September.
Sweet is tho voice that calls
From babbling waterfalls
In meadows where the downy seeds are flying;
And soft the breezcs blow
And eddying come and 60
In faded gardens where the rose is dying.
Among the stubblcd corn
The blthe quail pipes at morn,
The merry partridge drums in hidden places,
And glittcring insects glcam
Above the rcedy stream
Where busy spiders spin their imy laccs.
At eve, cool shadows fall
Across the garden wall,
And en- the clustered grapes to purple turning,
And pearly yapors lie
Along the eastern sky
Where tho broad harvest moon is rcdly burning.
All, soon on field and hill
The wind sh al whistle chill
And patriarch swallows call their focks together
To fly from frost and snow,
And seek for lands where blow
Tho fairoI blossoms of balmior weather.
The pollen busted bees
Search for the honcy-lces
That linger in tho last flower of September,
While plaintive mourning doves
Coo sadly to their loves
OF the dead summer they SO we'll remember
The cricket chirps all day.
40, faircst summer, stay!
The squirrel eyes askance the chestnuts browning,
The wild fowl fly atar
Above the foamy bar
And hasten soutLward ere the skies arc frowninS.
Now comes fra grant breeze
Through the dark cedar trees
And round about NY temples tondly fingers
In gentle playfulness,
Like the soft cnress
Bestowed in happier days by loving fingers.
Yet, though sense of grief
Comes with the falling leaf
And memory makes tho summer doubly pleasant,
In all my autumn dreams
future summer CLEANS,
Passing the iaircst glores OF the present

declined it, simply because he chose
not to incur personal obligations to the
rule which he sincerely deprecated,
and was laboring in his humble sphere
to overthrow.
". Abraham Lincoln enjoyed no
striking natural advantages Of person
or intellect. lie was neither beautiful
in feature, nor graceful in manner; he
was not even eloquent. He was an
admirable debater, mainly because he
took care to thoroughly master aud
comprehend any subject before he at
tempted to discuss it; and his speeches
were transparently honest and candid.
No bearer failed to realize that he fully
believed what he uttered, and had un-
doubling faith in the views he main>
tanned and commended. His argr-
ments were cogent, his illustrations
lucid, his speeches effective, because
they had their root in profound, in,
telliyent conviction. Others elected
more frequent and louder huzzas who
won far fewer votes.
V. Unyie!ding tenacity of purpose
and resolution was marked cAarac-
teri>,ic" of our lost chief He was
slow in reaching convictions which
had long before flashed upon others;
but OFF nttaned, lie intlexibly ad-
hercd t6 them. Defeat and disaster
might for a time depress his spirits, but
could not shake his determination.
Never wra.hful or passionate, seldom
palpably exultant, he confronted Ca
lamity and discontinue as one who
8es through and beyond them. His
.eflorS and those of his suboydnstes he
calmly regarded as beacons to guard
against their repetition. Thus self
poised, vet void OF concet or presump.
ton, he steadily learned. and grew,
and was manifest !y a far wiser, graver,
more capahi~, competent Executive in
the last than III the first months Of his
Presidency.

We Watched Her Breathing

DY HOOD
We watched her breathing thro' the night
Her breathing soft and low,
Aa "n her breast the wave OF life
Kept heaving to and fro.
So silently we seemed to speak,
So slowly move about,
AS we had lent her half our powers
To eke her being out.
Our very hopes belied our fears.
Our fears our hopes belied.
We thought her dying when she slept,
And sleeping when she died.
For when the morn came, dim and sad
And chill with early Showers
Her quiet eyelid closed-she had
Another morn than ours.
