WHEN THE LEAVES ARE TURN
ING- BROWN.
Never is my heart so gay
In the budding month of May,
Never does it beat a tunc
Half so sweet in bloomy June,
Never knows such happiness
As on Sueli a day as this,
When October dons her crown,
And the leaves are turning brown.
Breathe, sweet children, soft regrets
For the vanished violets ;
Sing, you lovers, the delights
Of the golden summer nights;
Never in the summer hours
On my way such radiance showers
As fi-om heaven falls softly down
When the leaves are turning brown.
Braid your girdles, fresh and gajv
Children in the bloom of May ;
Twist, your chaplets in young June,
Maidens, they will fade full soon ;
Twine ripe roses, July red,
Lovers, for the dear one's head ;
I will weave my richer crown
When the leaves are turning brown !
Wit and Justice in Missouri.
It is well known that some of the judges
in Missouri are very reluctant to enforce
the law against ministers of the gospel for
exercising their profession without having
taken the test oath, and avail themselves
of 'every pretense to discharge those who
arc accused. We tell the following tale as
it is.told us, vouching for nothing :
Three ministers, charged with the crime
of preaching “the glorious gospel of the
son of God,” were arraigned before a
judge. They were regularly indicted,
and it was understood that the proof
against them was very clear.
‘Are you a preacher?' said the judge to
one of them.
‘Yes sir/ replied the culprit.
‘To what denomination do you belong?’
‘I am a Christian,’ (with dignity,)
‘A Christian ! what do you mean by
that? Are not all preachers Christians?’
‘1 belong to the sect usually called, but
wrongly, Canipbellites.’ (Not so much
O J )
‘All ! then you believe in baptizing
people in order that they may be born
again, do you?' .
•I do sir.’ (Defiantly.)
•Mr Sheriff, discharge that man ! lie
is an innocent man ; he. is indicted for
preaching the gospel, and there is not a
word of gospel in the stuff that he preach
es ; it’s only some of Alexander Camp
bell's nonsense.' Discharge him.’
‘Are you a preacher?’ said the judge,
addressing the next miscreant.
‘I am sir,’ said the criminal.
‘Of what denomination are you?'
‘I am a mothodist sir.’ (His looks
showed it)
‘Do you believe in falling from grace:’
‘I do ,sir.’ (Without hesitation.)
‘Do you believe in sprinkling people in
stead ,.of baptising them?’; . ,
•1 believe that people can be baptized
by sprinkling. (Much offended.)
‘Do you believe in baptizing babies?’
‘It is my opinion sir, that infants ought
to be babtized. (Indignantly.)
‘Not a word of scripture, or anything oi
the kind, sir !' shouted his honor. "Mr
Sheriff turn that Than loose! lie is ni;
preacher of the gospel. The,gospel is the
truth, and there is npt a word of truth in
what tlwt. man teaches Turn him loose.
Methodist disappears, not at. all hurt in
his feelings by the judicial abuse lie had
received.
‘ What arc you sir?’ said the judge t(
the third felon.
i ‘Some people call me a preacher sir
! (Meekly)
■ w nat is y/nir aenomiuawoii.
; ‘I a ill a Baptist.’ ([lead up)
Hit honor’s countenance loll, and In
looked sober and sad. After a pause he
said.
i ‘Do you believe in salvation by grace?
j ‘1 do.’ (firmly.)
‘Do you teach that immersion only ii
baptism?1 •
‘That is my doctrine.’ (Earnestly.)
‘And you baptise noire but those win
believe in if.esus Christ?’
‘That is my .faith and practice.’ (M’itl
1 emphasis.) t <
! ‘My friend, I fear it will go hard will
j you. 1 see you are indicted t\h preachinj
S the gospel, and it appears to me that b;
your own confession, that you are guilty,
Baptist looked pretty blue
‘May it please your honor,’ said tin
Baptist’s counsel, springing to his feet
I ‘that man never preached the gospel,
have beard him say a hundred times tha
he only tried. I have beard him try my
self.’ y
‘Mr. Sheriff, discharge this man. He’
not indicted for trying ’ There’s nothin;
said about the mere effort Let him g
sir 1 I am astonished that the State’s at
torney should., annoy the Court with frivc
lous indictments.’
Exit Baptist, determined to try again
Court adjourned.
“God save the State and this honorahl
Court I’’
“Amen !” said the three preachers.
| East Mode of Sharpening Edo
-j Topi-S.—The simplest method of sharp
j suing a razor or other edge tools, is t
place the blade for about a half an hou
i in water containg one twoutith ofits weigh
of Sulphuric or muriatic acid. Upo
taking the razor out, wipe it off lightly o
a piece of soft rug \ and in a lew houi
afterwards “set” it on a strap. The aci
supplies the place of a whetstone, by coi
1 roding the entire surface uniformly, s
1 that nothing but a good polish is afterward
; needed. This process never injures goo
razors, whilst poor ones arc often improve
l by it.
The Instability of Life
That life is uncefain, and death tiriAvoida
ble. is a maxim which, though all admit
to be true, all seem willing to forget. It
is a maxim winch lias been so often reiter
ated, that none can be ignorant of it; and
ifauy were disposed to disregard' it, file
perpetual occurrences - of its fulfilment
might be sufficient for its establishment ad
an eternal truth. Granting, then that it
be true, is it not a matter of such cpt)s6;
epic nee as to demand our most, serious at
tention? Can any one bestow on it ev.cn
the slightest consideration without-leering
its importance- —without perceiving that,
regarding it merely as relating to a com
plete removal from this world and all its
concerns, independently of the reward or
punishment which is to follow, it is U poiut
of the utmost importance? Can anyone
reflect, as on a matter of no concern, on
the being separated from all those whom
lie loves, and by whom he is beloved?
Can he disregard the tears which will be i
shed, and the sighs which will burst from
the bosoms of those whom filial or fraternal
affection have bound to him ? Can he
think unmoved that lie will no more aug
ment their joy or soothe their grief—tb'af
whatever danger may threaten! them, li¥
can no longer, lend his assistance to avert
it, and that whatever, blessings may oou
! juin to make them happy, will bo embitter
ed by the reflection that he is not a sharer
in them ? He who can think on this
without emotion, is more or less than man
Yet these arc the c'oiisdijttenqe's of that
event, the occurrence of which to every
one is certain, and the period at, which it
shall take place is unknown Can it be
denied, then, that this is a matter demam
ding our most serious attention ? llirtfhe
departure from this world, however affec
tion or friendship may endcaV it to ns,
must ever be considered', by the virtuous,
as a cause of joy, since it removes them
from regions of darkness aipl of sin to
! realms of light and purity. Surely, then;
lie who wishes to make eveu his death con
J tribute to the happiness of tlioso whom be
loveci wiiiie living, win cuiiuultl liimweu
ill this life as to leave no anxious doubtings
on their minds with respect, to his welfare
. in the life eternal. He will act so that at
i the end he may look hack with tranquility.
! and forward with rapture, without regret
i for the past or fear for tlm future. Hut
i (he disposition of mind' necessary for the
| attainment of a life productive of this'des
irable conclusion, Cannot be acquired ex
cept by a frequent and stirious eonsideia
tion, and a firm conviction of the truth of
the above maxim: sinecq without sq’cn
conviction the highest incentive to virtue
would he wanting. It is, then, not only
the duty, but the interest of every cue to
reflect in a manner suitable to the impor
tance of the subject, on the Uncertainty of
the present life, arrd on the consequent
; necessity of being prepared for the change
' which wc know must take place at some
period, how near or how remote we are,
j by an all-wise Hrovideugq,, kept ignorant
I of. Nor can the wisdom which dictates
! this concealment he impeached. Wert
\ the time at which our dissolution should
1 occur known to us, its remoteness, if dis
tant, would breed indolent security, or its
suddenness, if near, occasion terrors which
; would prevent preparation for if.
Pleasures of Middle Age.
Between successful and unsuccessful
there is a vast difference of ease and com
fort. Tt i-, therotore, bettor to he sue
j cessful, though enough of success is pre'ty
nearly as good as a feast, And the same
; rule of compromise holds’ good in other
matters. 'J’o take.and enjoy domestic'af
fection without being too fond of passion
ate romance is one obvious Hesson that
1 middle age teaches. Another is to he
ready to accept sometmgg short ot com
plcte victory in contests gi’ opinion. At
the outset of lii'e, we all hope to he uhle to
convince and to convert the world, or the
public, or our neighbors, or, at all events,
our1 friends. We feel a difficulty in acting
, with men whose views about‘feligiori or
morality or polities differ materially from
our own. If we went through our career
I in such a temper, Wc should fare as'badly
as the man in the thoroughfares of Lou
don who could not bear a crowd. Life is
I made up as middle age discovers, of giving
’ and of taking, and the first principle of the
great art of association and mutual help is
, to leant what is all-important and what is
sufficiently immaterial and secondary to
admit of being sacrificed for the end we
[ have in view. Whether it be in a club,
or a partnership* or a parish, or a diocese,
or a public meeting, or a political party.
, the truth holds good that to move power
, fully and effectually we ought to be able ft
’ i move with as little friction as possible, and
i the only way to lessen individual friction
is for individuals to smooth down theji
rough edges. ,

Charles Dickens.,relates the follow
ing of Dougins Jcrrdld:
••Of his generosity f had ri proof
within these two or three years, which
it saddens me to. think of no\y, There
had been .estrangement between ,us—
not on any persoiiUl subject, and hot
involving angry words—‘and a good
many months had passed, without my
ever seeing him in the streets, when it
fell out that we dined; each with his
own separate pftrtv, in the Sfi-nngef’s
Doom of the Club. Ohl’ chairs were
almost back to back, and I took mine
after Ijc was seated and at dinner (I am
sorry to remember,) and did not look
that way. Before we had sat long, he
hpenl v ■ wheeled his chair around,
stretched out' both hands, mud said
ftipud, with; a.bright and loving face,
that 1 can see asl write to you : ‘Lot us
he friends again. A life is not long
enough fob this.’”
Jerrold was not a Christian, but his
conduct in this case, was worthy of a
Christian character. On a dying bed
how insignificant will appear tfiariy
things about Which we contend in
bitterness and wrath) Life is too
short, its inevitable .sorrows s,o many,
its responsibilities so vast and solemn,
that there' is Indeed, no time to spare in
abusing and rtiadigning one another.
Let not the sun go down on your wmtli.
Never close your, eyes to sleepnwith
your heart angry towards your brother
