The Month of August.

summer is on the wane, and that the

have already fallen, and among ber-
rics where summer hung out her bios.

footsteps among the dry seed d.vessels,
which have usurped the place of her

dead and gone, and in their place the
green baws hang crudcly upon the
hrap.shes The winde como not q

all the field tiowers are gone the
beautiful feathered grasses that waved
like gorgeous plumes in the breeze

only a green, noworless aftermoth
Many Of tho birds that sung in the
green chambers which she hung for
them with her richest arrays, have
left her, and gone over the sea. What
few singers remain, are silent, and

In the old Roman calendar, August
bore the name Of Sextillis, as the sixth
mouth Of the series, and consisted Of
but twenty-nine days. Julius Cesar,
in reforming the calendarof his nation
extended it to thirty days When,
not long after, August conferred on
its own name, he took day from
February, and added it to August,
which has consequently Gser since
consisted Of thirty-ono days. This
great ruler was born in September,
and it might have been expected that
he would made the month under his
patronage; but a number of lucky
things had happened to him in Aug
ust, which, moreover, stood next to
the month Of his illustrious prcdeces-
sor Julius; so he preferred Scxlllis as
the month which should be honored
by bearing his name, and August it
has ever since been among all nations
deriving their civilization from the
Romans.

Husband and Wife,

the band of the house, the support of

There are many married men who are
not husbands, because they are not
the band of the house. In many
cases the wife is the husband; for
often times il is she who, by her pru-
dence, and thrift, aud economy keeps
the house together The married man
who by his dissoluto habits, strips his
house ofull comforts, is nota husband,
for he is not a house band insiead of
keeping things together, he scatters
them among the pawn brokers.
