INDIAN SUMMER.

Just after the death of the flowers,
And before they are buried in snow,
There comes festival season,
When nature is all sglow-
Aglow with mystical splendor
That rivals the brightness of spring
Aglow with a mystical splendor
Than aught which fair summer could bring
Some spirit akin TO the rainbow
Then borrows its magical dyes,
And mantles the far-spreading landscape
In hues that bewilder the eyes
The sun, from his cloud -pillowed chamber,
Smiles soft on vision 30 gay,
And dreams that his favorite children
The flowers, have not yet passed away.
There's luminous mist on the mountains
And light azure haze in the air,
As if angels, while heavenward soaring,
Had left their bright robes floating there.
The breeze is so soft, so caressing,
1t seems mute token of love,
And floats to the heart like blessing
From some happy spirit above.
These days, so serene and SO charming,
Awaken dreamy delight
A tremulous, fearful enjoyment
Like soft strains of music at night;
We know they are fading and heeting,
That quickly, too quickly they'll end
And we watch them with yearniDg affection,
As parting we watch dear friend.
Oh beautiful Indian Summer
Thou favorite child of the year
Thou darling, whom Nature enriches
With gifts and adornments so dear!
How fain would we WOO thee to linger
On mountain and meadow awhile
For our hearts, like the sweet haunts of Nature
Rejoice and grow young in thy smile.
Not alone to the sad fields of Autumn
Ddst thou a lost brightness restore,
But thou bringest world-weary spirit,
Sweet dreams of thy childhood once more.
Thy lOveliness fills us with memories
OF all that was brightest and best;
Thy peace and serenity offer,
A foretaste of heavenly rest

Caught In His own Trap,

A girl, young and pretty, and above all
gifted with an air of admirable candor,
lately presented herself before Partisan
lawyer.
"Monsieur, l have come TO consult you
upon grave affair. l want you to oblige
a man love to marry me in spite of him.
self How shall 1 proceeds"
The gentleman of the bar had, of course,
a sufficiently elastic conscience. He re-
fleeted a moment, and then, being sure
that no third person overheard him, re.
lplied unhesitatingly:
"Madamoiselle, according to our law,
you always possess the means of forcing 9
man to marry you. You must remain on
three occasions alone with him; you can
then 60 before Judge, and swear that he
is your lover"
"And that will suffice, Monsieuri"
"Yes, Madamoiselle, with one further
condition"
"Wellp
"Then you will produce witnesses who
will make oath to having seen you remain
a good quarter of an hour with the indi.
vidual said to have trifed with your affec-
ltions.
Every well, Monsieur, l will retain you
as counsel in the management of this af-
fair. GOOD day"
A few days afterwards the young lady
returned. She is mysteriously received
by the lawyer, who scarcely giving her
time to seat herself, questions her with the
most lively curiosity.
swell, Madamoiselle, how do matters
progress9"
"Cspital, capital"
"Persevere in your design, Madamoi-
selle; but mind, the next time you come
to consult me give me the name of the
young man you are going to make so
happy in spite of himself"
"You shall have it without fail"
A fortnight afterward, the young girl
again knocked at the door of the counseps
room. No sooner was she within, than
she flung herself into a chair saying the
walk had made her breathless. Her coun-
sci endeavored to re-assure her, made her
inhale salts, and even proposed to unloose
her garments.

"Well, now, tell me the name of the

"Well. then, the fortunate mortal, be It
known to you, is-yourself" said the
young beauty, bursting into laugh. 81
love you, have been here three times
tete-a-tete-with you, and my four wit
nesses are below ready and willing to ac-
company me to a amagistrate," gravely con-
tinued the narrator.
The lawyer thus caught had the good
sense not to get angry. The most singu-
lar fact of all is that he adores his young
wife, who, by the way, makes an excellent
housekeeper.

The Truth.

GAS grow older" says distinguished
preacher, 81 do not recede from sense of
the need of theology, but intensity in
my conception of the need of the simple
virtues, as they are called, and of no one
more than that of truth, not only in the
inward parts, but outwardly in the work.
The habit of yea, yea, and nay, nay, is
but very poorly formed in this country.
All throughout the national character, the
habit of saying one thing and meaning
another, the habit of equivocation, of half
speaking, of exaggeration, of suppression,
is fearfully prevalent And 1 hold that
among the things that should occupy the
attention of Sabbath Schools, and common
schools, and pulpits, is the indoctrination
Of this people in the necessity, and SIM
plicity, and beauty of speaking the truth
always"

Divorces.

A Philadelphia paper says; sApplic&-
tions for divorces have, it is said, greatly
increased within the last few years in our
city. 1t does seem astonishing what
hurry some people are in to sunder the
sacred bond, who, few.months ago, were
in just as great hurry to take upon them
selves the obligations and responsibilities
of married life.
They kiss and twitter like mated birds
for brief fortnight, and the third week
are brought up before the courts for
throwing smoothing irons at each other,
and indulging in other endearmeuts pecu-
liar to double blessedness. In some late
cases, husbands and wives have been off
the hooks before the taste of the bridal
cake and ale had been washed from their
mouths. There must be screw loose
somewhere. The fact is, the whole pre-
liminary business of eourtship is one grand
systematic course of mutual deception;
both parties persistently shut their eyes to
each others true character, and insist upon
investing each other with attributes which
neither possess, and which none but
angels ever do. They picture to them
selves for the future an earthly heaven Of
music, dancing, billing and cooiDg, gas
light soirees and picnics. This is the
poetic side of the question. The prose
reality comes 'the morning after the
revel, aud then-look out for cold coffee,
buttonless shirts, neglected hair dye, pal
lid cheeks, abandoned ringlets, and all
other accompauiments of domestic tor
ture."

A GirdIe of Steam Around the
World.

A Philadelphia paper calls attention to
the fact that the beginning of the new
year will witness the Inauguration Of I'M
broken steam communicating around the
globe, to be thenceforth prosecuted as reg
ularly as the arrival and departure of Eu-
ropean steamships at our wharfs. The
steamship Henry Chauncy will sail on the
l1th of December for the Isthmus; will
connect there with the Golden City for
San Francisco; and from San Francisco,
on the first day of January, the steamship
Colorado will sail for Yokohama, in Japan,
and Hong Kong, in China. Il, arrived at
the latter port the passenger wishes still
to journey westward, he can proceed by
the boats of the Peninsular. and Oriental
Company to Bombay, and onward through
the Red Sea, to the Isthmus of Suez,
which, crossed by rail, conducts to the
British line of Mediterranean steamers,
touching at Malta and Gibraltar, and ar
rive in England, where a few hours of
railway will enable him to take passage in
one of the dozen line of steamships for
this country-the supposed point of de-
parture.

Coarseness and criminality are near
neighbors; and a taste for refined pursuits
has powerful tendency to take men away
from vice. A coarse community invaria-
bly, yictimizes the weaker sex; and the
amount of civilization and human worth
in any society may be gnaged by the cul-
tivation of its women, and the respect they
receive.

Be CHEERFUL AT Your MEALs.-The
benefit derived from food taken depends
very much upon the condition of the body
while eating. If taken in moody, cross
or despairing condition of the mind, d.
gestion is much less perfect and slower
than when taken with cheerful disposi-
ton. The very rapid and silent eating
too common among Americans should
be avoided, and some topic introduced at
meals that all many psrtake in; and if a
hearty laugh is occasionly INDUCED in, it
will be all the better. 1t is not uncom-
mon that person dining in pleasant and
sociable company can eat and digest well
that which, when eaten alone and the
mind absorbed in some deep study or
brooding over cares and disappointments,
would be long undigested in the stomach,
causing aisarrangement and pain; and, if
much be indulged in, become the cause of
permanent and irreparable injury to the
system.

CRUELTY TO TURTLES IN New ORLEANS.

ing: professor Agassiz's letter on cru
city to turtles reminds me of the row Of
these animals one sees every day on ST.
Charles street, end the mania some peo-
pie have for 'poking' or kicking them.
Before the restaurant doors these animals
are laid upside down, their heads hanging
over in the most painful manner, where
half the men and boys who pass by stop
to give his fins or tail kick with the foot,
or poke with walking-cane or umbrella.
Sometimes the turtles are kept several
days. This morning l find one monster
lying upon his back very comfortably, his
head upon cigar box, cushioned with
wet rags, and looking very grateful, if a
turtle can change expression. Upon his
white breast bone is placard, saying
