Thou wily, mean, seductive thing, Thy substle spares, Ihy baneful stinj Invade eat h human breast; We hate thy form, detest thy art, Yt safely lodge thee in our heart, A secret, welcome guest. Wc spurn thy name, yet love thy smile, When thou invitest to go a mile, Unasked, we follow twain; We crave yet hate, repulse, embrace Disdain yet seek thy smiling face; Refuse, yet entertain. When thou hast tried each other form, And we resist the nectered storm; Yair. that we're not vain, We smile at indirect applause, Extracting thence the tick'ling straws, That flat'ry we disdain. 'Tis said each man will have his price Some high, some low, obscure er nice, By which he can be bought. 'Tis quite as true that thou canst spread A lut of coarse or. finer 'thread Hy which each man is caught. Correspondence of the Palladium. Thingi as ikty art Death of Bishop .

The cool weather has driven into camp the latest lingerers nt the summer resorts, and the whole army of fashion being now 'withdrawn fn;mthe provinces," is pre paring for a brilliant full nnii winter cliuin pi.ign at home People t;:lk of hard limes und ihe fancies iu 'Vull street have just received a smart shock from the New York end New Haven expose; but nevcr lhcless, the theulres and other places of nmttseme'ut are draining, in the aggregate, ubout $12,000 per ldght from the pocket. of our light-hearted population. Thou sands ' tire won and lost daily on the Na lionul race course, and if commercial dis aster is rctd'y staring us in the face, wo meet its frown like laughing philosophers. A great loss lirts been sustained by the Protestant Episcopul church of this dio cese, in the death of Pishop YVainwright, w ho expired ut 4 p. m., on the21it., after . l out a month's illness. He was in the first ins'iitice attacked wi'h bilious remit tent fever, which subsequently, assumed a typoid t-haraeltr. Bishop Wninwrighl was an Englishman. Ha was born in Liverpool in 1793, and was, therefore, in his sixty-second year st the time of his decease. By this event the Episcopalians of the diocese are again left without a bish op, and another provisional appointment becomes necessary. It ij not unlikely that the vacant mitre will full to the lot ofhe Hcv. Dr. Vinton, of Brooklyn. Death has claimed u victim from the press us well as from the church, during the present week. Mr, Samuel Nichols, editor and, in part, proprietors of the Sunday Mercury, was fatally injured on Monday night, in consequence of missing his footing while attempting to gat into a city railroad car. The vehicle was in mo lion, and poor Nichols, falling under the groved wheel, was so fearfully mangled that lie died in about nine hours ufter the accident. His remains were interred on Thursday in Greenwood; a large number of fellow-citizens of all classes and pro fessions attended the body to the grave, -Mr. Nichols was, perhaps, the best thea trical critic in New York, a mun of high integrity and of the most kindly and ben evolent disposition. Only the day before the eatastrophe, be was talking of writing a strong article against the folly and mud ness of attempting to mount the forward platform of a car while under way; and yet strange to say, this very act of temer ity was the cause of his death. Mr. Nichols was in his 4 lib year. The political leadtrs of every stripe are industriously stirring the political cauldron. The nomination of Clark and Raymond. s the YV big candidate! for Gov ernor and Lieutenant Governor, is consid ered a free-soil triumph. It is said thai the Know-Nothings will support the whig ticket, but of this I "know nothing. ' The confusion of tongues in the tower of Ba bel was not a finer sample of discord limn is the contest of political factions in the State of New York.

On Thursday our leading modistes in troduced their fall fashions, and long lines of carriages at the doors of all the cele brated arlutts who 4:make up" the fair diunes and demisellcs of New York for the promenade, Xbe uaH-room, nnd the opera, indicated the deep interest with which our lady birds take in tho cut aad colors of their plumage. , Rich velvets seem to be the materials for bonnics. The flat crown supercedes the rounded one, and the hats are about as far in the rear of the face as ever. Many of them are trimmed with rich laco and embellish ed with velvet flowers and drooping plumes of ostrich feathers. The prices vary from $15 to $80. The mantua makers still adhere to the basque waists and multitudinous flounces. Sleeves are of nil shapes, and are puffed or "slashed' with a material of a color different from the dress. Skirts are made sufficiently long to sweep the side-walks, thus per forming a heavy tost tohusbands andfath ers, the duty which the street contractors neglect.

The de.stroyer has struck many a shining mark within the last few months. Il is generally believed the stockholders of the New York and New Ilaveu R:ul road Company, will repudiate the spurious stock issued by Robert Schuyler, and that his will have a bad eH'uct upon Ame rican securities generally, both in England and in this Country. 1 t is said tl at ni il all the spurious stock ten be identified. At a meetsngof the stockholders on the 21st insl., iu this city, it was shown th&t the eight directors owned only 105 shares real stock out of 30.000,an 1 that more f-pur ious than real was holder by them; thai on director owned but one share, and lhate wo or three owned no genuine stock.- Tho directors were requeued to resign. At a meeting at New Havi n on the 30b of October, it is thought tbe whole mutter will be decided. , A meeting of the anti-Know-Nothings was held last evening and it was found that there were a majority present in fa vor of the Know-Nothings and an adjourn ment was declared, nothing being accom plished. Tlie Canadian Parliament has accepted the Reciprocity Treaty, and when the legislatures of the other Provinces, Nova Sco'ia aud New Brunsw ick accept, it will go into immediate effect, which will not be until they meet in February next. Of the $7,000,000 of Mexican funds, which was received from ihe United Slates treasury and placed on deposit in the city banks, only one and a quarter million remains on deposit, most of it hav ing been sent to England. Liviso s one pleases. It is fool ish thing that one only can't live as one pleases, but where and with whom one pleases, without money, Swift some where says thus money is liberty; aud I fear mon?y is friendship. It is a great, though ill-natured comfort; to see most of those who have it in plenty, without pleas ure, without liberty, anl without friends. ("Letters of Gray.

The beautiful address which follows, was delivered on the occasion of the pre sentation of a Bible to Miss Marti J. Warren, tbe pupil, who committed to memory CS8 verses, oi't of trio sacred scriptuice during the hist term by the superintendent ot ne tho school, John 11. Minar.d Miss Wasren: I am deputed by ibc West Liberty Sunday school association lo present yon this copy of tlie holy Scrip ur es as a testimonial of the high estimate placed upon your effort in memorizing verses from tlie bible; and iu doi ng so, allow ma respected , nvidain, to say,' that your 'instructors nad tho onicers oxams school, have been careful to select the best gift within the reach of mortals. Human productions, however excellent, loose their interest upon a second or third reading, but not so with tbe bible. Drawn from the fountain of all wisdom and good ness, its themes are sublime, its depth are fathomless and its variety is infinite; the more we read the more the desire to head., and the longer we rend the better we love to read it. The bible is emphatically The Book, " The Book of Books,'' yea the book of God. It is a Heavenly Chart with which alone life's boisterous seas can be safely navigated. Its precepts are so sim ple, that the most ignorant may understand them, while its mysteries are so profound that tbe most learned could never have in vented them. While all things iu the bi ble essentially connected with doctrine ex perience and practice are sufficiently plain for ordinary readers; its resources are so boundless as to call into requisition all re search of the learned, directed by the strongest intellect without exhaustion. What are all the treasures of classic lore compared to the Word of Life. For depth of wisdom, beauty of style, and sub- b'imily of thought, it surpnsses the sages of Greece, the orators of Runs, and lit erati of modern times. Would you learn the origin of the world, and the years of its existunce, instead of resorting to Geol ogy, and dealing in uncertain conjectures, go loGeuiMS and read an authentic history of the crealiou'of all things from nothing. Would you know whence earns man, read , it in the history of the fall,', Do you de sire to learn what is the enly remedy for sin and its miseries; it is all comprehended in this: ''Christ died for our sins and rose again for our Santification," Are you still prostrated, fettered and powerless undr the bondage of sin; accept his free, unmerited advocacy, nothing doubting, and you are redeemed, regenerated and disin thralled. Such are the history and doc trines of tbe bible. It guides the pilgrim stranger through the howling wilderness in the palh of safety. It hangs cut the lamp of its exceeding great and precious promises, to pilot him over the gulf-stream of dentil, aud leads him forth with songs of deliverance to join bis friends in the deathless of immortality, where the river of life glides forever amid the beauties of perrennial spring. - Now, the bible which alone affords any satisfactory information of our origin, du ty and end, or any satisfactory informa tion of a higher and happier state of exis tence thnn the present; is a like suited to all classes of society and to all the circum stances of hum -in life. It is the plain christians mumul, end tbe learned man's Itcx-l'j.V, the tii'i win rajr poor man's treasure; the travelers guide; the mourner's chart; the widow's com panion and the orphan's guardian. It is the basis of legislation and the standard of morals. Il binds over the witness, juror, and judge, to a future reckning, nnd re quires the administration of universal jus tice, according to the golden rule, of doing unto others as we would they should di ' unto us. It cliecks the turbulent paKsious cf the w icked, protects tlie rights of the innocent, and ciijuii s r;ita e. oarib and pwd win io'Tnnn. I' ' i;'.a toe h'.;i cl and kindles t:. Ire of i !...'. .i,'. 1' im parts light to ihe ignorant, peace to tbe broken hearted and breaks tho wizard r pell of superstition. It is the sick man's consolations, atid sustains the dying man's hope. ' Accept it then, in behalf of the West; Liberty Sunday School Association, and II !! may you enjoy ns messings in nie anu the future Uite. of blessedness revealed lis its puges in eternity. Miss Warres 's rcpiy on acceptation of tiie bible i Rei-ecteu Sir : Il is with pleasure that I accept this copy of tlie Holy Scriptures awarded me by this Sabbath School As-. socialism, as a testimonial of the high ap-t preciation placed upon my effort in mem orizing verses from the bible. ( In performing this delightful task, al low me to add a few words, although as a work of art, litis book is no mean evi dence of thy excellent consideration, yet, it is not o:i account of its arlistie excel lence, or neat tyr.oarraphic execution that its real worth is to be estimated. Not u in frequently, we find the most brilliant tins ling of gold covering and enclosing . that I which is eitlir worthless or pernicious. But the value of your gift, consists not chiefly in tlie. binding, but in what is bound, not in the folds and leaves and embclishraents, but in the gems of incor ruptible truth which it contains. We are indebted to the author, not to the publish er, for tbe ruc excellence of this book. When we consider that the organization which has brought us together, in the eu dearing relation which ure here recogniz ed, has for its princ iple aim and object, the giving and receiving instruction drawn from litis volume of exhauslless truth, may I not ask, what beside this pre- i cious book fould you have chosen ns mi embodiment and expression of your es teem! and whi.t else w ould have been equally acceptable to inc. My heart is placed upon this volume, 1 love it becausa it is the best counsel of youth, and ihe sweetest solace of age. The glittering star which shc-ds its light upon tbe earliest prospects of youth, and leads the weary pilgrim, errerging from the wilderness of life, safely and triumphantly to the bind of promise. This book is not only prais ed by me,, a Sabbath school schollar, but il ij venerated by tbe citizens of our hap py country generally. We regard this book as the faith of the Protestant Ame rican chnrch, ihe bulwark of American Republicanism, the terror of despots, and the undying hope of. the oppressed. If the last star that glitters in tlie firmament of civil und religious liberty shall become obscure and hiden from s iew, by the darkness of surrounding tyrany aud sin, the wandering exile of freedom, and the mangled captive of the opressor shall turn their tearful eyes again to the higher fir mament of divine revelation, and from that firmament shall come down upon their crushed heads the authority, the inspira tion and the hope that .'hall nerve them onco more to arise end sucjessfully vindicate the spiritual birthright of man, and the freedom of the race. This, then, is tha sublime mission of the word of God.
