THE SMOKERS REvERIE.
OCTOBER.

Tn sitting at dusk meath the old beechen tree,
With its leaves by the autumn made ripe;
While they cling to the stems like old age unto life
/ dream of the days when I'll rest from this strife
And in peace smoke my brierwood pipe.
my brierwood pipe l-of bright fancy the twin,
What medley of forms you create; t.4g
Each puff of white smoke seems vision as fair
As the poets bright dream, and like Dreams fades in
While the dreamer dreams on of his fate
The fieecy white clouds that now float to the sky
Form the visions love most to see;
Fairy shapes that in my boyhood's first dreams
Seem to beckon me on, while beyond them there
bright future in waiting for me-
o my brerwood pipe! 1 ne'er loved thee as now t,
AS that fair form and face steal above;
See she beckons me on to where roses are spread,
And she points to my fancy the bright land ahead,
Where the winds whisper nothing but love.
Oh answer, my pipe, shall by dream be as fair
When it changes to dreams of the past?
When autumns chill winds make this leaf look
AS the leaves the beech tree that shelter here
VIII the trees heart be chilled by the blast?
While musing has gathered around me heap
Of the leaflets all dying and dead:
And see in my reverie plainly revealed
The slope of life's hill, in my boyhood concealed
BY the forms that fair fancy hath bred.
While sit on the banks of the beautiful stream,
Plucking roses that bloom by its side,
know that the shallop will certainly come
When the roses are wtheiel, TO carry me home,
And that life will go out with the tide.

When memory supplants the bright dream;

And leaves me her kiss at the foot OF the START
Two plump white arms are round my neck:

THE CoNGREC ATIoNAL CONVENTION AT BAR
ToN.-At the recent Congregational Con
ventiOn at Barton, the SustentailOn Commit
tee reported that more churches had con-
trlbuted than during any previous year,
and that the time had come when certain
of Its features could he transferred to the
Domestic NJ Visionary Society, and that 1t
might cease TO exist as an independent body.
AT the meeting of the Domestic Missionary
Society, this transfer was accepted.
The report of the condition OF the churches
showed tnat there are 1876 churches in the
State, in only 60 Of which are there settled
pastors There are s5 acting pastors. There
have been one thousand eight hundred al
ditions TO the churches on profession and
400 by letter; and there have been 500 Loss
es by death and dismission. Out OF the
|. 500 who have united with the churches on
profession, 500 are from the Sabbath
schools.
The convention adopted a series of resold
tiOns containing dissent from certain OF the
propositions of the late Advisory Council.
One declared that a council must stick 10 Its
letter missive. and that any acts performed
outside the limits OF such letter were not to
be recognized. Another said that it was
not orderly. in dIsciplInIng n member OF
church, to choose a lesser offence, leaving 4
greater, which was equally evident, uncon-
demned The third declared the principle
that, as minister was 50 constituted by the
church, and. as the right hand Of fellowship
was conferred by them. 50 he was amenabie
to them. and that they had tho right to
Withdraw that which they had conferred.
The place of next meeting was left nnde-
eided The president will be President

The rattle Of the lawn mower is beard in

threw off his coat. whi-ucd like the larmer
who surveys the dewey meadow, and then
went in. The grass fell in showers for about
a minute, and then waited while the scythc
cut the penstock hose in two. The wife and
son came out and denied leaving the hose
there. and after some hard words the mower
cut a new swath. Ii wasn't very long one,
owing to the fact that the point of the Scythe
entered cherry tree. Some boys leaned
over the fence and asked who cut the favor
ite cherry tree, but there was no reply
After pulling and tugsiug for a while, the
scythe was extracted, and the man crossed
to the other side of the yard and cut a swath
along the fence. There were only eighty
four pickets in the fence. That's the reason
the scythc didn't chip into any more. 1t
was a beautiful sWath, however, and it en-

The TRAVEL OF PLANTS. Ts.-Alexander
brought rice from Persia to the Medterra-
mean, the Arabs carried ito Egypt, the Moors
to Spain, the Spaniards to America. Lucul-
lus brought the cherry tree (Which takes its
name from Cerasus, the city of POntus,
where he found it) Rome as trophy of
his Mtbridatic campaign. and l2O years Ia
ter. or in a d. &C, as Pliny tells US, it was
carried to England. Caesar is said TO have
given barley to both Germany and Britain.
According to Strabo, wheat came originally
from the banks of the Indus, but il had
reached the Mediterranean before the dawn
of authentic history. Both barley and wheat
came to the New World with conquerors
and coonists, and the maize which they
found here soon went to Europe in exchange.
1t was known in England in less than 80
wears after the discovery of America it was
introduced to the Mediterranean countries by
the way of Spain. of the end of the 10th cen
tury. and the Nenetlaus soon carried it to
the Levant. Later it travelled up the Dan
ube to Hungary, and gradually spread east
ward to China. The sugar cane, which,
with its sweet products, was known to the
Greeks and Romans only as a curiosity, seems
to have been cultivated in, India and China
from the earliest times. Its introduction in
to Europe was one of the results of the Cru
sades, and thence it was transplanted to Ma
deira, and early in the 10th century from
that island to the West Indies. The orig-
nal home of "King Cotton was probably in
Persia or India, though it is also mentioned
in the early annals of Egypt, and had spread
throughout Africa in very ancient times.
The potato was found in Peru and Chill by
the explorers of those countries, who soon
carried it to Spain. 1t is SAID to have reach
ed Burgundy in 1860, and Italy about the
same time. 1t appears to have been brought
from Virginia to Ireland by Hawkins, a
slave-trader, in 1865 and to England in
1885 by Drake, who presented some tubers
to Gerard who planted them in his garden
in London, and described the plant in his
He1-JaH and it was also introduced by Ra-
leigh at about the same date. But it was
slow to attract attention, and it was not til
a century later that it began to be much cul-
tiyated In 1868 the Royal Society publish
ed the rules for its culture, and from thai
time it rapidly gained favor. The Dutcf
carried it to the Cape of Good Hope in 1900
and thence it made its way to India.
