As the brown nuts scatter and fall
Come let us away to the woodlands gray,
At the old breezy call.
Bring wagon, or basket or gunny bag,
Just as we used 10 do;
Here are shellbarks sweet, and our rustling feet
Are brushing the walnuts through;
The bursting burs Of the chcstnuts hang,
or drop with lisplng sound,
And the showcring drops from the hazel copse
Are rife on the frozen ground
Come, darling, your hand, and the basket between
And wen tread the old ways as OF yore,
When was a lad, In homespun clad
And you in your pinafore.
And hold up the lid while heap them In,
These beauties, toothsome and bright;
Not nutty stain shall your hands obtain,
While my heart to the work Is light,
Aud now, while break from their ihony bulls
These chestnuis tawny as gold.

A Husbands Explanation.

1t is a fact that has been noticed and
commented upon time out Of mind that
many husbands neglect those little atten-
tions and marks of affection Of which they
were so lavish during courtsfip. OF
course, there must be reason for custom
which, though reprehensible in the alb
stract, has the sanction Of all but uniyer-
sal practice, and it becomes the duty Of
the philosopher to inquire into and ex-
pound it. Perhaps it is best illustrated by
an anecdote which was told Causeur by
friend, whose wife, by the way, manifested
her deep displeasurc in very decided terms
while he was relating it. 1t seems that
on Columbus avenue there dwell welded
pair who were made one last fall. No
knight of old was moro devoted to his
"fs ir ladye" than was the husband during
the honeymoon and the moon that followed
it, But, ere the third moon had waned,
the young wife noted-or thought she
noted, no doubt il was fancy-a change
As time passed on, it became still more
apparent. Her husband was loving, Of
course, but somehow there was lack Of
the old ardour, there was falling off in
the old demonstrativeness. This troubled
her, aud, woman-like, she was quick to
conclude that his love for her had cooled
One evening, after thinking the matter
over all day, she broke out with, "You
don't love me any more" "What makes
you think SO ?" he asked, in business like
way, scarcely lifting his eyes from tho
book which he was reading. Because
she sobbed, "you never pet me any more,
and you are not half so attentive as you
used to be-" And then she broke down
into a regular cry. The husband saw
that something must be done. Laying
aside his book and regretfully relinquishing
his cigar man does hate to be disturb.
ed when once settled for the evening"
he went to his weeping wife aud led her
to the window. any dear" he said, edo
you see that hcrse-car coming up the av-
euue2 ?" "I do" she sobbed. "And do
you see that man running to catch it 2''
ayes, dear, what of il 2" "And do you
see that he is straining every nerve; that
he is shouting to the conductor at the top
of his voice, and doing his best to make
the car stop?" II do" said the wife
whose curiosity was aroused, "but what
on earth has that to do "0ne mo
ment, my dear. Look again. Do you
observe that he has caught the car, and
that he is no longer running, but is proba
bly, quietly seated inside, taking rest
He has got through shouting and running
because he has caught the car. Now, my
dear"-at this point he kissed away hel
tears-"it is just so with me. l have
caught the car" And with that the self.
satisfied monster led his wife back to hel
seat on the sofa, and silently resumed hi'
easy chair, cigar and book.

no man has worked. Humanitarians go
