The Little Things of Life.


1t is the little babbling springs
That flow 80 sweetly on;
The Iivulets that course their way,
The grassy hills among;
That to US greater blessings prove,
Than mighty foods more grand,
Or cataracts that nature pours
From tho hollow Of her hand.
We need but one Niagara
For continent or world
We gaze thereon in silent awe,
This wonder to behold,
But It's the thousand silver rills
That this same world requires,
That fill our hearts with thankfulnes3.
And answer our desires.
We gaze upon tho stately oak,
with wonder and with pride;
But It's the little flower we love,
That blossoms at our side.
The lilies aud the violets,
That act a modest part;
lis these we pluck with tenderness,
And fold them to the heart.
And thus the little things of life,
The deeds Of love we do,
Will scatter blessings day by day,
as on through life we 20.
A gentle word, kindly glance.
A sympathetic tear,
Will fill the soul with happiness.
And render life most dear.

Song of Autumn.

song Oh autumn
The sunbeams fall in golden shower,
Over the yellowing grain;
The fruit, over-ripe, drops hour by hour,
And the asters are here again
A pensive hush broods like charm
Over meadow and sea;
A pause in natures choral psalm,
An unuttcred melody.
But where are the fields Of emerald green.
With clover and white-weed set,
With the scarlet lily's dazzling sheen,
And reaches of violeti
The thistles have given up the ghost,
And the naples have turned to gold,
And the summers eloquent story, at most,
Is but tale that is told.
Tho rose to the wind has given her breath,
The bird has bequeathed his lay;
And have given my heart till death,
And after the Judgment-day!
Then what care though the fields be brown
And the violets eyes bo hid?--
Summer for me has wosen n crown
To wear and be comforted?

NORTHWESTERN WoLvEs.-MIost fer.
ocious is the Northwestern wolf, an ami.
NAL of wonderful strength and sagacitv
found in Northern Oregon and the Brit.
ish possessions. As general rule the
bear and buffalo will not attack man;
but in spring the wolf flies at every liv.
ing thing he sees. Horses are his usual
prey, and them he pursues with almost
human cunning.
When a band of wolves discover
horse, they encamp at some little dis.
tance, all the troop squatting on their
hams excepted two old fellows, who sally
forth toward the horse. He is irightcnd
at first by his visitors; but they gamble
so pleasantly in the field, and look so 10.
nocent and friendly, that by degrees his
terror subsidies, and he continues to gra-
ze. Then the wolves slowly separate, one
going to the front of the horse, the other
to his rear, and Doth frisking about as
amiably, and apparently as unconcerned
as before. Slowly and cautiously they
approached the doomed steed with equsl
steps; when they are within springiug
distance-they can cover over twenty
feet at bound-both dash at him together
one at his head the other at his hamstriugs
Horses are proverbially helpless under
some circumstances; this is one of them.
The most the poor creature does is to
turn round and round uttering cries of
pain. tn few seconds the wolf who
attacked him from behind-ths being
the main attack-has cut the sinews of
his legs, and he falls helplessly to the
ground. Then the whole pack come rush
ing down, bowling, and each eager to
tear morsel from the living carcass.
There is little left for the vultures.

Jewish feast of "Succoth, "or Tabernacles

very honorably celebrated by the Hebrews.

two days Of this feast, are considered as
holy days, on which no servile work
should be performed, but the intermediate
days, "Chol Hamoide," as they are des-
ignated, are of no special import. The
festival is a sort of a harvest feast. and
the prayers and services used on the oc-
casion consist chiefly of praise and graft

tiful and plcuteous crops which He has
vouchsaied to bless the lan1. One pecul

their wanderings through the wilderness.
