SEPTEMBER.
J^he hath gone, tlie gorgeous sinninrr,
Yet on path, and wood, and iiill Tlie traces of her rosy feet
Are lingering brightly siill; .^nd, as the sunlight p:iliiig
On the evening leaves ii.s flush. In the shadowy arms of Amuuni
.Still we revel in her Mush.
-¦Irt thou gone, oh ! lovely summer ?
I am wandering where the trees. The grand high priests of nature.
Swing iheir reuscrs 10 the breeze ; Swing the perfumes of the hazy air.
While (hrougli ihc arclics dim Comes far, aud sweet, and solemnly
'I'heir nnirmured, mystic hymn I
I am wandering through the forests,
Through the summer woods—hut lo! There droops and sways a yellow Hag,
Amid the green beech hough ; And from the tufts of waving feru
.Spring shafts of paly gold, Aud the long grass 'plains whisjieringly
When rising winds are \)old.
-And the halm flower by the sireamlei,
The thistle down that sails, A fairy craft o*er mount and mead
Urged on by mimic gales. The golden rod bright glancing
Where the calm and sunny light Falls trickling thro' the golden leaves,—¦
These whisper of thy flight.
Alas, alas! for summer gone.
Alas'. when death his snow Shall heap upon her rosy lips
And on her radiant brow I Alas ! alas ! for the darker days.
When Nature, pale with dread, Shall stand, a striken Niobe,
.\lone amid her dead.

THE BROTHER AND SISTER.
BY   I..   MARIA   THILD.
¦'But show nie, on thy flowery breast, Earth, where thy nameless martyrs rest ! The thousands, who, uncheered by praise. Have made one ofi'ering of their days."
Mrs. HEjiAXfi.
'•Hurra!" e.xclainied John Gelding to his sister Esther. "See what Mr. Brown has bought with Bidtly's eggs !"
The boy's eyes sparkled, and his hands trembled with delight, while Esther's more serious countenance lighted np with a (piick smile.
The treasure John e.vhiblled with such ex- ullalion   was a  worn  copy of  Gold.imilh's Manners and  Customs.    The title-page de¬ clared that it  was adorned with plates; bnt readers accustomed to the present more beau¬ tiful style ol publishing wonld have been slow to admit that the straight, lank llgutes, daub¬ ed with engravers' ink, were any ornament to the volumes. To the unpractised eyes of John and his sister, they were,  however,  gems, of Art; and the manner in which they were ob¬ tained greatly  increased  their value.    The children had received a cake and  two little chickens from a neighbor,   in  payment for picking   cranberries.     Never   did  chickens give rise to such extensive speculations; not even the imaginary brood of the famous milk¬ maid.   The chickens   would  become  hens, and the hens would lay eggs, and Mr. Brown, who drove the market-wagon, wonld .sell the eggs, and there were ever so many books in Boston, and who could guess  what  wonder¬ ful stories they would buy with  their  eggs? The vision was realized  in  due  lime.   The chickens did  become  hens, and  laid eggs; and Mr.  Brown  listened good-naturedly tn John's request to sell theniand to buy 'a book that had pictures in it ami told about coun¬ tries away off."—Gohlsmith's Manners anil Customs came as the fiuit of those instruc¬ tions, and was hailed with an outburst of joy. Most boys would have chosen to buy mar¬ bles or a drum; but John's  earliest passion had been for a book.   The snbtle influences ¦which organize temperaments and produce character, are not  easily  traced.    His  intel- iectual activity certaihly was not derived from either of his parents; for they were mere healthy sluggish animals.    But there was a tradition in the neighborhood, that his mater¬ nal grandmother vva& "an extraordinary wo¬ man in her day;  tliat few folks knew so much as .she did ;  and if h'^r husband had been  half as smart and   calculating, they would have been veiy fore-handed people 1"
The children of the "extraordinary woman" inherited her husband's inert temperament, but her own energetic character appeared ni her grandchildren; and they had the good fortune to be born in New England, where the moral atmosphere stimulates intellect.and the stream of knowledge flows free and full to all the people. Esther was as eager for in¬ formation as her more vivacious brother; and though as a woman her pathway of life was more obstructed, and all  its growth more stinted, she helped to lead him into broader aveoues than she herself was allowed to en¬ ter.—Being two years older than he, it was her delight to teach him the alphabet, as soon as he could speak; and great was her delight when he knew all the letters in her little, old primer, and could recite the couplet that be¬ longed to each.   They conveyed no very dis¬ tinct idea to  his mind, but  Esther's praise made him very vain of this accomplishment. A dozen times a day he shouted the whole twenty four, all in a row, and was quite out of breath when he arrived at: "Zaccheus he Did climb the tree, His Lord to see !" The mother, who was a kindly but dull wo¬ man,   took   little interest   in  their childish scrambling after literature but she sent them to the town-school for the sake of having them unt of the way, and she was somewhat proud that her children could "read joining hand," as she called it, earlier than neighbor.^ of the same age,   One day, when the minister of the village called, she told John to bring his book about Manners and Cnstoms, and let the minister hear how well they could read. The good old man was much pleased with the bright boy and his intelligent, motherly sister. When Iheit mother told him the story of the egga, he patted them on the head and said : "That's right my children.   You can't be too fond of your books,   They aro the best friends in the world.   If you ask them, they will tell you about everything!'   This remark uttered
in a very serious tone, made a deep impress¬ ion. That evening, as hrolhet and sister sal on the door-step, eating their supper of bread and milk, llie snn set bright and tdear after a transiiiut .shower, and a beautiful rainbow arched tlie entire heavens. '-Oh, Esther, look at that pretty rainbow!" exclaimed John. ¦'•All see ! neu ! now there are two of 'em !" He jjazeil at the beaulitul phenomenon with all his soul in his eyes, and added: "As soon as we have eggs enough, we will get Mr. lirown to buy a book that tells how rainbows are made, and where they come from." Es¬ ther replied, that she did wish the hens wonld lay three eggs a day.
When the market man was commissioned to purchase another volume, he declared him¬ self unable to find one that told where rain¬ bows came from. In lieu thereof, he bought Bruce'sTravels; and an unfailing source of entertainment it proved. Thus month by month their little library increased, and their intellectual craving greiv fa.st by the food it fed on. They gathered berries, picked chips, ran on errands, rose early and woiked late, to accumulate sLvpences.
When this is done merely to obtain animal indulgencics, or for the sake of possessing more than others, there is something degrad¬ ing in the servile process; but when the ob¬ ject is pursuit ol any knowledge for its own sake, all creeping things becoiTie winged. Beautiful it is to see linm.m souls thns strug¬ gling with poverty and toil, sustained only by those ministering angels. Rape and mutual Faith ! Those who have life enough to strug¬ gle tlins. are all the .stronger for the contest. For the vigorous intellect it is better to be so placed than to bo born in palaces. Jean Paul says truly : "Wealth bears far heavier on talent than poverty. Under gold niountainp and thrones, who knows how many a spiritu¬ al fiiant may lie crushed down and buried ?" Esther and her brother were troubled with no ambitious conjectures whether or not they could ever become spiritual giants: they sim¬ ply felt that the acquisition of knowledge was present delight. They thought little of hats and shoes, till father and mother said these must be bought with a portion of their wages; but after that, they were doubly carelul of their hats, and often carried their .shoes in their hands. Tims were they, in their un¬ conscious earnestness, living according lo laws which highest reason wonld prescribe for the whole social fabric. They worked in- ilustriously at manual labor, but always with a spiritual end in view ; and that spiritual end was their own chosen recreation. They prac¬ tised the most careful economy, but it was neither mean nor painful, because it was for a noble nsp, not lor the mere sake of accnmu- latiun.
Though the poor pavcnts  were  obliged  to appropriate a portion ol the children's juven¬ ile earnings, tlieie was one little fund thai was sacredly their own.    The two chickens hail a progeny of chickens, .-iml Ihe.'ie, in process of time, likewise laid eggs.    John picked upev, ery stray grain of oats he could find, because he had heard it was a gooil kind of food to in¬ crease eggs: anil busy little Esther saved all the oyster shells she could find, to pound for the hens in winter, when there was no gravel to furnish material for the shells.    The cack¬ ling of a hen was to them an imporlantevent. Esther smiled at her knitting as she heard it, and John, as he jilncked the weeds, raised up his head to listen.    Hens  have  been  often laughed at  for proclaiming all  abroad  that another egg is in the world ; but John's brood had a right to ciow overtlieir mission.. Cackle away to thy heart's content, thou brown little feather-top ! Never mind their jibes and jeers! Thy  human  superiors often become world- lamousby simply obeying an impulse, which, unconsciously to thcnisclves, devolves exten¬ sive and progressive good ; and thoiK art not the lirst prattling egotist who has worked  for far higher results than he had  the ability to compreheml.   I.ei him who laughs at '.hy cackling, measure, if lie can, what share  thy new-laid egg may have in changing the des¬ tiny of man!    It will aid in the culture  of a human soul.    It will help to  developn and stimulate individual thought.    And  il  gene¬ rously aimed and feniles.sly uttered, may not that individual thought pervade and  modify the entire opinion of society?—And is not law
the mere record of aggregate opinion ?
Truly the cackling hen brought no such thoughts to simple Esther and her brother John. Tu them it merely announced that another egg wa-s laid, and thereby another cent gained towards the purchase of a new book. They talked the stories over by the light of the moon, or recited to each other favorite passages from Burns and Bloomfield. When the field-laborers took their noon-day rest, you wonld would be sure to fiiul John hidden away in the shade of a haystack, de¬ vouring a book. His zeal attracted the minis¬ ter's attention, and he often stopped to talk with him. One day he said to the mother, "This boy will make something extraordinary. He must get an education. He must go to college, ma'am."
"Bless my heart, I might as well think of sending him to the moon.'" she replied.
But Esther heard it, with a quick blush of pleasure and pride; and henceforth the one absorbing thought of her life v.'as how to as¬ sist in sending John to college. Busily siie calculated how much could be earned in two years by knitting, and binding shoes, and braiding .straw. John listened with rapture to her plans, but his triumph was checked mid-way by the recollection that his sister could not go to college with .l,im. "^why Esther, you have always been my teacher," he said. "You learn faster than I and re¬ member better. Why don't women go to college V
"They conld'nl be lawyers, and  ministers and judges, if they did," answered Esther "Why not?" said John. Esther's knowledge and reflection on the subject stopped there, and she simply replied that women never h.ad done such things.
"Why, yes, they have," said John. "The Bible says that Deborah was a judge; and Queen Elizabeth wa.-; more than a judge; and we read the other day that Isabella of Spain knew how to direct an army and govern the State, better than her husband, King Ferdi¬ nand. T am sure I don't see why women should'nt go lo college."
The bo}', in theeagernessof brotherly love, had started ideas which he was too ignorant to follow. Tint in his .sL-nple qne.stions lies the germ of thoughts that will revolutionize the world. For as surely as there is a God of harmony in the universe, .so surely woman will one day become the acknowledged eoual
and co-worker of man, in every department of life; and yet be more truly gentle and affectionate than she now is.
But E.sther was too young to reflect on such matters. She loved her brother, and she wanted him to go to college; and with un¬ questioning diligence she applied her facul¬ ties to the purpose, in every way that was lelt open for her.^—She scarcely allowed her¬ self time to eat and sleep, and grudged her¬ self every article of apparel, so zealous was her sLsterly love. Poor girl! there was no one to teach her the physical law.s, and she knew not that toiling thus perpetually, with¬ out exercise for the bod)', or recreation for the mind, was slow suicide. Month after month she labored and seldom spoke of pains in her sitle, and confused t'eelings in her head. Ev¬ en her favorite lu.xury of reading was almost entirely relinquished; and John had little leisure to read to her such books as were en¬ tertaining. The minister had offered lo hear him recite in Latin and Greek once a week, and he was too busy with the classics to have lime for Voyages and Travels. He often re¬ peated his lessons to his sister, and from his bald translations she here and there gleaned a few ideas; but this kind of mental effort was little profitable, and less enlivening. Blessed Nature stood ever ready to refresh and strengthen her. The golden dandelion blossoms smiled brightly in her face, and the trees stretched their friendly arras over her in blessing; but she had no time to listen to t^eir kind voices.—It would have been diffi¬ cult to lure her aside from her arduous path, evenif she had known that it would lead to an open tomb.
When an object is pursued with such con¬ centrated aim and persevering effort, it is al¬ most always attained. John taught school in the winters, and worked at whatever his hand could find to do in the summers. Esther hoarded all her earings to achl lo the Educa¬ tion Fund, as they called it: and their good friend the minister borrowed a hundred doll¬ ars for them, to be repaid according lo their oWn convenience. At last, the darling hope of many years was realized. John went to college, and soon ranked among the best scholars of his class. His sister still toiled, that he might h-dve a sufficiency of books and clothing. He studied hard, and taught school during college vacations, and returned home at the end of four years, attenuated al¬ most to a skeleton.
The new milk and cheese-whey, the breath of the cows and the verdure of the fields, re¬ freshed him, and in sume degrfee restored his exhausted strength. Bui now he was fretted with the question, what to do with the educa¬ tion he had acquired with so much hardship. An additional expenditure of time and money was required to fit kim for the professions. He was not stimulated by any strong prefer¬ ence for either of them, and his generous soul resisted the idea of taxins his dear sister's strength any farther forjhis own advantage. The old question of his boyhood returned with additional force. Why should she with her noble nature and admirable faculties, be forever penned up within the small tontine of petty cares, and mere mechanical efforts? Why shoultl she not share his destiny, and enjoy with him a more e.'tpansive atmosphere lor soul and body ? To this end he resolved to labor. He would earn money by the readi¬ est means that offered, and devote his earn¬ ings to her improvement. But Esther said, "If yon educate me, dear John, what can I do with my education? I can do nothing but teach school; and for that I am sure my health is not adequate. The doctor says I must lake as much e.xercise as possible."
"The doctor!" exclaimed John. "Why Esther, you never told me you had been ill enough to consult a physician."
"It is merely a slight difficulty in my lungs," see replied., "I am going to spin on the great wheel this winter; and I think that will cure me. Do not trouble your kind heart about me. my dear John. White I have any health and strength, I will never consent to be a burden upon you, however much you may urge it. I do not believe that sisters ought to depend on brothers for support. I am sure it is far belter for the character of women to re¬ ly on their own energies. But sometimes I think we have not a fair chance in the world. I often wish, as you do, that it was easy for us to obtain a more liberal education and cus- lomary to use that education in a freer tcope for all our faculties. But never mind, dear brother, the door of your cage is open, and the world is all before you. Go where you will, I know you will never forget the sister who loves yon so dearly. You are destined logo fat ahead of me in life; but your good heart will never allow you to be ashamed of your poor untutored Esther."
John folded her close to his heart, and turned away to hide the gathering tears.   He was more than ever desirous to do something for the high culture of that generous and af¬ fectionate soul.—The way to earn a moderate income was soon opened to him.   The wid owed sister of one of the college professors wanted a private tutor for her sons; and John Golding was recommended by her brother. Here he came in contact for the first time, with the outward refinemenlsof life.    Charm¬ ing music,-harmonious colors, elegant lurni- luie, and above all, the daily conversation ol a cultivated woman, breathed their gentle and refining influences over his strong and honest soul.    At first, he was shy and awk¬ ward, but the kindly atmosphere around him, gradually unfolded the  sleeping flower-buds within, and without thinking of the process. the scholar became a gentleman.   By caieful economy, he repaid Esther the sums she had advanced for his education ; but the question was forever renewed how he should manage lo have her share his advantages,  wilhout sacrificing her noble spirit of independence. His visits to the old homestead reminded him, sometimes a little painfully, that he was leav¬ ing his family far behind him in the career of knowledge and refinement.   His father chew, ed tobacco without much regard  to cleanli¬ ness.   His kind old mother would  cut the butler with the same knife she had used  in eating.   She had done so all her life, but he had never before noticed it, and it vexed him 10 the heart to find himself to much annoyed by It now.   His serious, gemie sister, was en- dowed with an unusual degree of refinement, which is usually a better teacher of manners than mere conventional politeness.   Bntonce when he brought home one of his pupils she came out to meet them dressed in a new gown, of dingy blue and brick-red, with fig¬ ures large enough for bed-curtaina. He blush¬ ed, and was for a moment ashamed of her •
then he reproached himself that his darling Esther could seem lo him in any respect vul¬ gar. The next week he sent her a dress of delicate material and (juiet colors, and she had tact enough to perceive, that this was a silent mode of improving her taste.
The most painful thing connected with his own superior culture was the spirhual diii- tance it produced between him and his hon¬ est parents. Their relative positions were reversed. Father and mother looked up with wondering defeiciice to their children. Like hens that have hatched ducks, they knew not what to make of their progeny, thus launch¬ ing out on a fluid element which they have never tried. But he perceived the distance between them far more clearly than they could. He could receive the whole ot their thought, but was constantly obliged to check the utterence of hisown, from a consciousness that allusions the most common to him would be quite unintelligible to them. "The butter- lly may remember the grub, but the grub has no knowledgeof thebutlerflv." With Esther he had unalloyed pleasure of companionship; for though ignorant of the world, and defici¬ ent in culture, she was an intelligent listener, and it charmed him to see her grow continu¬ ally under the influence of the sunshine he could bring to her. How he loved to leach her! How he longed to prove his gratitude by the consecration of all his faculties and means to her use!
In little more than a year after he left col¬ lege, a delightful change came o^ver his pros¬ pects. A brother of the widow in whose family he had been tutor, was appointed am¬ bassador to Spain, and through her influence he selected John Golding for his private sec¬ retary. Esther, true to her unselfish nature, urged him by all means to accept the offer. "When you were a little boy," said ahe, "you were always eager to know about countries a great way off. But we little thought then that our cackling hens would ever bring you such a golden opportunity."
John's satisfaction would have been com¬ plete, if he could have taken Esther with him to th9t balmy clime. But she had many ob¬ jections lo offer. She said her rustic manners unfitted her fur the elegant circles in which he would move; and he replied that she would catch the lone of polished society far more readily than he could. She reminded him that their parents needed his assistance to repair the old dilapidated homestead, and to purchase cows; and that he had promised to devote to their use the first money he could spare. He sighed, and made no ans¬ wer ; for he felt that his pecuniary resources were altogether inadequate to his generous wishes. Again the question returned, "Why cannot women go abroad, and earn their own way in the world, as well as men?" The coming ages answered him, but he did not hear the prophecy.
At last the hour of parting came. Painful it was to both, but far more painful lo Esthtr. The young man went forth to seek novelty and adventure; the young woman remaini d alone, in the dull monotony of an uueventfnl life. And more than this, she felt a mourn¬ ful certainty that she should never behold her darling brother again, while he was cheer¬ ed by hopes ol a happy reunion, and was for¬ ever building the most romantic "castles in Spain." She never told him how very ill she was; and he thought her interrupted breath was caused merely by the choking emotions of an over charged heart.
He deposited with a friend more money than he could have prevailed upon her to ac¬ cept, and made a choice collection of bocks and engravings to cheer her during his ab¬ sence. To the last moment, he spoke of com¬ ing for her next year, and carrying her lo the sunny hills of Spain. With a faint smile she promised to learn Spanish, that she might be able lo talk with her brother Don Scolardo ; and so with mutual struggles to suppress theit tears, the brother and sister, who had gone so lovingly, hand in hand, over the rough palhs of life, parted where the glancing summit of his hopes rose bright before him.
A letter written on board ship was full of the quiet literary home they would enjoy to¬ gether in the coming years.    The next letter announced his arrival in Spain.   Oh, the ro¬ mantic old castles, the picturesque villas, the rich vinyards, the glowing oranges, the great swelling bunches of grapes!    He  was  half wild with enthusiasm, and seemed to have no annoyance, except the fact that he could not speak  modern   languages.    " I ought not," said he, "to complain of the college-education for ¦which we toiled so  hard, and which has certainly opened for me the closed gate-way of afar nobler life than I could probably have entered by any other means.   But after all, dear Esther, much of my time and money was spent for what I cannot bring into use, and shall therefore soon forget.   Even my Latin was not taught me in a way that  en¬ ables me to talk freely with the learned for¬ eigner I meet.   By the light of my present experience, I can  certainly devise  a better plan of education for my son, if I ever have one.   Meanwhile, dear sister, do no work too hard; and pray study French and Spanish with all diligence; for laugh as thou will at my •castles in Spain,' I will surely come and bring thee here.   Think of the golden oranges and great luscious grapes, which thou wilt never see in their beauty, till thou seest them here! Think of seeing the Alhambra, with its golden lattice-work, and flowery arabesques! Above all, imagine thyself seated under a fin- tree, leaning on the bosom of thy ever-loving bro¬ ther!"
Poor Esther! This descrijition of a genial climate made Iter sigh; for while she read it, the cold East winds of New England were cutting her wounded lungs likedasger points. But when she answered ihe precious letter, she made no allusions to this. She wrote playfully, concerning the health of the cows and the hens; asked him to inform what was cackle in Spanish, for she reverenced the word, and would fain know it in all langua¬ ges. Finally, she assured him, that she was studying busily, to make herself ready to re¬ side in the grand castle he was building. The tears came in her eyes, as she folded the let¬ ter, but she turned hastily aside, that they might not drop on the paper. Never in her life had she been willing to let her shadow cross his sun-shine.
It was the last letter she ever wrote. She had sought to crown her brother with laurels on earth, and his ministering angel crowned her with garlands in heaven.
Three years afterward, John stood byj her
humble grave in his native village. The tears flowed fast, as he thought lo him.sell, " And [ once blushed for thee, thou great and noble soul, because Ihou wert clothed in a vulgar dress! All, mean, ungrateful wretch that I was! And how sainted was thy life, thou poor one !—A slow grinding martyrdom from beginning to end."
He remembered the wish she had so meek¬ ly expressed, that women might have a more liberal education, and a wider scope for their faculties. "For thy sake, thou dear one," said he, "I will be the friend and brother of all women. To their improvement and ele¬ vation will I consecrate my talent and my education. This is the monument I will build to thee: and I believe thy gentle spirit will bless me for it in heaven."
He sooit after married a young woman, whose character and early history strongly re- semb'ed his beloved sister's. Aided by her, he devoted all his energies to the establish¬ ment of a Normal School for Young Women. .Vlind after mind unfolds under his brotherly care, and goes forth to aid in ihe redemption of woman, and the slow harmonizing of our social discords.
Well might little brown feather-top cackle aloud; for verily her mission wasagreat one.
WANTED TO SEE THE ANIMAL. The publishers of a well known periodical in town, have placed in front of their office, in Treinoiit street, a very extensive sign board, upon which is emblazoned the words— LITTELL'S I.IVIITG AGE- A green horn, fresh caught, who came  to Boston to look at the glorious Fourth, chanc¬ ed lo be passing towards the Common, when his attention was arrested by  the abo'/e cab¬ alistic syllables.   Upon one side of Broomfield street he saw the big sign, upon the other the word ' Museum'
' Wal' said he to himself, ' I've hearn tell o' them museum, but a Hvin' age big or little, must be one o' them curiosities we read about!'
He stepped quietly across the street, and wiping his face, approached one of the win¬ dows, in which were displayed several loose copies of the work. He read upon the covers, ' Littells's Living Age,' and upon a card, ¦' Pop¬ ular Magazine—only one of its kind in the country,' &c.
^Magazine! Wal, that beats thunder all tue smash! I've hearn ahoulpowder maga¬ zines, an' all that. Wal, I reck'n I'll see the critlur, enny how !'—and thus determining, he cautiously approached the door. A young man stood in the entrance.
' When does it open ?' asked the country¬ man.
'What sir?'
' Wot lime does it begin ?' 'Wh-dt?' 'ThiUshol' 'What show?'
'Wy, ihatare—Ihi.-^,' continued our inno¬ cent friend, pointing up to the sign.
The young man evidently supposed the stranger insane—and turning on his heel walk¬ ed into the office.
' Wal, I dun no 'bout that feller much, but I reck'n I hevn't cnm a hundred miles to be fooled—I aini, and 1 am going to see the crit¬ lur, sure.'
'Hello! I say, Mr. Wat's name, there— doorkeeper! Hello I'
A clerk stepped to the door at once, and en¬ quired the man's business.
' Wot do I want ? wy, I want ta see the an- imal, that's all.' ¦ 'What animal?'
'Wy, this critlur .'
' I don't understand you, sir.'  . ' Wal, yey don't luk as if yon could under¬ stand nobody, enny how.   Jes send the door- keper here.'
By this time a crowd had collected in and about the doorway, and the green 'u'n let off something like the following:
' That chap as went in fust thar, ain't no- buddy, ef he has got a swaller-tailed eoat on. My money's as good as his'n, and it's a free country to-day. This young man ain't to be fooled easy, now I tell you. 1 cum down to see the Fourth, and I've seen him. This mornin' I see the olephant, and naow I'm baound to see this critlur. Hello there, mis¬ ter!'
As no one replied to him, however, he ven¬ tured again into the office, with the crowd at his heels, and addressing one of the atten¬ dants, he enquired :
' Wot's the price, nabur?' ' The price of what, sir ?' 'Of the .show?' ' There is no show here'—. 'No show ! Wot'n thunder der yer leave the sign out for, then?'
'What would you like to see, sir?'said another gentleman.
' Why, I want to see the animal.' ' The animal V ' Yes—the critlur.' 'I really do not understand, sir.' ' Why, yes yer dew.   I mean the tooi's name out there,' pointing to the door. 'Where?'
' Heven't yer got a sign over the door of a letlle Hvin''—slimthin,' hereabouts?' ' Littell's Living Age J ' Thai's the critlur—them's nm—trot him out, nabur, and here's yure putty.'
Having discovered tliat he was right (as he supposed) he hopped about, and hatl got near the door again.
Pending the conversation, some rascally wag in the crowd had contrived to attach half a dozen lighted fire-crackers lo the skirl of our green friend's coat,, and as he stood in the atlilude of passing to the suppcsed doorkeep¬ er a quarter—crack! bang! went the fire¬ works, and at the same instant a loafer sung out, at the top of his lungs, 'look eut! thecrit- tur's loose!'
Perhaps the countryman did'nt leave a wide wake behind in that crowd, and may be he did'nt astonish the multitude along Colon- ade row, as he dashed towards the foot of the Common, with his smoking coat tails stream¬ ing in the wind!
Our victim struck a bee-line for the Provi¬ dence Depot, reaching it just as the cars were ready to go out. The crowd arrived as the train got under way, and the last we saw of the ¦ unfortunate,' he was seated at a window, whistling most vociferously to the engine, to hurry it on.—Boston Times.
An Iron Man.—Singular Petrifaction.— On Saturday last, a gentleman brought into Portsmouth, from the Bloom furnace, Scioto county, a part of an Iron Man, found in the ore bed! The body must originally have been petrified in lime, bntof this, thereremainsnow only the outside incrustation, which will crum¬ ble off. What was the man, is now iron. By some natural process, the iron must have grown out of the lime, and is a theme for Ge¬ ologists! How did this change take place?— If we are right, and the facts seem to leave no room for doubt, this Iron Man would af¬ ford one of the most beautiful subjects for a Geological lecture. The iron ore in which it is found, is called the calcareous formation.— The process of its formation would be an in¬ structive study.— Cincinnati Chronicle.
" THE SUMMER IS ENDED." Yes, ' the Summer is Ended.' Autumn has already commenced. The season of decay and death is near. The leaf begins to fall. The verdure of the fields and forests begins to fade. The trees are preparing lo lay aside their foliage. Ere long the forest will be ar¬ rayed in its coal of many colors, and then be divested ol all its clothing. The sun is cast¬ ing a longer shadow. The night encroaches upon the day. We hear no more of burning heals. There is a refreshing coolness in the morning air. It is so pleasant now to labor. Work does not weary as il did. Ah! yes, it is even so; 'the summer is ended.'
'The Summer is ended.' Then let us be thankful for its mercies. Every season brings blessings in its train, and bears witness to the goodness of a gracious God. Every season, therefore, as it passosaway, demands our trib¬ ute of praise to the Great Author of all Good. The Summer of 1847 has been one of pecu¬ liar blessing. A kind Providence has watched over the earth, and with the timely rain aud sun has matured, or brought near to maturity, such an abundance of agricultural riches as the earth probably never saw. Never at least, on these extensive fields of grain, such noble corn and such a prospect of esculents. What charming pastures clothed with flocks! What smiling valleys covered with corn! 'They shout lor joy, itiey also sing.' Let us eat and give God thanks.
'Ttie Summer isended.' And we are still alive. No desolating plague, no destructive pestilence, no wasting fever has visited our shores. "The [migrant, it is true, has suffered as tongue can never tell, but it has not come nigh us. Death, it is true, has not paused in his work. The diseases of the season have not been idle. Nor have they been more dili¬ gent than ordinarily. It has been a Summer of much health, and consequent happiness. God be praised.
' The Summer is ended.' But its sun has nolgone down in gloom. It has set in radiance. Our farmers, our merchants, our tradesmen, our artisans, our laborers, have all been fully occupied, and amply rewarded for their labors. Our ships and smaller craft have whitened the sea, and brought home a rich relurn to their owners. Seldom have we witnessed a Sum¬ mer of such great piosperily. The lines have fallen unto us in pleasant places. We have been blessed in basket and store. The God of Summer let iis praise.
' The Summer is ended.' And with it are ended the lives of many a friend, and lovely companion, and fellow-pilgrim. Many who began the bright season with us are now sleep¬ ing their last sleep. The whistling winds and howling tempests of the season of storm, will not disturb the deep repose into which they have fallen. The rustling of the withered leaf, and the chill autumnal blast will fall up¬ on their ear no more. Man goelh lo his long home and the mouiners go about the streets. We all do fade as a leaf. All flesh is grass, and the goodliness therof as the flower of the Held. The grass witherelh, the flower fadeth. The grave is our common home.
' Princes! this clay must be your bed,
In spite of all your towers : The tall, the wise, ihe reverend Jicad, Must lie as low as ours.' Where are the venerable forms of O'Cunnel and  Chalmers  now?     Where  the  wealthy Stuyvesanl?—Where the honored Wright, so recently a sanguine candidate for the people's highestgift?    Gone—allgone!    Aiidsomust we.    We  must all stand before God.    'Pre¬ pare,' my soul, to meet him.
'The summer is ended.' Ah! to how many in the world ol spirits is this a thought of an¬ guish! They had a summer season once, but it is gone; a harvest-day,biil they slept it away. And now their unavailing cry is heard,—' The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved!' Our summer is not yet gone. We have a harvest yet lo reap.— Let ns work while il is day. The night Com¬ eth. The winter is at hand. [N. Y. Evan¬ gelist.

THE TRIAL OE CHRIST.
A Late Mobmon Miracle.—The Ottoway Free Trader gives a curious account of a late miracle performed by a Mormon 'Elder.' It appears the prophet Strange needed a new house, and he determined his followers should build il for him. So he told them that in consideration that they would erect the house, the Lord had authorized him lo promise ari extraordinary endowment. Thebnildiiijj was soon completed, and now they apply for their reward. All the saints are i;athered together in the church, the prophet takes them through a variety of ceremonies, such as head wash¬ ing, feet washing, &c., and concludes by aii- noiuling the heads of all with a composition 'that had a queer smell.' Thoy nre then di¬ rected lo adjourn lo another room that was to¬ tally daiU, wheio th,.y u-i'ri: lo r.'.ciMVC. the nn-
dowmenl, which was to be in the shape of an e.xtraordinary and visible mani.'eslalion of the spirit, rendering them at once impregnable henceforth lo all the shafts of Satan. Arrived in the dark room, sure enough the heads of all shone as if lit up by the brightness of the sun and great was the rejoicingol the saints there¬ at. But the prophet William, who was pres¬ ent, although staggered a little, raistrnsted that' all was not gold that glittered,' so he took some of the ointment and subinilted it lo an examination, and lo the discovery! He found it was a mi.xture of oil and phosphorus! and hence that the whole illuminating opera¬ tion was a cheat. Ho took the first opportu¬ nity to accuse prophet Strange publicly and be¬ fore the whole congregation of the imposition, who so far from denying it, coolly acknowledg¬ ed the corn, and then preached a sermon jus¬ tifying the act, and maintaining that all the miracles of Christ, Moses, &c.,"were wrought in the same way—that is, by natural means. Ofcourso, William could no longer hold fel¬ lowship with such a man.
From Ihe r\';n:uiial J-'ra.
'PAY VilAT THOU OWEST.' We have often been surprised at the remiss¬ ness, even of men of professedly correct prin¬ ciples, in not punctually discharging the obli¬ gations they have voluntarily assumed. A man is called upon lo subscribe to some be¬ nevolent enterprise. After hearing the state¬ ments made by applicant, he subscribes a cer¬ tain 3um,to be paid early in the year. The mon¬ ey does not come. He is written to once and again. Still he neglects lo redeem his prom¬ ise. Perhaps he is angry, if he has to pay pos¬ tage on the letters thus addressed lo him. He may think, probably erroneously, that the money is not wanted ; that the enterprise, started and hitherto sustained by the money of those who subscribed with himself, and who promptly paid their subscriptions, can get along without his help. Or he may have oth¬ er excuses. If he has a valid e.xcuse, he should make it known without delay to the proper person.
Publishers of newspapers and other period¬ icals often suffer by such unwarrantable neg¬ ligence. Men in trade fretiuently are greatly injured in this way. We remember a story told of a large country merchant, who was in¬ debted to the city merchant for the goods he sold to small traders in the counlry where he resided. One of them wrote him a long let¬ ter, giving a variety of reasons for not fulhlling his promise. The person lo whom it was ad¬ dressed replied, that he would forward the let¬ ter to his creditor in the city; and if he would receive it in lieu of a cash remittance, it would answer the purpose, not otherwise. We may all take a useful hint from this anecdote.— Reader! will you ?

of  our SAVIOUR before Pontius

lylR liANDl.S takes pleasure m announcing lo ^''- the public, that this beauiiful group had his whole attention, logethcr wiili iliat of several of ihe most TAi.ENTsn AKTis'rs for some months past; am. he flailers himself iliat for correctness of expression combined wiih iniihrnl annumcy, it will far excel! anyihing of the kind ever exhibited here.
This splendiil group is llie production of a CEl.E- Br.ATF.i) An^risT, and is intended to represent iliai moment in tlie Trial ol our Saviour, when Cuiaph- as says to him, "I adjure thee by the living Goil iliat ihon icll us wheiher tliou be Christ the son ol tioil.'' .Ti'sus answers, "Thou hast said: never¬ theless I say iinio you, hercafrer shall yc see the son of man silling on the right hand of power, and coming in ilie clouds of Heaven."
This w|as equivalent lo calling himself the son ol GoiI, which ni" course was considered. by ihe High Priests as blasphemy; nnd he immediately raised his hands in alfecled horror and says, " He hnth spoken blasphemy: what liinher have we need ol wiincssest Behold now ye have heard his blasphe¬ my."
'I'lii: scene illustrates the appearance 61 the Ro¬ man Co;irt, under Pontius Pilalc, uid the Jewish Court, under Caiaphas, the High Priest; and the group in costume, and dccoraiions of the times are in sirici accordance with ancient history.
The Trial scene will bo exhibited in connection v.'illi the Museum; and notwithstanding the great expense attending the gelling np this grand specta¬ cle, the admiitance as usual will be but 25 cents.

Suicide in Jail.—A man in Si. Louis, who was imprisoned for having assaulted his wife, whilst he was laboring under the effect of in¬ toxication, was found in his cell, in a state of stupor. (Dn e.xarainalion it was found that he had taken some powerful narcotic. A note on a chair by his side explained all. Tired of life, he had taken a large doses of opium.— Other papers, one of which was addressed to the public, entered into an e.xplanation of the causes wliich led lo the rash act. It is scarce¬ ly necessary to say that of these ardent spirits was the principal. He earnestly warns. the world against moderate drinking, and says that al 1 his misfortunes have sprang from this vice.
