The Railway House has changed
hands, Messrs. Geo. Hay. Of the Fleck,

years which they have occupied it, aud

Heavy frosts and chilling autumn
winds already remind US that winter IS
fast approaching. Winter and death syn .
onomous-death to TIE beautiful verdure
on our lawns; death to the lovely foliage
upon our shade and forest trees; death
to the perfume and beauty of the many
blossoms that have smiled upon US from
their resting places in the gardens and
lawns about our dwellings. And how
we have learned to love these blossoms;
how we dread to say FAREWELL" how
caressingly and lovingly we cover them
these frosty nights, Trying to protect
their tender beauty for a few more days.
But the leaves fade and the grass withers,
and the lovely blossoms pass away; and
all this can but remind US that sooner or
later the frosty night of death Will come
to us too, and with the touch of its
chilling breath, leave us Ivy the wayside
only broken reed.
