has fallen among the hills Of Wyoming Terri

state pretty sharp frost has chilled vegetation.
Tho leaves on the naples Of New England are
beginning to change and soon the woodlands
will be ablaze with color. Tho roadsidcs are
brilliant with the yellow Of the late golden rod

annulling OF several Of tho most brilliant and
hopeful betrothas Of the year. The close and
constant compnnionship fostered by the oppor-
mnities Of their rural rctrcats and by the idle
moss which often affords fertile ground for
tho growth of the tender passion. has in these
eases corrodcd and disincgrated the cord which
