- When Autumn, in reverie lost,
The mellow daytime dreams away;
When Summer comes, IN musing mind,
To gaze once more on hill and dell,
To mark how many sheaves they bind
And see if all are rpened we'll
With balmy breath she whispers low,
The dying flowers look up and give
Their sweetest incense, ere they go,
For her who made their beauties live
She enters meath the woodlands shade;
Her zephyrs lift the lingering leaf
And bear 1t gently where are laid
The loved and lost ones of its grief
At last old Autumn, rising. takes
Again his sceptre and his throne:
With boisterous hands the tree he shakes,
Intent on gathering all his own

And waiting Winter, gaunt and grim,
Sees miser Autumn hoard his grain,
And smiles and thinks t's all for him.

A NEW STORY BY CHARLES READE.

The 10. .15 train glided from Paddington,
May Z, 1S47. In the left compartment of
a certain first-class carriage were four pas
sengers of these two were worth descrip-
ton. The lady had smooth, white, deli
cate brow, strongly marked eyebrows, long
lashes, eyes that seemed to change color,
and geod-sized delicious mouth. with teeth
as white as milk. A man could not see her
nose, for her eyes and mouth her own sex
could and would have told us some nonsense
about it. She wore an unpretending gray
ish dress, buttoned to the throat, with
lozenge-shaped buttons, and a Scotch shawl
that agreeably evaded the responsibility of
color. She was. like duck-so tight her
plain feathers fitted her; and there she sat,
smooth, snug, and delicious, with a book in
her hand and soupcom of her snowy wrist
just visible as she held it:
Her opposite neighbor was what call a
good style Of man-the more to his credit,
since he belonged to corporation that fire.
quently turns out the worst imaginable
style of young men. He was a cavalry Of
fcer, aged twenty five. He had 2 NOUS
tache, but not a very repulsive one not
one of those sub-nasal pigtails, on which
soul is suspended like dew on shrub; it
was short, thick, and black as coal. His
teeth had not yet been turned by tobacco
smoke the color of tobacco juice, his clothes
did not stick or hang ON him, they sat on
him !; he had an engaging smile, and, what
[ liked the dog for, his vanity, which was
inordinate, was in his proper place, his
heart, not in his face, jostling mine and 9TH
er peoples, who have none; in word, he
was what one oftener hears Of than meets
young gentleman. He was conversing in
an animated whisper with companion, a
fellow -officer-they were talking about,
what it is far better not to do, women. =
Our friend clearly did not wish to be over
heard, for he cast, ever and anon, a furtive
glance at his fair uis-a-vis, and lowered his
voice She seemed completely absorbed in
her book, and that reassured him. At last
the two soldiers came down to whisper,
and in that whisper (the truth must be told }
the one who got down at Slough, and was
lost to posterity, bet ten pounds to three,
that he who was going with us to Bath, and
Immortality, would not kiss either Of the
ladies' opposite upon the road. "Done p

good looks, and the temptation-ten to

After Slough the party was reduced to
three; at Twyford, one lady dropped her
handkerchief; Captain Dolignan fell on it
like tiger, and returned to it like lamb;
two or three words were interchanged on
that occasion. At Reading the Marlborough

RK.-There is u perennial nobleness
and even sacredness in work. Were he
never so benighted, forgetful of his high
calling, there is always hope in man that
actually and earnestly works; in idleness a.
lone there is perpetual despair. Work,
ever SO mammonish or mean, is in commu-
nication with nature; the real desire to get
work done will itself lead one more and more
to truth; to natures appointments and re-
gulations which are truth Consider how,
even in the meanest sort of labor, the whole
soul of a man is composed into kind of
real harmony the instant he sets himself at
work. Doubt, desire, sorrow, remorse, in
dignation, despair itself, all these, like hell
dogs, lie beleaguering the soul Of the poor
day worker, as of every man; but he bends
himself with free valor against his task, and
all these are stilled, all these shrink mur-
muring far off into their caves. Blessed is
he who has found his work let him ask no
other blessedness.

My reader has OWNED the truth; this

incomplete and happy subjugation to his
daughter, our heroine.
As he was taking leave, Dolignan saw
his divinity glide into the drawing groom -
he followed her, observed a sweet consci-
