OCTOBER.

The woods Of October. how brightly they glcam
Whom sunlight is streaming their branches between;
The crimson and orange, the green and the gold,
All forming picture most fair 10 behold!
love there 10 wander at twilight alone
And list u the wild winds low, musical moan
As II singeth duge for the summer departed,
\ requiem low for the desolato- hearted.
The skies Of October. how soft is their hue,
When sunlight and roselght are blended with blue,
And fair aercy clouds float il quiet away.
Like islands Of peace in some beautiful hay,
And when night irawc,h round her dark mantle oi
gloom
The fair shining stars the deep darkness Hume
And gmmer like lights IN those mansions oF love
Which Christ hath prepared Tor his children above
D. dear native month. best beloved Of the year.
The children Of summer may call thee severe,
And weep that thy rude winds should scatter the
flowers
Which blossomed brightly in summers gay
bowers;
But t. mo with instruction thou ever art rife:
For thou bringest 10 mind the October ofllie,
And youths summer. know, is not always TO stay,
Not always We bask in the sunlight of May

DoCTRINE OF COMPENSATION.

There are countless hosts Of insects, says
Professor Jaeger, that often destroy the trees,
bushes, and Vegetables ofour gardens, fields,
and forests. by eating their leaves; and such
are very generally despised on that account
much as we may admire their beautiful col
ors and motions. If We were able we would
destroy them all at once But we forget
that our trees with al their beautiful foliage,
are not more pleasing to us than the teathered
warblcrS that build their nests on the branch
es, and gladden. us with their happy songs
We should take from our groves and forests
half their charm if We were To expel vuy
robins, thrushes, mocking birds, jays, or
oles. tauagres, tnches, blackbirds. and many
hundred others. And yet were We to ami
hilate eaterpillars, our gardens, woods, and
fields would soon be abandoned by the whole
tcathered tribe who feed on them, and me
lnncholy sadness shroud the abodcS of man.
Ardently then, would We long for the return
of the noxious caterpillars, and with them
the Joyous songsters of the forests. Ia like
manner We ignorantly despise. and c"ntrvr
means to destroy. mai. birds who destroy
our vegetables, without considering that
they rid us ola much greater evil III destr"!
ing millions of mice and noxiouS insects.
So beautifully is the doctrine of compenSa-
ton illustrated throughout the animal king
DOM as we'll rs in all the objects of nature.
