INDIAN MINER.

just after the death OF the flowers.
And before they ara burie in snow,
There comes festival season,
When nature is all agIow-
Aglow with mystical splendor
That rivals the brightness Of Spring
Aglow with beauty more tender
Than au sht which tair Sun Ter could bring
Some spirit akin to the rainbow
Then borrows its magical dyes,
And mantles the far-spreading landscape
In hues that bewilder the eyes.
The sun from his cloud pillowed chamber
Smiles oft on vision so gay,
And dreams that his favorte children,
The flowers, have not yet passed away.
There's luminous mist on the mountains,
A light, azure haze in the air,
As it angels, while heIvenward soaring,
Had left their bright robes floating there;
The breeze is so soft, so caressing,
1t seems mute token of love,
And floats to the heart like a blessing
From some happy spirit above.
These days so serene and so charming,
Awake dreamy delight
A tremulous, dreamy enjoyment,
Like soft strains Of music at night;
We know they are fading and feeting,
That quickly, too quickly, they'll end,
And We watch them with yearning affection,
As at parting we watch dear friend.
Oh. beautiful Indian Summer
Thou tavorite child OF the year,
Thou darling whom Nature enriches
With gifts and adornmentS so dear
How fain would we WOO thee to linger
On mountain and meadow awhile,
For our hearts, like the sweet hauntS of
Nature,
Rejoice and grow young in thy smile.
Not alone to the sad fields Of Autumn,
Dost thou lost brightness restore.
But thou bringeSt world-wea y spirit
Sweet dreams to its spirit once more;
Thy lovelinesS fills us with memories
OF all that was brightest and best
Thy peace and serenity offer
a foretaste Of heavenly rest.

An Apt Pupil.

ent of the Cleveland Herald tells
how poor young man of that
city came to own lots on Staten
Island.
Two years ago a hotel keeper
well Known throughout this
country opened an elegant hotel
at one of the most frequented
summer resorts. He wanted a
clerk. Application for the po-
sition was made by a young
man, a fine-looking fellow,
who confessed to being poor.
If you would share my rainy
day reflections you must not
lose sight of the fact that he
was dreadful poor.
Mr.. Ibid not think less
of him because of his poverty,
thought afterward he had occa-
sion to think of it as an existing
fact at the time he was en-
rloyed; for he did employ him,
and proceeded to instruct him
in regard to his duties. The
burden of instructions related
to the bills and was rather sim
gular. He told the poor young
man that when he made out a
bill for party he should mako
it appropriately-which meant
in harmony with their style and
appearance, number of trunks.
amount of luggage generally,
diamonds and so on, and above
all it should have no connec-
tion with what they have got
in the way of extras or anything.
He informed the poor young
man that people generally who
stopped at his house did not no.
tice a bill of 'sitems." "Did he
comprehend" He thought he
did-and time proved that he
did.
The hotel fourished meanwhile.
The elite patronized it-people,
You know, with a loyal con-
tempt for stems"
Near the close of this last
season a gentleman from New
York stepped into the Office of
the c. Hotel, aud asked the
proprietors for the clerk, this
poor young man. Mr.. T.
told him he was out, would te
in presently. Would he wail2

see him of course, but l assure
you you have made a mistake"
At this moment B. came
in, walked up to the stranger at
once and shook hands.
Mr.. L. spoke up, "Here,
B, this gentleman called to :
see you, he says, about some
you own on Staten Is
land. You haven't any prop
erty there, have yo"?'
''Yes, sir" replied the poor
young man, modest, though un-
embarrassed.
"How does that happen?"
questioned Mr.. L.; "didn't you
come here owning nothing
very poor?"
The young man straightened
