A STILL DAY IN AUTUMN.
SARAH HELEN WHITMAN.

love to wander through the woodlands hoa-
ry,
In the soft CLEAN Of an autumnal day,
When summer gathers up her robes Of glory,
And, like dream Of beauty, glides away.
How through each loved, familiar path she
fingers,
Serenely smiling through the golden mist,
Tinting the wild grape with her dewy fin
gers,
Till the cool emerald turns to amethyst
Kindling the faint start of the hazel, shin
ing,
To light the gloom of antumn's mouldering
halls,
With hoarv plumes and clematis entwining,
Where DER the rock her withered garland
falls. ass.
Warm lights are on the sleepy uplands wan
ing
Beneath, dark clouds along the horizon
rolled,
Till the slant sunbeams through their fringes
raining,
Battle all the hills in melancholy gold.
The moist winds breathe of crisped leaves
and flowers,
In the damp hollows Of the woodland sown
Mingling the freshness Of autumnal showers
With spicy airs from cedar alleys blown.
Beside the brook and on the ambered
meadow,
Where yellow fern tufts feck the faded
ground,
With folded lids beneath their palmy shadow
The gentian mods, in dewy slumbers bound.
Upon these softy-tinted lids the bee sits brood
ing,
Like fond lover 10th to say farewell;
Or, with shut wings, through silkcn folds in
truding,
Creeps near her heart, his drowsy tale to
tell.
The little birds upon the hillside lonely
Fit noiselessly along from spray to spray,
Silent rs sweet, wandering thought, that
Shows Its bright wings and softly glides
away.
The scentless flowers in the warm sunlight
dreaming
Forget to breathe their fullness Of delight,
And through the tranced woods soft airs are
streaming,
Still as the dewfall Of summer night.
SO in my heart . swe st, unwonted feeling
Stis like the wind in oceans hollow shell,
Through all Its secret chamters softly steal,
ing,
Yet finds no words its mystic charms to tell

THROUGH MANY TRIALS.
Final Aequittsi Of an Old Man for Murder Who
HAD Been Five Tirass Upon the oaiiows.

ABBKvILLE,. 8. c., Oct. 31.-J. +. Davids,
an old colored man, who has been under
sentence Of death here for murder for five or
six years, was acquitted to-day. This Is one
of the most remarkable cases on record.
Dayids has been on the scafold five times.
Every time the Governor interposed and
granted him new lease Of life. The last
time Davids was on the scafold, the moose
was adius.ed about his neck, and the Sheriff
IVES in the act Of removing the trap to give
The prisoner the fatal drop, when messen-
ger covered with dust dashed up to the gal
lows with respite from the Governor. He
arrived In the very nick Of time. Had he de-
lsyed FIVE minutes his errand would have
been fruitless, and Davids wsuld have been
where be would have given the officers Of The
lay no further tronbie. Dsyids was charged
With the murder Of an old white man and his
sister q Indigo Springs, about forty miles
fron this place. The evidence upon which
he was convicted was circunstsntial, but
pointed very strongly to the accused = the
murderer. Davids was 10 years old. He
hsd been IN inmate Of the jail 80 long that
he became quite ! fixture, and rsther liked
the life.

Hints on Raising Chickens.

From advance sheets of the second edi-
tion of VIM. Niles "Pacifc Coast Poultry
and Stock Book" we take the following prac-
tical suggestions on the early care and feed
ing of young chickens:
When the chickens commence Matching let
them alone for twenty-four hours, then re-
move them with their hen mother to their
coop, at the same time apply little melted.
or soft lard with the finger to the top Of their
heads and under their throats; 1t will pre-
vent the large head lice or ticks from annoy
ing them. This should be repeated two or
three times a month. Three-fourths of all
the chicks that die before they are two
months old are killed by vermin. Yet the
owner will pick up q droopy chicken, exam
inc it, and say there is none on it. But, ifhe
would apply drop of lard under the throat
he would probably observe dozen or more
large fat fellows back out to the end Of the
feathers and drop to the ground dead. 1t is
unnecessary to repeat that success in rear
ing chicken. depends upon keeping them
free from insects. The first feed should be
hard-boiled egg, chopped fine. After that,
scalded meal or shcrts mixed with bran and
scalded; and after three or four days Of age,
cracked corn or wheat the last thing At
night. Pure, fresh water should be kept be-
fore them all the time. Feed only what
they will eat up clean, IS sour food will
bring on disease. Milk, both sour and sweet,
is most excellent for chicks, As we'll asgrown
fowls. Another item deserves special no.
tice, being Of the greatest service As an ar
ticle of diet for young and growing chickens.
I refer to bone meal. It supplies an album
dance Of bone-making material, and counter
acts any tendency to diarrhGa, from which
large numbers Of chicks die, by keeping
the digestive organs in good condition.
Green food must be had In the shape Of grass
or vegetables, in orderto have them do well.
use freely Imperial egg food, and find 1t
almost indispensable for rearing young
chicks. BY its use yen win save enough
more chicks to pay for the expense Of using
It twice over.
