Autumn.

The fevered days of Summers reign,
Are DER and Autumn comes again--
Sweet twilight of the year!
The leaves that deck the forest trees,
And tremble in each passing breeze,
Are turning brown and scar.
And mark as in the groves you tread,
How many leaves, already dead,
Along your path are found!
Like mortal man, they have their day
To flourish, and then pass away,
And muulder in the ground.
The flowers that bic ssomed in the sun,
Are disappearing one by one,
Like stars at break Of day!
They teach this lesson as they go,
That all the fairest things below,
The soonest pass away.
How like the seasons Of the year
Our chargeful lives on earth appear!
First, Spring, when hopes are green
Then Summer brings maturer views,
And Autumn, so(tenca, paler hues,
And Winter ends the scene!
The earthly scene-but there shall dawn
Upon the SOUL another MORN
A never-ending year:
Where Spring and Summer nccr depart
Nor frosts of Autumn chill the heart.
Nor flowers disappear.
There no rude blasts shall ever blow,
Nor wintry storms Of hail and snow,
To light the heavenly sphere:
But glowing in the light of love
Arc all the bliss(ul realms above
Throughout that endless year.

Difference In Wives.

tits astonishing to see how man may live
on a small income, who has hardy and in
dustrious wife. Some men live and make a
far better appearance on six or eight dollars,
per week, than others do on fifteen or cigh-
teen dollars. The man does his part well, but
the wife is good for nothing She will even
upbraid her husband for not living in as good
style as his neighhor. while the fault is en-
tirely her own. His neishbor has n ncat ca
pable, and industrio is wifi. and that makes
the difference. His wife on the contrary, is n
whirlpool into which great many silver cups
might be thrown, and the appearance of the
wafer remain unchanged.

Delay loses the hour, haste the power.
Remember, the finest casts a shadow.
a spur in the head is worth two in the
heel
Conversation is the ventilation of the
mind
Keep aloof from quarrels; be neither Wit
ness nor party.
1t is better to encourage what is right than
punish what is wrong.
The grace which makes every other grace
amiabe is humility.
He keeps his road VOL enough who gets

A certain degree Of disregard for public
opinion is absolutely necessary for individual
dignity, virtue and happiness.

The laws ofnaturc are just but terrible.
There is no weak mercy IN them. Cause

Adam never came whining to Eve with
a ragged stocking to dc darncd, collar
string to be sowcd on, or a glove to

tea-kettle over himself, well venture,
and pulled the radishcs, peeled the ba-

to. He MIXED the cows, fed the chick

He pever brought half dozen friend

was over! He never stayed out till elcv-

sitting up and crying outside the gates.
He never played billiards, and drove
fast horses, nor choked Eve with cigar
smoke. He never loafed around corner
groceries while solitary Eve was rocking
little Gains cradle at home. In shcrt
he didn't think she was especially created
for the purpose of waiting on him, and
wasen't under the impression that it dis
graced man to tighten his wife's cares
That's the reason that Eve did not need
any hierd girl, and We wish it was the
reason tGat none of her fair descendants
did.-LJe Illustrated

Cling against the ribs to be let loose from
its earthly prison to fly to that home Of its
loving Savior on high.
The Doctors description of-ths depart
ure Of the soul from the body, and the
Priests prayers and assistance, vas grand

dark ship coming to take away the prec-
ous freight, his soul is intensified with SO,
Iicitude and devotion; he goes with his
charge to the very verge of eternity, and
a. be places it on board, and sees it depart
in that dark vessel across the ocean. he
loses not sight of it, but with uplifted
hands and eyes beseeches mercy for the
departed, nor ceases his supplications un-
til the immortal spirit reaches the arms of
It's Divine Creator"
The foregoing is but a feeble and very
inaccurate sketch of DR.. CahilI's most able
lecture last Sunday evening. No pen
could DO it justice, and it requires to be
heard from tile learned Doctors own elo-
quent lips to be appreciated and treasured.

A BLOODY lPICTURE OF NEW ORLEANS.
The New Orleans Bee presents a terri
be picture Of the crime and violence in
that city. Allnding to the statistics OF
crime for he months Of December and
January, it says:
From this statement it appeared that
twenty-four persons were shot and stab
bed in Decent mber-seven of them fatally ;
and that in January thirty one were sub
ject to the tender mercies of the revolver
or poignard, six dying of their injuries. Ia
this manner cases Of suicide, Of which their
WAS six, and Of infanticide, Of which there
are two. one omitted The number en-
braces exclusively the number Of those who
were shot or stabbed. and shows that in
two months fifty five such cases were
chronicled. And even this fearful cat
aogue would seem to be below the aver
age, since we find upon consulting the reg
listers Of the different Recorders, that in
the month Of November alone there were
fifty ak cases Of shooting and stabbng,
thirteen Of which were fatal So that the
last month Of autumn and the first two of
the present winter, were signaized by one
hundred aud eleven cases Of attempts to
Kill. of which twenty seven were actual
homicides. IF there is any city in the civ
iIized world which can offer a blooIer or
more revolving record, we are not aware OF
It's existence.
