AUTUMN'S MONOlOCUE,
BY MRS. GEO. r. LEE.

The wounded summer Fingers long.
Singing, swan. like. her dying song;
So very, very faint and low,
Her birds and insects greet us now.
The fioweIs-her jewels-growing dim,
No more with spicy odors brim;
But shriveling from day to day,
Peep out from leaves of bronze or gray,
Or, red or amber, coloring still,
BY wayward Autumn's naughty will.
cherish nothing green-for zee
Gay colors are my livery,
The royal purple of the grape
Is rivalled by the golden shape
Y'clept q apumpkin; that, in turn,
BY hues which in the forests burn.
My fiery sumachs, in a row,
Blaze brilliantly, while naples glow
As though from many sunset skies,
I'd caught the gold and crimson dyes,
And scattered them on every hand
To make mimic fairy land.
l pity summers dying hours
Poor queen bereft of birds and flowers.
But L must very busy be-
Brief is the time allotted me.
Fruits / must ripen, lest mankind
10 all my other virtues blind
Withhold the plaudits that crave
And bid me share wan Summers grave.
too, must fail when fields are sere,
And dreamers note the ''closing year"
For hoary Winter, is not he
The tyrant skilled TO conquer me?
An yes s! but ere pass s..away,
To mortal youth / fain would say:
Improve like me, each passing hour;
Age is thy winter-dread his power
To fetter thee when youth is gone
And weak decrepitude comes on.
Improve the time, and be like me
Preparedt 10 yield thee gracefully;
For when my mission work is done,
l beckon waiting Winter On;
Feeling that NOT in vain | came
To robe the trees with mystic flame.
II but one youth is saved from grief,
Heeding my text-the falling leaf.
My sermon may not pithy be,
But 1t inculcates industry.
obey /: and oL thy manhood's prime
CHEEKY as fruitful AuIumn's time.

A jehu in drab overcoat approach

speedily jumped in But when the

WHY WILL YE DIE, On YE OF LIT

article is from the Davenport Democrat of
December 10, 1872, and is a powerful re
minder to the afflicted:
The most insidious, deadly and distress
ing malady attacking the human frame, is

her skin, and feeding like living worm Of
death upon her vitals. 4 lover may

night breathing, it is but muffied drum
beating her death knen A father may

his efforts are in vain her bridal bed is the
burial case 8; her bridegroom, death, the
silent consumer of her lungs is at work,
and physicians have no remedy. the p ar
macop9ia no drug which can keep her from
her destiny Sad as this view is, there is,
happily, a bright side Providence has
garnered up in the storehouses of vegeta-

plants to arrest the fell destroyer, to heal
the eating ulcer, to renovate the failing
lung, to bring health, strength and vig0r
to the wasted frame. The keen eye OF
science has searched for it, the chemist 5
skill has seized upon it, the retort and
alembic have extracted it, and the remedy
is produced which will stay the progress oi
