February 27, 1S57,
From Frazcr's Magazine.
Antumualia.
The tints of the summer are fading fast,
And the sere leaves are falling with every blast ;
And I think at the close of each shortening dav,
That another bright summer has past away ! "
It has past, like the rest, with its hopes and its fears,
Now brightened by smiles, now bedimuied by tears,
It has past, like the rest, with its pleasure and pain
And, like them, it must never return agaiu.
The fast falling leaves and these withering flowers
Aie an emblem of man and his fleeting hours ;
For he basked for a whik :n the sun's bright ray.
And the summer of life has pas., away.
And the autumn of life is chill and drear,
When like leaves of the forest our hopes appear.
As they droop one by one from the withering spray
And the autumn of life has past away !
And the winter of life is sad and cold,
When the feelings are dull and the heart grown old,
And we long tor the rest that the weary shall have
Iu the silence and gloom of the passionless gravoj
Bnt the grass of the grave-can new flowerets send forth ;
And the soul of the just haih a refuge of worth;
And the spring of eternity blossoms for aye ;
And its leaves never tade, nor its blossonis decay.
Though the sun never shines in those regions so bright,
Yet the Lamb that was slain is their shadowless light;
And the (lavement if sapphires can never be dim,
For 'tis bright with the radiance reflected from Him.
Unfading the glories, unsated the heart
The one uever flash, nor the other depart.
And the eye never tires, though unbounded the view;
And the joys, though unchanging, forever are new.
The muse on the emblems of earthly decay
Can trace, 'mid the darkness, a promise of day ;
And hear, 'mid the rustliug of sere leaves aud flowers,
The harps of the angels in amaranth bowers.
When we Husked the Corn.
October scorching fires the trees,
And naked lies the shivering vine ;
While dimly o'er the distant seas
The fading lights of summer shine.
Along the lane the negro blows
Deep summons on his noonday horn,
And homeward troop the girls and beans
From husking of the corn.
I mind me well that autumn day,
When, five and twenty years ago,
We turned our labor into play.
And husked the corn for neighbor Lowe.
Ah ! wife, we were the blithest pair
That e'er to wedded love were born ;
Tor I was gay and you were fair,
A husking of the corn.
The following is having quite a run at present:
' Spuxk. The North American Review tells the
following good story :
A countryman of ours, of somewhat rude appear
ance, walking on the Strand early in May, saw his
favorite dish of strawberries and cream blushing at
him from a counter of a restaurant. Entering, he
carelessly called for a bowl, to the marked surprise
of several persons present, who knew the extrava
gance of the luxury, and rightly supposed the Amer
ican was ignorant at what cost he was putting him
self. He had not finished his repast before the curious
looks of the company suggested his mistake, and
aroused all his latent pride.
" What is to pay ?" inquired he, as he laid down
his dish, not without a lowering side look at the
wiseacres who waited for bis chop-fallen aspect when
the victualler's reply should fall upon his waiting
ear.
" A guinea, sir."
Tossing down the coin from a not over-full purse,
and bringing up with an air of assumed indiffer
ence, " I'll take another !" was the American's only re
joinder." Rather a weak brother, that ! Hay-seed still in
his hair. When he has travelled a little further, he
will learn that if a man has all the " spunk " in the
world, he need not spend money foolishly just to as
tonish half a dozen of the gaping mob of London.
And yet we like such a story it is a study, sir, of
character, and shows a national folly m a very char
acteristic light
The fighting Parson TJroivnlow, tired of black
guarding the Democrats of Tennessee, proposes to
lick foratorically) all Abolitiondom. He writes to
the New York Times that he designs stumping New
England. His errand, as he explains it, is a legiti
mate one, and will undoubtedly do good. He is just
the man to be pitted against Henry Ward lieecher.
But we will let him explain what he proposes to do
in Sew Lneland :
In the spring I propose visiting the New England
States, and repeating the same lecture. In other
words, I propose to go among you as a Southern
Missionary, to enlighten your benighted Free-soil
population on the subiect of slavery. 1 iook upon
the cities and towns of the New England States and
of the North-western States as opening a wider and
more inviting field, at this time, for faithful mission
ary labors than Hindostan, Ueylon, Uhtna, or West
ern Africa ! In addition to your wicked and rebel
lious course upon the slavery question, you have for
gotten the true God and the Christian religion, and
gone off after Spiritualism, Fanny Wrightism, Four
ierism, Mormonism, Abolitionism, Devilism and the
hundred-and-one isms so spontaneously produced by
JNew England soil I
I hope, gentlemen, you will do me the favor to
publish this hastily written letter, ana your Black
Republican associates the kindness to let them know
I am coming. They may wish to muster up one of
your Beecners or Parkers to reply to me. 1 will at
vide time with any oneof yourioiMfreedom-shriek-
ers. Respectfully yours,
W. G. BROWNLOW,
Editor of the Knoxville' Whig.

' A Cup or Cold Water.' In one of the interior
provinces of India, there is said to be a man who,
every morning, goes to a distant trough standing by
the road side, and filling it with water, returns to his
aaiiy duties, ihe caravans passing that way call
and slake their thirst he never knows whom he
blesses, and they never know their benefactor. He
is satisfied that some weary pilgrims are refreshed
uy ms Kindness, but who they are it matters not.
J. hey will never return to reward him personally.
but his reward is the consciousness of having done
a generous act ,
Two Irishmen happened to get into an affray, in
which one of them was knocked down. His com
rade ran up to him and exclaimed :
" Arrah, Dennis, if ye be dead, can't ye spake ?"
"I'm not dead, but-spaceless," returned the
other. : ' -

HOLLAND -BITTERS
THE CELEBRATED HOLLAND REMEDY FOR
DISEASE OF THE KIDNEYS,
LIVER COMPLAINT,
WEAKNESS OF ANY KIXD,
FEVER AND AGUE.
And the various affections consequent upon a disordered
STOMACH OR LIVER,
Such as Indigestion, Acidity of the Stomach, Colicky Pains,
Heartburn, Loss of Appetite, Despondency, Costiveness,
Blind or Bleeding Piles. In all Nervous, Rheumatic, and
Neuralgic Affection, it has in numerous instances proved
highly beneficial, and in others effected a decided cure.
This is a purely vegetable compound, prepared on strict
ly scientific principles, after the manner of the celebrated
Holland Professor, Boerhave. Because of its great snecoss
in most of the European States, its introduction into the
United Stafes was intended more especially for those f our
fatherland scattered here and there over' the face of ; his
mighty country. Meeting with great success among them,
I now offer it to the American public, knowing that iistru
ly wonderful medicinal virtues must be acknowledged.
It is particularly recommended to those persons whose
constitutions may have been impaired by the continuous
use of ardent spirits, or other forms of dissipation. Gene
rally instantaneous in effect, it finds its way directly to the
seat of life, thrilling and quickening every nerve, raising up
the drooping spirit, and, in fact, infusing new health and
vigor in the system.
NOTICE.' Whoever expects to find this a beverage will
be disappointed ; but to the sick, weak and low spirited, it
will prove a grateful aromatic cordial, possessed of singular
remedial properties.
CAUTION !
The great popularity of this delightful Aroma Las in
duced many imitations, which the public should guard
against purchasing. Be not persuaded to buy anything else
until yon have given Boerhave's Holland Bitters a fair trial.
One bottle will convince you how infinitely superior it is to
all these imitations.

IN OFFERING TO THE PUBLIC MY MAGAZINE, I
claim for the Editorial Chair no superiority over that ft
department of other like Periodicals; but I do claim for the
talent of North-Carolina, and the South generally, that will- r
be brought to its support. Southern patronage.' ' And I also, . .
as a Southern man, and the Editor of a Southern Magaiibe,r
claim at the nan Is of the Southern country, and especially ;
of North-Carolina, that aid and support that will here, at ;
home, establish, upon a firm basis, a fountain of Literature, .
and exclusively a Home Literary Mag&tine. .. ;
Many are the Magazines now published in the Northern. ; ;
States that are flooding the whole Southern country. There - '.
is not (it is probable.) a county in any Southern State that . .
is not visited by "Harper," "Graham," f4 Peterson," or, ,
"Godey;" while here, in North-Carolina and the South,
where genius unsurpassed and nnequaled reigns, the litera
ry talent that is brought into exercise is dedicated to the ' i
support of Northern Magazines, while Southern enterprise :
tasie and talent bow in humble submission to such suicidal . ,
policy of Southern contributors.
Why, I ask, cannot we North-Carolina, the South send
greeting to our Southern clime, a Magazine acceptablefor the 4
many qualities that adorn the pages of the most chaste, ele-1 .
cant, and polite Periodicals t It is true that the South has her : . ..
Magazines; but few in number are they,' and unknown,. , ;
compared to the publications of the North which every :
mail brings to our homes, filled with the result of hired la
bor, and teeming with unpardonable sedition. ...
Then I appeal to North-Carolina and other Southern
States to aid me in my enterprise, and in promoting a lite. .
rary taste amongst those upon whom, as a Southern man,
I have claims.
My Magazine will be of the usual size; and nothing will '
be admitted to its pnges but such articles as will meet the
approval of the most fastidious. It shall be . ,
Illustrated with Engraving and Plates , ,
of the most elegant texture, equaling iu beauty and style
anv executed at the North.
My price of subscription is THREE DOLLARS per year,
which is required to be paid in advance, as tbe expense to '
be incurred in establishing such a publication, will notrad
