Autumn brings us the ripened grain

Miss +. was in return-shall l say it

that something was wrong, and with a

monosyllabic answers at first, main

Who the Girls are.


In one of the factories in Maine
last winter, the proprietor reduced
the wages, whereupon there was Q
general determination to strike and
as they were obliged to give months
notice before quitting work, they, ir
the meantime issued circular to the
world at large, in which the following
interesting paragraph is found

MY COUNTRY COUSIN.
BY MISS MARY f. THROPP.
CHAPTER III.
|CONCLUDED.l |

AS the girls and myself were sitting
alone in the parlor early next morning
we heard the ever-welcome postman's
ring. Annie few to the hall, and in {
few minutes, returned with couple O
letters, which she held high above hel
head, playfully exclaiming-
Here they are, Miss Featherston
augh, bearing the motto of thine owl
true knight, God and my faire ladye.'
Miss Featherstonaugh sprang eager
ly forward and snatched them from hel
hand; but, on glancing at the super
scriptions, and seeing that neither was
for her, her brow darkened, and with {
sudden burst of passion she dashed
them on the floor; then, turning to the
startled Annie, with anger glowing il
every lineament of her face, exclaim
ed
"Do you consider that joke, Miss.
Ifyou do let me tell you that ! consider
it an insult"
"Oh, l beg thousand pardons!
assure you did not mean to offend
l only did it in fun" But without
needing, Miss Featherstonaugh brush
ed past her and left the room.
"Oh, Aunt Debbie," said the dis
tressed girl, "what have done p
Nothing, my dear at least moth

"Oh yes, Aunt Debbie, it was very

THE DEATH OF THE FLOWERS.

lhe melancholy days are come,
The saddest of the year,
OF wailing winds, and naked woods,
And meadows brown and scar
Heaped in the hollOws of the grove,
The withered leaves lie dead
They rustic to the eddying gust,
And to the rabbits tread.
The robin and the wren are flown, ..
And from the shrubs the jay,
And from the wood-top calls the crow,
Through all the gloomy day.
Where are the flowers, the fair young flowers
That lately sprang and stood,
In brighter light and softer airs,
A beauteous sisterhoOd!
Alas they all are in their graves;
The gentle race of flowers
Are lying in their lowly beds,
With the fair and good Of ours.
The rain is falling where they lie,
But the cold November rain
Calls not, from out the gloomy earth,
The lovely ones again.
The wind-flower and the violet,
They pcrished long ago,
And the brier-rose and the orchis died
Amid the summer glow.
But on the hill the golden-rod,
And the aster in the Wood,
And the yellow sunfower by the brook,
In autumn beauty stood,
Till fell the frost from the clear cold heaven
As falls the plague on men,
And the brightness of their smile was gone,
From upland, glade and glen.
And now, when comes the calm mild day,
As still such days will come,
To call the squirrel and the bee
From out their winter home
When the sound Of dropping nuts is heard,
Though oil the trees are still,
And twinkle in the smoky light
The waters of the rill,
The south wind searches for the flowers
Whose fragrance late he bore,
And sighs to find them in the wood
And by the stream no more.
And then I think of one who in
Her youthful beauty died,
The fair meek blossom that grew up
And faded by my side;
In the cold. moist earth we laid her,
When the forest cast the leaf,
And we wept that one 90 lovely
Should have life 20 brief;
Yet not unmeet It WAS that one,
Like that young friend Of ours,
SO gentle and 90 beautiful,
Should perish with the flowers.

Mr.. Bryant is native of Cummington, in
Massachusetts,, and son Of the distinguished
DR.. Bryant of that place. The father early
perceiving in his son indications of superior
talents, carefully instructed him, and gave di-
rection to his literary taste. At the age Of
thirteen, Bryant gave evidence of great preco-
city, in the produ ction of the Embargo .
and the "Spanish Revolution. His Than
atopsis was written in his eighteenth year.
He was educated at Williams College and fol-
lowed the profession of law, in Massachusetts,,
until 1925, when he removed to New York,
where he has since resided, most of the time
officiating as editor of the New York Evening
Post. Mr.. Bryants rank as poet is among
the very first in our country. We select from
among his best productions the following,
which, although familiar to many, will still
bear repeating:
