THOUGHTS on AUTUMN.

Bright flowers are sinking,
Streamlets are shrinking,
Now the wide forest is withered and sere;
Light clouds are flying.
Soft winds are signing:
We will be thoughtful, for autumn IS near.
Blossoms we cherished
Have withered and persisted,
Scenes which We smiled on are yellow and
drear
Feelings Of sadness
O'ershadow our gladness,
And make the mind thoughtful, for autumn
is near.
Thus all that is fairest,
And sweetest and rarest,
Must shortly be severed, and call for tear;
Then let each motion
Be warm with devotion,
And we will be thoughtful, for autumn Is
here Anon.

made for Columbia. but it is stated that
the church will probably be supplied by
Rev. A. Arnett, man Of good education
and ability Rev. r. II. Gain, who has
been stationed here for the past two
years, was appointed general education
and missionary agent The reports of
the members of the convention show that
The A. NJ. E. Church has in the State
about $4,000 members, an increase of
about 8, 600 over the number reported at
the last conference. The total amount
Of money raised in the churches for pas
tors salaries was $40, ,06-an average of
Sl32 each for the ISL appointments.
81, 200 was raised in the conference, We
understood, for the Bishop.
Special interest was manifested in the
q. NJ. E. Theological Seminary, which is
to be located ut Cokesbury. 142 acres
OF land was purchased some time ago,
on which nre good, substantial buildings,
which admirably answer the purpose OF
the seminary. This school for the edu-
cation of the ministry of the church is to
be specially fostered. as the church
deepl, feels the need of al educated mi
nistry.
Rev. r. Fl. Cain, who gives us the
above facts, reports that the conference
was the most interesting one ever held

The following anecdote of Lord Lytton
is told in the London correspondence of
tie New York Tribune: He was deaf,
and at times very deaf; his malsdy vary
ing IN intensity. It was his foible to
wish to conceal it. especially when the
partial return of the sense gave him q
chance. An old friend, driving with
him one day, raised his voice to high
pitch. "Why do you shout at me so?"
exclaimed Lord Lytton, "Oh, my lord, I"
was the answer, Il thought you seemed
rather more deaf than usual" "Deaf!"
screamed his lordship. 'Tm not deaf,
d-n you; | hate deaf people," And for
the rest of the drive there was great
silence.
