Trouble.

Trouble is more frequently made
than sent. If every person would
take the world as it is, its joys and
sorrows, and yield at once an humble
reconciliation to what is unavoidable
there would be far more happiness,
and infinitely less misery than there
is. Six thousand years experience
ought to convince mankind that there
are clouds here as we'll as sunshine,
and the man who starts life with the
expectation that everything before
him will be smooth and uninterrupt-
ed, is simply a dreamer who knows
nothing Of the worlds realiues.--
Wealth cannot shield us from dsap-
polntment and atilction, and poverty
is not as heavy on the heart as the
cares brought on by the possession OF
uncounted riches. We cannot keep
death away from our door, no matter
how faithfully we may guard It's por-
tails, nor can we so control the mlud>
and dispositions of others that the
most tender ties and associations are
not at times snapped asunder. Let
rs take matters as they come. and try
to be content. If We are prosperous,
we should rejoice and give God the
praise. If we fail in our enterprises.
and find our plans Of business d"arlpd
and thwarted, let us submit cooIly to
the visitation, and try again, with re
newed hope and effort. There is 10
use lameuting when lamentations will
do no good, or shedding teals when
they only tend to LeiShten our sor-
rows. The grave will soon cover our
troubles, and there is a happy life be-
yond which we can make our own, nc
matter how the world treats US.

AUTUMN LEAyES-UoW to Preserve
Them.-The leaves of Autumn are
beginning to assume the most beautl-
full tlnts-crlmSon, russet, orange gold
and variegatel colors, and the ques-
tlon now presents itself, which is the
best method Of preserving them? OF
late years the preparing and shipping
of rare specimens Of leaves from Anne
rican forests to Europe III boxes, has
assumed the form of trade to consl-
derable extent, and the fancy shops
in the large cities are each fall sup
piled with the finest varieties that can
be found. The process Of preserva-
ton is simple: a few thick blotting
pads, some sheets Of drawing paper, a
camel's hair brush and some am Der
varnish are all the necessary appll-
ances, save thick book to press the
leaves between the blottlng pads so as
to extract the moisture before they
are vanished and placed upon the
paper. Already the leaves are turning,

The Great Mystery.

The body is to die. No one passes
the charmed boundary comes back to
tell, The imagination visits the land
Of shadows-sent out from some win
dow of the soul over lites restles
waters-but wings its way wearl!y
back without leaf in it's beak as a
token of merging life beyond the close
bending horizon. The great sun comes
and goes in jhe heavens, yet breuthes
no secret of the ethereal wilderness.
The crescent moon cleaves her nightly
passage across the upper deep, but
losses overheard no sisnals. The sen
tinel stars challenge each other as they
walk their nightly rounds, but We
catch no syllable of their countcrsign
which gives passage to the heavenly
camp. Between this and the other
life there is u great gulf fixed, across
which neither feet nor eve can travel.
The gentle friend hose eyes were
closed in their last long sleep long
years ago, diel with rapture in her
wonder. stricken eyes, lsmile Of lnef-
table JOY on her lips, and hands folded
over triumphant heart; but her lips
We're past speech - and intlmntlng
nothing Of the vision that entAralled
her.

r H Z PARTING SON.

Grtth we give up one by one,
All these golden autumn days.
Ere the green earth turHeth dim
And the dead leaves strew the way.
Yet each blade, and bud and flower,
Green or crimson, blue and gold,
Are endowed with largest dover
OF all blooms that ere unfold.
Not one sombre tint they borrow,
Nor signal once display,
OF distress about tomorrow
But enjoy their brief to-day
Lo, the naples, like the flowers,
Don their gaycst for their last,
And the elm still grandy towers,
Crowned with gold when green is past.
Let us then with kindling eve
View the slowly waning year,
Drcading not wntry sky,
Dreaming not of fields all scrc
If the closing days have como,
Of carth's verdurc and sweet bloom,
Sing VIC songs oi harvest home,
And oar hearth stones know no gloom.
Let each golden day vouch.afed us
From the smiling heavens above,
BE an added link to bind us
Closer with the chain Of love.
