Signs Of a Hard Winter.

SIsIiS VI IHnTU
The unusually abundant crops of chestnuts,
peanuts and chinquepins indicate, it is said, q
very severe winter. All signs fail sometimes,
however, and we much hope this may be one of
the times. Whether the scientific men through
out the country who have been predicting long
freezing and showing spell base their opinions on
such little things as peanuts and chestnuts We
do not know. 1t is to be hoped they have moth
ing more substantial to go on The early ap-
pearance OF winter weather in the Northern and
Eastern, States has, perhaps influenced them in
their predictions more than any signs or even
known scientific facts, Let US eat the-nuts and
trust that for this time signs and science are

Inside this Northern Summers fold
The fields are full of native gold
broadcast from heaven on lands 1t loves;
The green-veied air is full of doves;
Soft leaves, that sift the sunbeams, let
Light on the small grasses wet,
Fall in short, broken kisses sweet,
And break again like waves that beat
Round the suns feet.
But tor all this English mirth
OF golden-shod and dancing days.,
And the old green grit sweet hearted earth,
Desire, what here no spells can raise;
Far hence, with boiler heavens ABOVE,
The lovely city OF nv love
Battles deep in the suns satiate air,
That flows round no fair thing more fair,
Her beauty bare.
There the utter sky is boiler, there
More pure the intense white height of air,
More clear mems eyes than mine would meet
And the sweet springs of things more sweet
There, for this one warm note of doves,
A clamor of a thousand loves
strains the nights ear, the day assais
From the tempestuous nightingales,
And fills and fails.
