REvERIE OF THE DAT.
BY D. BRAINERD WILLIAMSON.

BY D. BRAINERD WILLIAMSON.
The days are growing less;
The hours draw close together,
Like souls that dread the stress
or Life's autumnal weather.
Some leaves are turning brown,
And others red and yellow;
The apples, fallen down.
Make earth look ripe and mellow.
Ihear the startling whir
ofpartridge and of pheasant,
In Held and wood, where were
The wheat and vine 80 pleasant.
hear the squirrel cut.
Behind the leafy visors,
The hull-less hickory-nut,
With eager, sharp incisors.
And there see, below,
The dark and sullen river,
Whose waves, In sluggish flow,
Beneath the cold winds shiver;
Since, as the river runs, rg-
1t hath no warm emotion,
For shine not stars, or suns,
To light it to the ocean y li-i s-is4a
And Summers blossoms fall- 90 4"
Just when their blooms completest-
The qucenly rose and all, I
That to our hearts are sweetest.
No marvel now, to me, Ec.sI 1fs1
How brief the days are growing 81
How sullen to the sea
The starless stream is fiowing:i
Or how the blossoms fall
Or the frost comes hither:
Or why on earth at all,
The beautiful should wither;
For Nature, likeour lives, ..4 t
Hath also silent sorrow:
To-day its glory thrives,
To droop and die tomorrow.
But men, who live Alright,
The arm of heaven will strengthen;
Their days can have no night,
But shall forever lengthen.

Advice to q Young Man.


And then, remember, my son, you
have to work. Whether you handle a
pick or pen, wheelbarrow or a set of
books, digging bitches or editing q pa
per, ringing an auction bell or writing
funny things, you must work. If you
will look around you, son, you will see
that the men who are most able to 1--we
the rest of their days without work are
the men who work the hardest. Don't
be afraid of killing yourself with over
work, son. 1t is beyond your power to
do that. Men can not work so hard as
that on the sunny side of thirty. They
die sometimes, but it's because they quit
work at six p. N. and don't get home
until two 9. N. It's the interval that
kills, my son. The work gives you an
appetite for your meals. it lends solid
ity to your slumber, it gives you a per-
feet and grateful appreciation of holi-
day. There are young men who do not
work, my son young men who make q
living by sucking the end of cane !;
whose entire mental development is in
sufficient to tell them which side of a
postage stamp to lick /; young men who
can tie Q necktie in eleven different
knots and never lay wrinkle in it, and
then would get into West Hill street
car to go to Chicago; who can spend
more money in day than you can earn
in month, son, and who will go to the
sheriff's to buy postal card, and apply
at the office of the street commissioner
for a marriage license. But the world
is not proud of them, son, 1t does not
know their names, even; it simply
speaks of them as old so-and SOS boys.
Nobody likes them, nobody hates them !;
the great busy world doesn't even know
they are there, and at the great day of
the resurrection, if they do not appear
at the sound of the trumpet-and they
certainly will not unless somebody tells
thera what it is for and what to dol
don't think Gabriel will miss them or
notice their absence. and they will not
be sent for. or waited for, or disturbed.
Things will go on just as well without
them. So find out what you want ta be
and to do, son, and take off your coat
and make a dust in the world. The
buster you are the less dsviltry you will
be apt to get into. the sweeter will be
your sleep, .ke brighter and happiel
your holidays, and the better satisfied
will the world be with you.-- Hr,pheue.

WASHINGTON.

AN AMERICAN CONSUL IN TROUBLE.
Washington, Aug. 1-Conaul Sprague, of
Gibralter communicates to the department
Of state the particulars of an attempt to ex-
tort money from HIM on the 9th Of July.
The consul received anonymous letters pur-
porting to be from six men, demanding a
loan OF three thousand dollars. The letter
goes into all details of conveying mosey to
conspirators and threatening death to the
consul and family in case Of failure to de-
post at the desig gnated place. The whole
affair is arranged in most circumstantial
manner and bears marks Of practical hands.
The consul communicated with the police.
and detectives were employed. Another
letter, more threatening, but reducing the
amount to six hundred dollars was received.
In this letter the brigands showed they were
cognizant of all that had taken place since
the receipt of the first letter, including the
movements Of the consul and family and of
the police. Sprague has laid the whole
matter before the American minister at
Madrid.
