'Tis Autumn and the fading leaves
Sail slowly down upon the wind,
Leaving like Death when he bereaves
The living germ OF hope behind
'Tis Autumn, and the sun is Gim
His Summer fire is nearly G, me-
The breeze waits out Inournful hymn,
And all the earth is sad and lone
Ills Autumn over land and main
veil of azure haze is thrown,
AS if the parent heaven again
Had claimed our planet for its own;
And the blue vestments of the sky
For garniture of glory given,
TILL scarcely can the s,raining eye
Tell which is earth or which is heaven.

Selfinterest always sticks out somewhere

entire, telling it as twas told to US:
80, Lord, (said the Scotchman,) if it is tn.
desire to show thy power among the children G
men, pray thee to show it upon me. Civ
me not riches, neither give me poverty, but
O Lord, give me comfortable competency
And if there is any doubt in high Heaven as t
what constitutes a comfortable competency
make it three hundred pounds a year, payabl
quarterly, the first quarter in anvancc. Thes
favors,n &c.
