hand for the benefit of its timely use in cases of
mergency, but recommend it to all their friends
1t has been before the public FOR nearly ten years
and yet is daily developing new virtues many dis
eases have been cured by it., for which the proprie-
tor had never recommended it; its magic virtues
spread through the land with the speed of light.

AUruMNAL FoRrsrs. - A COMMON
The beauty Of an autumnaI
forest is frequent theme Of remark by
travellers and others Interested in Ma.
ture. But there is a mistake often COM
mitted in regard to this matter. 1t is
that Of altrlbu,ing the variegated APP
pcarance Of an hutumnal Forest TO frost.
A young lady said TO the writer a few
days ago, 'lhe frost begins TO turn the
leaves" A little less than year ago,
in passing amidst the splendid scenery
of the Green Mountains, between Pitts
field and Springfield where each hill.
top seemed like grand bouquet of
flowers, gentleman said, "the work Of
frost" A visitor to the Wyoming Lead
Mines (Pennsylvania) has given the
following passage:
The varied trees OF the forest touch.
ed by the frosty fingers OF death, were
changing their countenances before
passing away. There was standing
one clothed in scarlet, every leaf as
brigh, and red from It's crown 10 the
ground as il i, had been on fire anoth-
er was clad in aVesture Of gold, and yet
another purple; anu these were mingled
with evergreens and parti-colored trees,
making strange-hued and surprising
ly beautiful panorama, such as the eye
took in with new and constantly incrcas-
ing delight"
The description itself is beautiful o.
we'll az The grand scene it sets before
US. But the mistake,as above signified
10 in attributing this beauty, this vare-
gated appearance, to frost. 1t is the ri
pening oil the leaves, that gives the
crimson, golden and other hues, as the
blush Of the peach, the crimson Of the
plum the golden appearance OF the ap-
pie, and not the result OF lrost, but oi the
r,psning Of the iruit. The "irosty' fin
gers are indeed TO these delicate classes
Of vegetables fingers Of DEATH At
their touch, all this beauty. alike in
lruit and leaf and flower, disappear

Tar MrrEoRs. We watched for the
annual meloerlc shower on the evenings
Of the 18Th and l4th, but saw nothing
OF the display. We remember most
vivdly the one that occurred on the l3 n
Of Nlvember, 1888, which was one OF
the most wonderful ever recorded. Tie
meteors seemed to fail as thick as liukes
of snow in d snowstorm, and many
thousands were seen in the course of IA
few hours. Muller calculates that in
nine hours 10 less than two hundred
and forty thousand fell. Many persons,
much frightened at beholding the stars
falling, as they conceived, to the earth,
supposed that the day OF final Judgment
was about to come, and were relieved
when clear and serene day dawncd
and the phenomenon ceased. But such
estimates are general, vague, and un-
satisfactory. Such was the rapidity
with which they fell that no one could
count them aud such the vast expanse
OF the heavens which they covered that
no estimate could approximate 10 the
truth We witnessed them Tor several
hours from All eligible point on the top
OF one Of the highest buildings in the
city. The whole heavens, east wcs',
north and south, from the "zcni,h to the
nadir," were covered with them, and
:hey retired only before the light oi the
uprising Gun. The spectacle was one
of the mosi grand anI sublime we ever
| oked upon.

PHANTOMS.

BYE HENRY W. LoNGFELLow.
All houses wherein men have hved and died
Are haunted houses. Through the open doors
The harmless phantons on their errands glide,
With feet that make no sound upon the floors.
We meet them at the doorway, on the stair,
Among the passages they come and go,
Impal pable impressions on the air,
A sense of something moving 10 and fro.
There are more guests At table than the hosts
Invi,ed the Illuminated hall
l. thronged with quiet, inodensivc ghosts,
As silent as the pictures on the wall.
The stranger at my fresde cannot see
The forms see, or hear the sounds hear
lie but perceivcs what is /; what is unto me
Al that has been is visible and clear,
We have no title deeds to house or Lands
Owners and occupants OF earlier dates
From graves forgotten stretch their dusty hands
And hold in mortman t,ill their OIL estates.
The spirit world around this world OF scnse
Floats like an atmosp' ere, and everywhere
Watts through these earthly mists and vapors
dense
A vital breath Of more etherealdir
Our little lives are kept in equpoise
BY opposite attractions and desires
The struggle of the Instinct that enj VS..
And the more noble instinct that aspres.
The periubations, the Ieiretual jar
OF earthly wants aud aspirations high,
Come from the influence Of that unseen star--
That undiscovered plane, in our sky.
And as the moon, from some dark gate OF cloud
Throws o'er the floating bridge OF Iigh,
Across whose trembling planks our iancies
crowd,
Into the realm Of mystery and night
So from the world Of spirits there descends
bridge Of light, connecting it with this,
Ger whose unstead, floor that sways and bends,
Wander our thoughts above the dark abyss.
