INDIAN SUMMER.


Oh this blessed Indian Summer
time How it makes the heart ache and
pine to be away in the woods and fields
to drink in the soft air-to listen to the
rustic of the falling leaves and bury the
feet in them-to hear the last songs of
the dear birds and bid them adieu 1t
is an agony to be tied down to the room
or to be confined to the walks of the
busy street, and yet itmust be endured by
the unfortunates who labor between walls
and in closed rooms. We can, however,
go cut with the poet and enjoy with him
the glorious time no walls can shut us
out from that privilege. The poets are
blessed race that they can so cheat
time and circumstances and feed us with
sweets which are soul comforts.
Thus sings Alice Cary:
Not the light of the long blue Summer,
Nor the hOwery huntress, Spring.
Nor the chilly and moaning Winter,
Doth peace to my spirit bring
Like the hazy and red October,
When the woods stand bare and brown,
And into the lap of the Southland
The flowers are blowing down.
Would that the sad Alice was now
where the hazy, red October could show
er in her lap the flowers blowing down
But she is.a prisoner in brick walls and,
like US, can only fly out of the great city
on the wings of her imagination.
Bryant, our Nature-Wtrshipper, thus
chaunts his song:
Ay, thou art welcome, heavenly, delicious breath,
When woods begin to wear the crimson leaf,
And suns grow meek, and the meek suns grow brief,
And the year smiles as it draws near its death.
Wind of the sunny South oh, still delay
In the gay woods and in the golden air,
| Like to a good old age released from care,
Journeying, in long serenity, away.
| In such bright, late quiet, would that
Might out life like thee mid bowers and brooks,
| And, dearer yet, the sunshine of kind looks,
And music Of kind voices ever nigh
] And when my last sand wrinkles in the glass,
Pass silently from men, as thou dost past.
Most beautiful is this May the great
hearted poet have his wish, and when
the last sand Of his glass passes away
may it be like the going out of Indian
Sunimer!-SaRdusky Register.

DON'T YOU PLAY.

"No, l don't play on any instrument, "
said our friend, Tom Pringle, in answer
to our question. =" To tell the truth, l
became discouraged by slight miscon-
ception, when was young man. l
wasn't appreciated, you know, and all
that sort of thing"
"Well, you see," said he, in reply to
another question, " it was about twenty
years ago, when was studying law, and
my brother was a medical student, that
we both fancied we had wonderful tai

We knew that up in our " study" no one
could hear us, but Betsy, the housekeep-

sure she would keep our secret. One
moraing, after We had been whileing the
long hours away with our music, to oul
own mutual delight, we came down late
to breakfast, looking, suppose, some
what unrefreshed.
You mustn't study too hard, boys, u
said our father, considerably.
"Yes, sir" said 1 gravely.

And Betsy gave my brother look of
withering condemnation.
Ny mother was cute enough to see
that something unusual was going on in
our study, and telling Betsy she would
inquire into it, she dismissed her for the
present.
That was the end of our musical prac-
tice, though not the end of the story, for

HIGH FOREHEADS.

TIE notion that high foreheads in wo
men as well as men, are indispensable to
beauty, came into vogue with phrenology
and is going out with the decline of that
pretentious and plausi lie science .
Not long ago more than one lady shaved
her head to give il an " intellectual ap-
pearance," and the custom of combing
the b lir back from The forehead probab-
" originated i'll the same mistaken ambi
ton. When ii is considered that great
expanse of fore head gives bold, maScu-
line look-that from irons forehead
comes the word affrontery"-il will
not be wondered that the ancient pain.
ters, scul ptors and poets considered low
forehead ga charming thing in woman,
and indeed indispensable to female
beauty.
Horace pra'se Lycoris for her low
forehead, (tenuis irons, and Martial
comments the same grace as decidedly
as he praises the arched eyebrow. The
artists in stone and pigments could moi
be made to consort with tall heads or ex-
tremely broad ones and accordingly ly

which proved to be a t,OO gallon one, and

MIR. Gilbert ordered some of his men
to roll the barrels out on the green,

council, they were knocked in the head,

a GENUTEE FRESHMAN.

A correspondent of the Home Journal
relates the following characteristic incl
dent of Irish tactics. He says:
Does the wide world contain another
paradox that will compare with real,
bona tide, unmitigated Irishman? I'm
a9ination and sensuality, poetry and
cupidity, generosity and avarice, hero
ism and cowardice-and SO on, to the
erd of the list; all colOrs, shades and
degrees of character coDgregated to-
gether, and each in most intimate asso-
citation with its intensest antithesis-a
a very Joseph's coat, and yet, most mar
velous of marvcls! perfect harmony
pervading the whole.
Among the "reminiscences of a months
soiourn at La Pointe, Lake Superior,
during the annual Indian payment of the
last summer, find the following truly
Representative anecdote:
One day while Commissioner MOny-
penny was sitting in council with the
chiefs, Intelligence was brought to Mr..
Gilbert (the Indian agent) that two or
three Indians were drunk and fight G.
at certain wigwam. With his usual
plomptitude, Mr.. Gilbert summoned one
of his interpreters, and proceeded di-
rectly to the lodge, where he seized the
parties and locked them in the little
wooden Jail of the village, having first
ascertained from them where they OBJ
tsined thei.' liquor. He then went i'm
mediatcly to the house they had desig-
mated, which was Z private dwelling,
occupied by an Irishman and his wife,
and demanded if they kept liquor to sell
to the Indians.
Both the man and woman, with u a.
tional vehemence and volubility-and
both at once, OF course, utterly denied
having a dhrop in the house, more NOT
a little jug full, which we just kape by
Us, Ike, for saysonin' the vittals, and
Sickness But, unfortunately for the
veracity of the parties. on searching the
premises, the interpreter discovered. in a
