October.
BY H. H.

o suns and skies and clouds of June,
And flowers of June together,
Ye cannot rival for one hour
October's bright blue weather,
When loud the bumble-bee makes haste,
Related thriftless vagrant,
And golden rod is dying fast,
And lanes with grapes are fragrant;
When gentlans roll their fringes tight
To save them for the morning,
And the cheStnutS fall from satin burrS
When on the ground red apples lie
In piles like jewels shining,
And redder still on old stone walls
Are leaves of woodbine twining;
When all the lovely wayside things
Their white-wingrd seeds are so wing,
And in the fields, still green and fair,
Late aftermaths are growing
When springs run low and on the brooks,
In Idle golden freighting,
Bright leaves sink nUisrlesS in the hush
OF WOO is, for winter waiting;
When comrades seek sweet country hauntS
By twos and twos together,
And count like miSers, hour by hour,
Octobers bright blue weather.
o suns and skies and flowers of June,
Count all your boasts together,
Love loveth best of all the year
Octobers bright blue weather.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAN in the right side, under the edge

the patient is rarely able to lie on the
left side; sometimes the pain is felt
under the shoulder blade, and it fire.
quently extends to the top of the shoul-
der, and is sometimes mistaken for
rheumatism in the arm. The stomach
is affected with loss of appetite and
sickness; the bowels in general are
costive, sometimes alternative with lax;
the head is troubled with pain, accom-
panied with 4 dull, heavy sensation in
the back part There is generally 4
considerable loss Of memory, accom-
panied with a painful sensation Of hav-
ing left undonc something which ought
to have been done. A slight, dry cough
is sometimes an attendant. The patient
complains Of WEAKNESS and debility; he
is easily startled, his feet are cold or
burning, and he complains Of prickly
sensation Of the skin; his spirits are
low; and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him,
yet he can scarcely summon up forti-
tude enough to try it. In fact, he dis
trusts every remedy. Several of the
above symptoms attend the disease, but
cases have occurred where few of them
existed, yet examination Of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.

the dull speakers that want to be

bereft of soap; all the bores who come

Through the editorial and reportorial
rooms all the follies and shams of the
world are seen, day after day; and the
temptation is to believe in neither God,

me that in this profession there are
some skeptical men; | only wonder that
journalists believe anything.-Trib,aae.

How TO Cook OYsrERs.-If milk is
used. it should be in the proportion of
one quart of milk and one quart of wa
ter to each quart of oysters. If only
water is used. three pints to quart of
oysters is as much as can be used with
out injuriEg the favor of the broth.
Put the milk and water in an enameld.
or thoroughly cleaned brass kettle. over
a good FIRE. When it begins to boil.
put into it one pulverized cracker and
one tablespoonful of -four for each quart
of oysters. Let it boil one minute, to
cook and -four, and then pour in the
oysters. Stir, to keep from burning,
and when it boils up once in the mid
die, remove it from the fire. Add but
ter. salt and pepper. after it Is put in
the tureen, as butter tastes oily if boil
ed in water, and salt shrivels the oysters
if put in when cooking. The secret of
success is to have quick fire. so there
will be no simmering. and to remove
the kettle the very moment its contents
reach the actual boiling point.

Mr.. Beecher recently told story of
his Western experience, which be ap-
peared to enjoy fully as much as the
listeners. "Old Ben Haven, one of
those unselfish men who went out as
ministers among the first settlers of the
West, once told me of his experience
with a blacksmith who became very
angry at him because be had induced
the blacksmith's wife to join the church.
The burly fellow threatened that he
would thrash the life out Of the minister
the first chance he had. Well. Ben
Haven was singing as he was riding
along one morning through the woods
on one Of those narrow corduroy roads,
which don't allow one to turn off on
either side, when he met the blacksmith.
He saw there was no use trying to
avoid the meeting. The blacksmith
took his horse by the bride and asked !?
Your name is Haven. isn't it?' Yes.
And you got my wife into your church 2
Yes We'll, stranger, you've got to
come off that horse. There's going to
be fight here. and one of us is going to be
whipped Ben tried to argue with him
but he saw twas no use and so he said
he was sorry, but if he must, he must.
So he tied his horse to tree, and they
went at it. Sometimes he was on top
and the blacksmith was under, and
sometimes twas the other way. Some
times he got terribly pounded. and some
times the other man. Good old Ben
said he never had such a time in his
life; and he was very sure nothing in
the world sustained him but the grace
of God. Laughter.1 He kept think

And the solemn midnight hears his kuell
The rivers sob like souls in pain.
For the Year that never comes again;
And the wailing winds to the woods complain
That the good old Year ne'er comes again
That the soul Of the brave Old Year has fed;
And the woods respond to the wild winds wall
With many a moan,
With many groan,
For the brave Old Year so stark and pale
All, woe I-for the good old year is dead!

now TO MAKE MISCHIEF.

Keep your eye on your neighbors
Take care of them. Do not let them
stir without watching. They may do
something wrong. if you do. To be
sure, you never knew them to do any,
thing very bad. but it may be on your
account that they have not. Perhaps
if it had not been for your kind care
they might have disgraced themselves
long ago. Therefore. do not relax any
effort to keep them where they ought to
be. Never mind your own business-that
will take care of itself. There is a
man going along-he is looking over the
fence-be suspicious of him !; perhaps
he contemplates stealing, some of these
dark nights; there is no knowing what
queer fancies may have got into his
head.
If you find any symptoms Of any one
passing out of the path of duty, tell
every one else what you see, and be
particular to see great many. 1t is a
good way to circulate such things,
though it may not benefit you or any
one else particularly. Do keep some
thing going-silence is dreadful thing /;
though it was said there was silence In
heaven for the space of half an hour, do
not let such thing occur on earth-it
would be too much for this mundane
sphere.
If, after all your watehful care. you
cannot see anything out of the way in
any one. you may be sure it is not be-
cause they have not done anything bad !;
perhaps, in an unguarded moment, you
lost sight of them-throw out hints
that they are no better than they should
be, that you should not wonder if the
people found out what they were after a
little while, then they may not hold
their heads SO high. Keep it going,
and some one else may take the hint,
and begin to help you along, after a
while; then there will be music, and
everything will work like charm.
