 UCTOKEI?. 

 The summer floucrs arc failed, 

 The fate of heaiily bharing. 

 And nalure, snmcuhal jaded,

The orcharilisl requiting,

Cy ^^llic!l the hind amasses 

 Sweet tiind for cows and heifers. 



The lie'ds of com arc studded. 

 With ears of golden glevving,

 With bountiss ove; flowing. 



O then the tribute render 



To the Almighty Giver, 

 Of all the heart can tender, 



And all the tongue deliver.

Only think of a arunken bridegroom !— a beast 

 that swills dtning the honey-moon !— snoring in- 

 sensible by the side of a sweet, delicate, loving, 

 aye, even loving creature yet iti her teens ! An 

 old, useless, barren bachelor may drink till he 

 dies— little harm can he do to any body but him- 

 self, though, to be sure he may sorely tiistress his 

 old 'maiden sister and lioiise-keeper Shoozy— and 

 I break the aft'ectionate and faithful creature's heart. 

 I But a married man, a father of sons and daugli- 

 Iters, all smiling, or willing to smile, round his 



board, to be a drunkard ! He deserves that death 

 ! should come stealthily in, once a month, like an 

 ' unseen tiger at midnight, and carry them all off, 



one by one, to his den, the grave. For Nature

 If, instead of the present biirdcn.some and une- 

 qual system of trainings, all oti/ens liable to do 

 military duty, were to be enrolled ami required to 

 equip themselves, and once a year, on the same 

 day throtigljout the State, were called out by com- 

 panies for inspection, would our militia be less 

 erticient than at present ? And if, in addition to 

 tliis, provision were made for the instruction and 

 discipliiK! of the officers, iloes any one doubt tlii^ 

 restdt would be a great itiqirovement on the exist- 

 ing system ? Why then shoidd this system, witli 

 its train of evils, be retained ? The subject is 

 worthy of serious consideration- it is worthy the 

 attention of philanlhropijts— and in the great ef- 

 forts making at the present day for the suppres-

■ Loss of pumpkins.— \ery great losses have been 

 sustained by the farmers on Connecticut river, in 

 le article of pumpkins, which were swept away 

 the late flood into Long Island Sound, and 

 friTm thence out to sea. We un.lerstand they 

 \^«r« not insured— and furthermore, that serious 

 a(?])rehetisions are entertained lest there should 

 *^^uo ihank.-giving for the want of pumpkin pics. 

 We hope, however, it is not so bad. — Btrk.Jlm.
