erenltY IN Death.

Perfect serenity in regard to death IS
not attained by any effort of the will, nor
by any mere process Of reasoning; it is
rather The result OF happy combination
Of bodily and mental conditions. The
chief of these conditions. the assured
hope OF future beyond the grave, in
com parison OF which the brightest earthly
visions fade like acandIe before the dawn.

The hills soft meshed in silver haze.
The gold-brown brook and ancient bridge,
And old red mill beneath the ridge
And dim lights on the orchard side.
With moss grown trees low branching vide
The hamlet nestled in the glade
A drowsy nook that loves the shade
The dusty highway, long and brown,
Slow creeping out beyond the town
To breast the hillside in its strength,
A sient treeless mile in length.
Far to the hanging woods on high
That with their yerdure soothe the eye
With myriad dyes of dusky green
That wear September's richest sheen.
Der old stone wall the blackberry twincs,
Inlaced with wanton gaddlng vines
The clematis and wild fox grape.
The shade bush and the fea.hered brake,
And woodbne eurled in cedar spire
That soon shall glow line OF fire;
Nor darker could the elder CLEAN
With fruitage dipped in stygian stream.
All freaked and splashea with guiltless blood
The sumach fares along the wood;
The mullen takes its lonely stand
Upon the billy pasture land,
Where slow the crickefs voice is heard
Planning some monitory word,
Shrlled by small black coated friar
Who breaches meath the furze and brier.
The golden rod from myriad whorls
Its sunny oriflamme unfurls,
Aud triumphs DER the dusty way.
Companioned by the thistle gay,
That spreads disk so rosy fair
To feed the pretty birds of air,
And foremost, with twitterlng note,
The dainty goldfneh swells its throat,
The noontide warns the quiet air
With scent OF apples spiced and rare,
And ounces by the messy well
Feel in their veins old Midas spell,
While clusters on The bronZug vine
Breathe out an oder half divine.
From thick embroidered. bosky trees
Comes now the murmurous hum Of bees.
Far off the golden stubble land
Lies in a warm and glowing band,
As if old earth, summed through and through
Had ripened to richer hue:
Clouds notified like the ringdove's breast
Move softly onward toward the west,
With riffs of deep and tender hue;
nameless depth of gentian blue.
In perfect beauty, flushed and sweet,
Dear autumn comes with glowing feet;
Her tanned cheek wears a sunset dye,
A laughing light is in her eye;
About her shapely ankles brown
Swells out modest russell gown
With here and here a color dash
4 breastkno of the mountain ash,
Her round arms globed melons bear,
And scarlet leaves have crowned her hair.

Economy in Youth.

While sensible people put no faith IN
fortune telling, we may on general prin-
ciples predict from a boys habits wheth-
er he is likely to succeed or fail in life.
When money burns in his pocket, and he
is impatient to spend all that comes into
his possessiOn-when he spends every
cent of his salary, and even falls into
debt-wher he prefers to invest MS earn
ings in cigars. handsome clothes and
amuGements, 10 putting them at interest
we may safely predict that he will prob
ably never attain wealth without de
cided change of habits, Fifty cents a
week, saved in youth, Is often the nucleus
of a large fortune. 1t is not so much the
amount saved as the habit Of saving that
is important A wealthy banker began
life at seventeen on salary of $500 a
year. This was forty years ago, when a
dollar would go great way, and he
saved half his salary. Had he spent it
all as he might have done without ex-
travagance, lie would probably have oeen
clerk to-day.
The story of Dick Wilmington may
be fable. but it teac4es valuable les
son. He won the interest and help of
his employer by his habit of picking up
stray pins and carefully saving them.
Picking up pins may rot always make a
man a Mayor in the end, but such boys
seldom die In the poor-house.
So far as eur own observation goes,
there are more extravagant than econom-
ical boys. Thirty years hence we shall
see the natural result. Few of them will
be rich and prosperous. Wealth is not
to be despised, for in the right hands, it
may do great good. That economy ,eads
TO wealth in the case of nations may be
illustrated by the prosperous condition
of France to-day. No people understand
better how to live comfortably on littless
it is fashionable TO save. The peasant
out of his small income saves a few francs
every month. So it happens that the
small farmers are the "bloated bond
holders OF France The Germans were
once frugal, but the war indemnity and
war times have made them extravagant,
and the victo-s are far less prosperous
than the vanquished.
Some of our thousand of young readers,
we hope, viii read this article and heed
our advice. To them We say, if you spare
to day, You will be IN a condition to
pend 20 morrow. Many care worn man
1ot knowing where to turn for the means
% meet his moderate expenses, might
nave been in a position to retire on a
competence had he as boy and young
mar avoided extravagant living. 1t is
4 source Of satisfaction to reflect that
economy among Americans is much more
common than it was five years ago. IF
this Re kept up, we shall not have long
TO wait for good iimes.--N Y. Weekly.
