Autumn.

They have comc-thc Autumn days,
When the red suns cbastcned rays,
In the wood,
Glimmcr bright on shade and hue
That the Summer never knew,
And pierce tho thickct through
Where ! stood.
In the Spring, content to greet
All the beauties ut my feet,
And to stay,
Never caring what beside
Natures verdant vail might hide
Far away.
Ali the view Is clearer now;
ID al, the tcndril on tho bough,
Sunk, the vail.
And the ocean is in sight,
Spreading sloom, and flashing light.
Where the sun'will sink ut night
Dim and pale.
IL n come the Autumn time;
Passed the Summer and the prime
OF my days.
Careless I Of Joys or fears,
For the sod was dank with tears;
Witlered fell the hopes OF years
In my gaze.
When the magic Of thy love
Let the sun in from above,
Soft AMI bright,
And | saw with altered mind
That the Autumn, too, was kinl
In Its light.
For. Just as a brighter sheen
Glori1cs the passing green
or the leaf,
And the vistas op'ning clear
Let the wider scenes appear
Free from grief.
SO might 1t be in life,
Whom the glory and the strife
OF its June
Hal she'd sheir flowers and fruits,
From pure or poisoned roots,
Late or soon.
We may find q granlcr view,
With n wider passage through
To our rest.
And that love which blossoms last,
When passions dream Ia past,
Is the best.

Prevention and Cure of Colds.

This is the season Of the year for
catching severe colds, and great care
should be taken in dressing warmly.
The damp chilly mornings and even.
ings are harsher upon good health than
the severe cold Of mid-winter, and
doubly so because of the general care
lessness of the people as to their cover
ing. A great many get along with, as
little bed clothing at this season rs in
summer because it is not time yet to
prepare for winter; but there is great
danger in this because the inactive body
during sleep is in no condition to ward
of cold, and easily becomes the subject
of disease. But the most common way
of taking colds al this season is by sit.
ting in rooms unwarmed. Either the
stoves have been removed for the sum-
mcr and not returned, or no FIRE has
| yet been built in the CRATE because it
seems so early to have fires. Nothing
is more sure to result in colds than this
carelessness. People sit and talk and
laugh; their feet become chilled their
hands are rubbed together for warmth
the handkerchief comes r%oftener into
requisition; the head fills up and in a
few hours results in = terrible
cold. There is no sense nor economy
in saving the little coal or wood neces-
sary 10 warmth in these autumn days.

An Indians Last Shot.

On Monday morning, August 81, says
the Black Hills Pioneer, four white men,
while out hunting about two miles from
Deadwood, killed a deer, and, while
they were skinning it, one of them saw
an Indian approaching them, leading
his pony. He was probably trying to
surprise them, but, being uncertain of
their exact situation, he had approached
too near, and they discovered him first.
One of the party snatched up his shot
gun, loaded with buck shot, and fired
both barrels, bringing down the Indian
and his pony. The confident manner
in which the Indian had walked toward
them had led them to suppose that he
was supported by q number of others,
and so they quickly retreatcd toward
Deadwood for reinfOrcements. A party
started out to scout the country, and,
on reaching the spot where the
deer lay, the men saw the
body of Che Indian by the side
of bis pony, and, thinking him dead,
they rushed forward. This action was
fatal to n of the party, for a shot
from the Indians rifle struck him in
the heart. A volley from the others
killed tho Indian instantly, however,
and his body was quickly surrounded
by the white men. The Indian had
been almost riddled with buckshot, one
shoulder and both legs having been
broken, yet he hadmanaged to bandage
his legs and to take unorring aim with
his wounded arm. Knowing that his
life would be taken without doubt, he
had prepared to sell it as dearly as pos
sible, and. lying on his back, he rested
his rifle on his wounded legs and shot
dead the foremost Of his assailants. In
his mouth was another cartridge ready
to reload. His rifle was the best and
latest breech-loading arm issued to the
army of 1875, and it was probable that
he had obtained it in the Custer or Reno
fight, since al old bullet mark in the
grip Of the stock showed that it had
been in action.

How an Empress Eats.

When the hour for Queen Victoria's
dinner arrives her guests assemble, and
when she enters the roomthey all arise.
She bows and they all sit down. The
foOtman serves the dinner, and all is
silent. Sometimes the Queen speaks,
and whoever is spoken TO acts like a
good child, and speaks in return. Be-
fore the dessert is served the Queen
arises. The guests arise. They all
bow, and the Queen goes out. Think
of it! When the American cranberry
sauce was served no one said it was
good; when the beef is overdone no
one can mention it. There is no wonder
over the early peas and no congratuia.
tons upon the tender new corn. No
one at that English table could breath
lessly watch the first cut into n water
melon; when it cracked no one could
smile, and when it lay open, rcd.ripe,
who could cry out that it WAS "Love.
Typ" To eat at the Queens table would
be worse than having q stranger TO din.

to cat the turkey rs if it were an every.

its unusual tenderness.-NeU Centar1

tematically opposed to sound concep
tion OF the true duty of art, which is TO
elevate the mind and cultivate the higher
qualities of human nature. They are, in
fact, especially directed to humanity
in its meanest and most disagreeable as
poets, and inspire instead of healthy and
generous sympathies with our fellow
creatures, rather feeling of depression
and disgust. The most powerful and &C
of living novelists-herself
woman shows, we fancy, some percep-
ton of the unfortunate drift of modern
fiction, when in the work now in pro-
grees she makes q mother say to her
daughter, "You do read such books, they
give you such ideas of everything. l
declare that when aunt and | were your
age we knew nothing of wickedness. l
think it was better So" And we I'M
agine, or at least hope, that there are
many others of the same opinion.

Political affairs in Marshall are in a
chsn,ic condition. Candidates are too
numerous and have exhausted the
D ,t,cn,e of the people by impurtuning
chem. OF course they are nearly ali Re
publicans, AS ordinarily mo Others need
spply." 1t may be worth noting that
several Republican members of the Con-
ven,lon from this place at Parkersburg,
voted for the Capital resolution, and they
are not unimportant rersonages. but are
very influential members of the Republi.
can party Thus the Republicans in the
very suburbs of Wheeling will most
likely give AID to her rivals, while the
Parkersbury platform aids this tendency.
On our side the Urgent measures adopt
cd nv some of the young Wheeling law
yers to get possession OF the offices, Is
humbly endured, but not taken kindly,
of course. We have have long since
learned not to dispute the superiority of
the attainmpnts and fitness OF the city
swell over his cotemporsry's in the coun-
try. He may be bufioon, drunkard,
immoral, or a mere wind bag with
whistle to it, still We must endure 1t all
because he is cheeky enough 10 crowd
himself in and everybody else out.
We think you should have share of
the offices, but do please raise the stand
ard of your candidates.
When We complain that the urgency
of Wheeling claims deprive other COM
munities from putting forward good men
who might and ought TO be successful.
don't reply that Wheeling pays one
eighth of sll state taxes, and make that
an excuse for depriving your poor neigh
bors of share in the government. lou
don't always get them, but the demands
are too imperious.
We want you toi keep the Capi-
tsl-a great thing for you, evil
denccd by your building great
house for it; keep it for your
benefit and our accommodation, Is in
your wealth and liberty you are abe TO
do; but look TO your country friends,
don't let them wait at your gates till
they are full of sores, don't 60 back on
the usages of the party 10 Dust the pres
ent member of Congress and put in an
inexperienced youth from Wheeling;
in fact, don't ask for anything except
whs, you have, and You will be the bet
ter for It next winter.
The root will soon be on our new and
splendid Court House, and We are look
| ing out for suitable court TO put in IL
Mr.. Buchanan, an e1-W heelIng lawyer,
aspires to the PRESIDENCY of the County
Court OF this county.
Respectfully, ID.
