4 SONG OF AUTUMN.

Hail to thee Autumn. Gracious of presence!
Weary are we of bards that sing
OF the May-tidc Joys Of field and pleasance'
OF the, old, false hymns to the 1althless
A tickle maiden, none might trust her,
Was hoyden Spring, with her chah2eiul
In rinened womanhoods richest luster
Calmly thou contest, Lady and Queen.
Many to her are the ditties laden
With honeved breathings of tiatterlng praise.
Sat"d and vain with applause, proun ElaIue'i'
She tlouts her lovers, and scorns their lays.
Thou With her 'tWere shame 10 coliip"ie
Worthicr thou to be sung and wyooed;
Thou like high-born dame dost bear tnee' &c
Gracious of presence and bounteous VI
mood.
Hail to thee, Autumn! Thee we honor,
Queen of the Seasons, without peer! ,or

But thine are the glory anu crown VI Inc

First in worship why did we set her, $500.
Spring-the hayward, the cold, the coy
Ave in our hearts we have loved thee better,
Autumn. the gracious, the bring er of joy!
Bountiful Autumn! thou that bringest
The sweet calm days OF the cloudless Ngnt.
Bountiful Autumn. thou that ningesl
A mellower luster DER field and height;
Thine is the flush of the purple heather,
Thine is the CLEAN OF the harvest sheaves,
Thine is the glow where ripening together
The apples brighten through dusA-sieeh

Thine is the glory on crags and moorlands'
Thine is the haze upon dreamy seas,
Thine is e FLASHING round dusky 1oreiahus
Of h1lling waters; thy gifts are these:

Well may our hearts go forth to meet thee,
And bring thee in triumph. with shout anu

"BARTLETT & ARNOLD"

I'm Bartlett myself-R. F., and my
partners name is Guy. Anyhow, he
was my partner once, but he isn't now,
because we've gone out of business.
We've been acquainted ever since we
were real little, and always good friends,
except once in while we have TIL or
something.
Last summer there was going to be
big celebration at New Holland. It's
called New Holland because our State
sent for lots of Holland people to come
and settle, and we'd give EN- land. So
they came, and we gave 'em farms, and
their town is called New Holland, and
It's twelve miles away from Deervllle.
Deerville is our town.
Well, the Governor was coming, and
more dozen brass bands, and mill
tionary companies, and folks from all
over everywhere. And they were
going to make speeches and sing and
eat dinner. And | and Guy we were
talking about it under plum-tree in
the garden.
s.Cal Pressy says his fathers going
to have shanty and sell things out
there-gingerbread, and pies, and pea
EuUS. anu SuCu. Anu lCilolnu0'
Twas before this that | and Guy we
wanted good lot of money for some
thing very particular. | don't mind
telling you about it now, for tain
likely Wen ever get it, and I'd as lieves
some other boy ID have the chance as
not. E... ....
Twas to buy pony we wanted it,
like those the circus had. The circus
men told us that they bought their po-
MES of man named David Solomon,
who lived in countA that sounded like
"Jumpup. down to Texas. And he
had one more pony to sell for ten dol
lars, which was cheap, but we'd have
to paw for him to ride on the cars.
The circus man winked good deal
and laughed when we thanked him, and
said 'twasn't any trouble at all, and he
hoped we'd get the pony.
So that's what we wanted the lot OF
money for And as soon as Guy said
that about Cal Pressy's father, an ides
popped into my head, and popped il
out Of my mouth:
LET we have a shanty, too
Guy stopped to think minute.
"Well, say we do,' said he, wher
the minute was up; 'if the folks IL lei
us, which maybe they WON'T
But said they would; for knew my
father always likes to have me do bust
ness on my own hook, because he say:
it learns chap to think for himself
and mothers bound to say Eyes, j.
father does; and Mrs. Arnold alway'
saws. ssDo as Mrs. Bartlett tells you;'
and of course Mr.. Arnold wouldn't fl,
in the faces and eyes Of all three o
,em, and he's little man anyway.
So it turned out just the way saie
this time, though they chaffed us some
and father and Mr.. Arnold made goot
deal of talk about the new firm. Blu
l and Guy we didn't care:
We counted up our bank money, ant
had five dollars and four cents AM
Guy had three dollars and seventy
nine cents. But his father lent hin
one and a quarter to make him eve
partner, and Guy gave his note. !.
So that made ten, and ten dollars !
buy quite a lot of things. And tn
women-folks they said they'd make tn
pies and gingerbread and cake for moth
inc. but we must buy the flour, and S
forth. So we did. TIE and-so-fort
cost 4 coed deal more'n the flour.
So we had six left-six dollars-an

Capital Aid Association.

Our energetic fellow townsman,
Mr.. w. A. Bowman, has accepted
the state agency of Georgia for the
Capital Aid Association of Indian
spolis, a mutual insurance society
which is gaining many new members
in West Tennessee. The peculiar
feature of it is, its members draw out
one thousand dollars at the end of
twelve months from the time they
join, the other members being as
sessed to meet the payments. Mr.
Bowman is an honest, reliable business
man, and every man in Milan who
knows him is his friend. He left for
the Empire State of the South last
Monday, where we hope he will be sue
cessful in his work. Below will be
found an endorsement of the society,
signed by number of our best citi-
zens, who have taken policies:
We the undersigned citizens of Mi
Ian, Tenn, having all confidence in
the business and moral integrity of

citation, located at Indianapolis, Ind.

Two Residences Burned.

The residence of Robert Nevil,
about three miles east.of here, was
burned last Sunday. All his furni.
ture and nearly everything he had
was lost, except the meat he had in
his smokehouse, which was saved .
He had no insurance, but has pluckily
gone to work to rebuild.
Mr.. George Smiths residence, on
Railroad avenue, was burned to the
ground last Wednesday morning
about four o'clock, with nearly all of
his clothing and furniture. Mr..
Smith had kindled fire about three
o'clock and laid down again, but was
aroused by the cracking of the flames.
1t seems to have caught on the roof.
He had $3.50 insurance with the
Hartford Insurance Company, which
will partly replace his loss.

We had long letter from j. N.
this week, but have been unable to
decipher it. We thought We could
make out that he would be here to
lecture next Saturday. However,
we wont's wear to it. If he comes,
our people will see him.
81. N" failed to materialize here
last Saturday night. He came to
town that day, but concluded to take
little stroll to Atwood in the after
noon, to see dear friend. He said
The pressure" here was not great
eDough-that it the people turned
out that night it would kill them
We don'tknow, but it is our impression
that, when he comes again to "raise
the VEIL" he will find the "pressure"
still weaker.
Mons. Leroy proposed to give a
tight rope and trapeze performance on
the street last Saturday, but was pre-
vented by the objection of the owner
of the houses to having the ropes at
tached to them. We saw two or
three surgeons standing near cons
planning of dull business. One or
two undertakers and the deputy corr
oner were also interested spectators.
All were disgusted when the show
didn't come off.
Mr.. Demarree, the temperance lec-
turer, who was announced to speak
here last Monday night, failed to put
in an appearance. a church was
heated and prepared for him, and a
committee appointed to receive him.
They feel disappointed, to say the
least, especially as no word of expla.
nation or apology has been received
from him. Our notice of his appoint.
ment was published in accordance
with a printed list of his appointments.
The editor of the Jackson Whig
takes us to task for failing to give
him credit for a numerous family Of
children-some thirty-odd, we believe
all the progency of one father, and
suggests that the Exchange in future
should not mix its drinks. 1t strikes
us that the drinks must have been
mixed ssabout Jackson if we are ex-
pected to believe this patriarchal sto-
ry. However, we will cheerfully give
the Whig credit for IL whole regiment
of them if desired.

After one short weeks visit to her

last Monday for Nashville. Her stay
was entirely to short and her vacant
chair looks lonely indeed.
John Shepherd, Esq, late of Ma

of his childhood and will reside here
in future. We take pleasure in well
coming his return, ana hope fortune
may smile On his undertakings and
bless him abundantly. He is warm,

We clip the following paragraph
from an interesting letter written by
Rev. Young j. Allen, Superinten-
dent of Missions of the NJ. E. Church,
South, in China, published in last
weeks Nashville Christian Advocate.
The many friends ofthe young ladies
here will be gratified to hear of their
success. CAT Nantziang the Misses
Rankin have projected abroad a far
reaching influence, and are fast COM
ing to the front in their enterprise.
Two more devoted, hard>working la
dies could not be found in China, and
IL rich reward is sure to crown their
faithful and unremitting efforts among
the women and children. 1t will as
tonish you, sir, to hear that in addi>
ton to thier Broadway school work,
they have kindled such an interest
among the people in behalf of day
schools that their present quarters
are altogether too straitened and they
now ask for accommodations with Ga.
pacity for about $50 day pupils, They
are attempting, with some success, to
get access to a more respectable class
ofpeople, and if properly sustained in
their endeavors, will undoubtedly win
their way to an influence over the
best families of the place. Besides
they conduct their work in closest
harmony with that of the parent
Board, thus making their efforts, as
in all cases should be, complementary
to ours. Hope the Woman's Board
will always be so fortunate in the se-
lection Of their representatives for
China"
