Royston, when Sidney asked him for his

And so the days rolled rapidly along
toward the one appointed for the wedding.
And on that very morning letter came
from the absent uncle. II was as follows:
DEAR SIDNEY The speculations that
we thought had ruined you have turned
out utsplendid. Ihaye in my possession over
one hundred and seyenty-five thousand
dollars, all yours Come and take posses

Then followed his uncle's address and
signature.
Not until after they were married did
he show tho letter TO his bride. She
rejoiced at his good fortune--for his sake
and said :-"You were poor, Sidney,

you for yourself alone"
His rich friends would have come back
to him, but they found no welcome. He
had tried them, and they were found

NOVEMBER.

ny RUHE BLUFF.
II is November-the earth is brown and bare,
The faded leaves are scattered everywhere.
Summer has fed, and Of that summers glory
Not one sweet flower remains to tell the story.
The rowing breezes stole the rich perfume,
And autumn gathered all the beauteons bloom.
Naught but the memory Of your bloom is ours
Totreasurs in November, sweet, sweet Aowers
The song of birds that wakened me at morn
Is ended now, the winter blast and storm
With saddened music mingle with my dreams,
Telling Of leafess trees and frozen streams.
Bewailing, IT may be, that It's its duty
To rob the trees Of their wealth and beauty.
Sad wind, dead leaves, fancy it would fain,
If it we're possible, replace them all again.
Nature is desolate life, too, is dreary,
And looking up-it is our way when weary
We may forget, in sunshine, how to pray,
In sorrow neyer-dall and dim and gray,
As if to shut out Heaven hangs the sky,
A hopeless vision to the hopeful eyei
Oh, hasten on dreary November days
Give place, give place, for you have no praise.

An anecdote is told Of Velpeau, the
eminent French surgeon. He had sue
cessfully performed, on little child Eve
years old, a most perilous operation. The
mother came to him and said aI
Monsieur, my son issaved, and really
know not how TO express my gratitude;

this pocket-boek, embroidered by my own
hands. s
.'Oh, Madame" replied Velpcau, sharp
ly, amy art is not merely question Of

yours; dress, even, which is luxury to
you, is necessary for me. Allow me,
therefore, to refuse your charming little
present in exchange for a moro substantial
remuneration.
"But, Monster, what remuneration do
you desire2 Fix the fee yourself"
"Five thousand francs, madame"
The lady quietly opened the pocket
book, which contained ten thousand francs
in notes, counted out Eve, and after po-
litely handing them over to Velpeau, re-

AUTUMN.


The summer has gone and the autumn Is here,
And the flowers are strewing their earthly bier;
4 dreamy mist DER the woodland swima.
WhIle rattle the nuts from the windy limbs.
From bough TO bough the squirrels run
Al the noise OF the hunters echoing gun.
And the partridge flies where my fOotstcp hcayes
The ruStlIng drifts OF whitening leaves.
The focks pursue their southern flight,
Some all the day and some all the night;
And up from the wooden marshes come
The sound OF the pheasants feathery drum.
ON the highest bow the moyTner crow
sits in his funeral suit woe;
All nature mourns, and my spirit grieyes
At the noise ofmy feet in the withering leaves,
| sigh for the days that have passed away
when my life like the years, had It's season of May
When the world was all sunshine and beauty and
truth,
And the dews bathed my feet IN the valley Of youth
Then my heart felt It's wings, and no bird Of the sky
Sang over the flowers more joyous than /.
But youth is fable and beauty decciyes,
For my footsteps are loud IN the witherlng leaves.
And sigh for the time when the reapeFs at morn
Came down from the hill at the sound OF she horn;
Or when dragging the rake followed them out
while they tossed the light sheayes with their laugh
ter about;
Through the field with boy daring, barefooted ran;
But the stubbles oreshadowed the path OF the man.
Now the upiands ofliie lie all barren Of sheaves
While my footsteps are loud in the withcring leaves.

Some Ancient Riddles.


Another literary triae upon which vast
amount Of time and ingenuity has been ex-
pended, is the riddle. Riddle making has
been popular in all ages and countries, and
not only the small wits, but the big wits,
Of Greece, Rome, France, Germany and
England, have amused themselves with il.
Schiller, the German poet, was an adept
in this art, and some of his riddles are
maryels of ingenuity. Here is one by
Fox, the great English orator;
Formed long ago, yet made to-day, Is.
And most employed when others sleep;
What few would wish to give away,
And none would wish to keep.
The answer is--a bed.
DR.. Whewell, the late Master Of Trinity
College, is credited with the following,
which was often on his lips. 1t would

QUARRELISG.-If anything in the
world will make man feel badly, except
pinching his fingers in the crack of door,
it is unquestionably quarrel. No man
ever fails to think less of himself after il
than before. 1t degrades him in the eyes
of others, and what is worse, blunts his
sensibilities on the one hand, aud increases
the power of iritability on the other,
The truth is, the more quietly and peace
fully We get on the better for our neigh
bors. In nine cases out Of ten the better
course is, if a man cheats you cease to deal
with him if he is abusive, quit his COM
pany, and if he ISLANDERS you, take care to
live SO no one will believe him. No
matter who he is, or how he misuses you,
the wiscst way is to let him alone, for there
is nothing better than this cool, calm, and
quiet way of dealing with the wrongs we
meet.

ANEsTHETIos.-The fatal effects which
sometimes follow the use Of chloroform as
an anesthetic, have led TO much discussion
among medical men, and there seems a
growing tendency, in some quarters at
least, to disregard it. Prof. Jernegpn
read paper recently before q medical
society in Boston, in which he made some
obssfsations that may be interesting to
the public in general. He attributed the
fatal effects Of chloroform mainly 10 two
things--imperfect administration and i'm
purity. Deaths from this agent wore
caused by either syncope or paralysis Of
the medulla oblongata. Deaths in the
dentists chair usually resulted from syn
cope; the shock Of pulling a tooth caused
a reaction, which affected the base Of the
brain, when the blood from tho brain and
lungs were poured upon the heart when II
was in a relaxed state. Syncope followed,
from which Il was impossible TO arouse
the patient
