“Of course," said young Dr. Dediing, “a
man has his own fortune to look to."
“Of course," said Judith Gray; and as she
spoke the, words a‘eold chill seemed to creep
like slowly congealing ice around her whole
heart. '
“Had you consulted me as to your affairs,"
Went on the young man, “instead of taking
this very extraordinary step, entirely without
“Yes, . I know," hurriedly interrupted
Judith ; “but it’s over and past now, so per-
haps we had better not talk about it."
The red winter sunset was . blazing with
sullen fire above the cedar copse in the west,
the leafless woodsheld up their black arms in
a sort'of wrestling agony towards the sky, as
the bleak wind tossed them to and fro and a
solitary raven uttered his ominous crank in
the woods at the back of the house.
Dr. Dediing shuddered as helOoked around
him, and glanced out towards the dreary
swamp that extended to the east. ‘
“Such a place," said be, “for a woman to
select to live-in.” .
“It isn’t very cheerful," said Judith; "but
I’ve lived here all my life, you know."
“The more reason for wanting to get outof
it now,” said the Doctor, impatiently.
Judith was silent. She looked at the black-
ing logs on the old-fashioned hearth, and tried
to keep back .the fast-rising‘tears.
Dr. Dediing rose'and took up his hat.
"Then I am to consider that our engage.
ment is qiliteat an end P” said the Doctor.
“Yes," said Judith, in a low tone.
“I shall always wish you well," said the
Doctor, aifably. . '

Seemed to be very little reason for doubting
it—what a fatal mistake had he made in re-
jecting a bride who could bring the rich por-
tion of a “cranberry swamp" as her wedded
dower. If he had known this half an hour—
one little hour—ago l .
“Don’t fret about him, Judith, dear; he
isn't worth it !" urged honest Marmaduke
Rcdfield,'who had stopped, on his Wav to the
post office to bring a message to his mother.
“He was always a pretenticnal sort 0' fellow
all for outward show, with a heart like a
stone and a nature as shallow gas Deacon
Dole’s brook!” _
' Judith looked up at the clumsy, good
hearted, hard-handed farmer, and wondered
that she had never before noticed what a true
face and what clear, frank eyes he had.
“Forget him, Judith l" pleaded Redfield ;
and she'bégl'in seriously to think that she
would at least make the trial. “Come over
to our house and stay with mother. It’s too
bleak and lonesome for you here—for the
present, at least. Spring will be here time
encugh for you to come back to the cran—
berry swamp.”
Judith Gray looked round at the solitary
room and thought of Mrs. Redfield’s big cosy
kitchen, with its bright colored rag carpets,
its windows lined with blooming geraniums,
and its shrill-voiced canary bird hanging over
the work-table.
“Do you think," she hesitated, “that your
mother would be willing to be troubled with
such a vistor as ma?"
Duke Redfield's face grew radiant.
“Oiily try her," said he. ‘ ‘Dcar Judith
you’d be as welcome as flowers in ‘May 1"
And the next day Mrs. Redfield came over
in the old farm carryall to claim her guest,
and the Swamp house was left to its own
dreary desolation and the driving snows of
January. f
Scarcely three weeks had elapsed when
young Dr. Dedling came to the Radfield farm
in his new gig, with the old roan horse, that
really made a good appearance when you
didn’t hurry and the road was tolerably good,
and he was free from a visitation commonly
known as the “heaves.”
“There ain’t nobody sick here," said
Julius, the hired mau,who was splitting wood
at the side of the house as he eyed the doctor
rather suspiciously. .
“No, I-know it,” said Dr. Dedling; “but
I’ve called to see Miss Gray.”
“Miss Gray ain’t noways ailin' as I know
Of,” persisted Julius, feeling at the edge of
his ax and still staring hard at the medical
representative of Glassville.
“I have called," said Dr. Dediing, with
dignity, “as a friend."
“Oh I” said Julius.
“Will you be kind enough to let me in ?”
persisted the doctor.
“ ’Taint no use,” said Julius, rolling a
prodigious pine knot down from the pile,and
preparing himself for a stupendous effort;
“there ain’t nobody at home.”
“Nobody at home ?” echoed the doctor.
“They‘ve all gone to church,” explained
Julius.

had buried old Miles Grey. on: 1.“?
Little Judith, who had worn herself“ our. {1‘
taking care of him, had dropped a fe‘s- siun
cere tears on §the cheap cofiin that encased
his remains, but no one else seemed particul—
arly to grieve. '
Mrs. Pytchley, her eldest sister,-who was‘
married to a New York grocer, had boldly
declared that it was high time the old man
took himself off the stage of this world, and
had made no secret of her disappointment
when it was discovered that $1,000 in gold
pieces represented all his ho’arded wealth,
with the exception of the cranberry swamp,
upon whose dreary verge stood the house and
the dreary property, by the terms of the will
was to be divided between his two nieces, J u-
dith Gray and Maria Pytchley, as they them-
selves might agree.
“I’ll take the ready money," said Mrs.
Pytchley, hastily. “What could I do with
three or four miles of cranberry swamp ?"
“Or what could Judith do with it, either ?"
said Hobart Pytchley, who sat whittlinga
5:: gill...
“I dare say she could manage very nicely,"
said Maria. “I‘ve heard Uncle Miles say that
he sold $00 worth of cranberries one year
out of the swamp.” '
“Hump l” grunted Mr. Pytchley.
“And that's legal interest on $1,000. you
know," added his wife. “What do you say
Judith ?"
“It makes no difference to me,“ said Judith
quietly.
“It does to me, then 1” said Mrs. Pytchley. ,
“Because, as you know very well, Hobart's
business is in the'city, and we could do noth
ing at all with a lot of swampy land down
here in the backwoods."
So Mrs. Pytchley had taken the lion’s share
of the old man’s bequest, and gone back to
her city home, over Hohart’s grocery store;
and young Dr. Dediing, who had confidently
calculated on at least $500, to buy surgical
instruments and fit up an oflce in the village
adjoining—$500 as the dowry of his bride
elect—broke his engagement in a fit of pique
that Judith should have so deliberately flung
her fortune away. ’ _
“A- set of harpies i" cried he, with disgust.
“Stop, Dr. Dediing i” said Judith, coloring
up. " “You forget that you are speaking of
my sister and her husband."
“But they have no business to impose on
you thus !” exclaimed the doctor.
“I agreed to the plan without remon-
strance." ‘ '
Doctor Dediing shrugged his shoulders.
“In that,” said he sharply, “you show your
lack of common sense i If you have no
good regard for yourself, you might have had
for me i" -
“Was it for moneyryou wanted me ?” de-
manded Judith, stung to the quick.
Doctor Delling colored and hesitated. ‘
“A man must take monetary matters into
consideration," said he.
And so it came about that the engagement
was cancelled, and Judith Gray .was sitting
there alone in the wintry twilight, with '
clasped hands and head dropped low upon
her breast.
Dr. Dediing plodded home to‘ the village,
and as he passed the brilliant windows of the
little hostelry he paused, remembering the
bitter cold of the wintry air and the frosty
influence of the breeze.
“I may as well go in and warm myself," he
thought. .
Mine host met him with a cheery air.
“Walk in, doctor, walk in ," said he. “Not

hand upon the door k'nObOf the apartment he
usually entered. “The-_-railway cornmittee is

"‘The railway »-committ'ee f" echoed Dild-

about that old idea of a railway between here
and Glassville it”
”Yes,“ I do,” Said the landlord. "It’s a

The new railroad wasduly constructed di-

placed to Mrs. Marmaduke Redfield’s account
in the nearest national bank, and Mrs. Pytch~

taking the gold eagles instead of the cranberry

than this—it may not mean even a solution

While in Hartford General Grant explained
how he became attached to a cigar. When
at West Point he tried to join other cadets in
smoking, but the experiment did not agree
with him and he did not form the habit, nor
did he begin to smoke to any extent until he
began fighting the battles of the war. En-
gaging in the early contests, he found a cigar
of some service in relieving the mental strain
upon him, and when a battle was in progress
he often had a cigar in his mouth, but still
was not an inveterate smoker. On other oc-
casions he probably did not smoke so much
as most men of moderate indulgence. To
his surprise he found the newspapers making
a point of his smoking, and very soon boxes
.of excellent cigars began to arrive at his
headquarters from all parts of the country.
There were so many of them that all ofilcers
attached to his. immediate service were sup-
plied, and with such a supply he assisted in
the sampling until, as the campaign progress-
ed he enjoyed his cigar On all occasions, and
has since smoked as much as the best of men.
He thinks the newspapers influenced him a
great deal in the tobacco question. —Hartford

Democratic party, clearly defined and square-
ly separating the two parties. If they do
everybody will know that such claims are
not valid. It will be the same old story, on
the one side, of what the Republican party
has done to save the 'country politically and
financially, and when the wicked Democrats
would do had they the power; and on the
other side it will be the corruption and
frauds of the party in power. Now, there
are a class of voters who are not bound to
any party. They would like to_ enjoy the
freeman's privilege of selecting the candidate
for their suffrage without regard to party
lines. But this difficulty arises: this class
of voters believe in the government of the
people by the people for all the people and
it cannot be denied that the Republican
party is the~best representative of a national
party. It believes in political rights, North
and South; it believes in a free ballot, a
free press, and- free speech ‘without let or

it does not advocate the opposite of these, is

claim there is the same political freedom at
the South as at the North. A spenker from
the South can utter any, political sentiment
he wishes to, at any,time or place, in the Re
publican states, but could a stalwart Repub-
lican go South and speak his mind on South-
ern outrages and the policy of defrauding
the ballot- box, which in self-evident at the
South, without. personal risk? Will the
Democratic party in power at the South see
that every man is protected in his political
rights as the Republican party at the North
does? What the Democratic party needs to
secure success is not a solid South or any
particular man for its candidate ; it needs to
become a national party by denouncing all
oppression and condemning all wrong to any
citizen, white or black, poor or rich. It has
the power to make it safe foa any man to
talk, and act freely on his convictions, in
every district at the South. When it will
place itself on record as a party of freedom
and'equal rights, the independent voter will
then choose between its candidates and that
of the other party. We have do doubt that
there is a deep conviction on the part of
many intelligent independent voters thata
change of party administration would be
wise and best for the country. . But they do
not like the record of the Democratic party;
they do not like its Southern bull dozing
policy; they cannot help distrusting its
promises and pretentious. It is a pity it is
so. We believe the Democrats in power
would do better than their opponents will
admit, yet to secure success they must satis-
fy the non-partisan class that they are worthy
of their votes. They must become national
instead of sectional, in actions as well as in
words—Golden Rule.
A correspondent of the American Machin-
~est writes: “I am informed that English law
makes real estate out of anything attached
to a building. Thus, if you rent an empty
factory and fill it with machinery which you
bolt to the floor, the machinery so bolted be-
comes a contribution and a part and parcel
of the premises, and is not to be removed by
you when your lease‘is up. This condition
of law has led to the contriving ‘of a plan to
get around. Instead of bolting your machines
to the floor you bolt them to shoes previously
bolted to the floor. 'When you buy a new
machine it comes 'with these shoes on its
feet. You fix the shoes to the floor and then
fix the .machines to the shoes. When you
clear out you take your machines, but leave
the shoes as a souvenir of your respect for
the law."
Grown-Up Babies.
The young man who, under the pressure of
the least real or fancied adversity, takes to
drink, is a grown-up baby; but he is nursing
the wrong bottle. The young man who is
ashamed of his mother because she doesn’t
"put on style,” and of his father because he
doesn’t use elegant language, is a baby that
had no business to have ever grown up. An
overdose of soothing syrup would have been
a blessing to him. The cighteen—yenrs—old
girl who is sentimental,and sighs for his early
coming at the gate—well, she is a grown-up
baby that likes to sit in a lap as well as she

The boys were telling me a pretty good
one about a young fellow named Blakie. He
was in the hardware line. 'One day, when
the boss was at dinner, a countryman came
in to buy some nuts. He wanted a dozen.
Young Blakie looked at the price list and
found they were listed “25 cents a dozen, 30
off.” He gave a low, inverted whistle, and
then, with a sudden inspiration, he handed
the customer five cents, and told him he
he could buy the nuts at the other store.
“By George,” he said, when 'he was telling
the Governor of the transaction, “I thought
the best 'thing I could do was to save the
nuts, anyhow.”—Burlington Hawkeye.
Since the American Board was organized,
seventy years ago, it has received and ex-
pended $17,000,000 on foreign missions; has

also reducedto writing 26 languages and has
issued in 46 languages upward of 2,300 dif-
ferent educational and religious publications
There are 400,000 pupils under instruction
in its schools, and its missionarv constituen-

and from you ; then turn and walked toward
you. Observe if he goes freely and easily,
and plants his hind feet in the tracks of
his fore feet. Next, have him trotted by you
and back and forth, watch his actions close-
ly. ' ,

draws his head back his vision maybe de-
pended on generally as good, and no
blindness in him.
moderately prominent. Sunken eyes are
apt to get blind as the horse grows old, and‘
often characterize a vicious temper. Ex—
amine the teeth and see that- they are sound,
strongly set, and even. Luck at his fore legs
and notice if he has strong knee-joints, and
that they are not sprung. Examine the hind
legs closely, above and below the hacks, for
any swellings and especially for curbs and
spavins. Now look at the pastern joints, and
see if clear of cuts from interfer’ng, or if
there are any scars on them in consequence
of this. The pasterns should be rather short
for a carriage horse and not much sloping
If the latter, and long and elastic, they are
apt to give out at a hard pull. In a race
horse such pasterns are less objectionable, in
ahcnvy draft animal they are unpardona-
blc.
The feet are often passed over, but a
thorough examination of these is of the ut-
most importance. They should be . reason-
ably large, the hoofs clear and tough, free
from cracks, not shelly, and well set up at
the heels; otherwise, they will soon wear
down on the pavements or hard roads, and
the horse become foot sore. If always to
be kept in the country to work on a farm or
dirt roads. low heels are not objectionable;
lastly, regard the inside of the hoofs and see
that there is a good-sized frog to soften the
jar to the leg when the foot stamps on the
ground.
A pony built horse is the best for working
in harness, while a more tangy-bodied one,
with longer legs, may be preferable for the
saddle; but these should not be so long as
to be liable to weakness The legs from the
hocks and knees kown, in all horses should
be rather short than long.
If the tail lifts hard and sti_fi,it is usually
an evidenceof a strong back and quarters. If
it-“lifts quite limber and easily, the reverse. is
apt to be the case. .
'As to the age, this is readily told by the
teeth till seven years old, unless they are
“bishoped.” It is usual for jockeys to call a
horse eight when he is all thc’way from ten
to twenty; but an adept can give a pretty
shrewed guess as to this, for after ten years
old‘the eyes begin to sink, gray hairs come
into the head, and there is a want of youth—
ful look and vivacity. .
After all, there is a great risk in buyihg
a horse, even from an owner who is truth-
ful and. honestly disposed to speak of his
failings; for in many cases he is really ig-
nora'nt of what these are, or of incipient
diseases which may be lurking in the system
at the time of sale. As for tricks of jockeys
in hiding the age, faults, and covering up
diseases, they are'past finding out; and when
they trade with each other, even, the very
smartest and most knowing One gets cheated
easily by one much more skillful than him—
self in showing of a horse. It is only after
using a horse for months that all that there
is in him can be‘found out, and we have
known unexpected faults and vices to turn
up after possessing one for years.
In the city stables, so many horses are
kept under one robf and there is such a
want of proper ventilation, that “pink eye”
and the “horse distemper” are often pre-
valent there, or, if not shown at the time of
purchase, these break out soon after. It is
safest to buy a horse immediately upon its ar
rival in town, before he has a chance to get
diseased, and before the sellers have had a
chance to “slick him up.” Never mind a'
dirty coat and rough looks; you can clean
the former and smooth the latter, without
risk to the animal, as soon as you get home,
and after this he will probably show twenty-
five to fifty per cent. better than when you
bought him. One rather thin in flesh is safer
to buy then when fat, for this covers bad
points, and when worn down somewhat,
a rather fine apperaing horse turns out to be
very common looking.
A hole illustration of what would be the
effect of a Democratic “tariff for revenue
only," is given by the Trey Times. “At
Hart’s Falls the proprietors of the Cable
Flax Mills pay their spinners from $1 to $1,
10 per day. The same service in Great Bri—
tain brings 40 cents per day. The smallest
boy or girl in the Cable Mills gets the pay of
afull-grown man or woman in an English
mill. The pay—roll of the mill at Hart’s
Falls amounts annually to $100,000. 'With
‘a tariff for revenue only' it would be $40,-
000, supposing the volume of business should
remain the same as it is now. The officers
‘of that company, as well as the operatives,
are thankful'for a Protective Tariflf and the
news from Indiana.

An eminent citizen of Bridgeport, Conn.,
has received a letter from a friend, also a
citizen of Connecticut. who is residing tem—
porarily at Staunton, Ya. In the letter this
passage occurs : .In this place (Stannton), on
the main street floats a rebel flag_wlth ‘Han—
cock and English’ hanging to it. A large
one also swings in the main street. “They
are not half licked ” If the patriotic men of
the North do-their duty, they will (be thor-
oughly “licked" in November.

A young lady named De Hart, at Port Mur-
iner, Staten Island, has ‘recently passed
through a fast .of thirty—two days wrthout
food or water. The fast ended about a week
ago. It was not a voluntary. one, but was
carried out by recommendation and under
surveillance of her attending physician for
the cure of ulcers in the stomach. A cure
has been fieected and the young lady, ISIJOW
rapidly recovering and gaining flesh at the
rate of a pound per day. Her weight during
the ordeal was reduced from 120 to ninety—
fivc pounds. During the first two weeks she
suffered severely from the lack of food. At
one time she succeeded in evading orders
through the ignorance of a new attendant,
but succeeded only in obtaining water, which
she sucked through a Wet cloth. ~ At another

‘ Hancock and the“ «Battle of Get-
' tysburg. --
~ The veteran General James Watson Webb.
writing to the New York Tribune in refer-
ence to the unfounded claim that General
Hancock won the battle of Gettysburg, says:
“To General Meade hu'ever been awarded
the honors of that three days' battle; and
the political friends of General Hancock are
guilty of great folly aiweli as injustice to
both the living and the dead in setting up at
this late day the utterly unfounded claim
that Hancock won the battle and is rightful-
ly the hero of Gettysburg'. At the time,
neither Hancock nor anyof his friends pre-
tended to make any such claim. He had
the good‘fortune to be in command of the
left center, quite a mile in extent; and the
misfortune not to be on 2the-extreme right of
.that line where the great assault was made,
which had first threatened his left, and
where Webb, Cashing, Stan‘nard, Hunt.
Woodrufl', and Hill! had won imperishable
honors.- After he had been wounded he, did
not leave the field until Webb was reinforced
and sustained in his hand-tOohand contest
and the enemy repulsed. 'then Pickett fell,
Armisted led the assault,‘captured the stone
wall, and from the top of it drew his sword,
:placed his but upon it and "waiving it aloft,
exclaimed : 'Let us give guanine celd steél.’
General Mead died iutlla”-full.,.belief and
he had won the greatest finale "of the war,‘
and that the imperisha'blei’honor of his tri-
umphant victory would prove a rich inherit-
ance for his children. igfle little dreamed
that any of his brave assqclates would ever
attempt to rob his memory of what a grate-
ful country had so univerg’ally conceded, or
his children of their greatinberitance. And
intelligent people will indignantly frowu
upon thisbase attempt to s'acrifice the memo-
ry of the honored dead, to the ambition of a
livingcomrade, or to theireckless political
purposes, of traitor rebels, whose rebellion
he so efl’ectively crushed at Gettysburg.
We do not say, nor ddwe believe, that
Hancock has-prompted this ridiculous but
wicked and unprincipledg‘claim, seventeen
years after the bottle 91- Gettysburg, and
when history has so decidedly awarded to
the dead here the honors 6f the great battle.
But by his‘ silence he’sanctlcns it; and if he
does’not promptly denounifi the claim, thus
impudently put forward inijhis name and for
his benefit, those who, like myself, honor
and respect the brave and; gallant soldier,
cannot-fail to treat with tempt this yield-
ing to selfish political ex 'ency."
New England—Rum and Cider.
Sad indeed is the c6nditibngof‘New Eng-’
land as portrayed by J. R. Snyder, of Sono-
Wine and Brandy Manufacturers' Associa-
tion of California. In aii’ address delivered
by that gentleman before that organization at
one of its annual meetings; in Sacramento,
and printed in the minutes of said Wine
Growers and Wine and. 'Brsndy'Manufactn-
rers' Association, he says: “For years New
England has tried total abstinence. Fifty
years ago they were a healthyeand. robust
people. A pure air, which long cultivation
had freed from migrant“: pure water, plenti-
ful and wholesome food, comfortable dwell-
ings, warmclothing, the absence alike of the
cerruptions of wealth and the debasemeuts
of poverty,c0rreet morals and cleanly habits.
constituted conditions happy and salubrious
beyond parallel in the whole range of civili-
zation. They then d'rank rum and cider.
What is the result of abstinence from these ?
Sharp features, shrunken shanks, sallow
complexions, ___sloping shoulders, ving
'spines, contracted. rcltestsr shrlveled I. '89.‘
bad breath; young inen pale andwrinkled
at twent‘yfive, and valetudinarians at thirty;
young women whose bloom fades at seven-
teen never to return but with the fever glow
of consumption ;»mothers withering under
the first burdens of maternity, leaving chil-
dren such as are the material and legitimate
fruits of their own wretched condition—
pitiable blue—lipped, red—eyed, rose-cared,
pallid, scrofulous and rickety first fruits of
total abstinence. Without energy to be gay
or vigor to be dissipated,even the few amuse-
ments of their Puritan ancestors are forgot-
ten, and they early fall-into the sad, ascetic
insanity which their preachers inculcate, a
life whose secret lies less in their melanchol-
ly morality than in the general acidity of the
fluids that fill the places of blood in their
shrunken veins. Dyspepsia, neuralgia, con—
sumption are reveling in their vltais. But
the great desideratum for which they pine is
a specific that shall purify the blood. Quack
medicines claiming this virtue beyond naming
or enumeration load the shelves of their
village shops and swell the advertising col-
umns in their newspapers. Those whom
these spare, a cloud of_ practitioners of regu-
lar‘ and irregular medicine fall upon and
smitehip and thigh. The race is running
out and the grand experiment (of total abeti
neuce) just begun.” 0 benighted New Eng;
land! Listen to the yearning voice of the
president of the Wine and; Brandy Makers'
Association of California, as he weeps over
your sad desolation, that a little rum and
cider will cure.

A novelty in hand-cars has lately been
added to the stock of the Housatonic railroad
It is a our recently invented by Michigan
parties. It is somewhat similar in its work—
ing to a velocipede. It has three wheels (two
on each side and one on the other). The
driver (it accommodates but one) site between
the two wheels, and in working it. uses both
hands and feet. The motive power thus
employed enables him, to attain a speed of
from twelve to fifteen miles per hour. The
car is used principally for carrying tools, go-
ing toplaces of danger, flagging trains, etc.

MY LITTLE WIFE AND I. '
—
G. I. O.
—-
We are traveling o'er life‘s road together,
My little wife and I;
We are happy in fair and, stormy weather,
My little wife and I.
The reason why is very plain,
There’s nothing queer about it;
We never give each other pain
When we can do without it.
We have toiled o'er many a read most dreary
My little wife and I;
But our hearts were light when our feet were
weary.
My little wife and I.
The reason why we journeyed on,
Since hand in hand we started;
We ne’er had seen thejbattle won
By these who were faint-hearted.
Though our home be plain, that never teazes
My little wife and I:
Though a humble cot, right well it pleases
My little wife and I.
The reason why we are content
We do not fear to labor,
And though in toil our time is spent
We envy not our neighbor. 4 3
We never dream of ill for the marrow,
My little wife andi; ’
But take what,may como,be it joy'or sorrow,
My little wife and I. ‘
The reason why, we do not fret, '
And you'd do well to try it ;
We ne’er have found a person yet
That was a gainer by it.

The Silent Itoys In Blue.
Has the whole year but one lone day
In which our heroes do remember?
Shall we who decked their graves in May,
'Forget our duty in November?
Spring gave them flowers of purest white.
And well they matched each brave,blue coat;
But frosty autumn pleads their right.
To every loyal freeman’s vote.
They.died, but left for us to see »
Their battle flag should honored stay;
The sky around its stars to be
Forever blue, and never gray!
That Boy in Blue, who bore his part
Until he lay in Southern earth,—
Was not his bullet-silenced heart
' Asmuch as one white ballot worth ?
Men of the South, ye show the gray!
We once forgave; but still remember,
Float, rebel. flags, your little day,
Berbare the North Wind in November ! .
‘ AFTER THE FROST.
BY MRS. SARAH L. JONES.
A blight has fallen on the corn and vine,
1 All dry and shieveled are the lance-like
leaves, . ' . ‘ 7
The grape’s red cup has lost its pungent wine
And stubble tells of lately garnered sheaves
. The blossoms in the morning glory’s crown
Hang limp and blackened from the trellis
side. ‘ '
Beneath, the cricket sits in sOmbre gown
And pipes a requiem for the flowers that
died. '
Lane and deserted is the rcbin's nest,
The days are many since the blue-bird’s
flight, '
And long ago the tiny oriole’s vest .1“
Deeper and deeper flushed, wermilliOn
. bogus-- . " '
O bird! 0 floweret l' 0 sweet sunny hours!
0 spring of budding, longing and desire!
0 summer roses! vine-wreathtd, perfumed
bowers!
0 youth! 0 passion! Gone—while we as-
lre. -
Gone ;pyet, oh lives on which the first sharp
frost - ‘
Descends with blighting touch and wintry '
chill,
Take heart; the winter is not yet, nor lost
The splendor of the sunshine on the hill.
Not e‘en the tender breath of early spring
Nor hot caress of summer's fragrant prime
Such benediction to the heart can bring
As the soft kisses of this harvest time.
A purple .veil is on the land and sea,
A lotus languor in the quiet air,
All red and yellow flames the forest tree,
And autumn’s banners blazon everywhere
Earth's mether-heart is full to overflow ;
All garners from her ample store she fills;
The while she sits enthroned in regal show
Her farewell smile is on the distant hills.
So when for us the fair and frail of earth
Have dropped and whithered from the
sight away, _
The hill~tops shall be blight through garden’s
dearth,
And peace and hope shall crown the au-
tumn day.
An Old-Time Plea.
BY ems. .u. ELLA CORNELL.
There is a plea I often hear
In lisping accents spoken,
While quivering lip and frightened glance
The child‘s alarm bctoken. -
“I didn’t think my ball would strike
The mirror, when I threwit ;
Oh,-pleasc forgive me, momma, deer l
The bad man made me do it! ’
Then Arthur comes—my five-year old—
With grief and anger blended,
And brings his pony—minus ears—
And begs to have it mended.
I snatch the scissors which had wrough
Such mischief ere Iknew it,
While baby sweetly murmurs low,
“The bad man made mode it!”
He fills my books with pencil marks,
Cuts up my unread papers,
My cushion robs of every pin,
And many more such capers.
iI threaten, if he does not cease
His mischief, he shall rue it;
With looks demure he sweetly says :
“The bad man made me do it ll"
I find him holding with delight
(His'fingers daubed with candy)
My album of choice photographs
’ Which I had left too handy.
His thoughtful brother kindly prompts,
As ruel'ully I view it,
“Just tell her you were not to blame—
The bad man made me do it 1”
Ah, tlmpted Eve, you little dreamed
That down through countless ages
Your plea would come to us inscribed
Upon God's sacred pages; .
That e’en the children who have heard
Your sad, eventful story,
Their mischief fniu would all excuse,
And in your refuge gicry.
