tMMMl TIJK FALL OF TREE LEAVES. See the leaves around us falling, Dry and withered on the ground, As from the tomb upon us calling; Vain mortals listen to the sound! IIen of high and strong ambition, Basking warm in fortune's smile, Look upon our changed condition; Late were we gay in nature's wilds. As men with wealth and power favored, Dwelling in luxury and ease, "Ve were stationed highly favored, The clothing green of all the trees. Seated high upon the branches, Nourished by the sun and rain; But when the season cold advances, All, all our greatness was but vain. By a killing frost we're blighted, By the cold our color changed; In one common fate united, On the ground we li deranged! Torn from our places by the wind, And by the rain all beaten down; But nature's laws none can rescind, Our color's changed from green to brown! Ye poor who live on scanty fare, And envy much the store of others; Life f support, your daily care, All! like us in death are brother! jtfaidens, much too much presuming On your boasted white and red, View us, late in beauty blooming, Numbered now among the dead! Seek you, then, a better dwelling, A house on high not made with hands, Free from sin, in love excelling, Where dwell the just the angel bands. EPIGRAM. A father was saying, To his son disobeying, No father e'er had so wicked a son; "Yes, yes," says the lad, "I remember, good dad, My grandfather he had just such a one." Bolicar,(Tenn.)July 12.. .A few days since, Esquire M'Kinz t of H-irdernnn county, misled n liitle son 5 or G years of nge. On interrogating a negro girl in hs employ, belonging to the estate of James H. Sheppnrd, she informed him thai he had gone to a grocery, some short distance oft; he made immediate search, but the lad could not he found. Owing to a circumstance that had tran spired a few weeks previous, lie became alarmed. He had a spring with a hnr Tel sunk in it for the purpose of getting water with more facility, in which this same girl said she accidentally found one of his younger children, a liitle boy about 3 years of age, but from the place lhnt the girl said she saw t he child in the spring, and from what the link boy aaid on bring restored to animation, E equin lM'Kinza was induced to believe the girl had put him in. He then interro gated theoirl ajrain, ami she told him he Lad oni5 somewhere else; but he imme diately repaired to the spring and found thy lad in the barrel, standing on his feet, viih his head under water. The girl has since confessed that for some trivial Cause she induced him to go into the barrel and that she held his head under the water until he was drowned. She now stands committed for trial. Singular. The following circum stance has been related to us as hnvinn- laiely occurred in the neighborhood of i uuKiiannock, Luzerne county. We do not vouch for the correctness of the sto ry, though it is said to be strictly true. A little child begged of its .mother a piece of cake, and on receiving it, im mediately went out of the house. A short time afterwards, the mother sought the child, whom she found a little way from the house amusing itself with feed ing the cuke to a large rattle snake. The snake, with its head elevated nearly to tliH height of the child's head, was re ceiving with much apparent satisfaction from the hand of the unconscious child, the rhumbs of cake which it broke oft and put into hia snukeship's mouth. The alarm of the mother, as might rea sonably be expected, was very great on seeing her child put its fingers into the mouth of so dangerous a creature as the rattle snake; but retaining a proper pres ence of mind she persuaded the child to come to her, and then pursued and kill ed the snukc. Montrose Pa. Vol. Extraordinary Case. A young lady of the name of McMillan in Upper Can ada, eloped with a young man by the name of Kennedy. They embarked in a canoe, arrived on the American si Je of the St. Lawrence, and were married at Massena by a magistrate. They were overtaken about two hours after the mar riage by i he step father and uncle of the young lady, with whom she very willing ly returned to her friends. She was af terwards placed at her own request, in a Nunnery at Montreal. Kennedy had the young lady brought before the Court ij ot Kings IJench, held tor Montreal (lis-. trict, in last month bv a writ of habeas corpus. The Judge having, heard the parties, and read the affidavits on both sides, decided that as Miss McMillan was not detained against her will, the writ of habeas corpus did not apply to her case especially as she could leave the Convent when she pleased, and she declared she did not wish to be restored to Kennedy. 05"Priiice Murat, in his Sketch of the United States, gives the following ac count of slavery in the southern States: "In all countries and at all tines, a great majority of mankind is condemned to subsist by labor, and 1 have lot the least doubt that this portion of society is much more happy and more usefil in a state of slavery than any other. Com pare the lot of our negroes, well cothed, well fed, with no care for the morrnv and no anxiety for their family, compan them, I say not with the degraded raceof free negroes and mulattoos, having the whole weight of liberty without a single one of its advantages, but with the while la borers of Europe, working twice cy thrice as much, and constantly on the v?rge of starvation, both them and their hmilies. I have no hesitation in saying hat our negroes are not only much happbr than the operatives of the English matufactu ring towns, but even of the peasaitry ge nerally throughout Europe."

ISAAC IV. IIORNR Jan. 1833. 2.'J Fanaticism. A Loudon correspond ent of the Journal of Commerce says: That madman or fanatic, Irving is not contented with the notoriety of tie "ma nifestations," tho hidoous howling of "the tongues," and tho disgrace whhh he is Drinking upon all religion, but io must attempt something wilder and nore hor rible than any of his previous tcts. A few days ago he caused it to b? known i hat he h id the power of restoring life, and actually two or three infaits were brought to him apparently dead, which he succeeded in restoring to atimation. Now it is generally believed tint some drug was given to the infants, and when its power passed away, they :ame to themselves, One child was biought to him by a poor woman, who bad heard of his miraculous powers, and he prayed over its body for nearly two hotrs with out effect, and then informed tin unhap py mother that God would not grant his request, because she was an uibeliever in his doctrines. Is not this dreadful? I am almost ashamed of the country that has produced, and can tolerate such fla grant instances of the rankest blasphemy. New theory of the Globe. A French philosopher has come to the conclusion, thaMhere are but three planetar bodies, the Son, the Moon, and the Earth! And that all the other planets are only catop ric illusions.
