THE MONTH OF WEEDS.

To return a little, September may be
described as the month of tall weeds
Where they have been suffered to stand,
along fences, by roadsdes and in forgotten
corners-red root, pig weed, rag weed, ver-
vain, golden rod, burdock, elecampane,
thistles, teasels, nettles, asters, etc, how
they lift themselves up as if not afraid to
be seen now! They are all outlaws, every
mans hand is against them, yet how surely
they hold their own. They love the road
side because here they are comparatively
safe; and ragged and dusty. like the com
mon tramps that they are, they form one
of the characteristic features of early Fall
have often noticed in what haste certain
weeds are at times to produce their seeds.
Red root will grow three or four feet high
when it has the whole season before it; but
let it get a late start, let it come up in
August, and it scarcely gets above the
ground before it heads out and apparently
goes to work with all its might and main,
to mature its seed. In the growth of most
plants or weeds, April and May represent
its root, June and July its stalk, and August
and September it's flower and seed. Hence
when the stalk months are stricken out, as
in the present case, there is only time for a
shallow root and foreshortened head.
think most weeds that get late start show
this curtailment of stalk and this soicitude
to reproduce themselves. But l have not
observed that any of the cereals are so
worldly wise. They have not had to think
and shift for themselves as the weeds have.
1t does, indeed, look like a kind of fore
thought in the red root. 1t is killed by
the first frost, and hence knows the danger
of delay.-ScriDner for OctoIer.

GLEANINGS.

Every man should be the father of his
own character.
Men can say many fine things, if they
have mind to.
"A new Partisan hotel will have man.

Weddings and funerals are still FASH

their vests-harvests, you know.
1t costs $105, 900 year to sweeten the
coffee of the Indians at the agencies.
Having plenty of bread, man should
not be particular as to which side it is
buttered on.
An Irish judge said, when addressing
prisoner, d" You are to be hanged, and
l hope it will prove warning to you."
George Eliot has indeed reaped her

An Irishman on board a vessel when she
was on the point of laundering, being de.
sired to come on deck, as she was going

"A lady in describing to an irreverent
boy an occurrence in which his father
| figured, closed by remarking: 81 am
sorry to say that the thing ended by your
father losing his temper" "Did father
lose his temper9" exclaimed the young
scapegrace; then hope he'll never find
it again, for it was the worst temper 1
ever heard off,
Not long since a colored woman OBJ
tanned a position in southern family as
cook. A few days afterward she met an
acquaintance who inquired how she liked
her new place. "Ise gwine to leab 'em,"
was the answer. "Dey buses you, does
