could be saved either to profit of the purchas
ser or to some party. who with suitable ma.
chinery' could manufacture the articles on
the spot and thus save large freight bills and
several profits as the goods pass through the

The Senatorial question seems here
to be much one-sided-Madison be
ing enthusiastic for Boss Keyes. we
naturally hear bis name oftenest. For
tunately, however, Madison does not
always reflect the sentiment of the
State, and there is no certainty that
she does so in this matter. Howe and
Carpenter are both active, and have
strong hopes that the Legislature will
see the danger of electing either of
the trio, and will award the prize to
such man as Horace Rnblee, who
is free from the many serious obiec
tons which attach about equally to
the others. We believe that the cleo

AUTUMN DAYS.


Autumn has been called days of
death. 1t is rather the perfection of
life when plants have perfected their
fruits, and ripe seeds are strewed Law
ishly. Are they dead? No! They
contain tho Life germ, only needing
heat and moisture to call other plants
into life. Are the plants dead, which
have stored up nutriment in their
roots for the next years growth ?
They are simply resting from their la
bors safely buried under their cover
OF leaves or snow. Are the trees
swinging their naked branches in the
winter wind dead? In the buds safe
ly enveloped within scales, carefully
embodied one on another, are the germs
of future growth-the microscopic
blossoms, leaves and branches of the
coming year. Does the grass die

The years grow old and die; others
succeed them. The oak of many cen.
turles growth at length grows old and
dies. La the ample fireplace it again
springs into living flame, to rejoice
the heart during the long winters of
Northern homes. Plants perfect their
seeds in one, two, three, or in peren-
NAL years according to their nature,
and at length die having fulfilled their
allotted time. The autumn's and win
ter's rest is not death, but renewing
of vitality for the succeeding year.

Mary had little lamp;
Her lover, all serene,
Extinguished it, for he did not
Want any carnsa epan

Mary had little lamp;
Her lover, all serene,
Extinguished it, for he did not
Want any caress seen.
Solution-Let equal "caress," and plus
equal ''caress SEEM then plus plus will
equal kerosene" and we have the answer
thus:
Extinguished it, for he did not
Want any kerosene"
ii.
When Mary saw the lamp pat out,
She screamed 20, dear, it's dark
'sBut bright enough her lover said
with delight OF a spark"
Solution-Let equal ''delight," and k plus
G equal hyphen g when plus k plus will
equal delight" which produced to United
States means "the light" Note--a. The word
s'delight" refers to the joys of courtship b.
In some countries 'spark" and occurring are
synonymous terms. Therefore:
'But bright enough" her lover said,
with the light of spark"
What makes the youth love Mary so (?
I'll tell you--she's a catch;
And he put out the lamp, you know, /.
So he might strike match
Solution--This is very simple, and can be
solved by mental process. The young man
extingu.shed the light so that he might have
the fun of striking match and lighting it
again.--OH City Derrick.
