Fashionable people who. have wearied out the
pleasant SUMMER months at some crowded wat
ering place, have returned to their homes and
business. Merchants havedecorated their windows
with Fall Styles and1the streets are crowded
with ladies who are out to see the fashions and
annoy polite clerks. Palm leaf hats and linen
coats are selling off at cost, 10 make room for
furs and woollens, The Schools have reopen
ed, relieving the Streets of pesiiferous crowd
of rude boys and pert girls North West winds
chant The requiem of flies and mosquitoes and the
frost King has waved his sceptre over the
green fields and pretty flowers. Fat people have
become jolly as club of army contractors and
can venture out without danger of dissolving
Dimpled arms and alabaster necks are lost to
sight or are seen only in the dreams of old bach
elors and silly school boys. Stove merchants
are Furnishing their armor for contest with Old
Boreas, and Coal dealers rub their hands to the
tune of Thirteen Dollars Ton" Editors re-
gale their readers with "The Melancholy DAYS"
and young ladies draw sentimental comparisons
between the fading Of flowers and the failing of
loves FIRST hope. Preachers talk about the Au-
tum of life and make frequent illusions to ''the
sere and yellow leaf t.'''s'l' ~. PIG.
Prudent housewives are busy laying up
stores against the Winter, and peaceful abodes
are given up TO the usual turmoil of a
House cleaning. jolly looking porkers are being
fattened for the coming slaughter and visions of
| big Thanksgiving dinner begin to float through
our dreams. The Sun which used to steal into
our bed rooms so provokingly early, has become
shamefulIy diatory inhis habits and ere he has
gone half way up the Heavens, steals away be-
hind the Western hills like guilty school boy
The nights are clear and sharp, the air is stiff and
bracing, and nature, in gorgeous apparel
of brown and purple and orange, seems sinking
into that soft repose which precedes final disso-
luton. 81 81 sDdai1 a.5di H.af'33ia ah3 D2A
- snow stir the fire, and close the shutters fast,
Let fall the curtains, wheel the sofa round,
And while the bubbling and loud Kissing urn
Throws up asteamy column, and the cups,
That cheer but not nebriate, wait each, f.a o
So let us welcome peaceful evening i'm
The long Winter evenings are coming. The
time for Singing Schools and Debating Clubs =:
the time for social pleasures and home comforts
d
and mental improvement the time for reading
books and newspapers the time when every
family in Baltimore county should have a copy
of the ''Union'' on their centre table, that they
through it may look out upon the bnsy world
around them as through some ''loophole of re-
| reat," and see what is going on. Peace, plenty
and prosperity fill our homes. The great sad
war is over 1.-THE union is restored ;the nation is
safe. Our brave soldiers have come back to us,
all who willie come The election will soon
be over; Copperheads and Independents will be
whipped, and the County affairs, being in good
hands, will go on smoothly and prosperousy -
Then we will have more space to devote to Fami-
ly reading, and perhaps by the New Year we will
still further enlarge the Union, SO as to make it
the best Family paper in the State. Every house
hold should have such a paper. 1t will
yield an amount of pleasure and improvement
during lifelong Winter nights which cannot be
calculated. Parents want it for their home news
and children want it for amusement and instruc-
ton A home withouta weekly newspaper is
destitute of one of the dearest treasures. No one
should or need be without it, At the low price
of Two Dollarsa year. the Union is within the
reach of all. Let US receive many accessions to
our subscription list and we promise to give you
good value foryour money, in our weekly visits
