the picnic arrangements of the two societies,
but notwithstanding the unfavorable weather.
there was q very pleasant gathering of the
Baptist Sunday school in the grove near Mr..
Thomas Evans, where the children seemed
to enter largely into the pleasures of the day
until driven away by the rain. The choir
picnic of the Congregational society, which
was arranged to be held in the park, met in
the parsonage hall in considerable numbers
and passed tho rainy evening in a very enjoy
able manner, partaking OF lemonade, ice

AUTUMN LEAVES.

The tints of the forest are uncommony Drll-
liant this year. The ceid and wet September
was favoroble by checking their development
and the frosts have not been sufficient III east
ern Massachusetts to mar their hues. If there
should he no severe frost before November we
shall see during the remainder of this month
a display of tints of extraordinary beauty.
There are very few regions in this vicinity that
do not now present some very fine displays, es-
pecially in the lowland where the red naples
are abundant. On the old Concord turnpike
there are many beautiful groves OF red maple
in the meadows on the north side OF Fresh
Pond where the veeres are so musical IN May
and June. Indeed, one cannot ride out from
Boston into the country five miles,. in any dl-
rection, without seeing many fine views or this
brilliant scenery.
But there is no more favorable opportunity
to view the autumn tints than is afforded on
Bear Hill, in the Middlesex Fells. From this
height we can see all the different hues that
rredominate in the various wooded tracts, ac-
coyling as they are uplands and covered chiefly
with oak. ash and hornbeam, or loWlands
abounding in red maple and tupelo.
The greater part of the wood on the hlgn
grounds in the Fells is covered with oaks OF
different species and these are not tinted be-
fore the last of October; but in many of the
lowlands situated in and around this region
the red naples are in the fullest of their splen..
dor There is no sugar maple in the woods OF
eastern Massachusetts This is an upland tree
that prevails in Maine, New Hampshire and
Vermont, and all along the Green Mountain
range This tree is planted abundantly along
our roadsides and its tints are far more bril-
liant than those of red maple, but they are
chiefly scarlet and orange seldom crimson
and purple.
The last Summer was very dry, and the Au-
tumn tints are brilliant ; but the most Drll'
liant Autumnal hues generally appear after a
wet Summer followed by cool Autumn, II
unattended with frost. Cool weather pre-
serves not only the purity of the colors, but it
maintains the persistence of the foliage. If
the early frosts are delayed, as they have been
] this year around Boston, the tints are brighter
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1882-11-23

for this delay while the weather remains cool.
But wet Summer is so generally followed by
premature hard frosts that the finest displays
of Autumn tints are suddenly ruined by them.
Seldom are all the favorable circumstances for
preserving the purity of the tints combined III
any one season. Not more than once in six OF
eight years are both heat and frost kept away
so as to permit the leaves, unseared and un-
tarnished, to pass through all their beautiful
gradation of coors.
All those who are accustomed to note the
successive changes in the face of nature must
have observed that the different dates in the
Autumn, some being entirely denuded whit
others remain almost unchanged. Some spe
ces preserve their verdure until their leaves
drop to the ground, among which are many OF
the exotic trees and shrubs. Others roll up
their leaves into a crisp before they fall, like
most of the herbaceous plants, without mate
rally changing their color, except by fading.
Such are the locust and grape vine. The leaves
of third class, without willing, change from
green to some brilliant color; the greater part
of our indigenous trees and shrubs are OF this
description.
Those trees in general that display the ear
liest and brightest tints are the first to lose
their leaves. THIS is observable chiefly in the
red naples, whose tints of yellow orange, scar
let, crimson and purple are conspicuous, while
the leaves of the oaks are still green. Wheel
the oaks begin to be tinted, the naples are
rapidly losing their leaves. The tnts of the
American elms are neither so brilliant nor SO
various as those of the naples They consist
only of a few shades of brown and yellow not
usually very brilliant. 1t is worthy of notice
that while our native elms are rapidly losing
their yellow leaves, the English elm still re-
tains it's foliage and its verdure almost as pure
as in the Summer The same difference may
be observed between the greater part of the
indigenous trees of America and those of Eng
land and the continent of Europe.
This habit of European trees of leafing
week earlier than oars, and remaining green
week or two later in the Autumn, has led many
persons to prefer them for ornamental pnrpo-
ses to their kindred American species. a few
additional weeks Of verdure in the foliage of
our trees would be a prolongation of one OF
the pleasant advantages of Summer but it
ought not to be overlooked, that ii the Amer
ican trees do not continue in leaf as long as
those of England, they greatly exceed them in
the brilliancy and variety of their Autunnal
hues. If, therefore, we were to substitute for
eign trees, with their prolonged verdure, for
our native trees, with their early falling leaf,
we should have Autumn without it's present
charms. - Wilson Flaqq, in Boston Transcript.

most sought after and fascinating women III
Newport society were sou.e ladies between
thirty and fifty years of age. The experience

WEARING STAYs.-Dr. Alfred Chadwick
comes to the defence OF women who wear
corsets in style so gallant that we cannot
forbear quoting him. He does not believe
for one moment that fully 80 per cent. OF
women are deformed by stays. "lf such were
! the case" he adds" II should not hesitate
to say that 80 per cent. of women know moth
ing of lacing, for if lacing the figure is prac-
ticed in judicious manner, instead Of de-
formity would come elegance and health. a
well-pplied corset leaves the upper part of the
chest perfectly free and develops the capacity
| of the lungs in that situation-the most im-
portant situation, by the way, especially in
the female sex. Tubercular consumption
usually attacks the apeXes of the lungs,
part far removed from the pressure OF cor
set, however tight; in fact, the tighter the
corset in the lower part of the chest the
greater amount VI WOIh anu eAptsloiOI III UiiO
upper part--but this would not lead to con-
sumption" The doctor believes that wo-
man is in better health in every respect when
wearing proper fitting corset, but he depre-
Gates the beginning suddenly of tight lacing
"What consider to be the perfection to the
female figure or to the MALE" he says, "ls to
begin early in life, say at the age of or lO
years, and then only with very yielding
materials permitting the corset simply to
touch the contour of the body, though little
firmer at the waist. AS the girl grows up
and the chest expands the bust OF the corset
may be very properly made larger, the waist at
the same time being kept within bounds. IT
such system be carfully carried out there
never would be an undue pressure anywhere,
and the girl who reaches wOmanhoOd will
possess the perfection of a figure, with its
round and taper waist, broad shoulders and
well developed chest. 1t always was and will
be necessary to restrain, limit and correct the
growing figure. Without aid nature seldom
forms good waist Gradual and early cor
rectons, instead of violent and sudden reduc-
tion of deformity, is the way to achieve sue
cess-no evil effects can possibly ensue. In
the wearing of the corset, the degree OF COM
fort with which it is borne should be the test
of utility. Early care and judicious manage
ment will in every case succeed in attaining
elegance and in preserving health" This
view will give great satisfaction to the corset
makers and the ladies who wear stays, but it
may we'll be questioned whether stays do not
do more harm than good. Perhaps it is the
abuse, rather than the proper use, which is to
be criticised and condemned.
