FALLING LEAVES.

They are falling, slowly falling,
Thick upon the forest side,
Severed from the noble branches,
Where they waved in beauteous pride.
They are falling in the valleys,
Where the early violcts spring,
And the birds in sunny spring time
First their dulcet music sing.
They are falling, sadly falling,
Close beside our cottage door;
Pale and faded, like the loved ones,
They have gone forever more.
They are falling, and the sunbeams
Shine in beauty soft around;
Yet the faded leaves are falling,
Falling on the mossy ground.
They are falling on the streamlet,
Where the silvery waters flow,
And upon its placid bosom
Onward with the waters go.
They are falling in the church-yard,
Where our kindred swectly sleep;
Where the idle winds of summer
Softly o'cr the loved ones sweep.
They are falling, ever falling,
When the autumn hrcczcs sigh,
When the stars in bee uty glistcn
Bright upon the midnight sky.
They are falling, when the tempest
Means like oceans hollow roar,
When the tuneess wind and pillows
Sadly sigh for cvermore,
They are falling, they are falling,
While our saddened thoughts still go
To the sunny days Of childhood,
In the dreamy long ago.
And their faded hues remind US
7 of the h!ightcd homes and dreams,
Faded like the falling leaflets
Cast upcn he icy streams.

A TRUTHFUL SKErcH.-Let q man fail
in business, what wonderful effect it has
on his former creditors! Men who have
taken him by the arm, laughed and chat
ted with him by the hour, shrug up their
shoulders and pass on with q cold.
"How do you dol
Every trihe of bill is hunted up and
presented that would not have seen light
for months to come but for the misfortune
of the debtor. If it is paid. well and good;
if not, the scowl of the sheriff, perhaps,
meets him at the corner.
A man that has never failed knows but
little of human nature. In prosperity he
sails along gently waited by favoripg
smiles and kind words from everybody.
lie prides himself on his name and spot-.
less character, and makes his boast that
he has not an enemy in the world.
Alas the change.
He looks to the world in different
light when the revcrses come upon him.
He reads suspicion on every brow. He
hardly knows how to move, or do this
thing or the other, for there are spies
about him, and writ is ready for his
back
To understand the kind of stuff tho
world is made of person must be unfor-
tunatc and stop payment once in his life
time. If he has kind friends then they
are made manifest. A failure is moral
sieve; it brings out the wheat and shows
the chaf. A man thus learns that words
and pretended good will does not constf
tute real friendship.

A year passed by, and peace lowered
once more over our bleeding country, and
Aubrey Morton, clothed in citizens dress
and crowned with hero's glory. was
spending the winter in New York CITY.
He had not yet sought for Ethelyn Mars
ton, but had promised himself that in the
spring he would go to Mystic Valley, and
do what his heart had already despised-
gain the affections of a woman only to cast
them off. His only hope was that Ethe-
lyn might not love him, though be had
promised to do all in his power to gain her
love. One glorious night in mil-winter,
Aubrey Morton entered the spacious draw
ing room of Mrs. Dana, which was already
filled with the eclat of New York. He was
growing tired of all this show and affection
and disgusted with fashionable life. He
saw pretty Mrs. Davis at the upper end
of the room and went to her Immediately.

WHO WILL CAREs

Who will care2
When we lie beneath the daisies,
Underneath the churchyard mold,
And the long grass o'er our faces
Lays its fingers damp and cold;
When we sleep from care and sorrow,
And the ills of earthly life
sleep, to know no sad Tomorrow,
With its bitterness of strife
Who will care?
Who will care?
Who will come to weep above us.
Lying, oh SO white and still,
Underneath the skies of summer,
When all natures pulses thrill
To new life, glad and tender,
Full of beauty rich and sweet,
And the world is clad in splendor
That the years shall er repeat
Who will care?
Who will care?
When Queen Autumn S flowers blossom,
And she stoops in pity down,
With white flower for our bosom.
Taken from her royal crown2
Who will come TO kneel in pity
BY our long and narrow bed,
When the wild winds sing their ditty
In the grasses DER our head
Who will care?
Who will care?
When the Springtme's glad smile fingers
On the meadows, fair and wide,
And she drops from rosy fingers,
Bloom and leaf on every side;
Who will come with tender yearning,
10 the graves of those they miss?
Who will sigh for our returning
10 their preseHce and their kiss
Who will care?
Who will care?
Who will think Of white hands lying
On still and silent breast,
Never more to know of sighng,
Eyermore to know of rest?
Who will care? No one can tell
But if rest and peace befall,
Will ii matter if they miss us,
Or they miss us not at all?
Not at all?

MUTTON VS.. Pom K.-Physicians recon-
mend mutton as the most wholesome meat,
the easiest digested, and best suited to in
vallds; while pork, as everybody knows,
is the most unwhol esome flesh eaten. In
England, mutton is a favorite dish. and
we apprehend it is to this, rather than to
roast beef, that the Englisbman owes his
robust healthy and rosy complexion. Our
people eat too much pork and too little
mutton. And yet as contemporary well
remarks, mutton can be produced h. for
Id. at less than half the price of pork; yields
more nourishment when eaten; and keen;no
sheep does not exhaust farm to the ex7
tent feeding hogs does. Sheep can be kept
during the winter on hay and turnips, or
manngle wurtzel, or sugar beet, while hogs
will not do without, at least, some corn .

CHICAGO, Nov. 13.--A Special Committee OF

yesterday afternoon into the charges against
Miss Herrick, teacher in Skinner School, alleged
to have punished pupil so severely as 10 induce
brain fever, and probably death. The physicians
were examined, as well as several pupils the
teacher herself, and the mother of the child
The physician discovered no marks or bruises
on the bead, but the arm was lame, and the
right wrist swollen. Some of the eaildrcn tcs-
tilted that the child was ierkcd against the steam
pipes in the school room. ..
The teacher admitted that some part of the
childs body struck the steam-pipes. She did
not relinqush her hold upon the child. The
evidence appeared to indicate that there arc
cases where the children are subjected to study
so severe as to induce brain disease. The COM
mittee will make its report at the next meeting
of the Board of Education ....
