Grdndmenan. The tug went to inc
wreck and offered to take the men OF,
but they said they would stay by
her. An hour later they seem to have
changed their minds, but 1t was too late,
as the sea was running very high, aud the
tug could not again reach the wreck.

Such as owe you, and You owe me-"

And pledge me your maiden faith there

With her lips prepared for the words Of

And the pledge Of her faith sPang,

From a holier source than the old saints

From the eneverebbing tide Of lOve-a

changed. During the primitive
state of the forest its sudden denu-
dation produced a more complete
revolution on the face Of the Coun'
try than could passibly happen at
the present time
Mr.. Flagg's theory also leaves
without explanation the hazy COZ
d.,ion OF the atmosphere in Indian
summer, which all close observes
know IS not caused at all by forest
or prairie fires, as was once believ-
ed to be the case. But his theory
fully explains the admitted shorten
ing of the season and its occasional
absence altogether in the older
States of the North and West, and
it is sustained by the fact that
Indian summer IN Canada, Mani
tOba. and the extreme nOtaern and
northwestern sections OF our own
country, where dense forests still
exist and the sod Of vast prairies
is yet unturned, is oil more general
occurrence, is of longer duration
when it does occur, and possesses
in the highest degree all the physi-
cal characteristics ascribed TO it.
The most lovely and the most pro-
tracted indian summer we ever
knew was in Wisconsin and Min
nesota, thirty years ago, before
mach inroad had been made upon
tie forests or prai'ies of the Upper
Mississippi.
