Autumnal Tints.

IL i very curious to observe the regular
ity with which we are told in autumn that
the first frost ~ill change the color Of
the leaves" whereas the frost has nothing
20 do With the change. 1t hs. indeed some
times happened In New England that the
foliage has changed, A. IL by magic, ip
>iuHlr night. 80 that upon looking out OF
the window In the morning, the eye Was
surprised with the spectacle OF the world
well nigh 90 hre; and since this trsnslor-
nation took place in connection with the
mercury Al low point, the whole affair ls
referred u the agency Of Jack FROST. But
why not refer to this prestidigstor the
glowing tints OF the apple. the rich crimson
Of the velvet peach and the purple OF the
PLUMP hany years ago this error was
pointed out by an eminent botsnist, who
showed that the gorgeous color OF the an-
tumn leaf came in the regular process OF
ripening; and though botany Is generally
studied In schools. the old notion comes
back with the beavers every year, showing
that error. in common with truth, espec-
tally when supported BY the voX populi,
will rise sgain,' however deservedly
crushed TO earth.
Leaves find their parallel In s,sn, as al
ready observed, and, like the human spc-
cies, they may ripen suddenly. IL, how
ever, any one chooses to make mystery
Of the intensity OF the autumn colors, there
should be no great difficulty In explaining
the variety. Indeed, the apparent super
iority over the strength of color in the fol-
iage on the continent of Europe may be at
trbuted chiefly to this variety. In Great
Britain the climate is evidently uufsvorabls
to the production of bright forest tones.
but IN parts of Germany the brillIsncy OF
certain kinds Of leaves Is quite equal to
that OF the corresponding varitIes 10 Norta
America. At the same time the greens OF
Europe are quite different from those Of
our own land where, beginning with
burnt green in the South. we pass north
ward along the Atlantic seaboard, reach
lng the true green of the greatest OF the
hay producing states, the State of Maine.
Every one has noticed the unparalleled
green of the Emerald Isle" which be-
comes pale sea green In Scotland and
whitish green in the south of England and
in France only to change TO an ashen
green in Germany and sombre olive In
the Italian states.
But, we were remarhing upon the variety
Of the autumual tints in our own country.
This i explained by the fact that, while in
Europe there are only forty trees that at
tain TO height of thirty feet. In North
America there are lno less that one hun
dred and torty-hence our forests flash
like the plane tree that ''the Persian
adorned with his mantles and jewels."-

An Extraordinary Sentences.

The following sentence was pronounced
by Judge Reading. of Chicago, upon the
liquor dealers who had violated the law by
selling rum to minors. The terrible sar-
casm it contains is powerful sermon on
the whole business Of rum-selling:
by the law you may sell 1t to men and
women, II they will buy. You have given
your bond and paid your license to sell to
them. and no one has . right to molest you
In your legal business. No matter what
the consequences may be, no matter what
poverty and destitutiou are produced by
your selling according tollaw. you have
paid your money for this privilege. and
you are licensed to pursue your calling.
No matter what families are distracted aud
rendered miserable; no matter what wives
are treated with violence; what children
starve or mourn over the degradation OF Q
parent-your business Is legalized. and no
one may interfere with you for II. No mat
ter what mother may agonize over the loss
Of son. or sister blush at the. shame of .
brother, you have . right TO disregard
them all, and pursue your legal calling
you are licensed. You may fit up your
lawful place OF business In the most entic-
ing and captivating form you may furnish
It with the most costly and elegant equip
ments for your own lawful trade; you may
you may use all arts to allure visitors; you
may skillfully arrange and expose to view
your choicest wines and captivating bever-
ages; you may induce thirst by all con-
triysnces to produce q raging appetite for
drink, and then you may supply that ap-
petite to the full because II Is lawful; you
have paid for it-you have 3 license. You
may allow boys and children to frequent
your saloon, they may witness the appa-
rent satisfaction with which their seniors
qusff the sparkling glass you may be
schooling and training them for the period
of twenty-one, when they, too. can partici-
pate-ior all this is lawful. You may hold
the cup to their lips; but you must not let
them drink-thst is unlawful. For, while
you have sll these privileges for the money
you pay, this poor privilege of selling to
children Is denied you. Here parents have
the right to say, Leave my son to me
until the law gives you right To destroy
bin. DO not anticipate that terrible mo-
mcnt when | eau assert for him no further
rights OF protection. That will be soon
enough for me, for his sister. for his moth
er, tor his fiiends, for the community, 10
see him take the road to death. Give him
TO Us in his childhood at least, Let us have
q few hours OF his youth, in which we can
enjoy hts innocence, TO repay US iu some
degree for the care and love we have Law
ishcd upon him.
This Is something which you, who now
stand prisoners at the bar, have not paid
frr; this il not embraced in your license.
For this offence the Court sentences you to
ten days Imprisonment in the county Jail.

He Came Back.

\ story told Of Gov. Duval, OF Florida,
will never wear out. He was the son OF

taciturn man; the boy, large growth Of
fifteen. At the cabin fire, at bed time. &C
cording to the custom of putting on a
back log the old man said. between whtfYs
ot his silent pipe-''Tsb" (the boys nick
name) go out and bring in that backlog
and put it on the fire.
Tab went ont and surveyed the log He
knew it was no use explaining that it was
too heavy, nor prudent for him to return
without having it on his shoulder. His sis
ter, passing, was not surprised thEt he re-
Quested her to bring him out the gun and
powder-horn, as a pOssum or coon might
have passed, or the brother might have
seen bear signs. She brought the gun
and Tab started He found his way
through the woods into Kentucky-this
about l79l-whence some years after he
was elected to Congress.
After an absence of eight years, now a
man of immense size and strength, long
.iven up as slain by a bear, he started to
Washington by way of his old home, TO
see the folks. Entering the little cabis
yard near bed time, he saw the Identical
gum log. He shouldered It, pulled the
latch string and with his load stood before
the old man, pipe in mouth, quiet As usual.
Here is the backlog. father" Better
late than never-put it on the fire and 70
