As it swept along its narrow bed,l
Chafing~ in wrath and pride.
“Little by little," midday by day. "
And with every wave it ‘bore away
A grainflm'dfrom the bands which lay
Like granite walls on either side;
It came again, and the rushing tide
Covered the valley far and wide,
For the mightylbahks“ were gene.
A grain at nuns they were swept away ;

Under the waves, for the work was done.
“Little by little," the tempter said,
As a dark and cunning snare he spread
For the young, unwary feet ;
“Little by little," and “day by day,"
I’ll tempt the Careless soul astray,
Into the broad and flowery way,
Until the min is made complete.
“Little by little," sure and slow,
We fashion our future of bliss or woe
As the present passes away.
Our feet are climbing the stairway bright,
Up to the region of endless light,
Or gliding downward into the night ;
“Little by little,” and “day by day.”

POLITICAL.
Before this letter-reaches your readers the
great struggle will have been decided. I_
can‘t avoid giving the democracy credit for
the most immense display of the campaign.
Thursday night was the appointed time for
the great demonstration, and it was certainly
the biggest thing of “the kind New York
ever saw,l'e‘xcepting.the last Fourth of July

The city was kept in a nervous condition till

STOKES. _
Issw the murderer of.» Jim Fisk on the
street yesterday. The lat time I saw him
he wasin th'eprisonsr’s‘dock, a strong, dark-
haired defiant ‘4 yOun’g'. anon, who looked as
though nothing earthly could break him.
But hisyears of imprisoment have changed
him sadly. His hair is gray, his form has
lost the elasticity that made him an observed
man on the streets, and he looks twenty
years older thanhe did five years ago. He
has not had much work to do, and had as
good fare in his prisons as though Debionico
had supplied his table. But confluement,the
worry and fret of prison life has broken him,
and it is doubtful if he ever regains his im-
paired manhood. Still, he is as gamey as a
man canbe. He proposes to go into busi-
ness at once, and rebuild his shattered for-
tunes. While in SingrSing he purchased the
right to manufacture an asphaltum pavement
which he believes to be a\ necessity in all
large cities, and hehas already commenced
to introduce it into New York- Possibly he
may yet ride the city as successfully as
Tweed did. It cost him $300,000 to escape
the gallows, which stripped him entirely.
11er makes a very pretty moral lesson
forsyonng men. An illicit attachment for a
deprived woman cost him the murder of a.
man and every dollar of a large fortune, and
leaves him in middle life naked, with a bra-
ken constitution and a reputation that will
bar every efiort he can make among good
men. Stokes has paid‘very dearly for his
“Tim's
issuance. —
Thc Continental has gone up hopelessly,
and as a matter of course all the insurance
companies are feeling the effect of it. Sharp-
ers are taking advantage of the nervousness
of policy holders to blackmail the other com-
panics, and to some extent they succeed, but
in others they don’t. The United States met
them at the threshold, and answered them by
publishing to the world their regular state-
ment, and not only refused to pay a dollar,
but demanded the most rigid investigation of
their affairs. Other sbund Companies did
the some thing, and the result is, the scare
is nearly over. Life Insurance is so widely
diffused, and is of so much importance to all
classes of people, that the man who would
deliberately for his own purposes get up a
foundationless panic, ought to be hung to the
nearest lamp-post. There are a large number
of shakey companies that never had any claim
to public confidence that the times will take
under, and they ought to go under, but the
deserving, honestly managed, sound compan-
ies, ought to be stood by all the closer.
a home’s OUTFIT.
A fashionable dressmakcr in. this city is
now furnishing the bridal outfit for a Michi-
gan girl, which is something. worth seeing
these hard times. Of course papa is a very
rich man, and so he can afford his daughter,
on the occasion of her wedding, seventeen
dresses ; the one she is to be married in is of
heavy white silk, ' embroidered with white
jet, and decOrated with fringes Of orange
blossoms. Then there are mantles,and opera
cloaks, and all that sort of thing, to say
nothing of the under .clothing which rivals
the dress for elegance. Nothing less expen-
sive than silk is used,and the undergarments,
down to the stockings and shoes, are made
to match the dresses. The cost of the entire
outfit is—hold your breath-$38,000 ! I
hope the girl is happy and will continue to
be so ; but the probability is that she will be
wanting to find a purchaser for those clothes
in less than five years. It’s rather too much
capital to lock up these days. '
THE BARBERS.
Are the last tradesmen to be exercised. The
dull times have driven thousands in from the
country, and. they are shaving for five cents.
The regulars who have forgotten that the
war is over, and are still charging fifteen and
twenty, object,. ,and they are combining
against them. _ ”enever they find one of
the five-cent fellows, they start a shop next
door to him and shave for nothing till he is
starved out. The people can all afford clean
faces now. Their meeting was the most
Odorous gathering I have attended for some
time. PIE'I‘RO.
Two Hundred Years Ago.
Two hundred years ago our Puritan fore-
fathers fought the “Great Swamp fight" in
Rhode Island with the savage warriors of
King Phillip, crushing the Narragansetts and
settling practically the questions at issue
with the crafty Indian monarch. The in-
domitable courage of a little band of men
saved the colonies on that day from anarchy
and destruction. One hundred years ago the
war for independence from Great Britain
had actually begun. If the colonists had not
been successful in King Philip's war there
might never have been an American revolution
and there might never have been an American
republic. The “Great Swamp fight” being
the decisive battle of the Indian war, it may
well be considered an important event in
the history of this country. The Boston.
Advertiser justly says, in re-telling the story
of the fight, that “that Sunday afternoon
battle rendered possible the wonderful
growth of New England,in the next century.”
There were but 1,000 men in the little army
of the colonists, and they marched through
the blinding rain to the stronghold of the
savages, where the foes were gathered to the
number of about 3,500. This stronghold
was upon alittle island, thickly palisaded,
and accessible Only by a bridge formed of a
single log- The first fire of the colonists
was promptly returned. The battle lasted two
Or three hours, and resulted in a complete
victory for the colonists. One thousand
Indians are said to have been killed. The
Puritans lost seventy men, including four
captains; and 150 were wounded. The col-
onial army was commanded by Josiah Wins-
low.
Tnouas Nash—Few readers need to be
informed that it was the war which devel-
oped and brought to light the maricaturist of
the United States, Thomas Nast. When the
war began he was a boyish looking youth of
eighteen, who had already been employed as
a draughtsman upon the illustrated press of
New York and London for two years. He
had ridden in Garibaldi’s train during the
campaignof 1860, which freed Sicily and
Naples, and sent sketches of the leading
events hometo New York and to The Lon-
don Illustrated News. But it was the
secession war that changed him from a rov-
ing lad with swift pencil for sale into a ‘pat-
riot artist, burning with the enthusiasm of
the time. Harper’s Weekly, irculating in
every town, army, camp, fort, and ship,
placed the whole country within his reach,
and he gave forth from time to time those
powerful emblematic pictures that roused
the citizens and cheered the soldier. In these
early works, produced amidst the harrowing
anxieties of the ~war, the serious element
was of necessity dominant. and it was this
quality that gave them so much influence.
They were as much the expression of heart-
felt conviction as Mr. Curtis’s most impas-
sionated editorials, or Mr. Lincoln’s Gettys-
burg speech. This I know, because I sat by
his side many a time while he was drawing
them, and was with him often' at those
electric moments when the idea of a picture
was conceived. It was not till the war was
over, and President Andrew Johnson began
to “swing round the circle,” that Mr. Nast’s
pictures became caricatures But they were
none the less the utterance of conviction.
Whether he is wrong or right in the view
presented of a subject, his pictures are al-
ways asmuch the product of his mind as
they are Of his hand. ~
Concerning the justice of many of his pc-
litical caricat there must be, of course,
two opinions ; but happily his greatest
achievement is one which the honest portion
of the people all approve. Caricature, since
the earliest known period of its existence,
far back in the'dawn of Egyptian history,
has accomplished nothing else equal to the
series of about forty-five pictures contributed
by Thomas Nast to Harper's Weekly for the
explosion of the Tammany ring. There
are the utmost that satire art has
done in that kind. The fertility of in-
vention displayed by the artist, week after
week, for months at a time, was so extraor-
dinary that people concluded, as a matter of
course, the ideas were furnished him by
others. , On the contrary, he cannot .draw-
from the suggestions of other minds. , His
more celebrated pictures have been drawn in
quiet country places, several miles from the
city in which they were published—Harper's
Magazine for December.

From May 10th to last Saturday the cash
admissions to the Centennial were $7,476,400,
and it is possible for the coveted eight mil-
lions to he reached by Friday night. In that
case the cash receipts would be a little under
four millions of dollars. There is a chance
for some arithmetician to figure out the
amount the American people have spent upon
the exhibition, of which the admissions are a
very small part. It would be interesting to
know how many millions have been expend-
cd by visitors in Philadelphia, and how rich-
ly the liberality of that city has been reward-
cd.-—00m'ant.

AUTUMN FANCIES.
Tux-z sensor: or mars AND MELLOW FBUITFUL-
wuss.
“ Now what has entered my loved woods,
And touched their. green with sudden
change ”
What is this lhst of Nature’s moods
That makes the roadside look so strange ?
"-»—' “A '. uni-«i.—
“ Lo! the change reaches high and wide,
Hath toned the sky to softer blue;
Hath crept along the river side,
And tried the valleys through and throng .”
The old etching of Autumn, by Thompson,
although discolored by age, is still a pretty
one, and reads:
Crown’d with the sickle and the wheaten
- sheaf, -
,While the autumn, nodding o’er the yellow
plain,
Comes jovial on. ~
Its expressiveness must have caught the
fancy of the French, fora Gallic sentence
reads: . ~
Couronnec d epis, tenet cn main in faucille,
L’ Antomne joyeuse descend sur nos piaines
jaunissantes,
which, if not a literal transcription, yet bears
its coloring in a marked degree.
_ Recalling these lines forces the thought that
mid-summer, with its torrid days, has
passed, and the season of the falling leaf and
gorgeous coloring is 'here. The fall, from
its very briefness, in this climate, is always
enchanting. There is just sufficient sadness
and melancholy suggested by its fleeting du-
ration, mingled with present joy and fulfill-
ment, to render it doubly dear. A glamour,
as it were,.invests it foreign to that of any
other season. It may aptly be termed the
twilight of the year—:the delightful hour that
proceeds the chill of approaching night and
succeeds the heat of the day. It is the bus
bandman’s favorite season, the period when
Nature distributes her gifts with a more than
usually lavish hand. The germs of spring and
summer have matured and are waiting to be
gathered into the gamer. “Plenty” is visible
on every side, the groaning orchards and ripe-
ning fields resembling a vast cornucopia set in
a crimson frame, of which the roadside
hedges and flaming woods supply the material.
The “ gay company of trees” are in their
full glory now, among which theMaple is the
first that is susceptible to the yearly change.
While yet the Beech, Birch, Sumac, Hickory
and Oak are content with their summer hues,
this patrician begins to robe himself in purple
and fine linen and prepare his tribute to the
departing year. There are no hues among the
greens, yellows and reds that are too gaudy
for him to imitate. Observe that tree which
skirts the roads'de, the lower portion of a
vivid green, the‘lzcnter glistening in red and
gold, and the top and edges of flaming scar-
' let, with here and there a branch, the leaves
of wliich are splashed or streaked in brilliant
dyes, as if by an artist’s brush. Verily,
“ ’Neath yon crimson tree,
Lovcr to listening maid might breathe his
name,
Nor mark within its roseate canopy
Her blush of maiden shame."
Next to the Maples come the Hickories and
Birches with their foliage of brightest gold;
the Sumacs, alternately orange and scarlet;
the lively yellows of the Elms and Latches;
the deep lake-red of the Dogwood; the
Beeches with their delicate browns and yel-
lows; the brilliant fiery dyes of the Pcperidge
tree; the rich orange of the Sassafras; an oc-
casional Virginia Creeper; which, twined
around a lusty Oak, gleams like a-flre in the
woods; and last of all the rich reds, browns
and russets of the Oaks. _
Among the Maples, the sugar or hard vari.
ety is that to which the brilliant effects in the
fall landscape among the Acer tribe is usually
due, the soft Maple generally turning yellow.
and not assuming a scarlet tint. This, how-
ever, is 'not always the case, as when the
soft Maple grows on rocky soil it occasionally
discloses very vivid coloring and matures
much earlier than the hard'varieties. The Sn-
mac owes much of its Intense coloring to the
soil on which it grows. Whoever has trav-.
eled along the Mohawk valley in September,
where it flourishes on the rocks in lavish pro.
fusion, will have noticed its extraordinary
brilliant orange and crimson stains, as well as
its premature development in that locality. It
may be remarked in general that all trees
growing upon thin or rocky ground, or that
are stunted in growth, color higher, as well
as earlier, than those growing upon more gen-
erous soils. This will account for the fact
that trees observed from the car windows,
while passing through the country, invaria-
bly disclose stronger and richer effects than
those that are readily accessible. A warm
and dry fall is essential to the finest effects
of changing foliage. Premature frosts 'are
injurious to color, and it may have been no-
ticed by the most unobserving liow suddenly
the scarlet and yellows give place to. browns
and russcts on the advent of a severe frost.
A single night will often transform a land-
scape, rivaling the most gorgeous sunset, to a
mass of Booty dons and browns.
The scarlet Oak(Quercus coccinea) although
uncommon in New York State, occasionally
reveals its massive hole in our forests, and
whenever seen is at once an object of attrac—
tibn. Its individuality is frappant. The
leaves are distinct from all others of the
same species, being borne on long, graceful
petioles with four deep indentations on either
side. It is not susceptible to white frosts.
When standing in an isolated position its
blood-red foliage is visible from afar, and
when observed atliwart the setting sun, at a
time most of the other forest trees stand bare
and leafless, its effect is grand beyond dcs-
cription.
The red Dogwood (Cornus canguinea),
which must not be confounded with its name-
sake, the Corpus florida,'and, later in the sea-
son, the Wintcrberry (Prinus virticilata), na-
tives of our swamps, are conspicuous objects
in the autumnal landscape. They are gener.
ally found growing in conjunction with ever
greens, the lustrous red bark of the former
and brilliant scarlet berries of the latter,
heightened by the dark-ground, producing
the effect of underbrush in the forest.
There is a wonderful beauty in the leaf of
the Beech in the fall, which is apt to be over-
looked. Less striking, at a distance than
many of its companions, it is extremely beau-
tiful on nearer approach. Its very shape,
fitness of texture and glossy surface denote
its good breeding. Its gradations in color
when first touched by frost are delicate and
elegant, the veins retaining their greeness,
and the remaining portion of the leaf turning
from green to yellow, and from yellow to dif-
ferent shades of brown. In the leaf arbore-
tum the Beech is as effective as the graceful
fern or delicate maidenhair.
The autumn flora also lends a charm to the
landscape scarcely inferior to the dress parade
of the trees, supplying colors, in many in-
stances that they cannot command. Chief
among the roadside guardians are the blue
aster and the yellow golden rod, familiar‘to
all who have ever driven in the country.
There is scarcely a highway or lane that is
nbt sentineled by these field marshals of the
road,their commanding appearance and bright
uniforms attracting the eye on every hand.
The oft-despised thistle, too, plays an import-
ant role among its roadside companions. 'A
purple thistle flower, in its season will bear
comparison with many of its more pretentious
sisters; it is its familiarity only that has bred
contempt. But when, on the maturity of the
seeds, a flock of yellow-birds are rocking on
its flower spires, scattering gossamer down to
the winds, and filling the air with their tiny
though musical twitter, the effect is delight-
fully refreshing to the eye and ear alike. The
bursting pods of the milk-weed come in for
their share of appreciation as well, the down
thistle. They are seen everywhere in abund—
ance in the fall and are the toy of every pass-
ing breeze.
The Autumn flora, unlike that of Spring and
Summer, is stronger, and warmer in coloring,
this being equally the case with both natural
and cultivated flowers. It is thus that the
dahlia, the hollyhock, the gladiolas, the aster,
the phlox, the tritoma, the chrysanthemum,
the salvia splendens, and the more regal vari-
eties come to maturity and disclose colors and
a stately luxuriancc that put their Summer
sisters to alanine. A heliotrope never smells
. eases contracted during t
,J. B. PIERCE,
being even silkier and finer than that of, the '
w
as sweet as in September, and the foliage and
flower of the petunia and geranium are then
at their perfection. -
The sounds of Autumn are distinctive and
belong to the season as‘ unmistakably as the
gaudy maple leafrand yellow~ golden rod. They
are, first, the plaintive call Of the blackbird;
secondly, the wonderful musical chirp of the.
yellow-bird, and thirdly, the mournful song
of the cricket. The latter seems especially
appropriate to the season, acting,inn measure,
as a lullaby in cool Autumn nights to woo us
to slumber after the fervid Summer’s heat.
“ The chirpin chimes with our day dreams;
To sad en hearts,
It speaks but of disease that blights
And death that parts; ’
To happy hearts whose-hopes are bright
It sweetly tells
Of pleasant ways where sunshine gleams,
. And ring joy bells.”
The heightened Color of the atmosphere and
the flaming sunsets'of fall act as compliments
to each other and blend exquisitely with the
gaily caparisoned fields and woods. An Au-
tumn sunset, like the season, is fleeting, gath
ering, in the short time it exists, hues and
tints foreign to the most labored efforts of _
summer. The fragrance exhaled from vege-
tation on the setting of the sun is then strik-~
ingly apparent. Who has not had this brought
impressively to mind on passing by a wood or
along a lane, when a breath of cool air,frcight-
ed with mintor a combination of.subtle scents
from wood or roadside, is wafted in the cool
of the evening. '
These subtle scents that meet one on every
hand, and'tlie delightfully invigorating air are
among the most palpable enjOyments that Wait
upon this favored season. The atmosphere
possesses characteristics peculiarly its own at
this time, with its accompanying half-tints,
mellow hazes and golden shadows,which give
individuality and tone to the landscape, in-
vesting it with a dreamy languor and aerial
grace and often lingeringlate into November,
as if 10th to depart.
Autumn is essentially the scason of. fulfill-
ment,——the completion and fruition of the
year. The squirrel and the bee, and, follow-
ing in their footsteps, the tiller of the soil,are.
alike busy in gathering the autumn store, for
though to-day may be bright, thp marrow is
close at hand, when the now smiling land?
scape will be overcast, when the gay pageant
of forest, field and hillside will give place to
December’s chilly blasts and icy shroud. It
is this thought that occasionally forces it-‘
self upon us, that, amid all its beauties, ren-
ders the season sad and recalls the verses of
the bard:
“ 0 Autumn 1 why so soon
Depart the hues that make thy forest glad
Th gentle wind and thy fair stmny noon,
nd leave thee wild and sad!
Abl ’twere a lot too blest
Forever in thy colored shades to stray;
Amid the kisses of the southwest
To rove and dream for aye;
And leave the vain, low strife
That makes men mad—the tug for wealth
and power—
The passions and the cares that wither life,
And waste its little hour."

“I‘o-morrow, ma, I’m sweet six'cen.
And Billy Grimes, the drover,
Has popp’d the question tome, ma,
And wants to be my lover;
To-morrow morn, he says, mamma,
He’s coming here quite early,
To take a pleasant walk with me
Across the field Of barley."
“You must not go my gentle dear,
There’s no use now a-talking;
You shall not go across the field
With Billy Grimes a—walking.
To think of this presumption, too 1
The dirty, ugly drover.
I wonder where your pride has gone,
To think of such a lover 1"
“Old Grimes is dead, you know, mamma,
And Billy is so lonely ;
Besides, they say, to Grimes’s esi ate,
That Billy is the only
Surviving heir to all that’s left ;
And that, they say,_is nearly
A good ten thousand dollars, ma—
And six hundred yearly i”
“I did not hear, my daughter dear,
Your last remark quite clearly,
But Billy is a clever lad,
And no doubt loves you dearly ;
Remember then, to-morrow morn,
To be up bright and early,
To take a pleasant walk with him
Across the field of barley l”

A ROMANCE.
.————4
BY PARMENAS MIST.
Her given name was simply Maud,
While his was J. Augustus Claude,
Hc'owned his passion, so did she—
Both loved with great intensity.
Her father worked a tract of land,
The soil of which was mostly sand,
While his paternal parent run
A saw-mill for another man.
They toiled with zeal, but labor's call
Brought little of the “wherewithal,”
And our young lover mourned that fate
Imperatively bade them wait. _
One day—John’s father said, “My son,
”now you'll be twenty-one,
And What you earn from this time thrOugli
Of course will all belong to you.
Now Mr. Bronson wants a hand
To help him cultivate his land,
And I’ve been thinking that you’d best
Light out and give your pap a rest !”"
Next morning at the break of- day ’
John packed his duds and went away.
It happened that the day before
Poor Maud had left her father’s door,
And hired herself, the story goes,
To Bronson for her board and clothes.
When John arrived and saw her there
He tossed his hat high in the air,
While Maud ran out with joyous face
And clasped him in a fond embrace,
Old Bronson saw them from the road
And softly murmured, “I’ll be blowed 1"
Now, Bronson’s wife was dead, and he
Was after Maud himself, you see.
Alas, for J ohn—alas, for Maude,
The jealous Bronson hemmed and hawcd,
And finally compelled them both
To take a solemn, iron-clad oath,
That while they worked for him they’d act
Like strangers—it’s a solemn fact 1
Then John went off t5 plow the soil,
And Maud resumed her lonely toil.
With working hard from light till dark
(For Bronson made him toe the mark),
John grew round-shouldered, gaunt and thin,
And losing heart he took to gin.
But Maud, beneath old Bronson’s care,
Grew pert and saucy, plump and fair;
And when one day he said, “my pet,
Wilst thou bemine ?” she sighed, “Thou bet!"
I passed their house the other day,
And as I paused upon the way
To scent the peach-trccs' fragrant bloom,
I saw Maud flourishing a broom.
And these words floated to my car :
“John Perkins, we don’t want you here "
“Alas i.” I thought, with bitter sigh,
“The fondcst love will sometimes die,
And of all sad facts, none can begin
With him who yields himself to gin."
Reluctantly Returning.
A Missionary of the American Sunday-
school Union in Missouri, being compelled
to retire from the Sunday-school Missionary
work by reason of impaired health, writes
thus of the reluctance and pain caused by
the step : “Because I personally have been
so blessed in the work; because so many
souls have been brought to Christ by it;
because so many seeds of good have thus
been lodged in good ground, which are yet
to producefruit; because mutual love has
been inspired between somany and myself ;
and, more than all, because the mighty nec-
ccssities of this people so press upon me.
The work seems no less than when I entered'
upon it. This great enterprise carries upon
its bosomlthe bread of life for starving souls.
Eternity alone can reveal the results already
accomplished.”
The Missionary might have added to his
reasons—Because this Union work so binds
together the hearts and hands of divided
clu-istiaus, and does so much to answer
Christ’s prayer that they all may be one."—
C’Im‘rch Union. ‘ '
Hoar SPIRIT.~—Hls work is various. No
one can set limits to his ministry. At the
beginning he moved upon the waters and
life abounded. ' The wickedness before the
flood grieved him, and the warning came,
“My spirit shall not always-strive with man."
Then he wrought by visions, dreams, in-
spiration and miracle. Prophets and law-
giveis were guided by his presence. The
Son of God was endowed by the Spirit in a
royal measure. When the day of Pentecost
had fully come, the Spirit began his broad-
est, grandest mission. Hitherto he worked
through priests, kings, and prophets, then
his power extended to all flesh, to all classes.
teachers, and hearers, men and women, old
and young. The _visitation was called an
event, so greatly did -it exceed all former
manifestations ; a baptism because be over-
whelmed the recipients by his power. Since
that day he has entered every obedient be-
liever, “to strengthen with might the inner
man,” and there abide, producing fruits ac-
cording to his own likeness. The more we
believe the more abundantly do we receive
of the Spirit and possess of his power.
Christ dwells in our hearts by faith“ through
this ministry, and all his goodness is reveal-
ed so as to change as from glory unto glory ‘
into his likeness. But he is grieved by un-
belicf, hindered by disobedience: excluded
by selfishness and indifference to his word,
and hence multitudes are weak who ought
to have great power.-_-BaPtm Union. _
