AUTUMN.

There 10 a beautiful spirit breathing now
lts mellow richness on the clustered trees,
And from beak or full of richest dyes,
Pouring new glory the autumn woods,
And Oh ppI NJ in warm Ing ut the pIDared clouds.
Morn, on the mountain, lax "a summer bird,
Lifts ugh erpurple wing: and IN the Wales
The gentle winds sw eet and passionate wo0er-
Kisses the bushIng leaf, and s'lrs up tlfe 20
Within the solemn woods of ash deep -crlmsoncd,
And SILVER beech, and ma pie yelow-leaved-
Where Autumn, ike a faint old man, sits down
BY the way side weary. Through the trees
The golden robin moves the purple finch
That on wild cherry and red cedar feeds
"A winter brd-comss with ITS piaIntlve whistle,
And pecks by the witch hazel; whilst aloud,
From cottage roofs, the warblp ing blue bird sings;
And merrlly, with Oft-repeat ed stroke,
Sounds from the threshlng- floor the busy fail.
o, what glory doth this wsrld put on
For nm, that, with a fervent heart, goes forth
Under the bright and glorious sky, and looks
On duties ell performed, and days veil spent,
For him the wind, ay, the yellow leaves,
shall have voice, and give him eloquent teaching
he shall so hear the solemn ny mn, that Death
Has uftsd up for all, that he shall go '|.--. -
TO ms long resting place without a tear.

MY SISTER.


Up many fights of crazy stsirs.
Where on ones head knocks unawares;
With q rickety table, and without chairs,
And OILY q stool to knee TO prayers,
Dwells my sister.
There is no carpet upon the hoor, 49,.
The wind Whistles throu the cracks of the door
One might reckon her miserIes by the score,
But " no feels interest In one poor -.
Yet she Is my sister.
She wss blooming. and fresh, and yonnE and fair
With bright blue eyes, and auburn hair;
But the rose 0 eaten with canker care,
And her vlsage 10 markd with grim despair
Such II my sister,
When At early morning., to rest her head,
She throws herself on her weary bed,
Longing to sleep the sleep of the dead,
y OF fearing, from all she has heard and read:
Pity my sister.
But the bright sun shines on her and me-
And on mine and hers, and on thine and thee
Whatever our lot In life may be-
Whsthsr Of high or low degree,
Still, she's our sIster,
Weep for our sister.
Pray tor our sister.
Succor oar sister.
