An Autumnai Rhapsody.


In eloudless skies, through all these
dreamy days,
The sun no longer on the landscape
glaresi
But soft on hill and river, yelled In haze
"That cider goes down stairsl"
The slghlng winds, like summers dying
breath,
Wailipg and sobbIng DER the autumn's
rayages,
whispers sweet monodIes-lhe lowers
death
"Thc mans here with the winter cab
bagosl"
See where the sere and yellow autumn
leaf,
whIrled by tho rude zephyrs from lts
native grove,
IN sombrc russet or Ia crimson PRIDE
"Come, help put up this stoyel"
Like rosy snownakes on the silent ground,
Where late In emerald robes the maple
stoodi
The leafy showers, with just the ghost OF
sound
"Whcre shall | cord this w0od!"
Afai through ccloing glades, the doves
sad song,
Like the complalnlngS Of wounded
soul,
In notes as pa,ntivc, chldcs the day
along
"Whcre DO you want this coal!"

INDIAN SUMMER.-This halcyon peri
cd of our autumn will always in some
way be associated with the Indian
1t is red and yellow and dusky like
him. The smoke of his campfire seems
again in the air. The memory of him
pervades the woods. His plumes and
moccasons and blankets of sbins form
just the costume the season demands
1t was doubtless his chosen period
The gods smiled upon him then if ever.
The time Of the chase, the season of
the buck and the doe, and of the ripen-
ing of all forest fruits the time when
all men are incipient hunters, when the
first frosts have given pungency to the
air, when to be abroad on the hills or
in the woods is a delight that both old
and young feel; if the red aborigine
ever had his summer of fulness and
contentment, it must have been at this
season, and it fitly bears his name.

DIvoRcE.-Of the frequency Of di-
vorce in New England the Interior
says that sit probably comes of an
over-supply of literary culture and an
under-supply of domesticity-they are
too literary and too stingy. There is
not enough variety among them-too
much sameness of novels in the library
and of boiled beans in the kitchen. 1t
is not in human nature to stand so
much of George Eliot along with so
little to eat. Who ever heard of man
getting divorce from Pennsylvania
girl-one who knows the mystery Of
fried chicken and wafles? or an Ohio,
Kentucky, or Indiana girl, who under
stands the true inwardness Of hot corn
bread and fresh butter ?"

VALUABLE LINIMENT.-"Scarcely q
week passcs," says physician, "that
there is not u report Of some one who
has died of tetanus, commonly called
lockjaw, brought on by some sharp
instrument being stuck in the body
usually a nail in the foot. Such wounds
will generally prove harmless if the
following liniment be properly applied :
Two ounces of alcohol, two ounces oil
of origanum, one-half founce tincture OF
camphor. I was once called to see a
boy twenty-four hours after he had
stuck a rusty nail into his foot. He
appeared to be in intense agony and
his foot was considerably swollen. !
opened the wound so that serum flowed
little from it, and then folded a piece
of soft cotton cloth, eight-ply, and
thoroughly saturated it with the lini-
ment and bound it on the wound, CIV
ing instructions to renew the applica-
ton every two hours until relief be
given. In six hours called to see the
boy; and he was out in the yard play
ing, and suffered no more from the
wound. The liniment is for any fresh
wound on man or beast and every
family ought to keep bottle of it. I
do not affirm that in every case it will
prevent lockjaw, but do believe that,
Improperly used, lockjaw would seldom
occur"

Mr.. HAy1HORNE's GHOST.


made il for q ghost. At least that was
tho opinion of many people Tor long
while, and no doubt is yet. l never
told the story before, but have lately
observed great number Of supernat-
ural incidents recorded in the columns
of daily paper, it has struck me that
! may add something in the same line.
When / first entered into business
for myself, as a lawyer in Westerfeld,
young fellow whose beard was just
beginning to grow,-old Mr.. Hay
thorne lived in that place with couple
of servants. He was an old man OF
ninety, hut looked no more than sixty.
He rode about the country, gave the
most recherche dinners to his friends,
and dressed elegantly.
1t was not thought-being miser-
that he had become rich by his own
excrtions. He came of q wealthy fam
lily, and legacy after legacy had been
left to him. He had been married,
his wife died, and so did his only
daughter. He never thought of mar
rying again, but he took nephew to
live with him, and everybody believed
that he would make him his heir. But
he was no time server, and did as he
pleased; and somehow or other they
had falling out.
There was a sneaking fellow named
Potter about the house good deal, a
regular Uriah Heep, perpetually frown
Ing on old Haythorne, and always so
humble. He told lies about young
Allan, l think, and made his uncle
think him a reprobate and when the
young man went to London and be-
came an actor, the uncle was led to
believe that he had gone to the dogs.
And now it was we'll knownthat a will
had been made in the favor of Potter
and that the nephew was left without a
penny.
That had been good many years
before, and Potter was waiting for old
Mr.. Haythorne's shoes yet. The
nephew was man of forty years. 1t
doesn't take long to change from young
to middle-age in this world, and Potter
was quite grizzled and had lost most of
his teeth.
Old Haythorne had never lost one
yet, and his cheeks were like pippins.
For all any one could see, Potter might
die first, but he had lived at the Grange
for twenty years. and had all he needed
and more than he deserved, and no
doubt thought himself lucky fellow.
No one knows what the day may
bring forth. One morning, 10 the great
surprise of everybody in town, a SER
want from the Grange was seen rush
ing in hot haste for the surgeon, and
soon the news spread through the vii
lage that old Mr.. Haythorne was dy-
ing. Potter went away trying to look
mournful, and lots of people were real
ly sorry. l was, though had never
spoken to the old gentleman, he was
such hale, happy, bright old fellow.
The first day he was worse, the next
better, then worse again. Then they
said he was unconscious.
1t was just after this report, late in
the evening, that sat here, exactly
where am sitting now, quite alone,
when the door opened and saw old
Mr.. Haytborne. He was iu dressing.
