MOVING TREES IN THE FALL.-In order
to get the benefit of time, which is so nec-
essary in the healing Of wounds, as well as
for the production of new roots, the trees
should be taken up from the nursery rows
in the fall, and then heeled-in, burrying the
roots SO deep that they will be beyond the
reach of the frost during the winter months.
In such position, the healing process will
proceed slowly, but surely, and by the time
the frost is out of the ground in spring, the
roots on carefully heeled-in, or buried trees,
will have commenced to throw out new
rootlets, and when placed in their final po-
sition, they will push earlier and more Wig
orously than trees taken up from the nursery
in spring.
A rather dry place should be selected for
burving the roots of trees, because, if water
settles about their roots, it will retard, if it
does not entirely prevent the hea ing OF
wounds. 1t is well to cover about one half
the STEMS from the roots upward; the re-
mainder may be protected with evergreen
boughs, or coarse bog-hay, or some similar
material. Straw should never be used for
this purpose if it can be avoided, because il
is certain to attract mice. Soft-wooded
trees, like the magnolias, tulip, papaw, and
lindens, require more protection when heel
in in the fall, than the hard-wooded kinds
and whenever practicable, they should be
kept in cool cellars.-ANDREw S. FULLEF
in american Agricutturist for November.

A PASTORAL VISIT TO A VAIN SISTER,
The Rev. e. G. Gange, speaking at t.Bristol
the other night, said he believed in careful
preparation at home of sermons for the Sun
day, instead Of ''gadding about from house
to house visiting" In his early career he
was earnestly requested by deacon to
visit member of the congregation who
was very i'll, and it was suggested that be
should call at II o'clock in the morning.
He did SO, and found the poor woman very
much better, but greatly put out at his
visit, as she had her hair in curl paper, her
sleeves tucked up to her elbows, and was
doing bit of household sweeping and
busting. He begged her not to mind him
as he was fused to that sort of thing"
He would have short prayer-he would
not be long; they knew he never was long
about anything.
| He selected chair and knelt down; she
selected another, and he began the prayer.
He heard the door opened once; he heard it
opened q second time. He concluded an
earnest prayer on the poor woman's behalf,
and on looking round-lo! perfect trans
formation. While he was praying she had
slipped up to her bedroom, washed hel
hands and face, curled her hair, changed
her attire-and there she was in her very
best silk, fittingly prepared to receive com
pany, while he had been praying among the
empty chans.-Bristot Mercury.

AUT UMN.

Who is 1t that paints the woodlands
Like gorgeous gown of golds
Dropping here and there ripple,
OF verniilion in each toid7
Who is it that calls the robins
And the black birds into bands,
Pointing them with flaming fingers.
To the sunny, southern lands7"
What has scorched the tender blossoms
In our yards they're dying now
Do you know who Kissed the apple
TIL it Redeemed on the bough?
Why so dumb the winding streamlet?
Down the hill it used to leap,
Now 1 family hear It sobbing-
Sobblng out like one in sleep.
Leaden clouds lay on the heavens,
Like a burden on the heart,
And the winds together whisper,
Sad as loved ones ere they part.
Then anon a dreamy dulIness
Hovers over sky and earth.
All! my soul reflects the sadness,
And 1 seek my friendly hearth.
You who love the Indian summer,
So renowned by pen and art
Go and revel in the cleaning
While so sadly pants my heart,
No; can not watch the leaflets
On the whirlwind as they ride.
For just so a hectic river
Bore my darling from my side.

POET r. Y.
BY LOUISA O. MoULToN.


Just a little babe, lying in my arms,
Would that I could keep you with your baby
charms;
Helpless. clinglng fingers, downy golden hair.
Where the sunshine fingers, caught from 9TH
erwbere;
Blue eyes asking questions, lips that cannot
speak.
Holy- poly shoulders, dim2le in your cheek;
Dainty little blossom, In a world of woe;
Thus fain would keep you, for love you So
Roguish little damsel. scarcely six years old
Feet that never weary, hair of deeper gold
Tongue that never ceases talking all the day;
Blue eyes learning wonders of the world about,
winsome little damsel, all the neighbors
know;
Thus long to keep you. for love you so.
Sober little schoolgirl, with your strap of
books,
And such grave Importance in your puzzled
looks;
Solving weary problems. poring over sums,
Yet with tooth for sponge-cake and for sugar
plums;
Reading books of romance in your bed at
night.
Waking up to study in the morning light;
Anxious as to ribbons. deft to tie a bow,
Full of fcontradiction-I would keep you SO.
Sweet and thoughtful maiden. sitting by my
side.
All the worlds before you, and the world IL
wide;
Hearts are there for winning, hearts are there
+ to break,
Has your own, shy maiden, just begun to
wake?
Is that rose of dawning glowing on your
check?
Telling us in bushes what on will not speak?
Shy and tender maiden. I would fain forego
All the golden future. just to keep you so.
All the listening angels saw that she was fair
Rare for ripe unfolding in the upper air.
Now the rose of dawning turns to lily white.
And the close-shut eyeiids veil the eyes from
sight.
All the past summon as kiss her brow
Babe, and child. and maiden, all are with me
now.
Oh my heart is breaking; but Gods love
know
Safe among the angels He will keen her So

AUTUMN LEAVES.
BY NJ. s. HAYCRoFT.

Oh. swayihg leaves OF red and brown,
Oh, yellow, drifting leaves;
No more the ripening rays come down,
The birds have left the caves.
The tuneful songs Of joy are fled
Alone ye shivering stay;
The sunshine of the year Is dead,
The summer passed away
And one by one, meath clouding sky,
Ye. too. must surely go,
Till forest-paths in silence lie
Beneath the shrouding snow.
Not vainly, when the moon was high,
Ye bowed in shadow dep,
Embracing all caressingly
The children's holy sleep.
Not vainly now ye patient fade
In quiet autumn hour,
The woodland sod anew to aid
Through Natures mystic power.
What matter though earth's wintry hands
May seem to hold ye still,
If but the Master understands
That ye have worked His will?

Ayers Sarsaparilla
Ayers Sarsaparilla.

Six months ago was completely covered with
a terrible humor and scrofaious sores. Tho
humor caused an incessant and intolerable
itching, and the skin cracked so as to cause
the blood to flow in many places whenever
moved. NY suiferings were great, and my
life a burden. 1 commenced the use of the
SARsAPARILLA in April last, and have used
it regularly since that time. My condition
began to improve at once. The sores have
all healed, and feel perfectly we'll in every
respect-being now able TO do good days
work. although 73 years of ago. Many inquire
what has wrought such q cure in my case, and
