AUTUMN.

' AUTUMN.
 New sheavss gre slsnted to the sun, Amid the golden meadows, And little un-tanned gleaners run To cool them in the shadows: The reaper binds the bearded ear, And gathers in the golden year; And whore the sheaves are glancing, The farmers heart is dancing
 There pours . glory on the land.
 Flashed down from Heavens vide portals
 Az Lsbor's hand grasps Beauty's hand,
 To VOW good will to mortals; The golden year brings Beauty down, To bless her with marriage crown. While labor rises, glsaning Her blessings and their meaning.
 The work Is done, the end is near,
 Best Heart, to flute and tabor;
 For Beauty welded to the Year,
 Completes herself from Labor; She dons her marriage gems, and then She casts them of, as gifts for men, And sunbeam-like, it dinner, The fallen jewels glimmer.
 There is hush of joy and love
 Now giving hands have crowned us; There is . heaven up abovel
 And heaven here around us! And Hope, her prophecies complete, Crssps up to pray at Beauty's feet, While with thousand voices The perfect earth rejoices! When to the Autumn heaven here
 Its sister is replying, 'Tis sweet to think our golden year
 Fulhlls itself in dying; That we shall find, poor things of breath, Our own souls loveliness in death, And leave, when God shall find us, Our gathered gems behind us.

TuE FIT or ApsTRACTIoN.


IT was on a sharp, frosty day at the latter end
of December when standing up at the window
to look at the trees, powdered over as they were
with snow, and at the poor half-fsmished birds
that we're rendered tame by the severity OF the
season, that gave way to fit Of benevolent
abstraction. will endeavor TO set down my
ruminations.
co." thought ], "that Il we're possible for me
TO do some kindly deed to every man, woman
and child under the canopy Of heaven 0 that
could, for once in my life, make every eye
sparkle, every pulse throb, and every heart beat
with delight Had the power, the poor should
be made rioh, the rich more aflluent than they
ore. and the one and the other should have heav-
enly hopes added to their earthly enioyments."
Now this was all very beautiful and no
doubt thought so, for continued my musings Of
benevolence.
Z" How delightful 1t would be to comfort the
afflicted, to raise the fallen, to lberae the cap
tive, to heal the sick, to bind up the bruised and
broken, and to scatter abroad, wide as the world,
the elements of peace, comfort, satisfaction,
happiness, and delight"
If anything, this latter burst of philanthropy
was finer than the former; and most likely, at
the moment, my countenance frightened up in
contemplating the fair picture which my fancy
in such glowing colors had drawn. But not yet
was the fountain of my good nteusions dry, or
the treasure house of my muni6cence exhausted,
for thus did ] continue my abstraction
Had the power and the opportunity to bless
mankind, friend and foe should alike be the par
takers of my bounty misery should be unknown,
unkindness should be banished from the world,
and the nations of the earth should celebrate an
unbroken jubilee of joy"
By the time that l had arrived at this exalted
climax of philanthropy I stood toIerably high in
my own estimation, and how much higher l
might have elevated myself it would be hard to
say but, at the moment, my opposite neighbor
opened his door to let in a strange cat, which
had for some time been mewing in the cold he
brought out too, directly after, some broken
vctuals to shivering lad, who had undertaken
for triae to sweep away the snow from his
door, and scattered liberal handful of crumbs
around for the benefit of the poor birds.
With shame and confusion I reflected on my
useless thoughts, and on my neigh5ors deeds.
/ had stood stock still, idly dreaming on imag-
mary kindness, while he had really performed
three acts of unobtrusive charity When shall
we learn that benevolence consists not in think
ing, but in doing? real penny outweighs an
ideal pound; and cup of cold water given with
kindness Is better than rivers of oil flowing only
in the imagination.
