INDIAN SUMMER.-It is said by some
! this is not Indian Summer-that this
smoke comes from the Indiana prairie and
bush fires-that Indian Summer appears in
November" Referring to an old poem en-
titled November we find the following
the current delightful season:
"Forsaken are the woodland shrines;
The robin and the wren have fed
And winds are wailing through the pines
A dirge for summers glorious dead
Zen man forsakcs his daily strife,
And muses. on the bright things flown,
As if in Natures changing life
He saw the picture of his own
In our ramble through old selections we
find some Indian summer blank verse
which locates that period in October:
title mellow rays of Autumn's sun.
Like liquid amber, are shining among
OctoJcrs gems, lighting woodland hall,
Where the sIly'ry notes ola mountain riIl fall
SO low, so sweet
But leaving the question to solve itself,
here is another selection entitled Indian
summer by an unknown author so sim
pie so accurate and so beautiful that we
put ii down as the prcttiest fancy of Indian
Summer we have ever seen:
There is a time just Ger the frost
Prepares to pave old Winters way,
When Autumn in revCric lost,
The mellow daytime dreams away;
w hen Summer comes i'm mIlSiuw mind
TO gaze oEcc more on hill and dell,
To mark how many sheavcs they bind,
And see if all is ripcncd well.
With balmv breath she whispers low,
The dying flowers look up and give
Their sweetest incense ere they 20,
For her VINO made their beauties live.
She enters meath the woodland shade,
Her zephlrS lift the lingering leaf
And bear it gently where are laid
The loved and lost ones OF its grief.
At last old Autumn, rising, takes
Again his sccp;rc and his throne;
With boisterou- hands the trees he shakes,
Intent on gathering all his own.
Sweet Summer, signing, flies the plain.
And waiting Winter, gaunt and grim,
Secs miscr Autumn hoard his grain,
And smiles to think its all for him
