PROPHECIES OF THE SEASON,

—

Where late the meadows flushed with bloom, Atid daisy flakes were white as snow,

The spectre, shades of autumn gloom, Prophetic wander to aud fro.

The hills, so long encrowned with green, A browner garb begin to wear ;

Gay summer half inclined to screen Her beauty from the daylight’s glare,

The woods full leayed stand waiting nigh, Their verdure touched with crimson stains, Yet loth to lay their honors by, As age to part with all its gains.

A sadder note from grove and glen,

W hereto the robin’s young have flown; While mournfully the little wren

Pipes through the faded leaves alone.

The brook, that prattled one sweet tone When semmer’s mist was soft and dim, Keeps up a low ineessant moan, That times with Nature’s graver hymn.

Above yon mountain's rocky side, The wary hawk swings round and round, A friendless rover, winged with pride, That scorns the touch of kiadred ground.

These, these are but the first faint signs Of autumn’s presence ;—day by day

She draws in bright but faded lines The picture of her own decay.

Curnran.—The career of Curran, the celebrated Irish orator, furnishes an apt illustration of the results of energy and perseverance in overcoming physical and mental defects, Curran did not possess those natural gifts which are supposed to be necessary to success as a debater. Lu preparing bim- self for the position to which his ambition had aspired, he

| was obliged to grapple with difficulties which would have

discouraged any would-be orator of less sanguine tempera- ment. Poverty,—-one of the most depressing evils with which genius has to contend,—was by no weans the least of these difficulties. ‘ His voice,” says one of bis biographers, ‘was bad, and his articulation so hasty and confused, that he went among his school fellows by the name of * stuttering

ted only to produce laughter, notwithstanding the evidence he gave of superior abilities. Ail these faulis he overcame by severe and patient labour. Constantly on the watch against bad habits, he practised daily before a glass, reciting passages from Shakespeare, Junius, and the best English orators.” He succeeded completely in conquering his bad habits and innate defects, and. in the words of one of his friends, * he turned his shrill and stambling brogue into a flexible, sustained, and fively njedulated voice; bis action vecame free and forcible; he acquired perfeet readiaess in thinking on his legs.” We need not particularise his course of study, but will merely quote the remark of one of his biographers, that “ his oratori¢al training was as severe as apy Greek cver underwent.” asin illegible

How ro Cor Grass witn A Piece or Iron. —Draw with

a pencil on paper any pattern to which you would have the ziass conform; place the pattern under the glass, holding aoth together in the left hand (for the glass must not rest on any plain surface ;) then take a common spike, or some similar piece of ion, keat the point of it to redness, and apply it to the edge of the glass; draw the iron slowly for- ward, and the edge of the giass will immediately crack ; continue moving the iron slowly over the glass, tracieg the pattern, and the clink in the glass will follow at the dis:ance of about half an inch, in every direction, according to the motion of the iron. It may sometimes be found requisite, however, especially in forming corners, to apply a wet finger to the opposite side of the glass. Tumblers and other glasses may be cut or divided very fancifully by similar means. The iron must be heated as often as the crevice in the glass ceases to follow.— Scientific American. - ee os i

A Vittace or Arsentc Marers.—A stream called Whit- beck, rising in the Blackeombe Mountains, in West Cumber- land, contains arsenic in determinable quantity. The arsenic

is most probably derived from veins of arsenical cobalt ore, ‘through which it percolates; for a few yards above the

source of the beck there is the entrance of a mine which is very rich in arsenical ore. The arsenical water is habitually used for every purpose by the inhabitants of the little village of Whitbeck, and with beneficialresults so apparent that one might be justified in paradoxically characterising it as a very wholeeome poison, the deadly elements in dilution being pro- ductive of the most sanitary effects! Ducks will not live if covfined to the Whitbeck, and while trout abound in all the neighbouring rivulets, no fins are ever found in the arsenicated stream. Bat its use by the villagers does not give rise to any symptoms of arsenica! poisoning, but rather to the effects which are observed in Syria among the arsevic-eaters there. Whea the railway was being carried past Whitbeck the first use of the water produced the usual marked effects on the throat both of the men and horses employed on the works.

The soreness of mouth from which they at first suffered soon, however, disappeared, and the horses gave rise to that sleck- |

néwpef coat assigned ds one of the effects produced by the administration of minute but repeated doses of arsenic. It is a question how far the rosy looks of the Whitbeck child-

ren, aud the old age which a large propertion of the inhabi-

tants of the village attain. are to be attributed to the arsenic present in the water.— Westmorland Cazette. ik i acer sats

Scaypau 1s Hicu Lirs.—Tke return of the Boseawen has i given publicity to aa affair of the most painful character. | Lt will be recollected that the Governor of the Cape, Sir |Gev. Grey, with Lady Grey, took passage to the Uolony in

the Forte, 50, serew, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral the

(fon, Sir HU. Keppel, the oewly appointed commander-in- |

| chief of the station. Ona the passage, circumstances came to ithe knowledge of Sir George which resulted in the landing lof her Ladyship at Rio, aud his Excellency proceeded to the | Cape, leaving bis wile to return te England. Immediately,

| the Forte reached the colony, Admirai Keppel shifted bis |

flag to the Brisk, and proceeded toa distant part of his

lstation. The affair, we understand, has cast a shaje over

| popular ; and it is felt that either bis Excellency the Governor

or the Admiral must retire, if the latter be not superseded by the authorities at home, or the interests of the colony would suffer from the impossibility of there existing any cordial undersianding between the two chiefs after such an occurrence as that referred to.— Morning Herald.

When Florence N ghtingale arrived at Boulogne, a few.

wecks sinee, her baggage was transported, without fee or reward, tothe hotel by the female porters who throng the wharves of that p'ace. Tuey were glad to honour the‘ orna- ment of their sex,” and the ornament was not only very much delighted, but she saved a shilling by the transaction.

Weatra or tae Prince cr Wates.—It may not be un- interesting to know, that irrespective of the Prince being heir to the throne of Great Britain, which 1s certainly a most dis- tinguished position, he ts also one of the richest young men of the age, and bas cash property at this tine ever £700,000 ir- respective of this accamulating estate.

‘This vast stin has arisen from the surplus revenues from the estates ofghe Duchy ot Corawa!!, to whieh he became entitied

immediately afier ve was born, and which have been accumu- |

lating with interest from that time, and this fand will go on increasing until he, a3 other subjects of the Queen, attain the age of twenty-one, so that by that time the amount of money he will stand posseesed of wili be nearly £1,000,000 sterling in hard cash.

It has been uswal to Cons der the Princes of the Royal Fa- intly of aze at ergh'een, but the Queen in this instance, az she bas in a'l other matters, as a good mother, has not allowed her

chiidren any more privileges than are enjoyed by others of

her subjects.

Tue Broraer Painces--[t is donbtful whether two ado- lescent gentlemen, noble or simple, ever enjoyed aa much and as genuine popularity at the same tine a3 within the last s)x weeks has been lavished on the brother princes of England in Ainerica and Africa—iu Canada and at the Cape of Good Hope—on Albert by Nova Scouans, Newbrunswickers, Cana- dians, and Yaokkes of every variety—on Alfred by English-

men, Dutchmen, Malays, Hottentots, Mozanbiques, Kafiirs, |

Fingoes, Boors, and the descendenis of French refugees. - While Albert Edward is opening the gqgpd Victoria bridge across the St. Lawrence, bis younger brother, the sailor-prince, is laying the foundatiom stone of theJstupendous breakwater and the new harbor works for Table Bay; and even as the Prince of Wales stands in an usaffected attitude of reverence before the tomb of Washington, the boy Alfred wins hs way

to the hearts of the stubborn Dutch haters cf his government, | lays corner-stones for sailors’ homes, and inaugurates public |

| libraries at Cape Town. | With the world between them, the brothers revel, too—in ‘their modest, wel!-bred way—in ovations which sound so much

alike, in the unsuggestive inention of them we find in the Lon- | don papers, that it is easy to forget that they are as antipodal, |

as to their forms, as the localities in which they are proffered. A buck liunt on the Amsterdam Flats, such as Prince Alfred assisted at, does not differ inore curiously from a buffilo chase ona Missouri prairie, for the entertainment of the Prince of | Wales, than a ball or a review at Cape l'own, Natal, or Port Elizabeth differs from a similar frolic or show at Toronto, St. | Louis or Philadelphia. It was a wise and kindly thought that sent these royal youths

to the ends of the earth, seeking fortunes of friendship and al- |

liance; and it is easy tc imagine that, like the Corsican Bro- thers. they correspond, however far apart, by a magnetc chord | of Policy.—Philadelphia Inquirer.

| Some idea may be formed of the extent of the London bookbinding trade in the nineteenth century, when we state the weekly consumption of leaf gold, enriching the exterior of books, amounts to about 3,600,000 square inches ; and that the weight of paper shavings sold annua!ly by the London binders, cut off the edges of books, amouuts to 850 tons!

A TaxoLocrcaL Dargkey.—A Southern gentleman owned a slave, a very intelligent fellow, who was a Universalist.

On one occasion he illustrated the intellectual character of

bis religion in the following manner, A certain slave had obtained a license of the Baptiststo preach. He was holding forth in the présence of many of his colored bretiren at one time, when he undertook to deseribe the process of Adam’s creation. Said he, “ When God made Adam, he stooped down, scraped-up-a little dirt, wet it a little, warm it a little in his bands, and squeeze jt in de right shape, and den lean it up against de fence to dry—" “ Top dere,” said our Universalist darkey. *‘ You say dat is de fustest man eber made?” Sarten,” said the preacher. ‘ Den,” said the other, “jest tell a feller whar dat ar fence come from :? “Hush!” said the preacher ; ‘* two morr. questions like dat would spile all de feology in de world.”

It was ex- pected that these operations would all be concluded by to day (Saturday.) The ship appears to have lost none of her at- tracijons, and the receipts per week may be set down at £500 clear.

Wantep Common Sensz.—A I[rishman out West, conceiv- ing that a little powder thrown upon some greea wood would facilitate its buruing, directed a small stream from a keg upon the smoking pile ; but not possessing a hand sufficient- ly quick to cut this off at the desirable moment, was blown into a million pieces. Tue coroner for the occasion reasoned out this verdict: It can’t be called suicide, bekase be didn’t mean to kill himself; it warn’t ‘ visitation of God,” bekase he wan’t struck by lightuin’; he dido’t dic for want of breath, for he hada’t anything Jett to breathe with; it’s plain be didu’t know what he was about; so L shall bring in, died for want of common sense.”
