the impression which it's outward as
pect IL calculated to produce, and mo-
mentary fancy will sometimes fit across
the mind that September can not really
be passing away, or that its life Will De
prolonged like II zeklahs.
1t seems so difficult to suppose that
the warm, genial, yet calm withal and
tranquil weather, SO redolent Of life,
health, and permanence, is 80 soon to
leave US. But then come up the words
of George Herbert, "But thou must die"
and with thee ali the lasting beauty Of
our brief English summer. October has
its tine days, but the days are short and
the nights are cold. 1t is as much all In
door month as an outdoor month. With
September come to an end all the m0LteS

The moonlight stroll In the snrubbery, or
the lounge by the garden gate, with per-

pleasures oil the past; and though OF
course they are as appropriate TO any
Otner summer month as they are to Sep

A LONE WIDOWS DEVICE.

An amusing story comes from the Ar
dennes, where, according to the tale, an
agricuiturist recently died, leaving a
wife, horse and dog. A few mo-
ments before his death he called his
wife to him, and bade her sell his horse
and give the prooeeus of the sale to his
relatives, ana to sell the dog and keep
the money thus gained for herself.
Soon alter the death the wife went to
the market with the horse and dog, ana
exhibited them, with the announce
ment tnat the prIce OF the dog Was $40
francs and that OF the horse fr ancs.
The passers-by stopped and stared,
and judged the woman mad, more espe-
cially as she informed all would-be pur-
chasers that to buy the borse it was
necessary to buy the dog first. At last
q curious passer.by concluded the bar
gain; alter which The skillful woman
handed over i've francs to the family Of
her deceased husband, and retained five
hundred francs for herself, thus contriv-
ing at the same time to carry out the let
ter, If not the spirit, Of the wishes OF
her husband, anu to secure the largest
sum of money for herself.
Tue story is good; but we are not sure
that we have not heard the tale told be-
lore, with the scene laid in Ireland.-

AN ENGLISH SEPTEMBER.

1t is curious that September should be
the one month In Whicn we feel the
strongest assurance OF settled calm;
have more reason to believe that to-
morrow will he like to-day than at any
other season OF the year; and yet that
1t should be the last mouth of summer,
with which all the really green, warm,
pleasant days practically depart. The
poetry of decay is brought before us in
October and November, but not In the
month we are speaking of. In three
seasons out Of four September is green
to the last, or sufficiently so TO prevent
one from noting much change.
And it is this contrast no doubt, con-
trast we have already spoken OF, which
constitutes one OF its chief charms-tne
deep stiffness before the equinoctlal
tempest. But the same contrast may be
regarded from another point of view. Il
there is one idea more than another
which the aspect OF September awakes
In us it Is one OF mell0wness and ma.
turity. 1t seems to speak Of the strength
and fullness Of ripe and sunny middle
age, the warmth Of youth without its
lever. the sobriety Of age without its
frost. The ideas Of plenty and abun-
dance, moreover, with which we asso-
