CoLD ROOMs.-It is an old notion but a foolish
one, that it is better to sleep in cold room than
IN moderately warm one. Giving good venti-
latiOn, and fire in q sleeping room in cold
weather is healthy. There is no gain in the
ehilliness of dressing and undressing in tempera-
ture nesr the frssz,sg point but the shock to the
system is positively injurious. Nor is the venti-
latIon of an open chamber window i'm cold wealth
er 81 good thing some think. Ventilation
from another room through door standing ajar,
is preferable. The exposure from sudden night
changes in temperature makes the open window
Unsafe With even strong people; with feeble it is
dangerous

AN AUTUMN IDYL.
BIZ HORACE 2. cHAxpLER.

o. OCTOBER fair Octobe-i
The month Of all the yeari
November's cold and frosty hand
Snah deck thine Autumn bier.
The harvest Cleaned reminds US all
mat We must pass away;
That those who reach the heavenly home.
Here work and watch and pray
The many colored landscape scenes.
Stretched far and wide around,
Portray unnumbered beauties
That In nature may be found.
On distant hill and forest deep,
The change creeps slowly on,
As stars before the God Of Day
Each vanish one by one.
o, October, fair Octoberi
Death-bed Of the fowersi
With thee Gods hOral poetry ends,
And heaven weops in showers
The foliage changed, the withered leaves
Returning 70 the earth.
The evening chill all bid US seek
The cheerful blazing hearth.
On thy fair bosom, River Charles,
That winds so placid by
Mount Auburn,s still and quiet shades,
Beneath a mellow sky.
In Autumn time love TO float;
And on my cars I rest
As Phebus car sinks slowly down,
Far in the golden West,
o. Octoberi fair October!
Full many pleasant day,
In thy bolmy Indian Summer,
Alone I've strolled away,
To sit beside some crystal stream.
In sylvan haunt remote.
To see the ripping water flow,
And watch the wary trout
o, the sunsets Of OCTOBER
They paint the evening sky
With varied rieh and colored hues,
That mortal skin defy;
All nature smiles in sadness then,
And Night, her shadows deep
Ciose-drawn about the silent world,
Watches mankind asleep.

WE have frequently read notes about close
men, but the following description of odd Skin
fiint," which we clip from a rural New York pa
per, takes the lead: "old Skinflint, with speck-
led hen, was down to 0'Brien's circus last Thurs
day, and hitched his team to a fence in the rear
of his Office. Pulling an old ten pound salt sack
from under the seat, he proceeded to feed the
horses. What in the world the hen was for we
could not imagine until, just before hitching up
to return he tied one end of the string attached
to the hens leg to the hind wheel of the wagon,
and the mystery was solyed-he had brought
along the hen to pick up the last Oat left by the
horses, that nothing might be lostm

Sweet Is the gnsh Of waterfalls,
The melody Of birds,
The marmur of the riyulet.
Or leaves By zepliyrs stirred;
And sweet Is the sound Of lutte and voice,
When borne across the water;
But sweeter stil than these, the voice
OF Squire Jones daughter.
Bright Is the star whose mellow ray
Can reach iron heaven to earth;
And bright the tin pan newly secured,
Placed on the blazing hearth;
Bright Is the sword with blood unstained,
By man IN bloody slaughter;
Bot brighter still the flashing eye
OF Squire Jones Daughter.
Rcd Is the rosy posey's hue,
That grows down iB the koRers;
And red Is Rncle NzthAn's barn,

And red n sister Sally's shawl,

ButTedder still the blooming cheek

Hot is the lava tide that rolls

And hot the tide that bubbles out
From Ieeland's boiling fountain
And hot q boys ears. boxed for doing
That which be shouldn't oughteT;
But hotter still the love feel

SELECTING SEFD POTAToEs-The best time TO
select seed potatoes is when they are dug. As
soon as they are brought to the surface, and lie
spread Oh the ground, the best can be selected
with less difficulty than any other time. Those

and good average size, should be selected for

They should then be placed in boxes or barrels.

this manner for few years in succession. We
have no doubt decided improvement will he
observed in the yield per acre, as well as in the
quality of the crops We think this practice
will also be found an effeetual security against
small potatoes, and good defence against the
ravages of the rot. When potatoes first come
from the ground the skins have clearness which
they soon lose.
