Autumn Leaves.

By F. M. MORGAN.
There's charm to me in the autumn skies,
In the changing leaf and its tinted dyes,
And the hazy glow dearly prize
All, so golden, so rich and rare.
There's a charm to me in the silver light,
Of the pale-browed moon on the dew-drops bright
AS she reigns DER all the realms of night,
And nature sinks to rest.
And the rustling leaves not with us long,
Are singing a song, low sweet song,
Which bears me back to youthful throng,
was wont to join with pride.
All. the young days come and the old days 60.
And the forest shades do richer grow,
And the north wind tells us in whispers low,
That the summer time is past.
Then no for the hills where the brown nut falls,
Where the chatty squirrel his young mate calls,
AS they garner stores for their woody halls,
And skip from bOugh to bough.
A happy joyous season, good to see;
October, looking so beautifully,
With autumn leaves that clothe the maple tree,
In colors of the richest hues
All, what tender thoughts as the shadows fall,
AS our memory tn departed years recall
We turn our footsteps one and all
To our homes now beyond the vale

A Day at Old Concord.

Dear Mr.. Stone:
Will you and your readers come on a
little visit to our old Massachusetts,
Concord 1t shall be one of the rarest
of these rare October days, when the
atmosphere is fairly saturated with mel
low light, which throws halo around
the quaint old buildings and newer
mansions. Perhaps we will go first to
the new State Prison; good many
cOmers pass directly there. Round a
corner where stands the old tavern,
dated 1775, up broad Main street,-stOp
IL moment, that is Louisa M. Alcott,
who wrote "Little Women," driving by
in her phaetOn. Now the stores are be-
hind us and elegant residences are on
Thoreau lived, occupied now by Bron-
son Alcott; here is Judge Hoar's, and
other notables all about.
Soon we cross the Concord river over
one of the bridges guarded 10y the Brit
ish Oh day America can't forget. Out
on wide plain stands the imposing
building we seek, brick with granite
trimmings, and much iron work for en-
brOidery. Warden Chamberlain meets
our party to escort us in and out again.
The shops are light and pleasant. First
is enc where the iron strips which have
bound cotton bales are put to rights for
farther use. At this, the heaviest work,
are set such men as Chace, Hathaway
and Waterman. The hard labor brings
them good appetites and good sleep.
They have no chance to brood over
their troubles and actually gain flesh
and health. The warden said that with
lighter work some would die of dejec-
ton in six months. About seventy mur-
derers are here on life sentences. 'Il
you see a nice looking, amiable man,
you may set him down as in for cutting
somebody's throat. 1t is the forgers
and burglars, who spend life in crime,
that have the worst faces and worst
spirit" 1 thought the compliment
would hardly apply to some of your
Vermont murderers. We will not stop
to describe the strong cells, kitchen,
chapel, and library, but climb to the
hospital at the top. Here, out of seven

A CAUTIOUS JUDGE. - The special
correspondent of the JOnrnal des Debats
recounts the following anecdOte, told to
MN. Leon Say and Cocherery by Mr..
Forbes, Chairman of the Metropolitan
District Railway. Mr.. Forbes had re-
Gently before him the question of dis
missing an employe of the company
who had been ten minutes late in dis
charging some highly responsible duty.
The culprit alledged in excuse that his
watch had suddenly lost ten minutes
during the night, and was let off with a
severe reprimand. Eight days after a
similar want of punctuality took place,
and similar excuse was made. A
strong appeal was made by the man,
with the result that Mr.. Forbes took his
watch and kept it for eight days, let
ting. the question of punishment remain
IN abeyance. On the seventh day Mr..
Forbes, in his turn, fell a victim to the
fatal watch, and missed an important
appointment by ten minutes. The en-
ploye who had been suspended was re-
stored to duty, and received another
watch, Mr.. Forbes keeping the other as
reminder, to use his own words, "ot
the great responsibility which rests upon
man having under his orders hundreds

DIvERTING CHILDREN.-When child
is hurt never hush its cries. 1t is mex
cusable barbarity it is repressing its
instincts; and for this reason, if physi-
cal punishment is inflicted upon a child
it is perfect brutality. A thousand
times better is it to soothe by kindly
stories, by explaining pictures, or by
providing it with new toys. We have
many a time, says famous doctor, in
our professional experience as to sick
children, found more benefit to be de-
rived from a beautiful or interesting
toy than from dose of physic. The
greatest humanity another can exhibit
in respect to her sick child is to divert
it, in all pleasing ways possible, as we
ourselves, who are larger children, feel
sometimes really sick, when a cheerful
face and much loved friend has come
in, and before we know it, we have for
gotten what was the matter with us.

BOILED POTATOES GLoRIFIED.-A
New York paper suggests that the
young ladies of Vassar college, having
successfully wrestled with Greek roots,
now turn their attention to the art of
boiling potatoes. To boil a potato
properly is thought very simple affair
and yet there is not one table in so
where they appear in that perfection
which makes potato "boiled with its
jacket on" one of the most delicious of
esculents. People who do not know
what boiled potato is, in that high
state when it appears smoking from the
pot, and bursting like IL cotton pod, in
to mealy whiteness, neither too wet nor
too dry, but always piping hot as it is
stripped of its skin and prepared for its
garnish of salt and butter, with pepper
according to taste-people who do not
know the boiled potato in that state OF
perfection content themselves with the
esculent sliced and fried in grease (au
abomination to the cultured palate and
terror to delicate stOmachs,) and think
they know what potatoes are! Next t.
a potato baked, potato boiled proper
ly touches that gastronomic economy
in its tenderest region, and does MOI
pail upon the taste though it be served
at table 365 times a year. Whoever
does not relish the potato boiled in the
manner we have described, but mus
have it sliced, fried, stewed or mashed
with addition of parsley or other savorN
things, should suspect the condition o
his palate and stomach, and consult
physician for some remedy for morbit
appetite.

EAT APPLEs.--Apples, in addition to
being dilicious fruit, make pleasant
medicine. A raw, mellow apple is di-
gested in an hour and a half, while
boiled cabbage requires five hours. The
most healthy dessert that can be placed
on a table is baked apple. If eaten
frequently at breakfast, with coarse
bread and butter, without meat flesh of
any kind, it has an admirable effect on
the general system, often removing con-
stipatiOn, correcting acidities, aud cool
ing off febrile conditions more effectu-
ally than the most approved medicines.
If families could be induced to substi-
tute apples, ripe and sound, for pies,
cakes and sweetmeats, with which their
children are frequently stuffed, there
would be elimination in the total sum
of doctors bills in single year, suffi-
cient to lay in ii stock of this delicious
fruit for the whole seasons use.

From the WOman's Journal
How Woman "Cramped" Corwin.

Aunt Fanny Gage related to us an in
cident in her own life, which shows how
much one true, earnest mother did in
preventing improper language being
used by public speaker. When tie
great political campaign of 1910 opened,
one of the first meetings was held in the
town of which she was resident. She
informed the chairman of the committee
of arrangements that she, and number
of other ladies would be at the meet
ing.
spray don't cOme," said he; "'Tom Cor
win is to be the speaker, we expect one
of his jOlliest speeches, and much that he
will say will be unfit for ladies to hear
Do not come and thus cramp him to
do the needed good he must have full
scope"
"My boys will be there" she said
land l do not wish them to hear that
which is unfit for their mother to hear
| shall 60"
True to her word, she and her lady
friends went, and Tom COrwin did him
self the honor to make one of his finest
speeches one long remembered in that
part of Ohio. Not Il word that the mos
refined could not have listened to. The
gentlemen were so delighted that they
invited the ladies to attend all of theiI
meetings during the campaign. The
effect was felt all over the land. La
dies everywhere attended the political
meetings, and the most surprising ma
jority was gained by the party that
welcomed them.
