AUTUMN WOODS.


Ere In the northern gate,
Ihe SUI mer tire sses OF the trees are gone,
The woods of autumn, all around our vale,
Have put their glory on.
The mountains that untold.
In their wide sweep, the colofed landscape round,
8eem groups Of giant kings in purple and in gold,
That guard the enchanted ground.
l roam the woods that crown
TIE upland, where the mingled splendors glow;
Where the gay company of trees look down
On the green fields below.
My steps are not alone
10 these bright walks; the sweet southw at play,
Flies nesting, where the painted leaves strewn
Along the winding way.
And far In heaven, the while,
The sun, that sends the gale to wander here,
Pours out on the fair earth his quiet smile
The sweetest OF the year.
Where now the solemn shade
Verdure and bloom where many branches meet,
80 grateful when the of summer made
The valleys sick with heat?
Let in through the trees
Come the strange ;the forest depths are bright
Their sunny colored foliage in the breeze,
Wrinkles like beams OF light
The rivulet, late unseen. trun
Where, Pickering through the shrubs, its waters
Shines with the image of its golden screen,
And ghmmerings OF the sun.
But meath yon crimson tree
Lover to listening maid might breathe his flame,
Nor mark, within its roseate canopy,
Her blush Of maiden shame.
Oh, Autumn why so soon
Depart the hues that make the forest glad;
Thy gentle wind and thy fair sunny noon,
And leave thee wild aud sad
All 'twere a lot too blest
Forever ia thy colored shades 10 stray;
Amid the kisses of the soft southwest,
To roam and dream for aye.
And leave the vain, low strife Ter
That makes irad the tug for wealth and pow
The passions and the that wither life,
And waste the little hour.

Miss Laura Claire, the beautiful daughter
OF Prof. Ignaz Claire, the astronomer, has,

engaged to Mr.. Alfred Vivian, the young
writer, author of Hell and Heaven

loved him devotedly, aud the preparations
tor the wedding were going on.
In the meanwhile Mr.. Joseph Morton, q

desperately IN love with Miss Claire, and
refused to be denied admittance to the
house, although Professor Claire had sew

he knew certain secrets about Miss Claire,

alone. This she finally consented to, and,

he would return the next day. To this
she smiled and said: Yes, | shall always

me any more silly questions, l shall be

Peat.
From the PHILADELPHIA IadRar.


The day IS not very distant when the
manufacture OF peat will almost, if not in
deed quite, rival the coal mining interests
of the country. All the tests which have
been made of peat confirm its great USE
fulness, and wherever properly made, it
must replace the wood, soon to be too
scarce to burn, where people do not like
coal dust and smoke. The deposits of
peat seem to be as general and as extern
sive as those of coal in the land, and much
may be expected from them. A company
called the Central" has begun to make
peat in Connecticut, three miles north of
Meriden, on the Hartford and New
Haven Railroad and the railroad,
which has been paying nine
dollars a ton for coal, contracts to take
all the peat the works can make, paving SIS
per ton, for fuel which trial proves will do
service ton for ton with coal The Grand
Trunk Railroad of Canada has long used
peat III preference to coal, as cheaper, and
as free from smoke and cinders The
Hartford and New Haven Road tested it
thoroughly in their shops, founderies, and
locomotives, before adopting it, August

A Strange Story about Richelieu', Head
From the New York Mai

On the 18th of December, 1866, the re-
mains of Cardinal Richelieu were to be re-
inferred with solemn ceremonies at the
Church OF the Sarbonne, in Paris. Some
occasion occurred for opening the coffin,
when 1t was found that the head was miss
ing. life fact was noised abroad; when,
suddenly the missing head turned up at
Blarrltz, IN the possession of one M.Armez
an ex deputy, who presented it to the EN-
peror, enclosed in an elegant box covered
and uned with velvet. This very head
| which once so proudly wore a cardinals
scarlet hat, and which enclosed the Won
| derful brain which had ruled both the king
and the Regent of France, tyrannized over
the queen, banished the queen mother,
and which lnstigated long series OF
bloody wars and SO ruthlessly prosecuted
the Protestants of France the very head
rolled aside, unheeded, when in 1898 the
the Jacobins desecrated the aristocratic
I tombs OF the church of the Sarbonne. But
the quick eye of tradesman, who was
upon the outskirts of the crowd, at last
spled 1t out in the corner into which it had
rolled. He took it up. and by certain
signs recognizing (which was not diff
cult in view of the palming process to
which it had been subjected he split it in
two parts, the face being all thxt he cared
for, and kept it as a curiosity for many
years, when he either sold or presented it
to Armez. And ga years after Richelieus
death, the face was found to be something
OF the color of Aeazon wood. The point
OF the nose had been slightly fattened by
pressure, snd the half-open mouth showed
two rows DIV ell-preserved and white teeth.
The moustac.e and imperial We're soanty:
but the hlstori"profile was in almost per
feet preservation. Inc Emperor had thi,
remarkable head, or rather this remarka.
BILE half bead, sent to keep company with
the trunk, to which it rightfully belonged.
and the remains we're Reinforced with
great splendor.

German Girls and the French Prisoners.

| Berlin Correspondence Boston Advertiser.
| 1t Is worthy of remark that no distinc-
ton can be observed between the treat
ment received by the wounded Germans
and the wounded Freedmen. Indeed
there has been considerable complaint that
prisoners received the most sympathy A
recent editorial in the Madgeburg Dische
Zeitung, one of the most respectable
dailies" Ill Germany, which for the secrets
1t exposes, ard for the delicate irony with
which 1t reproves some of the young Ger
man ladies' tor the excessive pity they have
shown towards the gallant prisoners, is
decidedly racy. 1t tells the story of young
lady at the railway station in X, who car
rled SIX smoking cups of coffee to car
containing only prisoners. The German
guard who had helped capture them begg
ed cup for himself, saying that he had
tasted nothing warm since he left
Saarbrucken. But she replied that it
was ordered only for the prisoners. Pre-
tending to open the car door for her, he
knocked the waiter from her hand and
dashed the six cups Of coffee upon the
pavement. TIE editor evidently reioic
ing over this act of the guard, discusses
the questions whether these young ladies
may not be permitted to crafty their
false sentimentality, the offspring of
novel-reading, and if they are to have go
opportunity to display their little smatter-
ing OF French, which they have acquired
with so much difficulty, and at the ex-
pense OF SO much hard-earned MONEY. In
answer to these questions the young ladies
are connselled TO attend, first, 10 the
wounded, friend and foe alike; secondly.
to the noble victorious Germans, who have
put their own lives in jeopardy 10 defense
of the fatherland; thirdly, to the French
prisoners not wounded; and. fourthly, If
anything should be left, and perhaps it
would be unjust to say that the writer
