"solemn stiffness" that one can almost
talk with his thoughts aloud, the lonely
katydid shrilliug her hoarse cry up in the
chambers of the elms and sycanrores, and
the crickets Ginning in with their melan-
choly refrain in the matted grass and fad
ed stubblc-then the hush is so complete
that the heart acknowledges the spell laid
upon it; the soul involuntarily assumes
the attitude of prayer; and the experience
that is born of the hour, silent and pro-
found as it is, makes close to the day as
fitting as it is spiritually memorable. No
man may yield himself to these influences,
and say in his heart, he is not both more
and better than he was before. He Sc
cretly confcsscs-if he is wont to watch
the silent processes of his own growth
that, with the days, he ripens too; and
that, along with the season, he may be-
come more and more glorious to the end.
This is no more, then, the years autum-
nal time than it is our own; in its broad
lap all the shcavcs and hopes are heapcd
and pressed down.
All, how we are carried back, far back
to other days, sitting and thinking of the
past, and of the loved ones who have gone
from us, but whose NE nories are still dear
and whose forms seem to hover near us.
Who does not like to sit down and live the
past over again? Who feels so sure of
having got all there is to be had from
these days and nights, these mornings,
and afternoons, and moonlit evenings
that he does not care to go back once
more, and CLEAN for a little while after his
earlier and briefer experiences

PRIDE.
By JOHN q. SANE.

IT'S curious fact as ever was known
But often in human nature shown,
Alike in castle and cottage
That pride, like pigs of a certain brood,
Will manage to live and thrive on food
AS poor as IL paupor's pottage!
OF all the notable things of earth,
The qucerest thing is the pride of birth
Among our fierce Democracy !'
A bridge across a hundred years,
Without II prop TO save it from sneers-
Not even a couple of rotten piers
A thing Of laughter, filings and jeers-
Is American arislocracy!
Depend upon it, my snobbish friend,
Your family thread you cannot ascend,
Without good reason to apprehend
You may find it waXed at the other end
By some plehian vocation
Or, worse than that, your boastcd line
May end in loop of stronger twine,
That plagued some worthy relation.
Because you flourish in worldly affairs,
Don t he naughty and put on airs,
With insolcnt pride Of station,
Dom be proud and turn up your nose
At poorer people in palmer clothes,
But learn for the sake of your mind rcpos
That all proud tlesil-wherevcr it goes
Is subject to irritation.
