A LAST TALK.

Come out In the garden and walk with me,
Mnlle The dancers Whirl 10 that dreamy tune.
See! the moonlight silvers the sleeping sea;
And the world Is as fair Rs night In June.
Let me hold you hand as used to do;
This Is the last, last time you know,
For tomorrow a wooer comes 10 WOO
And 10 win you, though love you 30.
You are pale-or is 1t the moonllghf's gleam
That gives 10 your face that Sorrowful look 2
We must wake at last from our summer dream:
We have come to the end OF our tender book.
Love, the poet, has written well;
He has won our hearts by his poem sweet;
And now, al the end, we must say farewell
All, but the summer was fair and feet.
Do you remember the night we metz
You wore a rose In your yellow hair
Closing my eyes can see you yet,
Just as you stood on the topmOst stair,
nutter Of white from head 70 feet,
cluster Of buds on your breast. All, mel
But the vision was never halT so sweet
AS II Is tonight in my memory.
love You, love, with love so true
Inat IN coming years shall not forget
The beautiful face and the dream knew,
And memory will always hold regret.
shall stand by the seas, as We stand tonight
And think OF the summer whose blossoms
died,
When The frosts Of Fate fell chi4 and white,
On the fairest flower Of the summer-tide.
They are calling you. Must let you go?
Must say goodbye and 20 my way?
II We must part, IL is better So
Good-bye's such q sorrowfnl word 70 say:
Give me, my darling, one last, sweet kiss
SolFe kiss our dear ones and see them die;
nut % ueatn holus no parting so sad as this
Good bless you and keep you-and so-good-
bye.

TIE DREAM OF YOUTH.


Tbro1eh troubled years toward ciouoiesS
~ iiS' iIss' ,as vouue and null OF rosy light;
From FAR away there falntIy az Iails ,. ~ ..'O
,,Sr-siI.--e beIls-fhe ring OF a rude rhyme
Thai biepds with singing birds and rustling
And cbeeTful thoughts, whose memory is sub
r,.,Ii-I, IN vaeue confusion that bereaves
Yet more the Wearied heArt that sun 100
fondly grieves.
Reside a gray old farmhouse, on a slope
or Western land, beneath a nodding tree,
A child reclining, full OF Joy and hope,
Watches the shadows dancing merrily-
The leafy shadows, tired OF play is he;
And with his volume, sheltered from the sun,
"a romance sweet, orlove and fights al seal
His dream OF life is curiously begun,
With thoughts OF mighty deeds that never
shall be done.
Just into sight, among the cherry trees,
Up the long, lonely lane the @toam" is COM
ing;
While in the orchard near, some hives OF bees
At honey-making quietly are humming
And halfway up an old dead oak Is drumming
A"yellow hammer and the evening breeze,
That softly from the hay hills is coming
In low, faint sobE, learned OF the tropic seas,
sun gently stirs the book upon the urchin's
knees.
The sun Is sinking now behind the world,
And twilight saddens slowly In the West;
The God OF Day, with glittering banners furied
is sullenly retreating 10 HIS rest.
What OF the boy? Is happiness his guest
Unearthly lustre lights his eager eyes,
Bent on the parting splendors OF the West;
Oh, heart OF youth and summer sunset skies
Your dream is more than all that wealth OF
glory buys.

The weight Of the general trade Of thC
country can in no other way be 80 cor
recIly computed as by deduction from tht
Wholesale traffic, The summer Is now or
tho wane and tho demand Of country
merchants for their first installment Of fall
packages has commenced. Advices from
New York, state that merchants from ev.
cry locality are now flocking TO that city
and are buying more Cheeriully, with
more confidence In the future, than at
any time since the diSheartening crash
Of one year ago. They have bought no
more since that unhappy period than was
demanded Tor their actual necessities,
Their stock was replenished by more fire.
quent but smaller purchases; consequent.
ly that on hand is light and the exigen-
Giles oil the autumn trade will demand
larger purchases than would otherwise
have been the case. Yet the probability
is that country merchants, in every branch
Of traffic, will be more careful than they
have ever been since the beginning Of the
high pressure system Of buying and sell.
ing inaugurated during the war.
Not many have passed through the fire
of the last three months without feeling
slightly singed. A sharp lesson in pru.
Dental business principles has been
taught the entire brotherhood Of mer-
chants, and one they will not soon forget,
The country trade will perhaps be as lib.
ersl in It's expenditures as ever, but there
will be q more judiciouS distribution Of
the money. Less will DO expended in
speculative way, and more for that in &C.
tual, constant demand.
These arc the features which will char.
acteri2e the fall trade. Just that which
Is necessary for the support Of liberal
business will be purchased, and no more,
As the crops ore excellent, the rural COM
munity will purchase moro literally than
Of lste, but still combining itself to necessi.
ties rather than luxuries. In the Middle
and Eastern States the consumption will
be less, compared with the number OF In.
habitants, than in the West, because Of
the larger proportion Of unemployed per.
sons in the mining and manufacturing
districts. In the Great West, where the
effects Of the panic have been felt least,
the Fall mercantile trade will be as exten.
sive, perhaps, as in any former year. In
all parts Of the country the dry goods
trade Is especially looking up, and this Is
q strong Indication Of a general renewal
Of vitality in oil channels Of trade Mon
ey is easier and collections are made more
readily than at any time since the crash.
Altogether, unless those who should speak
with authority in business affairs deceive
US, when the fall trade opens in earnest It
will be with a vim which will set pros.
trate business upright on it's feet.
