An Autumn Scene.


Inc Indiin summers veil of blue,
Lies on mou tains far away
And, from the east, for ever new,
Dawn ushers in the dreamy day.
The air is still, the rivulet CLEANS
In silver flashes through the vale
The silken mist above the streams
Fair path shines like glist'ning sail.
see the squirrel skip and dart
Among the rainbow tinted leaves,
The glossy chestnuts fire his heart
But, as for him, he never grieves.
Where red aud russet orchards stand.
Bowling their burdens to the plain.
The lover takes his loved ones hand
And saunters through the orchard lane.
The clouds are soft that fleck the sky.
The dry leaves rustic past their feet:
But their unclouded reverie,
And blissful dreams and visions sweet
Guido the splendor of the day,
Surpass the glory of the dawn:
The world itself must pass away
Ere such delights are dead and gone
mark their measured step and slow.
The cottage gate, the parting kiss,
And think no summers vainly go
Ihat end IN such triumphant bliss

The fiirl Who llareS.

Young women who are not smart in
anything else are always smart in love.
Their invention does not fail them, and
Shere is always stroke of boldness that
would amaze the world if undertaken
by anybody else. Something great,
therefore, is always looked for from the
innocent and apparently docile young
women who are driven into corner by
love. They repeatedly show how the
terrestrial angel rushes in where the
other kind would fear to tread.
There are great many illustrations
of this, but the recent exploit of young
woman in Arkansas is little out of the
ordinary run of illustrations. As young
men are more common out there than
in this part of the country-or rather,
as young women are more uncommon
this particular Arkansas girl had two
lovers. Like true girl. she was highly
delighted with both of them, and pro-
badly, just like girl also. she would
have been delighted still more had her
lovers numbered dozen or score.
But as they did not she had to get along
with two; and she endured it like
martyr. When the time came to de-
termine between them she found she
had made mess of it by engaging her.
self to the wrong young man. She was
not long in finding this out and notify
ing the other young man. Her propo-
sition was to marry the young man to
whom she was engaged and elope with
the other in six months.
This scheme seems to have been ac.
cepted. as both propositions have been
carried out. 1t was something that
could be made effective in Arkansas. It
sa good enough thing in it's way for
my part of the West where boys are
cheap and girls are scarce. It wouldn't
10 here however, where there are girls
enough for every boy to have one, and
t would be pretty hazardous under
aking for girl to carry off two within
TX months. Nevertheless, it cannot be
old what girl won't do when she gets
n love. That which goes for common
ense doesn't have much show in
tIuggle with love,

work.
=. We are all OF us workers in one way
or another, but how many of us are
possessed with an earnest desire that
the work We put from our hands shall
be thorough, honest, faithful perform
ance that shall fulfil its purpose and
Withstand the ravages of timer The
great difference in labor is, not in what
is done-not in the kind of work we
perform, but in the spirit we put into
it. From the cleansing of room to
the publication of government, from
the clearing of forest to the chiseling
of statue, from the humblest work of
the hands to the noblest work of heart
and brain, it is the determination to
make it of the best possible quality that
places it in the front rank. The work
that is performed only for the sake of
what it will bring, not for what it will
carry forth, is like cloth of shoddy,
which may please the eye, but will not
wear. 1t is cheap, fimsy stuff, woven
with no nobler purpose than to hold to
gether long enough to be bought and
paid for.

"Bric-a Brac,, Mania.

A story is going of fabulous price
which an Irish honorable and affluent
member of Parliament has paid for a
piece of Sevres porcelain. The chateau
of the Marquis Dupont, at Ferte Saint
Oyr, has had amongst its ornaments
for over half century, couple of small
vases in old red porcelain. One day a
bat found admission to the hall, and
broke one of the little vases, which was,
however, carefully patched together
again.
The accident attracted the attention
of gentleman who was visiting at the
chateau, ana few days after his depar-
ture an unknown person, assumed to be
a dealer in old curiosities, presented
himself, saying he came expressly from
Paris to see the red vases The mar
quis permitted him to examine them.
"Would you sell them?" asked the
stranger.
"No," replied the marquis.
even if l offered you big price for
them ?"
"Let me assure you, once for all, that
I am not dealer in porcelain; have
nothing to SELL"
The Partisan went away; and few
days after the marquis had telegram
in these words:
"Put any price you like on the vases,
if you will consent to dispose of them"
The noble owner, tired of impor-
tunity, thought he would end the affair
by demanding an Incredible sum, and
telegraphed that he would take sixty
thousand francs.
An immediate message of acceptance
was returned and the man came for
his vases. The marquis did not wish
to go back on his word, and the cash
was counted down.
''Now," said the vender, ''may ask
you why you are giving SO absurd a
,um?n
"Oh, sir, Sir Richard Wallace's col
ection of old Sevres china was incom-
olete in wanting the peculiar red color
which your vases have, and bave re-
'old them to him for eighty thousand |

Twilight Dew.

TITS not the beauty of thy form that lures,
Nor yet the soft expression of thine eye;
There's something In thy manner that assures
faltering spirit as it passes by.
A something beaming in thine inner life
That burns its way into the very soul;
With sweet simplicity each charm is rife,
Which beauties The whole.
So like the rose which gently droops its head
With modest bushes more than passing
fair,
When grouped with'choicest flowers OF the bed,
How well doth it compare.
And can you chide the gentle twilight dew
For fondly clinging to the fragrant rose?
When it is banished far away from you,
Where can it find repose2

Games for Winter Evenings,

1t is not beneath the dignity of parents
or Rrown-up relatives to amuse the
children occasionally, and make home
attractive to them during the long win
ter evenings by TIE Introduction of
merry games or simple charades. Some
children are very quick and clever !;
impromptu charades are generally be-
yond them, but pre-arranged charades
are often very we'll performed. Fairy
tales are immensely fancied for chill
dren's plays. "Cinderella," Beauty
and the Beast" "Babes in the Wood"
and other similar themes have been
very we'll arranged for this purpose, and
the necessary rehearsing creates endless
amusement. A pleasant game is called
"Coach and Quiz" Two persons of
merry wit should assume the office of
leading this game, one being entitled
the "coach" and the other the ''ouiz."
The coach begins by stating, in pom
pous manner, that his great learning
has enabled him TO instruct all manner
OF persons upon all possible subjects,
and that he is ready to prepare any ap-
plicant for success in any competitive
examination, and will at once exhibit
his method. He then passes around
the circle of players, whispering into
the ear of each some of the current con-
versational phrases that are now 80
abundant, and urges them aloud to re-
member these words as the answer that
will ensure success. When this is ac-
complished the quiz takes up his duty,
and in professional style asks question
OF each person, receiving the answer
that has been thus prepared. The
more profound and scientific the ques-
tion the more absurd will be the effect
OF the grotesque or ''slang" answer,
which should be pronounced with ap-
parent earnestness. denominations" is
much quieter. 1t consists merely of
giving list of several words to COM
rade, who is expected to form them
into some brief but sensible sentence. !
Two or three persons can frd it very
useful exercise of the mind and memory
as domestic entertainment. "Oon-
trary Customs" can be enjoyed by very
small children, who greatly enjoy the
blunders. If desired forfeits can be
oxacted for the mistakes, or the failure
IAN be punished by exclusion. It must
oe first explained that in this game all
;hings go by the contrary, and when
he order to hol on is given every one
must let 60, and the reverse. The
lirector of the play then produces a
'iece of string. tape, or ribbon for each
# his playmates, and gathers one end
# each into his own hand, while allot-
ing an end to each player. He then
ssues the orders with rapidity, SO as to
'ewilder the players, who will often err
y forgetting to let 60 when strongly
irected to hold on, and the contrary.
