goodbye.
"'Tis the last rows OF SUMNER as the
boy said when he hoed down the potato.
rows on the 31st day of August.
The boy never did and never said any
thing of the kind. He was four miles away,
doubled up with the cholera-morbus in a
strangers orchard. But if you have got to
contine Yourself to proSy, solid truth, what
is going to become OF all the poetry:
And all the newspapers?
Don't speak OF it.
Summer is gone.
We don't know where to. but i Is gone !;

As for lis. we love the mary, mary, sun

crowned hill, and the glen in sombre Sna-
dows lulIed. Gone, with the song OF WOOD.
land bird. Gone, with the evening hum OF
insect life. Gone, with the faded memories
of dimpling riI and yellow stubble-feld.
Gone, with the ring of the scythe in the
meadow lot, the sun-browned reapers and
the long-drawn howl OF the farmland with
his foot in the knives OF the mower. Gone,
gone, gone.
On, tender grace Of the cucumber time,
when there were sounds of cholera-morbus
in the land. Oh. smiling dreams OF the first
strawberry days, when the infinite price for
the intinitesimal pint wrought laughter for
the thoughtless crowd. Oh, merry joke OF
the watermelon rind. Oh, happy thought
OF the grape-seed under the false tooth-piate.
Oh, laughing gulp Of the cherry worm. on,
lthesome Jest OF the boy putting on his an
gel plumage with both pockets and stomach
full OF green apples. Oh. sweet, blithe
roundelay about the woman chasing flies.
Oh, chink of tue ice in the c-bbr. on,
fragrant breath OF the wh-skcy sour. owe

Mock auctions are thus exposed by Gin
cinnati paper: An innocent was looking on
at the bidding on silver watch, when the
auctioneer whispered to him: How much
money have you got?" "Ten dollars"
incautiously answered the innocent. ''Well,
put it up on the watch; don't want you
to take the watch. but want to bluff this
fellow" The money was put up, but the
fellow did not seem at all blutfed, and
wouldn't buy. "Where is my money!"
said innocent. "Why, you put your money
up as security on the watch" Where's
the watch2" "That watch is worth $40,
and you must bring me $40 more before
can let you have it," ....
The fishermen living on the lonely island
OF Hitteren, CIT the coast OF Norway, have
had for generations tradition that in shoals
near the island, over q century ago, large
ship was wrecked. Divers searched for the
vessel this summer and easily found her.
Since then portions OF the cargo, including
ninety:six cannon, twelve anchors, and two
hundred pools OF lead have been recovered.
The cannon bear the date 1716. 1t has been
discovered that the Inflated ship was a Rus
sian man-of-war, and that while on a voy-
age from Cronstadt to Archangel in 1850
she was wrecked. -@.'.i
