MUMMY HpND@Ns
There is, perhaps, no season SO
thoroughly enjoyed and yet so much
abused as autumn. We call it
melancholy and somber, and all the
while,
Along the roadside, like The flowers Of
gold
The tawny Inc4s for their garments
wrought,
Heavy with sunshine, droops the golden
rod
a cheap but real splendor, laced and
coiled about, as we sometimes find
! it, with the orange stems, and
wYeathed with the white air-woyen
blossoms, Of the dodder. The
little purple asters, with their yell
low centers, muster to the defense
in every field and hollow; the sumaes
put on their bravest yelvets, and
even the hgckleberry bushes do not
forget to lend warm tint to the
picture. Somber. With every
blackberry vine a scarlet ribbon
among the dead grasses, and the
cardinal-howers lighting up the
waste places with their tattered
cloaks; with the golden branches
Of the beeches, the gorgeous ori-
famine Of the maple, the red ban
ners of the oak, when there is a
burning bush on every hand, and
wherever the eye lights tits detained
by the tinting of sunset clouds
when the purple grapes fringe the
vines, and the rosy apples hang
upon the bough, and the amethyst
of the fall crocus, with all the gay
sisterhoodof Of dahlias and geraniums,
paints the humblest garden. Mel
ancholy! with the coral pendants OF
the barbeny bushes tangled by the
way, and the legacies Of the wild
rose shining like Jewels among their
tborns; when the gracious promises
Of seed-time and harvest have been
generously redeemed, when itseems
as if autumn
Had borrowed every seasons charm
To end its days in RladnessT
Does it not appear as if the year
had all along been working to
achieve this grand finale, this en-
broidery of the woods and hills; as
if October had entrapped the rain
bow to shine among her boughs and
vines? AS at the marriage feast of
| Cana the best wine was served last,
so the year has reserved Its greatest
miracles for this late period, and
outof its treasure-house has brought
"mysteries Of color" rifing the
chromatic scale of its richest har-
monies. The witch hazel has with
held its golden tassels in order to
decorate this festival jealous that
| it should outshine all other holidays,
and even Orion waits for the har-
yest-moon to pilot him across the
heavens. And what q rest and in
yigoration after the heats of summer
is the cool, bracing air of this sea-
son! The frosty atmosphere is rs
delicious to the senses, in its way,
as the atmosphere Of June with the
spice of roses; and there is a cheer
fulness in the crickets chirp, as if
he were making the very best of
everything, which has wholesome
effect upon the listener, If we arc
melancholy at this time, it is surely
not the fault Of nature, who writes
even her cquinoxtial storms in the
allegro.

There is a Swedenborgian who is
preaching on this theme. lie says
thero is mo truth in the bible or

pose, includes the Swedanborgian

This subject has been taken before,
1t was taken when n person of in
quiring mind came to the Stagirite
and declared his opinion that there
was no such thing as truth, In
answer he was told that his own
opinion was either true or false. If
false, it called for no consideration;
but if it was true then there was
something true, and his position
failed. Perhaps the swedenborgiap
allows room enough in his theory
for his sermon, which, if not a book
now, will be, he hopes, Que Of these
days, But if his little grain Of
driyel is a sample Of truth and all
other literature Of error the world

MEMPHIS TENN THURSDAY EVENING OCTOBER g6 1876

been betrothcd two years, when her
cheeks began to grow pale, and very
soon all could see that death was
stamped upon her transparent face,
and immortality gazing already
from her glancing eyes. 1t is said
that love is blind, and here is proof
Of the truth Of this. AS yet Noyalis
had no forebodings. Could he not
see that the hand, curled like a
sleeping blossom, was losing its cor
nelian pinkness, and tina it hung
more listless than befva ? Her
sweet blue eyes,
"o'erhung with white caves of heavy
lids,
AS hangs the snow ledge o er calm Al
pine lakes"
had lost none of their brilliancy.
1t seemed that death with her
beautiful life was feeding these
fires. But it was not long before
she became very much worse,
and then the poor poets eyes were
opened.
"Sweet Sophy," he was heard to
say some days before the end came,
death shall not part us. MOI
where | am thou shall be. Yeal
where thou art | shall cternally
be-"
Soon after this Sophy wa, lying
with folded hands, at rest, amid
the shadows that were everywhere
settling, for it was evening when
she died. Throughout the night
Novalis sat moaning by her side,
but she did not wake to hear the
voice she had loved so well.
MY sorrow is boundless as my
love-" he said; "lor three years she
was my hourly thought; it was she
only who bound me to my life, to
all. With her absent, | am sopa-
rated from all, for | possess myself
no longer"
At last the bright morning came
again. 0utof doors, in the blessed
air, the sun was warm, and all the
flowers were in bloom. The sweet
est tunes ever heard were sung by
the birds round the windows Of the
little silent room; but Novalis heard
them not; he was thinking only of
Sophy. Later in the day some one
brought many lovely flowers, and
placed the little table, Sophy'S
table, by his side; then he reused
himself, and from these he selected
the most beautiful, and wound
them into wreaths and garlands to
deck his dead; and then another
night passed by, and another morn
ing came, and Sophy was taken
away. For three days and three
nights the mourner shut himselfup
from his friends, weeping away the
. hours.
Everything / do" he said, "is
for her sake. DO you imagine that
God would be angry with me if l
told him, Father, l shall not mur.
muir more. l will do all things
readily. l will love thee from my
inmost soul. Wilt thou not give
me back my Sophy? She must be
r one of thy pet daughters, and to
thee, then, it must be right that
should live in her, and long for heI
eternally."
{ When the summer had passed
and autumn, with its withered leaves
had come, his visits to Sophy's grave
were just as frequent as his out
bursts of sorrow were bitter on
the night she died.
"0hw he said, sin some moments
| feel such an inexpressible loneli
ness, such a fearful misery. With
out her there is nothing for me in
the world"
He was not kept here from his
Sophy very long. Soon he heard
his summons, and he was with her
once more-in the better land
"Ror ell the sins Of loving hearts
Are washed away by love"
