either of them. After sholt pause, Mr.

With many brilliant color;
The world is brighter than before
Why should your heart be dullera
Sorrow and the scarlet leaf,
Sad thoughts and sunny weather
All me this glory and this grief
Agree not well together.
This is the parting season this
The time when friends are a wing:
And lovers now, with many kiss,
Their long farewells are signing;
Why is the earth so gaiy dreSt
This pomp that Autumn bearelh'

On some blue morn hereafter,
Return to view the gaudy year,
Aud not with bOylsh laughter.
We shall then be wrinklcd men,
Our brow with silver laden;
And thou this glen mayest seek again
But never more maiden!
Nature, perhaps, foresees that spring
Will touch her teeming bosom,
And that few bIief months will bring
The bee, the bird, the blossom,

Or would less brightly wither
The virgin that adorns them so,

sons marry because it is the fashion; 9th
ers, because they don't know what else to

hayn't the wit to get a living. Goethe
married to be respectable; an old English
dramatist to spite his relations. An Irish
man who had declared he never would
marry second time, took a Protestant
girl for his second wife, ''that he might
save his SOUL" A story is told of fast
young man, who married woman old e
nough to be his grandmother, because he
owed her fifty dollars for board. But the
best reason ever given for marriage, was
assigned by a beautiful young widow for
wedding herself to rich old widower. Be-
ing asked why she 'took up with such an

INvERrSG Posrs.--1 put up, in the fall
Of 1914, some post and board fence. The
posts, which were oak, were cut in Janua-
ry, sawed two by three inches at the top,
and two by six at tho butt. put them
in the ground inverted from the way they
grew, and packed with limestone. They
are good and sound now. Posts of the
same timber, set at the same time, packed
with dirt, and without being inverted, are
three fourths rotted and worthless. am
now renewing my fences, with inverted
posts, ana packing with limestone, at an
additional costof ten cents per panel; aud
am sure that in fifteen years the increas-

The mails Of the Columbia announce
the death of Eugene Sue, the famous
French novelist: he died at his residence
in Paris on the 8thAugust.aged 40 years
We extract the folio wing from sketch
of his life in the New York Eoeain9
Post:
As writer, Eugene Sue possessed great
powers of vivid description, and lively
narrative. His works abound in horrible
and mysterious incidents, and won fayo'
with the lower classes by the vigor with
which their wrongs and sulferipgs were
contrasted with the vices and luxury OF the
rich. Notwithstan ing his socialism, he
has ALWAYS lived very extravagantly,as the
great popularity Of some OF his writings
enable him to do.

TransplantiHg Trees i'm the Au-
ssISasI

"Do you approve of fall planting e. 10 a
question asked us every day. Our answer
IS, Yes, under these circumstances:
lst. When the ground is of such ma
turc, and in such condition that water will
not lodge around the roots Of trees during
winter. To plant trees in holes sunk III
stiff, tenacious soils, is a certain method Of
killing them.
I'd. The trees should be perfectly hardy.
All delicate or half hardy trees should in
vsriably be planted in the spring. If it be
necessary to take them Up in the fall, they
had better be laid in by tie roots in dry
soil, sheltered from the cold cutting winds,
and, if necessary, protected with plenty of
boughs Of evergreen, or something Of that
nature.
Sd. We do not approve of planting eys
ergreen trees in the fall, unless the very
hardest sorts, and that quite early, say TO
September or first of October, in time Tor
the trees to re-root, partially, before hard
irosts; and they should be sheltered from
the sun and wind by a thick screen Of ev-
elgrcen. boughs, well secured around them.
4th. Plant trees eafiy-as soon as cir
cumstances will permit after the wood is
ripe. Don't wait till the leaves fall, but cut
them of, being careful not to injure the
buds. Late planting, however, if we'll
done, may be equally successful.
9Th. Secure all trees from being blown
about by the winds, and mulch with half
rotted manure or leaves three or four inch-'
cs deep.
Asparagus, rhubarb, gooseberries, and
currants should all be planted in the fall,
and as early as possible. Also, hardy
bulbs, such as hyacinths, tulips, narcissus,
crocus, crown-imperials, and lilies. 1t is
also the best season 10 top-dress and reno
vate neglected trees Of all sorts, to- make
new walks and repair old ones, to lay down
turf, and perform such operations as grad
ing, draining, trenching, &c. Our springs
are short, and hot summer weather very
often comes too soon. 1t is therefore well
to make coed Use Of every hour between
this time and the freezing of the ground

as tie seattle plague" "rinder-pest,"

DURATION OF Posrs.--The result of for
tv years experience and observation with
me, is that whatever fence posts set in the
ground green, and butt end downwards;
will last IN Il sandy loan about ten years.
The same set in like situation, top down
wards, will last fifteen or eighteen years.
The same timber, (and soil the same well
seasoned before setting, will last eight or
ten years longer. Timber cut in the old
