THE EsD OF sUmnEn.


So gradually and SO imperceptibly has the
glowing warmth of Summer subsidized into the
mellowitemperatur Of Autumn, that, until re-
Gently, the transition was scarcely noticed,
and It was difficult to designate any point at
which it could be said, the one season ended
and the other began. The weather does not
always regard the almanac and it often
happens that Summer invadcs the month of
September and taxes possession of the cbiet
part of itsbrowing even tie beams Of its
waning splendor upon the confines Of Octo-
Der. For these encroachments, Winter. in
its turn, lays its frigid hand upon the realms
allotted to Spring, and seizes upon March as
its own proper domain
But we are now reminded that Summer is
really gone. The changing hues Of the for
rest foliage. gave notice some weeks ago Of
the gradual approach of colder season but
so mild q nd genial we're the suns rays so
bland the atmosphere. that the gorgeous ves-
ture Of the woods, with its many tinted col
ors, seemed rather the magnificent drapery Of
mature Summer, than the symbol Of APP
preaching frost
The frost has come. "The air bites shrewd-
~, as Hamlet says sit is very cold" That
is to say, we have bad passing nip from the
Arctic regions and coming as it does so close
upon the balmy breatbugs of lingering sum.
mer, it brings shvcring upon its wings.
1t is the harbinger Of Winter. Now the
long disused garments Of wooden, the cloak,
the over coat, are brought forth from the re-
cesscs where it is to be hoped some careful
housewife had packed them away ia security
from the moths. Now it is discovered that
the days are quite short. while the evenings
are growing longer and loppcr ard the ge-
NAL attractions of the fire side associated With
pleasant "reminiscences Of social and house
bold enjoyneuts, again claim their own and
have their claim allowed.
A transition point like this, at which
marked change takes place between seasons
at which we stand with Summer fresh
about us and look Winter in the face-con-
stitutes an interesting period in the year
and is analogous to some decisive epoch in
human affairs. when an old system, with its
associations still lingering and striving to
maintain their hold gives way to a new order
of things which inexoraoly demands its place
and sway. We bid adieu to Summer and its
flowers and turn to encounter the rugged
realities of Winter, as we would dismiss
from the mind some beautiful vision of the
fancy upon which imagination had loved to
dwell, and 20 to meet the call Of duty. which
gives us facts to deal with, and the inpera-
tive acquisitions of daily responsibilities ami

Many years Of trial. instead Of impairing the

benefit conferred on thousands OF sufferers. could
originate and maintain the reputation 1t enjoys
While many interior remedies thrust upon the
community, have failed and heen discarded, this
has gained friends by every other trial, conferred
benefits on the afflicted they never forget and
produced cures too numeroes and too remarkable
to be forgotten.
While j, is fraud on the publicto pretend that

not only as general thing, but almost invariably
cure the maladies for which IL is employed

known this medicine has gradually become the hest
reliance ofthe afflicted from the log-cabin Of the
American Peasant, TO the palaces Of European
Kings. Throughout this eatire country, in every
State, city, and indeed almost every hamlet il
tains, CHERRY PscroRaL is known as the best rem
edy extant for diseases Of the Throat and Lungs,
and in many foreign countries, it is coming to be
extensively used by their most intelligent physi-
clans In Great Britain France and Germany,
where the medical sciences have reached their
highest perfection, CHERRY PEcToaAL is introduced
and in constant in the Armies, Hospitals, Aims
Houses, Public Institutions, and in domestic prac-
tice, as the surest remedy their Attending Physi-
clans can employ for the dangerous affections
ofthe lungs. Also in milder cases, aud for chill
drcn it is safe, pleasant and efectual to cure. la

receive have been from parents who have found it
cifcatous in particularly incidental to child

NEWSPAPERS AND THEIR PATRONS


The Boston Bee has some very sensible and
trathiul remarks, in describing what some
people expect of newspapers. a great por
ton of the community. it says, suppose that
newspapers can publish everything that oc,
cars, far and near, and this whether t refers
to public or private matters. Indeed. it has
now come to pass that, in matters of purely
private and personal nature, where single
individual is to be alone benefited, the Gus
tom prevails TO trott off to some ore or all of
the newspapers, to obtain notice" If an
individual has notion IN his his head if he
iuagines he has made discovery or an in
yention; if he has constructed machoe, or
received package of goods; if be has become
possessed of some novel toy; bought calf
With two heads or five legs, he expects every
newspaper is to open its columns at any
length. and enlighten the public on the same
simply because he sis subscriber" or "buys
the paper every day." We agree with the
Bee in saying that these things have arrived
at a state when it is high time they were stop
ped. Ifpeople want their private business or
pleasure advertised, then let them pull out
their cash and pay for it, pay what and all
that it is worth. 1t costs publishers money,
aud good deal of it; they pay cash dorm
for everything they have and use--for labor,
paper. &c, and it is only from those whom
they individually benefit that they can OBJ
tain the means to meet their outlay.
