LIFE'S Al Tl WSS. BY J. R. LOWELL. We. too, bate autumns, when our leaves Drop loosely through the dampened air, When all our good seems bound in sheaves, And wc stand reaped and bare. Our reasons have no fixed returns. Without our will they come and go, At noon our sudden summer burns. Ere sunset all is snow. But each day brings less summer cheer, grimpt more our ineffctnal spring, And something earlier every year Our singing birds take wing. As less the olden glow abides, And less the chiller heart aspires, With drift-wood biaclied in past spring tides We light our sullen fires. By the pinched rushlight’s starving beam. We cower and strain our wasted sight, To stitch youth's shroud up, scam by seam, In the long arctic night. It was not so—we once were young — When Spring, to womanly summer turning Her dew-drops on each grass-blade strung, In the red sunrise burning. We trusted then, aspired, believed That earth could be remade to-morrow,— Ah, why be ever undeceived Why give up faith for sorrow? Oh, thou whose days are yet all spring, Trust, blighted once, is past retrieving; Experience is a dumb, dead thing;

The vistory’s in believing. .1 Virginia Traveler and A Kentucky Landlord. A traveller from Virginia, as his blooded horse and plethoric saddle-bags indicated, stopped at a comfortable way side Inn in Kentucky one night, many years ago. The landlord was jovial, wholesouled fellow, as landlords were in those days and gave the stranger the best entertainments bis table and bar would afford, as well as his own merry company to make him glad. Early in the morning the stranger was up and looking round when he espied a rich bed of mint in the garden. He straightway found Boniface and in indignant at what he supposed his inhospitality in setting plain whiskey before him when the means of brewing nectar were so easy of access, he draged him forth to the spot, and, pointing his finger at the mint, he exclaimed: ‘I say, landlord, will you be good enough to sav what that is?’ ‘A bed of mint,’ said the somewhat astonished landlord. ‘And will you please tell me what is al. , c

the use of it? ‘Well, don’t exactly know, ’cept the | old woman dries it sometimes with the other ’yarbs.’ The Virginian almost turned paie at the enormity of the assertion. ‘And do you mean to tell me you don’t know what a mint julep is?* ‘Not'cept it’s something like sage tea, stranger.* ‘Sage tea! Go right along to the house, get a bucket of ice, loaf sugar and your best liquor.’ The landlord obeyed, and the stranger soon made his appearance with a handful of the fragrant, dewy mint, and then they brewed and drank again. Breakfast was over, and the stranger’s horse was brought out only to be ordered back again. Through the live-long day they brewed and drank; one or two neighbors dropped in, who were partakers, and late in the night were their orgies kept up. Ere they made it bedtime, the

landlord and his Virginia friend, who had initiated him into the pleasant mysteries of mint julep, were sworn brothers, and and when the latter departed next morning, Boniface exacted a oledge that he should stop on bis return and stay as long as he pleased, free of cost. The stranger’s business, however, detained him longer than he expected, and it was the next summer before he came back. Riding up late in the evening, he gave his horse to an old negro, who was at the gate, and at the same time inquired: tWeil, Sam, how is your master?’ ‘Youder him come,’ said the uegro, pointing to a youth who was approaching. ■I mean your old master, fool ’ ‘Old rnassa! Him done dead dis tree month.’ •Dead! What was the matter with him? lie was in fine health when I left him.’ •Yes, but see Massa Stranger, one dem Virginia gemmans come along here last •tear, and showed him how to eat greens in his liquor. He liked it so well he done stuck to it till it kill him,’ said the old darkey, shaking his head. The stranger passed a less jovial night than on bis previous visit, and was off by daybreak the n<Xt morning. He quieted his conscience, however, in the end. with the reflection that ‘good things arc sometinu ■ mi'U. vd. ’

I’ll Vote lor the Other Mau. The following story is told of a revolutionary soldier who was running for Congress: It appears that he was opposed by a much younger man, who had never ‘been to the wars,’ and it was the wont of ‘Rev-. olutionary’ to tell the people of the hardships he endured. Says he: ‘Fellow citizens, I have fought and bled for my country —I helped whip the British and Indians. I have slept upon the field of battle with no other covering but the canopy of heaven. I have walked over frozen ground till every footstep was marked with blood,’ Just about this time, one of the sovereigns’ who had become very much affec- ■ ted bv this tale of woe, walks up in front of the speaker, wiping the tears from his eyes with the extremity of his coat tail, and interrupting him, says: ‘Did you say that you had fought the J British and the Injines?’ ‘Yes,’ responded Revolutionary. ‘Did you say that you had slept oa the ground while serving your country without any kiver?’ ‘Yes sir, I did.’ j ‘Did you say you had followed the efiemy of your country over frozen ground : till every footstep was marked with blood? ■

‘Yes,’ exultingly replied the speaker. ' \ ‘Well, then,’ say the tearful ‘sovereign’ i as he gave a sigh ol painful emotion, ‘l’ll be blamed if I don’t think you’ve done | . enough for your country, and I'll vote for ■ the ether man” 1 A Sharp Bargain. ’ It was bard to catch ‘Old Jack Jones in a place too tight for liim to get out. — The following occurred recently at Cedartown Court. There had been a hard frost the night before, and some ofthe knowing ones prophesied an entire failure of the wheat crop. ‘l've got one hundred acres,’ says Old I ° Jack, ‘that I’ll take one hundred dollars for.’ •Jack, I’ll give it, and band you the money in an hour,’ said Mitchel. Before the expiration of the hour, a negro from the plantation reported the wheat (injured, and Mitchel advanced, money in hand. ‘Thank you,’ says Jones. ‘When will you take your wheat away?' ‘Take it awaj ? Why, as soon as it is ripe.*

‘No, you don’t. You must cut it this week. I want to plough up that field and ' put it in corn.’ Anecdote of Dr. Webster, A Scotch Minister. In 1774, Dr. Webster Vas a popular preacher of the Kirk of Scotland, in Edinburgh. Business brought him to London, and one day, when passing the House of Lords, bis curiosity induced him to make an effort to step in and see them.— None were admited without an order, except noblemen's servants. Webster being ignorant of the rule, requested admittance. ‘What lord do you belong to?' said the doorkeeper. , ‘To the Lord Jehovah,’ says Webster.; ‘The Lord Jehovah,’ repeated the keeper, ‘I have kept here seven years, but I have never beard of such a lord; Jack,’ said he to his fellow-keeper on the front steps,’ ‘here’s a chap who says he belongs ;

to Lord Jehovah; don’t you know such a Lord?’ *Ne»er heard of him,’ says Jack. ‘But,’ says Webster, ( willing to keep up the illusion,) ‘there is such a lord ’ ‘Pass’em in,’ said Jack, ‘I s’pose it’s some poor Scotch lord.’ This occurred at a period when there was not one in twenty of all the manufac- ■ turing and rural districts in England who : could read the Bible or write his own ■ name. Sabbath schools were introduced in 1783. Now the people are intelligent and happy, and can not only read and , write, but have found out who the “Lord Jehovah” is — Grard Tfiord urn. Whom to Marut.—When a young woman behaves to her parents in a manner ’ particularly tender and respectful, from principle as well as nature there is nothing i good and gentle that may not be expected • from her in whatever condition she may . be placed. Were Ito advise a friend as to his choice of a wife, my first counsel would be, ‘look out for one distinguished for her attention and sweetness to her parents.’ The fond of worth nnd affection indicated by such behavior, joined by the habits of duty anil consideration thereby contracted, being transferred to the marlied state will not fail to render her a mild and • bligii’g companion.— S'.ar.

THE GLOBE. THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF CONGRESS. T I’UBLISH now my annual Prospectus of I The Daily- Globe, and The Congressional Gio® and Appendix, to remind sAscribers, and liform those who may desire to Wibscribe, that Congress will meet on the first Monday of ■next December, when I shall recoinmencepubi lishing the above named papers. They have ' been published so long that most public men ! know their character, and therefore I deem it needless a minute account of the kind of mat ter they will contain. The Daily Globe will contain a report ofthe debates in both branches of Congress as taken down bv reporters equal, at least, to any corps of short hand writers in this or any other country. A majority of them will, each, be able to to report, verbatim,ten thousand words an hour while the average number of words spoken by fluent speakers rarely exceed seven thousand five hundred words an hour. When the debates of a day do not make more than forty columns they shall appearin the Daily Globe of the next morning, which will contain, also, the ' news of the day. together with such editorial 1 articles as may be suggested by passing events. ; It is alsomy intention, from time, as occasion may require, to publish my reminiscences of the ; public men with whom I have been associated j during the last twenty eight years. Anecdotes ■ of General J ack son. and theleaders ofthe party which he conducted, and the leading men of other parties, will, I believe, be interestingnow when partisan bitterness has abated. In becoming the reporter of the debates of Congress 1 deemed it proper to say that the Globe would never be a partisan paper. This pledge will not be forfeited by introducing as a contribution to history the political traits of character which distinguished the public men of mvtime. Although I am, and intend to remain, a thourough democrat, I will never obtrude.my principles in away to make them obnoxious to anv party. But in regard to persons and events which go to make up history. I hope to make the Globe an honest memoir: and with that view I am resolved to speak independently of all parties. The Congressional Globe and Appendix will contain a report of all the debates in Congress, revised by the speakers, the messages of the President ofthe United States, the annual reports of the heads of the executive departments, the laws passed daring the session, and copious indexes to all. They will be printed on a double royal sheet,in book form, royal quarto size, each number containing sixteen pages. The whole will make, it is believed, 3,8110 and 3,900 pages, as the longsessions for many years have ranged between those numbers, and the next session will be what is termed a “long one.” This 1 believe is the cheapest work ever sold in any country, whether a reprint or printed from manuscript copv, taking for data the average number of words of the long session since the year 1848. The average number of pages is 3,876, and the average number of wordsona page is 2,397, consequently, the average number of words of a long session is 9,291,772. As I have sold to subscribers that number of words for six dollars, it follows that they have paid less than six and one-half cents for every 10 >,'l0l! word- I have furnished them, while I have paid ray reporters 629 for every 2,397 words, of this work, in manuscript? Has any other bookseller, anywhere, ever sold a book in the first instance, while it was new, at so low a rate? I believe not; and so strong is my belief that I hereby agree to give to any person who shall prove the contrary a complete set ofthe debates running back to 1833. making forty-three quarto volumes, which sellfor ssavoliiiae. An act of Congress authorizes these papers to go by mail free of postage. The next session will be. without doubt, an unusual interesting one; as it will be the first under a new administration, and severalqpmplex questions must be discussed in it for example, the currency,Kansas, revenue, and other questions. The Globe will be asheretoforc, the only source from which full debates can be obtained.

It. is the intention of the Proprietors of the Sentinel to make it in all respects a newspaper worthy the support of the. Democracy of Indiana ! And m the proportion its circulation is increased and its advertising patronage enlarged will j be our ability to add to its interest.

All then, who are de sirious of the succes of Democratic principles and policy, can serve thecause in no better way than in extending the circulation of the political organs of the party.

The Sentinel will be governed in its political course by the authoratively expressed sentiments of the party. The principles and policy it 1 promulgates it will be our aim to advocate and itefend, believing that upon the integrity of the Democratic party rests the preservation of our unequalled Government.
