NOVEMBER.-The sesson c1,nes. when, te6ioos
nights do cool the earth, and frosts congea the mar
Gun othe shallow pool and forests do their wtherad
honors and the yelowing heritage shrnks in ripencd
obedience; and leaves accumulate in bowers thither
borne by cddyinr gusts that howl portentous auo11
res OF heavier blasts, and storms and SHOWS far rea
surcd in the skies, to fall anon on shiverpn skukinr
man. There Is gray and drowsy mist uprising from
the chilly marsh folding with it's dewv veil Sic
cesEively the subby grass; the crecpiDn-viue the
sheares Of grain, the loaey deprecated corn stalks
and tne heap of hay last cropped it scecs the barn
high roof, the piRs-trees spmsst 1A and even yon-
der rugged preripice, whose a~ed brow frowns sl-
ly upon the spreading fog, like some grim bir-7yreh
portrait on tavern wall, making wry faces at the foul
Vlrgnian fume that idle smokers 30 send up from
shades below.
IT'S Autumn. Now farmers keep rare i,oIi 3g7,
measure crops, and subble glenn, and garner stores
and hoard supplies for hoely use making provision
large likewise for sheep and cattle swine and poultry
and the stranger that shall happily come within his
gatesthat when the cloud its eecy 0rist shall drnp
and snow drifts pile across the travellers way and
tempests rend and rive the tangled woods rciure
and sanctun shall he found beside his hearth plen-
sed with generous fuel, and around his board load
ed with smoking cakes, with pumpkin pies in conaor-
table ploters, broad and deep, and cider sparkling
brsky IN secured fagons and walnuts for the chin
ncy corner when the Jokes ripe and ready.
Now citizens prefer the sunny sidewalk and riiri-
nate on flannel with here and there thought af Win
tiers wood. The shool-boy, trudging forth at morn,
by instinct blows his thumb, whereon his satchai
hangs, and meditates n1ittens. Now congrerate
n tribes the wandering wild geese from the Northern
akPs' ana wend their noisy course above the oceans
enge, aWay,to Carolina warm and dismal Swannps-
and suffering mortals exc, dsquetudo with phtliisic
and rheumatic ais do flock towards the South where
belmy airs fail soothingy on vexed l.nrs and oin.s
do plant oroy, where FahrcnhCeit with zar, ba4n NJ

Cold Winter IS cGroDs-'lll s'rip tbc orogcs,
The passage bird bastcns away;
