the balls took effect in each of the
combatants. Both parties expired immediately,
and they were each ushered into the presence of
their Maker to answer for the murder of the other.
After the second or third shot, the Califbrnian
crawled on his hands and knees nearer his
antagonist and fired, in order to make sure of his
victim. This shot took effect in the abdomen of
the Mexican.

We find in the Carolinian, the annual report of ?
Col. Palmer, President of the Charlotte Road,
from which we loarr. that the receipts and ex- *
penditurcs of the Road for the year have been as
follows:
From passengers, freights, and mails, $115,917,72
And the expenses, 50,972,28
Leavings for earings, $8 #,945,56 *
The whole cost of the road has been about a "'*
million and a half. Allowing then for the diminution
of its receipts, in oonsequonce of the interruptions
of the freshet, we find the result quite
promising.?Southern Standard,
