Fall Fashions. eta =

Nature is about to introduce her
fall styles for the woods and forests.
The trees are getting their green tn-
MICS embroidered with amber, and
will appear in complete suits Of parti-
colored vegetable rags. as soon as
their well-worn summer garments
have undergone the process of dye
ing. They make gallant show in
their lustrous bravery, so long as
their "vthers are unwrung;" but
whom they slip their skeleton arms
out of their coats Of. many colors,
and appear vita limbs and trunks in
"pnre nature" we regard their ma
kedness with feeling akin to dis
gust. Winter, known in common
parlance as the "gay season" is to rs
the most melancholy division of the
year. Commend US to a sleeveless
climate, where snow is only used as
a material for mountain night-caps,
and solidilied water is an imported
commodity. Frigidity is a nuisance.
Give US an atmosphere warmed by
Ph@bus at his own expense "a land
uninfested by coal-merchants, aud
where anthracite is unknown. Give
US the frame of nature unglazed with
Jack Frost's brittle manufacture
Talk not of ice unless YOU would give
