A Small Hell Gate,

They were in the back yard. One
was boy of twelve and the other had
seen only half as many years. The
younger one sat on barrel, and the old.
er one had two ounces of powder in one
hand, and burning stick in the other.
don't want to be blowed up, y
whined the boy on the barrel, trying tc
get down.
Keep right still, bub," commanded
the other. This thing has been figured
right down to science. If forty.five
thousand pounds of explosives raised
He'll Gate twelve feet, two ounces oi
powder will raise you just exactly the
fittieth part of an inch. Don't make an
alarmist of yourself"
But it'll hurt" persisted the small
boy.
1t can't l say. Haven't | figured
on it2 You may unbutton your coat
and keep your mouth shut, but that's
safeguard enough. Now, then, keep
quiet and listen for rumbling noises"
The powder was well confined under
the barrel. Figures were at fault. The
head of the barrel went up, the small
boy went up. the big boy went endways,
and when the smoke cleared away things
were badly mixed up. The big boy had
sore legs, the little boy was black as coal
and choking with the odor, and woman
ran out and shouted:
"Ill blow you, you good-for nothing !
There's a shilling barrel all split to piec-
es, two pairs of pants to be patched, one
coat-tail on the roof and the other Just

The Indian Summer.

The halcyon period of our autumn
will in some way be associated with the
Indian. 1t is red, aud yellow, and dusky
ike him. The smoke of his camp fire
seems again in the air. The memory of
him pervades the woods. His plumes
and moccasins and blanket of skins,
form Just the costume the season de-
mands. 1t was doubtless his choicest.
period. The gods smiled upon him then
if ever. The time Of the chase, the sea-
son Of the buck and the doe, and of the
ripening of all forest fruits the time
when all men are incipient hunters,
when the first trosts have given pungen-
cy to the air, when to be abroad on the
hills or in the woods is delight that
old and young feel-if the red aborigine
ever had his summer of fullness and
content, it must have been at this sea-
son, and it fitly bears his name.
In how many respects fall initiates or
parodies the spring; ii is indeed, in some
Of its features, sort Of second youth
Of the year. Things emerge and be-
come conspicuous again. The trees at
tract all eyes as in May. The birds
come forth from their summer privacy
and parody their spring reunions and
rivalries some of them sing little af-
ter a silence of months. The robins,
blue-birds, meadow-larks, sparrows, crows
all sport and call, and behave in
manner suggestive of spring. The cock
grouse drums in the woods as he did in
April and May. hepigeons re-appear,
and the wild geese and ducks. The
witch hazel blooms. The trout spawns.
The streams are again full. The air is
humid, and the moisture rises in the
ground. Nature is breaking camp, as in
spring she was going into camp. The
spring yearning and restlessness is rep
resented in one by the increased desire
to travel.
Spring is the inspiration, fall the ex-
piration. Both seasons have their equi-
noxes, both their filmy, hazy air, their
ruddy forest tints. their cold rains, their
drenching fogs, their mystic moons both
have the same solar light and warmth,
the same rays of the sun; yet, after all,
how different the feelings which they in-
spire. One in the morning, the other in
the evening one in youth, the other in
age.

A Boys Opinion of Parents.

'em for nothing, and thinks if hadn't

From the New York Tribune,

From the New York Tribune.
To the great majority of visitors at
the Centennial Exhibition the grounds
that stretch south westward from Hor-
ticultural Hall to Belmont avenue, car
peted with flowers and bright with mass
es of color, present new phase of gar
dening. Except in our public parks,
and there only recently, the average
American has hitherto had little oppor-
tunity of seeing what can be done by
tastefully massing the colors of flowers
and collage plants" Abroad, the
mania for this sort of gardening has
been developed to an extraordinary de-
gree. Fine old.fashioned flower beds
that had been devoted perhaps for cen
turies to the rearing of single, favorite
plants which had been gradually brought
to their highest capacity of bloom and
grace, have been ruthlessly torn up and
remodeled to receive hundreds or thou
sands of cuttings, that furnish for per-
haps month at time great patches or
ribbons of a particular color, and then
must be raked out to make room for
their successors. Some of the old gar
dens that have been thus metamorphos
ed especially in England were of his
toric fame. The old Towering plants
that have been displaced were once dear
to their owners. 1t may be doubted
whether a geometrical patch of coleus
or fever few can find similar place in
the memory of its possessor. Already
the taste for such display of massed
color is on the decline in England. Here
it is just developing.
Yet, even though there is no special
charm of memory associated with this
form of decorative gardening, it is well
worth the seeing when as handsomely
done as it is on the Centennial grounds
Our correspondence gives some detail:
of this feature Of the show. Most peo
pie imagine that it is a very costly busi
ness to bring together such quantities
of flowers or foliage, all afording def.
mite tints and displaying the colors sim.
ultaneously The fact is that the plants
themselves are not expensive, and the
chief cost of this kind of gardening is
in the labor required to keep the bed;
in order and to dig out one set of plant:
and replace them by another as the sea.
son advances. 1t is a profitable bust
ness, no doubt, to the florists who supply
both the plants and the laborers. But
unless the owner Of the garden takes
hold of the hoe himself it will not profit
him with exercise and pleasant thoughts,
as would the care of few old-fashioned
flowers.
Let nobody suppose that this is moi
the season for remarks on this subject
The fall is the season for work in a gar
den, if it is TO be beautiful in the spring
Those of our readers who have tried il
need not be told Of the abundance with
which such brief toll rewards the work
man. Two or three dollars worth o.
Towering bulbs, and few hours labor
with hoe or trowel during the coming
month, will carpet the garden and tn,
courtyard next spring with eolors al
bright as those on the Centennial grounds
and fill the air with the hyacinth's sweet
est perfume.

A Child Saved.

In his Sunday morning sermon at the
rink in Brooklyn, Mr., Moody gave an
account of young lady who was sent
to fashionable boarding school, where
she met one faithful Christian, whose
example and influence led to her con
version.
When she returned home her parents
were annored TO find her Christian, for
they wanted her to mingle in the first
circles. Here the speaker broke Of
with bold and striking apostrophe,
"What is the best society? In dainty
drawing-rooms, among silken curtains,
gorgeous furniture, and velvet carpets
No; the fist circle is around the throne J;
the best society is with Elijah and Elisha
and the prophets, with John and James,
and Peter, and the apostles. Give your
hearts to God, and he will introduce you
to the best society. And so, as it seemed
this young lady thought, for she remain
ed faithful
She went to the Sunday School Of her
church, and asked the superintendent
for class, but he, who only knew her
as fashion-seeking girl, did not give
her'what she asked. So she picked up
a little street Arab, and, hand in hand,
walked with him into the Sunday School
room, and asked the superintendent for
permission to have her little boy in a
class all by himself, which was granted
When that boy heard the children sing
it took him off his feet, as the saying is
and on his return to his home he told
his mother that he had been among the
angels She questioned him and said
" that was Protestant Sunday school
don't go there any more, or I'll tell your
father" But he went the next Sunday
and the father was duly informed anC
the 10y duly fogged. But he wen
again, and took his whipping every TIM

The father saw he couldn't whip hin

peddle for himself on Sunday afternoons

to the young lady and asked her if h
might come to her house and be taugh
