THE ANTNlY TILE.

In the eternal round of season there is moth
ing strange; and yet a very common and pleas
ant custom it is, as one goes out and We stand
upon the threshold of another, to take SUE
vey Of both. When grim old winter sets his
snowy foot and icy grasp upon us, the soft,
balmy airs of spring are anticipated wholly
with delight. Neither drilling rain, nor ON
nipresent slush, find place in the mental pic
ture. But soon these are palpable enough
uncomfoTtably palpable, and might be insup-
portable, but for the expectation of the ap-
preaching delights of voters, whose clear skies
and rich vegetation in turn lead us to forget
the swelteTing temperature and long drOughts
which in due order assert themselves and incline
Disconnected humanity to cast another glance
forward-this time to autumn.
Of all the easoDs autumn promises most,
and disappoints least. Melancholy brings no
touch Of pain. There is death in the waiting
wiEds-a dirge they seem to chant for the
whitening leaves, falling fruit and decaying
flowers, even as the fresher breeZes of spring
are natal anthem. But it is death dealing
with maturity, and, however sad, but fulfill
ing its mission at natural and beneiting
period. The process is suggestive of cslmness
and repose, and every surrounding helps to
produce that effect. If man is influenced at
all, it is into a quieter, more thoughtful mood,
and for once he feels measuTably well dis
posed to linger, content with the present, in-
stead of again taxing anticipation. Golden
roads, fields and forests in purple, yellow and
russell; delicate, many-tinted twilights, and
all softened, subdued and invested with an
additional charm by such haze as that which
belongs to our Indian summer-there is at no
other time so exquisite treat for the eye.

never rode in more cheerful, clean and well-kept

and the floors kept scrupulously bright. Here,
too, was a tidy chambermaid in charge of each Of
the "lades' cars" The absence OF smoke and
dust was in such marked contrast to other Viz
ginia roads had travelled on recently that To-
quired how this was effected. The road-bed,
was informed, was covered several inches deep
with sand and beach gravel, and, instead Of coal,
pine and oak wood was used fuel TO- their loco
motives on the whole line. The agent told me
but less destructive OF machinery rode from,
Petersburg to Norfolk, eighty-One miles, on very

ano he' feature on this road Of AIahOne's in such
singular contrast with what had seen elsewhere
