The Shadow pauaed over the apol once more. And vestige none of a tity waa there. But lakes lay blue, and plain lay bare, And the marshalled corn stood high and pale, And a shepherd piped of lore in a Tale.

How spake the Shadow, can temple and tower TUos fleet, like mista from the morning hour Bat the shepherd shook the long locks from bis brow The world is filled with eheep and corn Tba was it of old, thus is it now, -Tho too will it bo whilo moon" and aon Role night and mora, For nature and life are one. And after a thousand yeara were o'er, Tbe Shadow pauaed over the spot once more. And lo in the room of the meadow lands, A aea foamed far over saffron sands, And flashed in tbe noon-tide bright and dark And a fisher waa easting bia net from a bark. How marvelled tbe Shadow Where then i tbe plain? And where be tbe acrea of golden grain Bat tbe fisher dashed ofithe salt spray from his brow The water begirdled the earth al way, Tbe sea ever rolled aa it rolleth now What babbleet thou about grain and fields By night and day, 51 an looks for what the ocean yields. A nd after a thousand yeara were o'er, The Shadow pauaed orer the spot once more.

And the ruddy ray of the eventide Were gilding the skirts of a forest wide The moss of the trees looked old, so old And valley and hill, the ancient mould Was robed in sward, an evergreen cloak And a woodman sighed as he felled an oak. Him asked tbe Shadow Rememberest thou Any trace of a aea where ware thoae treea But the woodman laughed aaid he, I trow, If oaks and pines do flourish and full, tit is not amid sea The earth is one forest And after a thousand yeara were o'er, The Shadow paused orer the spot once more. And what saw the Shadow a city again, But peopled by pale mechanical men, With wck houses filled, and prisons, and marts, And faces that spake exanimate hearts. Strange picture, and aad waa the Shadow'a thought And turning to one of the ghastly, he sought For a clue in words, to tbe when and the how Of the ominous change be now beheld But the man uplifted hia care-worn brow 4 Change What waa life ever but conflict and change From the ages of old Hath affliction been widening its range. Enough said the Shadow, and passed from the spot At last it is vanished, tbe beautiful youth Of tbe earth, to return with no to-morrow All changes have chequered mortality 'a lot.

November came on with an eye severe, And his stormy language was hoarse to hear And the glittering garland of brown and red. Which he wreath'd for awhile round the forest's head, With sudden anger he rent away, And all was cheerless, and bare, and grey. Thon the houseless grasshopper told his woes.

And the humming bird sent forth a wail for the rose And the spider, that weaver of cunning so deep, Roll'd himself up like a ball to sleep And the cricket his merry born laid by On the shelf, with tbe pipe of the dragon-fly. 8oon voices were heard at tho morning prime, Consulting of flight to a warmer clime Let us go let us go aaid the bright-winged jay And bis spouse aang from a rocking spray, I am tired to death of this hum-drum tree I'll go if 'tis only the world to Then op went the thrush with a trumpet-call And the martens came forth from their box on the And the owlet peep'd from his secret bower, And the swallows conven'd in the old church tower And the council of black-birds waa long and loud Chattering and flying from tree to cloud. 4 Tbe dahlia is dead on her aaid they And we saw the butterfly cold as clay Not a berry is found on the russet plains Not a kernel of ripened maize remains Every worm is hid shall we longer atay To bo wasted with famine Away away But what a strange clamor on elm and oak. From a bevy of brown-coated mocking birds broke The theme of each separate speaker tbey told, In a shrill report with much mimicry bold, That tho eloquent orator stared to hear Their own true echo, so wild and clear. Then tribe after tribe with ita leader fair, Swept ofF thro' the fathomless depths of air Who marketh their course to the tropics bright Who nerveth their wins for ita weary flight Who guideth their caravan'a tracklesa way, By the star at night, and the cloud at day Some apread o'er tbe water a daring wing, In the isles of the southern sea to sing Or where tbe minaret towering high, Pierces the gold of the western sky Or amid tbe harem haunta of fear, Their lodge to build, and their nestlings rear.

ConaaanniUe.

A good deal has been aaid among' oar brethren, in their social interviews at various time, about the establinhmont of vracilcnl Christian eommvndtrs. hstro hntn frmumtlr reauested of late tit lay the subject before the readers of thia paper, with a view to the free discoion of the general proposi tion and its detail. We have at lenzth concltuJed to comply with this repeated request, bat in doing so would respectfully premise that the wnoie miner is in a mere embryo state a yet, and that little more can be done at present than to suggest, annus aou consider. Whether in the end any enterprise of the kind will be deemed desirable or if desirablewcci- We shall submit our rough sketch of general plan for a commnnit and leave to the criticism and amendment of the brethren at lun. Th Shakers and the Moravians have established and maintained communities after their irf-hmn wither of which we should at present wholly approve aa models, though much mi fit be selected from hoik worthy of adoption.

With os, at present, perfect individuality is a fundamental idea of the true man. We believe that by sotting the individual with bia Creator, we shall set eocisl relationship rtVht. We therefore go for unabridged individuality of mind, conscience, duty and responsibility for dirtd divine government over the human sool and, of coarse, for as little human government as possible. We wish to know whether there i any such thing as man's being and doing right from the law of God written on hi heart, without the aid of external bonds and restraints. We believe this is possible, and that it is every man's privilege, by the grace of God, to attain to such a state.

And more than thia, we believe men in the flesh will yet by thousands actually arrive at this blessed state, llence our notions of a practical Christian community preclude very much of the governmental machinery employed in both the Shaker and Moravian establishments. We are not prepared to embrace the doctrine of the Shakers respecting mirriage, and their plan of entire common property. The Moravians, it is true, retain marriage, preserve family integrity, and secure the individual rights of property, 6lc But there is too much detail and complexity in their government. Both of these classes of Christians have ta ken a noble stand in favor of many great points of practical, Christianity, as nave also the friends, Mennonites and others. They are lights of Christian excellence, to which we shall do well to give heed, not implicitly, as nnto perfection itself, bat judiciously, as unto lamps lit at the great light Christ Jesus, which yet may be excelled in some respects by a new pattern.

Especially would we recommend, should oar brethren ever undertake to establish a community, that some suitable persons be sent to the Shaker and Moravian establishments, for the purpose of investigating the practical operation of their respective systems in order that nothing really good might be overlooked or rejected. We say tins the more earnestly, because we have made the foregoing remarks respecting their communities wholly from book knowledge, and not actual observation, which last might perhaps render it necessary to modify our judgment in some respects. With these preliminary observations we now proceed to the business in hand. 1. What is the great leading idea of the proposed community 9 Ans.

A compact neighborhood oc village of practical Christians, dwelling together by families in love and peace, insuring to themselves the comforts of life by agricultural and mechanical industry, and devoting the entire residue of their intellectual, moral and physical resources to the christianization and general welfare of the human race. 2. What is Vie basis on uhich members are to be admitted into Viis community Ans. Assent to the document known among our friends by the title ft Standard of Practical Those who profess the principles and acknowledge the duties declared in that Standard (together, of course, with their families and dependants) are to be the inhabitants of the community, village, or neighborhood. 3.

How is a tract of land, or proper quantity of real estate, to be obtained for such an establishment 7 Ans. By means of a joint stock fund, raised by subscription in definite shares, and judiciously expended in the purchase of the requisite real estate; which estate having been secured, should be afterwards partly or wholly divided among the joint proprietors, according to the value of their several subscriptions unless all were perfectly agreed to hold it in common. 4. Where shall the community be located 1 In the East or in the West, according to circumstances. It should be on good land capable of the highest degree of improvement at the least expense, in a healthy situation, a little retired from the bustle of the world, with a decent water privilege, and within reach of a good market for garden productions.

What sJiould be the maximum size of the community Ans. We think it should not comprise above one hundred and fifty families, and perhaps not so many. More good might be done by establishing new communities. Probably it would be better to plant new colonics when more than fifty families had been brought together especially if the enterprise were attempted in any part of the country where land is not easily obtained. Unforeseen circumstances, however, would more definitely settle this question of size.

The size of di fferent communities might be various! No precise limits can now be prescribed. G. What sort of a constitution or compact would be proper for lite formation of such a community 9 Ans. Something like the following, we should think, would answer the purpose; viz: We the undersigned, professing the principles, and acknowledging the duties, declared in the document entitled, 4 Standard of Practical Christianity? do covenant with each other, and agree as follows. to wit: 1.

That, by divine permission and favor, we wil unite in the formation and establishment of a practical Christian community to be called The Fra ternal Communion. 2. That we will purchase a suitable tract of land, lay out the site of a village, and, as soon as may be, settle together by families in a compact neighbor hood. 3. That to this end we will create by subscription a joint gtock fund, in shares of fifty dollars each.

4. That said shares shall be transferable by the holders at their pleasure, provided only that no share shall be sold out of the Communion, until the purchase thereof shall have been refused by all within the Communion. 5. That when the joint stock fund shall have been invested in real estate, any stockholder ahal be entitled, upon demand, to have his or her just portion of the joint property, or any specified part thereof, set oil to lus or her exclusive possession. And that it shall forever be at the option of the stockholders, as individuals, to continue in joint proprietorship with each other, wholly or in part, or to dissolve the same by an equitable division of the common property.

That this Communion shall from time to time, elect such official servants as may be deemed neces Bury, all of horn shall be immediately accountable to their constituents, subject to their instructions, and removable at their pleasure. 7. That any person professing the principles, and acknowledging the duties declared in the fore- named 1 Standard of Practical may be come a member of this Communion, by subscribing this compact. 8. That any member of this Communion may be dismissed or withdraw from the same, at any time, a aa uy declaring sucn aestre or purpose, in writing.

0. That nothing herein contained shall be con Btrued to countenance the slightest interference with the conscience, rights, duties or responsibilities of any individual member. 10. That this Communion may at their pleasure amend this Compact, or adopt any rules and regulations for the transaction of business under the same, 1 1 noi repugnant to lis general oujeci ana spirit. FiitAiXY what important advantages may be expected from the establishment of the proposed Commu- nuy Ans.

oucu a community would iiirnisu a happy homo to many pure-hearted Christians, who are now scattered abroad, insulated from each other, enslaved by a corrupt Church, and oppressed by the worio. it would euaoio them to secure, with less severe toil, and more certainty, a comfortable sub sistenee for themselves and their family dependants. it wouiu render it much easier for them to reform many pernicious habits of living, and to promote the true physical health aad comfort of themselves and families. It would remove them from the dominion of many corrupt and demoralizing influences, to which they aro now exposed. It would enable them to set up and maintain a purer religious worship, a holier ministry, a more salutary moral discipline, and altogether a better spiritual state of things.

It would euablo them to send -forth true hearted, reli 1 gcrously ill. TW -J II I A It gious, tnonl and philanthropic missionaries into the mirroinding world, for it conversion men and women who could not be bribed or frightened into subserviency to popular iniquities enl who, when weary, might return, like Noah'a dove, to the window of a peaceful ark, and find repose. It would enable them more effectually to prosecute every branch of moral reform and improvement, by mean of tbe preM, of well ordered schools, and the q'talifi-cation of teachers to go out and inculcate oar principles wherever the people might welcouie them. It would enable them to bring up their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, away from those loose and corrupting influences so prevalent almost everywhere. It would enable them to establish asylums for the orphan and widow, and the outcast of men where they might be brought into the paths of life.

In fine, it would be a powerful concentration of mora light and heat, which would make practical Chrurtianity known and felt by the world. It would be in the moral and religious world, what the sun glass and steam enfine are in the natural. But we forbear. If one such community could be established, the nnrnber might be indefinitely multiplied over the whole face of the earth, till at length the kingdoms of this world should be absorbed into the glorious kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ. Thus the reign of ignorance, selfishness, pride and violence would be terminated among men, and the whole great of our race dwell together in unspeakable peace, under the immediate government of Him, to whom belongeth the kingdom, power and glory forever.

The following are extract of a letter from one of the contributors on the other side of the Atlantic 'We have ventured to make an appeal to tbe veneration of your countrymen, and the patriotism of such of ours as are sojourners among you, in the shape of relics from places consecrated by the presence of genius and virtue, or their hallowing associ ations.

I quote her an swer. 'My contributions have been kept waiting by my husband; he has been seeking George Fox pear tree. It was felled some time since he has traced it to the possession of a quaker, Henry Smith of Balby, and through his kindness has obtained some of the wood: it is now being made up into boxes and rulers. You will find some grass from the grave of our town's-woman, Elizabeth Heyrick. She was born and bred among us, little regarded and only wondered at by the many, but venerated by the few.

You have done justice to the prophet too little honored in her own country.

Some of us were long ago interested in the abolition cause its intrinsic merits recommended it to us.

Some of us, and I confess myself among the number, with full acknowledgment of the justice of the cause itself, were roused to deeper and intenser interest by the scope we saw its advocacy affording to woman, in her not least holy, if least acknowledged sphere. We felt long ago, but I know not when our feelings would have borne witness to themselves in appropriato aot, if some of us had not been brought into personal contact with those whose energy of 3o-ing shamed our barren sentimentalism. such offerings as our time, talents and pecuniary resources have enabled us to bnner together, are yours of rigid a gleaning from the liarvest of your own sowing THE GENERAL POST-OFFICE.

6, 1840. 3wis RICHT AND WRONG IN THE ANTI-SLAVERY SOCIETIES. by the soul Only, the nations shall he great and free Wobdsworth. THE Seventh Annual Report of the Boston Female Anti-Slavery Societv, presented Oct. 14, 1840.

For sale at tbe A nti-Sla very office, 25 Corn-hill. Price, 12 1-2 rente single. This work ought lo be in the hands of every abolitionist. The following selection from it is the purest gold, and beautifully wrought out: The anti-slavery societies have not yet done their work. When, in the heat of political excitement, amid which the farorersof the few years hence, will be engaged when, in the' conflict of a northern and southern party, yet to spring out of this que-, tion, compensation partial emancipation interme diate arrangements delay, become the rallying words of the opposition then let the slave rejoice if the an ti-slavery societies exist, to urge up to the toark a par tial lr regenerated people, who, though favorers of the cause of freedom, will not deserve to be called its friends; for they will need constant and perserving rebuke, entreaty, warning, to prevent their making shipwreck of the cause.

Not by numbers, but by la borious and energetic fidelity, will the work be wrought out. Not by might or by power, but by if spirit, saith the Lord of hosts Nov. 13. A. 8.

Fitchbdrg, Mass Nov. 12, 1840, Mr. Editor Wishing to render unto that which is Csesar, I make the following statements, which you will please give place in your paper, for the perusal and consideration of those who take an interest in that which operates to tbe benefit of man kind. I reside in this place. I am fifty-three years of age.

My business is the manufacturing of cotton goods. I am not so extensively known as a Harrison or a Van Buren man, nor am I so obscure and isolated aa to have but little communication with mankind there fore what I say I may be considered responsible for 1 was afflicted with pains in all my bones for sev eral years, which continued to increase until 1 waa obliged to tako my bed, and there remained for above ex cruciating pains, except when cased by opiates. My face and forehead, with my arms, hand and lower limbs from jMt above the knees, badly ulcerated, the bones ot said parts became dry, 4d. and slouched in pieces. From one ankle joint the discbarge or paw wa very free.

During said two years, it required the aid of two persons, with great care, to move me in bed, or to take me therefrom and replace me again 1'ossesged or at least a competency, in a pecuniary point of view, I employed regular medical men, seemed to exercise all their skill and kindness to me. yet they failed to do me any permanent good. All my doctors and my friends appeared to think that nothing more could be done for me than to make roe as comfortable as possible with what they called an- odynes and good nursing. In this deplorable condi tion, lwas to wait for death. As Heaven directed.

however, I was told of a Dr. Watson, in your city, who now resides at No. 27b ashington atreet, and whose practice was different from all others of tbe profession. I sent for him he came and examined my case, and called it the scrofula with all its evil effects yet, said he, the vital organs are not materially impaired; the gravel, in the urinary bladder, is the most to be dreaded, which had and still did sorely af flict me. He gave me some encouragement of a cure if 1 couid be near him.

Tbe doctor passed the night with me, and then returned home. His judgment of my case was thought lightly of by many of my neigh bors, and particularly so by my then physician, who seemed to think I 'could not survive the journey to Boston, or if I succeeded in reaching there alive, the treatment I was to receive would soon terminate my existence. however, as a last resort, determined to moke the trial. I ordered a carriage constructed to suit my -situation, and made the attempt, but failed. I then had one dinerently constructed, and made the attempt, which proved abortive.

In the course of four months after JJr. Watson vis ited me, I made the third attempt to go to Boston and after three and a half days' travel reached there, (distance but forty-seven miles,) though not without suffering beyond description from the motion of the carriage. The novelty of my crrriage, with its slow movement along, as 1 entered the city, seemed to at tract the attention of your more fashionable people, until I began to doubt myself lo be a man, and dread to be thought a beast for show, However, thought I to myself, 'tis a long lane that never turns, which exhilarated my feelings in some degree. I soon commenced receiving Dr. treatment, and in six months or less, rode home in an ordinary carriage.

and drove the horse myself! or could have done it. I continued to regard Dr. prescriptions, and occasionally visited him at his office for six months longer, which made one year I was under bis treatment, before I considered myself well, though during the laat six months of the time I was able to give personal attention to my business. The apparent unwillingness among tbe opposers of i mo mineral roooe oi practice, io give isr. arson a due degree of credit for my and other like cure, constrains me thus to make mine more extensively known.

I enclose Respectfully yours, P. ATHERTON. P. S. Mv cure appears to be regarded bv some as accidental, while I have been naked by others, if I bad not reason to think that the salt water air made the cure.

Pshaw, thought I to myself, how envy seeks to devour that to which it aspires in vain. fr rom the commencement to the completion of my cure, under lit. W. treatment, I continued to improve, notwithstanding I was salivated eight weeks severely, and was bled above thirty time. nr.

my pulse as his only guide. through tbe whole of his treatment to me, and never bled or gave medicine but the result was what he told me it should be, or I might expect. If this is ac cidental and salt water air, then let as seek it for health, and let physicians cease to send their patients from the city to the country for help. it seems from what I have been credibly informed. that similar cures have been made in your city by the same physician.
