A SONG FOR FALL.
That's it! that's 1t,
Just listen bit.
From the folks at the great Marble Hall
Comes word of advice
So sound and so nice
For the present season of Fall.
Button your coat
Up to your throat,
And see that you're warmly clad;
Or with cold in your head
You'll be sick in your bed
Which will be exceedingly bad,
And you'll stay in bed
With the cold in your head,
And compelled to be somewhat quiet
Till you We had enough
Of the doctors stuff,
And all sorts of sick folks diet.
Better beware,
And always take care
To be properly clad for the Fall,
In suitable Clothes,
Just such as those
Which are sold at the great Marble Hail.
Sound advice which all prudent people should fol-

evident, and isregarded BY many thought

is not natural, but acquired. In this
physiological fact we discover a beautiful
illustration Of the beniguity Of the Diviue
character. God has constituted those
made in his own image that thev cannot
become druukafds without accomplishing
the destruction Of that principle Of aver.

In the human constitution; but when that
principle Of resistance to evil has been
overcome, when that element Of selfcou-

then an Illustration, not of the benignity
Of Gods character, but Of that stern, in
exerable principle Of retributive justice
which pervades the divine government. -
In the physical world there Is no forgive
ness Of sins. Let man, by accident,
waywardness, or folly, be deprived Of bis
