SeurRRELs AND A SIGN HARD WINTER.
The Detroit Advertiser says squirrel hunt took
place near that city last week Thursday. The
total killed was 1850 Other papers notice like
wholesale slaughters. The squirrels seem 10
abound this fall in unusual profuslon all over the
country For some weeks past the woods in the
neighborhood of Fort Erie, across the river, have
virtually swarmed with them. Within the past
week or two they have crossed the Niagara to this
side in immense numbers. The rapidity and width
OF the river, have, of course, proved fatal to many
of them, have nevertheless succeeded in gaining
our shore, whence they push off south. On the
Allegany river, we are lold they are so numerous
that it is not deemed worth while to waste powder
and shot in killing tl,em-those wishing for squi'
rel pie stand the banks ofthe stream and Knock
the little vaimint the head with stick as they
swim across. This apparent general emigration
of the squirrels the south, is held by the Indians
and others knowing in such matters, to betoken
hard winter

October has come-the sweetest saddest month
Of all the year Its and its gorgeous forests
how beau,i and brief as beautiful their eorge-
Gus dyes.
There is pensve beauty in October days; au-
umn is now clothed in her Iovclest drapery the
forest leaves are not yet dry and crisp; nature has
not yet put on her frgid aspect, but the signing of
the breeze and the falling leaf is natures knel for
her fallen gIories; soon all these beautiful things
will have lost their beauty, all these bright things
their brightness. This changefn though lovely
scenery, lends touching spell to autumn days
Go into the thick deep wood; listen to the hushcd
deep murmur OF the breeze as it gently undulates
the glorious and richly coored folinge; look away
into yonder vault of heaven, in this sunset hour;
how the Respondent hues of topaz and amethyst
and gold beautifully blend with each other, and
stream in living light the other sky 1t is
the very gate of heavcn-and the lone star, seems
beacon light, hung from his golden portals to
| guide erring wanderers home. We can also
hear their blesi voices they mingle around the
throne of the Most High.
| Whose soul will not kindIe within him, and
whose spirit will not thrill with ecstacy on contem
plating scenes like these Who does not feel that
he is holding converse with pure beings that he is
"Just on the boundary Of the spirit land,
Close to the realms where angels have theft
birth ?' l .r ....t
How eloquent is nature?-who is not rurer and
better when he listens to her voice Fl ow inns
pressively does God speak us, a: this sweet sad
season How he eis his goodness and glory pass
before us He makes all nature beautiful, and
gives us faculties to enjoy his beauties. Sweet
| flowers ye too, in your ever varying hues and de
licious odors, whispering the name ofyour Creator.
Ye wear the richest dyes, and send forth the sweet
est fragrance, as yon are about TO fade and die!-

The autumn of our days is coming. But if we
are ready, like TIM glorious forests and beoutifF
flowers, we may wrap our garments about us, and
