DEATn oF ms FLOWERS,
nT aRFANr.

nT aRFANr. Tn. melancholy days are eome-ihs saddesi of ,he
 year.
 Of wailins winds and naked woods, and raea,Ov s
 brown and ssrei Heaped in rhe hollows oi the grove, the summer
 leaves lie dead-- They rustic to the eddyng wind, and to the rabbits
 tread.
 The robin and the wren have flown and from the
 shrubs the jay, And from the woOd-,op calls the Crow thro' all the gloomy day. Where the flowers, the bright young flowers that
 smiled beneath the feet, Of hues so passing beautiful, and breath passing sweet? Alas they all are in their graves-,he lovely of
 flowers, Are lying in their Iowly beds, with the fair and good
 of ours The rain is faingon their graves ;-but the chill No.
 vemberra rain, Calls no from out the silent earth, the lovely ones
 again. The wild flower and the violet perished long ago. And the briar-rose and orchs died amid the Summers glow; But the hill the golden rod, and .he astor in the
 wood. And the yellow sun-fower by the brook, in golden
 beauty stcv,-.. Till fell the frost from the clear, cold Heaven, falls
 the plague on men. s- And the blossom never smiled again by upland glade
 orglen. And now, when comes the calm, mild day, as still such
 days must come, To call the squirrel and the bee from their winter home; When the sound of dropping nuts is heard, though all the leaves are still, And wrinkle in the smoky light the waters of the Till The south wind searches for the flowers whose fra
 grance late he bore, And sighs to find them in the field and by the stream And then think of one, who in her youthful beauty The fair meek blossom that grew upand faded,by my
 side ;--- In the cold moist earth we laid her, when the te,. pest cast the leaf:-- And we wept that lovely should have life So brlef; Yet unmeet it was that one, like that that young
 friend of ours,-.- So buoyant and SO beautiful ---sI,oud perish like the
 flowers.

May enquire, sir, if you are from New England 2 said the landlady of the Pitts burg hotel 10 gentleman who was taking his tea in small barbour, which at his ear- nest request to be alone, had been prepar- ed for him. .
 He was not quite alone, however. The house was filled with company. This was in the autumn of 1918, when the tide of emigration rolled so rapidly from the east ern states to the west, as almost to cause a returning current; but the landlord, true Boniface, was fertil le in expedients. There was . small barbour, occupied by an artist who was. as.engaged in sketching views ofthe surrounding scenery-an odd genius, the landlord called hin,-certainly he was a very obliging man, for he consented that the table for the stranger should be laid in his apartment.
 ' 1t will be all the same as if. the gentle man were alone,' said the landlord to his wife. You know that odd fellow never speaks unless it is to his pencil. He may take mans face off, to he Sure, but he never troubles himself with questions about his business. I reckon he is not a Yankee, though never found out where he was born.'
 'May enquire, sir, if you are from New Englanda said the landlady to the stran- ger.
 T am, madam,' replied, he, raising his keen, dark eyes from his plate, and fixing them on her face, wirh look Of true Yam kee inquisitiveness, but yet blended with an air of perfect good breeding.
 The landlady hesitated, as if between her wishes to make further inquiries, and the fear of offending gentleman and guest.
 He saw her embarrassment, and to re- lieve it, carelessly inquired if she had any friends in New England.
 'Oh! no, sir, no,' she eagerly replied 'bnt here is poor family from that part of the country; a distressed family, sir and though my husband tells me never to be troubling our company with such stud, yet,sir. the poor woman begged me so ear nestly, if saw any person from N. Eng. lend, would let her know tt. And ] thought, too, youlooked somewhat like s clergyman

She called me once to her sleeping place, A strange wild took was on her face, Her eye flashed over her cheek SO white, Like a gravestone seen in the pale moonlight, And she spake in a low unearthly tone The sound from mine ear Lath never gone! s. stI hal last night the loveest dream; >~ Mine own hand shone in the summer beam, saw the. fields of the golden grain, heard the reaper's harvest strain; There stood on the hills the gre, pine tree, And the thrush and the lark sang merrily; A long and weary way had come, But I stopped, ,methought,b my own loved home ~.e ~ MIss JANnON.~
