INDIAN SUMNER.


Just after the death of the flowers,
And before they are buried in snow,
There comes festival season
When nature is all aglow-
Aglow with a mystical splendor
That rivals the brightness of spring
Aglow with a beauty more tender
Than aught which fair summer could
bring.
Some spirit akin to the rainbow
Then borrows its magical dyes,
And mantles the far spreading landscape
In hues that bewilder the eyes
The sun from his cloud-pillowed cham
Der
Smiles soft on vison so CAV,
And dreams that his favorite children,
The flowers, have not passed away
There's luminous mist on the mountains
A light azure haze in the air,
As if angels, while heavenly soaring,
Had left their bright robes floating
there.
The breeze is soft so caressing
1t seems a mute token of love,
And floats to the heart like blessing,
From some happy spirit above.
These days, so serene, and so charming
Awaken dream of delight,
A tremulous fearful enjoyment,
Like soft strains of music at night.
We know that they are fading and fleet
ing,
That quickly, too quickly, they'll end;
And we watch them with yearning affec-
ton,
As at parting, we watch dear friend.
Oh! beautiful Indian summer!
Thou favorite child of the year;
Thou darling, whom nature enriches
With gifts and adornments so dear
How fain we would WOO thee to linger
On mountain and meadow awhile,
For cur hearts, like the sweet haunts of
nature,
Rejoice and grow young in thy smile
Not alone to the sad fields of autumn
Dost thou less brightness restore,
But thou bringst world-weary spirit
Sweet dreams of its childhood once
more;
Thy lovelinesS fills us with memories
Of all that was brightest and best
Thy peace and sincerity offer
\ foretaste of heavenly rest.

a clergyman, wno owned farm found
his plowman sitting on his plow resting
the horse Quoth the clergyman: "John,
wouldn't it be a good plan for you to have
a good stub-scythe here and be cutting
few bushes along the fence while the
the horse is resting short time?
Wouldn't it be well, sir, said john 'for
you to have tub of potatoes in the pull
pit, and when they are singing peel EN-
awhile to be ready for the pot?

II ;s true economy for farme

It is true economy for farmers to use
all implements and machinery that save
labor, and lessen the cost of cultivation,
and we would be glad to enlist practical
farmers in the discussion of the advanta-
ges and disadvantages of farm machinery,
as developed by experience. If any one
has become satisfied, after full expert
ence, that grain drills are not economical,
we would be glad to have the reasons.

CHAPTER XIII.


On the following morning, Mr. Russell,
wearing face decidedly the reverse of cheer
ful, mounted horse which he had ordered
from the hotel stables, and set out on visit
to Hollingwood.
Itwas bright, balmy day-quite contrast
to those which had preceded it-and the fresh
soft breeze, laden with pleasant odors, the
blue sky and golden sunshine, and the lively
twitter of the birds, seemed enough to drive
away the clouds of discomfort from any ones
heart and brow Such was not the effect, how
ever, which they produced on the moody horse
man, who had no thought to bestow on the
generous aspect of Nature, and in his best
frame ofmind, cared but little for her charms.
The sordid cares of life were weighing heavily
upon him, and all his thoughts we're concen-
trated upon the vexing question of how to
meet the difficulties which encompassed him
on every side.
"Sydney must do something" he solilo-
quized, as he rode along. "Sick or not sick,
he must make an arrangement of some sort.
A broken head can't incapacitate him forever
from attending to business and I'll not leave
him to-day until l get matters settled to my
satisfaction. If hadn't met with such a
confounded run of i'll luck, last week, it would
not be so bad but as things stand now, l
can afford to wait no longer just as [ was
beginning to see my way out little, too-it's
too bad! But l am too great fool to stop
when ought Well, one comfort is, Sydney
can help me if he chooses and he'd best
choose, if he has an idea what's to his advan-
tage. He knows have him, safe and sure
and if ever the time comes to make him feel
my power, he'll rue it, even though suffer
with himI'
Reflections of this nature did not add to
the agreeable expression of Mr.. Russells
countenance, or to the amiablity of his tenn
per; and he struck his spurs into his horses
sides with sufficient degree of sharpness to
make that unofending quadruped give an
indignant snort and bound, and then set of
at headlong pace down the road.
The impetuosity of his career was checked
by sudden jerk of the bride, as Russell
came in sight of another steed and dis
mounted rider at some distance ahead of him.
An elderly gentleman was fumbling at the
girth Of the animal, which had become loos-
ened, and was apparently unable to rectify
the damage. AS Russell came up, he recog.
nized Grenvlle face, and stopped to profer
his assistance
"Mr. Bradley, l believer" he said, touching
his hat.
"That's my name, sir" said the old gentle
man. Il haven't the pleasure of remember
ing you"
"No, sir, l am stranger here; but you
have been pointed out to me on one or two
occasions by mutual friend. My name is
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1874-06-18
fro BE CONTINUED NEXT WEEK.

TAKING THE BULL BY THE HoRNs.-The
Southern Methodists, in conference assembled
at Louisville, have taken very bold position
on the temperance question, and one which is
much more radical than any northern church
has assumed. By very large vote-325 to
SS, being more than the necessary two-thirds--
minority report that any person making
buying, selling, or using as beverage intoxl'
eating liquors, shall be, upon conviction, de-
barred from membership in the church, was
adopted. This action will be sent round to
the local conferences, and if the majority OF
three-fourths concur it will become law:
The vote was preceded by long and excited
discussion, in which all points that have so be-
wildered our local clergy were canvassed
AS there was no apparent possibility that
scriptural texts could be reconciled or that
the views of delegates would admit of any
compromise, they decided to take the bull by
the horns, and throw the animal out altogeth'
er. The whisky-manufacturer, the whisky
seller, the whisky.buyer, and the whisky
drinker were all classed under the same head
and the ban was pronounced.
