A U II u M N.

When Nature wears her russet gown,
And swallows to the South have flown
When grapes turn purple on the wall,
And from the boughs the ripe pears fall
When lambs and sheep grow thick with wool
Then Autumn's lap with fruit is full,
whan corn is gathered in the barn,
And reeds are rafting in the tarn-.
When patridges in coveys fly,
And dogs and men are company
When squirrels fll their nutty store,
Then Autumn'n morn with frost Is hoar.
When sleep mico hide their sleek, fat forms,
And deep in earth bore ringed worms
When leaves como rustng down from treeo,
And flies the cattle cease to tease,
Then oak his sturdy arms doth bare
TO battle with the Autumn air.
When silent robins beg for crumbs
And old men tumble with their thumbs
When fires show again in halls,
And bats hook on TO dark warm walls.
Then cold wind whistles DER the moor,
And Autumn shuts the summer door.

{" Dirie's Land."-The most popular

"Dirie's Land."-The most popular

is the plantation negro melody OF
"Dixie's Land.'' Throughout the east

there were eight brass bands present,

An amusing anccdote is told in regard
