DEATH or SUMMER



Another summer, with is smiles and flowers,
Hath passed away into the sra Of years
Who're lies engnlfed The IoYeliest forms
That nature e or put on since God
Spake into being this fair earth,
To mirros forth His glory.
How rapidly
The 0dofous months have fled
And now all that remains to tell
OF summers sweet.breathed flowers
Are dry and wtiher' leaves, that sigh
In moarnfnl cadence on the autumn breeze.
The sweet-yoiced birds
That sang at early morn in tree and copse,
Aud of at set Of sun, until the stars
Iwinkled their pleasure in the crown
Of meek brow eve, have gone
1sro southern chimes; where warmer suns
And milder airs bold sway.
A namsiess Sadness steals
Over myspirit as the crickets sing
In the dead heart Of summer blooms
Ere long the foliage Of the billowy trees
Win don autumn hues, and soon
Their leafy glory viii be laid
In tinted robes on the dead summer tomb.
Methinks hear
summer last sigh, low breathing still
Amidst the faded bowers that she loved,
As 10th TO leave her roseate throne
To autumn chilling blasts,
While midst her wither'd blooms | stand
And lay this little tribute on her grave.
There is a cline
Where everlasting summer rsignsl
No frosts there nip the kqfs, nor roses pale

WHAT BECOMES OF THE Sons OF Suc-
CEssFuL MEN?-Next to the inquiry,
What becomes Of the pins an interesting
question would be, What becomes Of the
CONS Of successful men? A few men and
a few firms are in the hands of the found
ers; but these are exceptions. The old
name and the trade generally pass into the
hands of Others. The reason is clear.
The fathers laid the basis Of business one
way and the sons build another. Men
who earned their fortunes by hard work,
by diligence that knew sixteen hours toll
by personal attention; that were their own
book-keepers, salesmen, cashiers and often
pcrters, arc followed by SONS who do as lit
tie us possible; who delegate to others all
the work they can, and who know more Of
the road than Of the ledger. Famous no.
tel men we're gentlemen, men of intelli
gence, men who were the equals of the
best in the land, and who never sunk the
gentleman in their trade. Young men
who fling the example Of their sires to the
winds, find it easier to squander valuable
name, run through a fortune quicker than
It was earned, and find themselves, while
young, at the point from which their faith
ers started. One thing is quite marked
in New York. Il Is the fact that the
heavy business is getting into the hands of
foreigners The heavy importers, the
great bankers, and much Of the trade Of
value IS slipping out Of the hands Of Amer

emily, we find them described bv Chardin
and other modern travellers. The bano-
ing gardens Of Babylon were simply very
costly variety Of the paradise. such as
only princely wealth eould afford. Their
origin is attributed to Semiramis by some;
others say that they were invented by 4
king Of Syria to charm the melancholy of
one Of his wives, of Persian origin. who
sighed to behold again the verdant noun
tains Of her native land. Strabo and Di-
odorus Siculus have written about these
famous hanging gardens; PhiIo of Byzan-
tium--if, indeed, he is the author of the
treatise on the seven wonders Of the world
attributed by some to him-and MANY
others.
They were called hanging gardens,
doubtless, because Of the huge branching
palms and other trees oyerhaneine the
balustrade on the summit of the high walls
that enclosed the paradise. These walls
were about one hundred and thirty Yards
long on each of the four sides. TWENTY-FIVE
feet thick and fifty cubits high. or over
ninety-one feet according to the Hebrew
cubit; by the Roman or by the ENGLISH
cubit little loss. Around the interior on
all sides rose terrace above terrace to the

trade. The terraces were upheld by i'm
