1t is proposed to call Congress OF
American women some time during
the present year. The following very
important subjects will occupy its
attention Higher education fo1
women; women's work in literature;
the relation of women to dress ;
woman the promoter of peace pris-
on reform; woman's work; the in
violate homestead; equal division OF
the salary between husband and
wife; woman's influence in promot-
ing temperance; cooperative indus
tries among women; law as it affects
women; enlightened motherhood ;
woman in surgery and medicine
There has been a good deal of
talk by leading women as to
politics, but no such Congress as
this, and the subjects mentioned are
certainly of the gravest Importance.

Those who dehgnt in teasand fancy

healthfuI beverage, viii not be pleased
to learn that Of twenty samples lately
anal l5zed in -Lohdon9 nineteen were
found tobe addlterated. They were
Xfaeei with plumbag6, and contained
what the Chinese may properly cali
ne, 5ea-that is, the leaves of other
plants worked up so as TO. resemble
tea, The iron filings discovered
varied from 0.O6 to $50 per cent. of
the tea the sand from 2.09 to 1888,
and the ash of the lie tea from l3. 05
to not less than 1922 per cent, in
place of about 5 per cent. present in
genuine tea. The extraetive matter
OF 6, nuine green tea is about 40 per
cent; that of the adulterated teas
ranges from 1859 to 37O4. The
theme, one of the principal con-
stituents of tea, present in green tea,
in the proportion of about 8 per cent,
Was in nearly all cases deficient, and
in one instance as low as 0,02 per
cent. Such compounds as these may
be suited to the stomachs of ostriches,
but they are scarcely compatible
with the good health of the consum-
ers.

Select Miscellany.
HYMN FOR AUTUMN.
BY ALICE CARY.

BY ALICE CARY
Shorter and shorter now the twilight clips
The days, as through the sunset gates they crowC
And summer from her golden collar slips,
And strays through stubble fields, and moan
| aloud.
Save when by fits the summer air deceives,
And, stealing hopeful to some sheltered bower,
She lies in pillows of the yellow leaves,
And tries the old fumes over for an hour.
The wind, whose tender whisper in the May
Set all the young blooms listening through tn.
grove,
Sits rustling in the faded boughs to-day,
And makes his cold and unsuccessful love.
The rose has taken off her tire of red ~
The mullen stalk its yellow stars has lost,
And the proud meadow pink hangs down her head,
Against earth's chilly bosom, nipped with frost.
The robin that was busy all the June,
Before the sun had kissed the topmost bough,
Catching our hearts up in his golden tune,
= fIas sE,ven Place A. >-tssss brown cricketnow.
The very cock crows lonesonieIy ar noon;
Each flag and fern and shrinking stream divides;
Uneasy cattle low, and lambs forlom
Creep to their strawy sheds with nettled hides.
Shut up the door! who loves me must not look
Upon fine withered world, but haste to bring
His lighted candle and his story-boOk,
And live with me the poetry of Spring!

its condition to the Government, have finished
their work and submitted the result. They
certify that the road is first class 10 every re-

the issuing of the patents for about twelve
