OCTOBER.

The summer rose is dead
The sad leaves, withered,
Strew ankle deep the pathway to our tread.
Dry grasses mat the plain,
And drifts of blossom slain
And day and night the wind is like pain.
No nightingale to sing
In green boughs, listening,
Through halmy twilight bushes Of the spring.
No thrush, no Oriole
In music to Uut.roll
The little golden raptures of bis soul.
VI
0 royal summer reign
Wbcn will you come again,
Bringing the happy bride across the main
O blossoms when renew
IouE pretty garbs, and WOO
Your waiting, wild bee lovers back to you?
For 10, my heart is numb;
For 10, my heart is dumb
Is silent lIll the birds and blossoms come
! flower, that lieth cold
ynler the wintry mold,
Waiting the warm spring breathing to unfold.
0 swallow | all too slow,
OEer the waves you go,
Dipping your light wings in their sparkling flow
over the golden sea,
. swallow flying free,
Fly swiftly with the summer back to me.

Cradle Song.

All by the sides of the wide wild, river
SurEiug sad through the sodden land,
There be the black reeds washing together
Washing together in rain and sand:
Going, blowing, flowing together
Rough are the Winds and the tide runs high
Hush, little babe, in thy silken cradle
Lgil, luIl, lull, lull, lull, lullaby
Father is riding home, little baby,
Riding home through the wind and rain;
F.inty hOofs on the flag stones beating
Thrum like a fail on the golden grain.
All in the wild, wet reeds of the lowlauds,
Dashed and splashed with the freezing foam
There be the blood red wings of the starlings
Shining to light and lead him home.
Spurring hard DER the grass-gray ridges
Stacking rein in the low, wet land,
Where be the black reeds washing togethar-
Washing together in rain and sand
Down Of the yellow -throated creeper-
Pumes of the woodcock, green and black
Boughs of salix, and combs of honey
These be the gifts he is bearing back,
Yester morn four sweet ground doves
Sang so gay to their nest in the wall
Oh, by the moaning, and OBJ, by the droning,
The wild, wild water is over them all
Come, o morning, come with thy roses,
Flame like burning bush in the sky
Hush, little babe, in thy silken cradle
Lull, lull, lull, lull, lull, lullaby

ENGLISH MARRIAGEs.-Marriages in En-
gland are becoming less and less frequent
than ever before. In the higher classes
marriage is effectually discouraged by the
tariff placed upon it in the increased cost Of
living and the greater demands of fashion
Men will not and women cannot marry un-
less their income reaches the required ex
penditure of the sphere in life to which
they have been educated. The man ha'
his furnished lodging and his Club, with a
free range of society woman become indie
penden, aud turn their attention to politics
social science, literature and art. Single
men and single women of mature age are
coming to be an important feature in Eng
lish society.

some and not to others; what now makes
the difference p suppOsing, of course, they
would say, Because some are good and
some are bad - but be was much astonished
to hear one little fellow sing out, Because

DRESS IN RELATION TO FIGURE.-In
adapting the dress to the shape and size of
the wearer, certain knowledge of drawing
and of the proper proportions of the figure
is of course the chief help. There are,
however, few well ascertained rules which
may safely be taught. One, for instance, is
that transverse shapes generally tend to les>
sen height and increase breadth, while long.
itudinal forms have the opposite effect. An
other well known rule (Which is easily ex-
planned by reference to optical science) is the
tendency of light colors 10 increase apparent
size, and rice oersa. People of more than
average size should be cautious about wear
ing white or very light coors for this reason
although it must always be remembered that
proportion and color impress the eye so much
more sensibly than mere scale that this rule
is a very subordinate one, and onlyto be ap'
piled after those more important subjects
have been thoroughly considered. 1t should
however, be remembered that moro than an
average size necessarily involves certain
degree of conspicuousness which makes any
popularity of dress doubly undesirable in
such cases. A small person may wear with
impunity both colors and shape which would
be inexcusably striking on a large figure.
Nothing goes so far to redeem unusual size
as complete repose both 10 form and color.
Much trimming loose ends and streamers,
friils and furbelows, and caprices Of all kinds
are apt to become intoerable when magni-
fed, while on a small scale they may please
by certain futtering airiness which is in
keeping with the impression Of a tiny crea-
lure. But here proportion may almost re-
verse the effect of scale. A short heavy
figure may even more imperatively need quiet.
ness 10 dress than one of twice its actual
volume which has run up into slenderness.

A Bull Fight in Terns.

was one day saunterng leisurely along
on loot In prairie not far from the San
bernard, when suddenly there sprung from
the tall grass, few yards before me, a large
orindled bull. He began to paw the earth
and exhibit unmistakable signs that his blood
was up. The brindle's attitude became mora
nenacing as l advanced, and | was within a
few PAGES of him when he lowered his head
for the attack, and attempted to draw INV

into the earth on either side of me. seized
his horns, as the only alternative, and at
tempted to hold him.
Now the struggle commenced in earnest.
His hot breath in my face almost sufocated
me. Still held to his horns with all my
strength, hoping that he would tire of the
contest and leave me. He drew me further
away from my only weapon of defense
finally, breaking loose from me, he retired a
few steps. l was afraid to move. There
he stood lashing his tail against his sides,
paving the earth, his red nostrils dstended
and bis eyes glaring like balls of fires. He
looked to me the very impersonatiOn of the
fend Of darkness himself He again bowed
bis head, one deep thunder-like roar came
from him and again he was upon me. As
before, his horns stuck each side Of me, and

horns, and he pushed me slowly toward the
spot where the contest had commenced. l,
by this time, was almost exhausted. The
bull, too, seemed somewhat fatigued. At
last he broke loose from my hold and backed
off few yards to renew the combat. | felt
that l should be unable to endure so unequal
a fight much longer. l looked around and
found that we were near the place where
the bull had made his first charge. My hat
which ! had lost On the first onset, was
lying near me, and fortunately but few
feet from it lay my revolver. 1t was my
last hope Of life With all my remaining
strength 1 sprang for and grasped my pistol,
just as the bull had gathered himself for
another attack. On he came, more enraged
than ever. His eyes seemed to emit sparks
Of fire as he rushed toward me.
