OCTOBER.

October strews the woodlawn oe'r
With many a brilliant color;
The world is brighter than before
why should our hearts be dulleri
Sorrow and the scarlet leaf,
Sad thoughts and sunny weather;
All me this glory and this grief
Agree not well together.
This is the parting season-this
The time when friends are flying,
And lovers now, with many kiss,
Their long farewells are signing.
Why is earth so gaily drest
This pomp that autumn beareth,
A funeral seems, where every guest
A bridal garment weareth.
Each one of us, perchance, may here,
On some blue morn hereafter,
Return to view the gaudy year,
But now with boyish laughter,
We shall then be wrinkled men,
Our brows with silver laden;
But thou this glen maJst seek again
But never more a maiden.
Nature, perhaps, forsees that spring
viii touch her teeming bosom,
And that a few months may bring
The bee, tie bird, the blossom.
All these forests do not know
Or would less brightly wither,
The virgin that adorns them so,
viii meyer agian come hither'

THE HATFlELD-M'COY FEUD.

Odd Devices for Photographs.

There are various ways for providing
surprising results in photography, things
that in one age would have been called
magic. but in ours recognized as scien-
tific tricks. The ghost picture, for IL
stance. in which q shadOwy ghost
through which material objects are visi-
ble-is seen between natural attitudes
and occupations. This is produced by an
almost instantaneous exposure of the
figure that is to do duty as the ghost,
followed by full exposure of the figures
and properties that are TO appear nat
uraL Another novel trick was shown
recently in 4 photograph reproduced by
a prominent trade journal, which pre-
scented the photographer. seated at a
table, playing chess With himself sitting
on the opposite side of the table, while
looking at his two selves playing.
The figures were all on the negative,
which was produced by three successive
exposures of the plate, parts thereof
being masked each time By black vel
vet shutter. Still another trick is that

Bic Money Made bv Tugs.

''What is the most money ever made
hv tug in one trip" was asked of an
old tlg man in South street.
The very largest money ever obtained
was when two tugs picked up derelict
off Sandy Hook. She was IN good scon-
dition, but had been abandoned by hen
crew, who were panic stricken. She
was drifting ashore. and the courts al
lowed a salvage of $4,000 for the two
or $4,000 for a days work each. But
that wasn't towing Job. The biggest
price ever paid by shi p for towing ct
this port, SO far as l know. was when 8

Mexican and Spaniard.

The average Mexican, like the average
American, is free with his mOney-neg-
lectful to those little economics which
Europeans understand SO well, and,
therefore, when a rich Mexican land
owner is in need of q manager for an es-
tate he looks about for a frugal, thrifty
Spaniard, who, if he does make money
for himself, does not neglect his employ
ers interest. 1t Us a common error
among Americans to fancy the Spaniard
as q Boosting, proud fellow, averse to
toll and preferring gentulty in faded
velvet coat to hard work and comfort.
a witty Spaniard has said somewhere
that all Spaniards are either Don Quix-
OteS or SanchO PanZ2s, and there is sOme
measure of truth in this saying. The
Sancho Pauza class of Spaniard has the
hard, homely sense of the New England
farmer, and not little of the dry humor
which the Yankee possesses as by birth
right. The Spanish language has thou
sands Of sharp and racy proverbs availa-
bic for every day use, and the hard
working Spaniard makes free use Of
them.
Another Anglo-Saxon misconception is
that the Spaniard IS man who is ever
seeking a quarrel and whose temper is
fiery and uncertain. There are streaks
Of romanticism in the Spaniard, and any
amount Of good qualities that wear
well in every day life. He is patient,
good humOred. and viii share his meal
with an unfortunate countryman. There
is much sturdy fiber left in the Spanish

puted the control of this hemisphere
Will, ourselves for centuries and left

Ancient Koran Plank Roads.

The PruSSian minister of education, Won
Gossler, having learned that Professor F.
Knoke had lately found traces of old Roman
plank roads on the moor between Nehrholz
and Bragel, not far from Diepholz, in lower
Hanover, invited that gentleman 70 fully in
vestigate the matter. He has just completed
the task. He was able to trace the lines OF
two parallel plank roads right across the
moor, presenting all those distinctive feat
ures which are found in Roman works of
this kind. One of them shows evident signs
of having been demolished by force, the
boards, which were originally fastened with
pegs TO the bearers, having been Violently
torn away and buried III the bog 20 the right
and left of the track.
The other road seems 70 have fallen into
Necay, but there sre signs Of repairs executed
even during the Roman period; for il places
boards have been found fastened over the
original plankS, the fashion of both being the
same Those repairs seem TO have been car
ried out hastily. for III one place nlallet,
employed probably to drive home the pegs,
was found on the track, forgotten, no doubt,
by the workmen. The local Grchaaologists

A Persian Bazaar.

In the bazaar, Teheran, there are the
silyersmiths fusing the metal into Ingots
and bars, hammering at the plates, de-
signing, engraving, chasing and solder
ing; the work Is seen IN progress nom
the very beginning, and woe be to the
unfortunate wretch who shall be de-
tected in using alloy or an unnecessary
quantity of solder. The workers IN
leather, in copper, in iron, the manu-
facturers Of textile fabrics, all give a
continuous industrial exhibition Of their
own, which Is open TO all the world,
''free gratis, for nothing" The confec-
toner produces his sweet stock in trade
under the eye of the purchaser. The
Persian likes to have everything made
specially, and sits by to see it done, TO
make sure that what he buys is fresh,
and that he isn't cheated.
1t is not to be wondered at that the
bazaars are the favorite lounge of the
middle and lower classes. All day long
the great arches OF the bazaar are
throaged by noisy, pushing crowd,
hurrying and gesticulating, but all in
high good hunOr. Here come the noun
tebank, the butfoons, the proprietors Of
dancing bears and monkeys. the street
cOnjurOrs, and the man with the tame
lion; the itiaerant vendors of flowers,
lettuce, pipes and hot tea; the sellers of
eggs and poultry: the dealers il weapons
and second hand clothing, and innu-
merable hawkers.
1t is not to be wondered at that the
European traveller finds it very difficult
indeed to tear himself away from the in
Vulnerable attractions of the Persian ba-
Zaar. The bric-a-brac hunter may come
upon priceless piece of faience, which
he may possibly secure for a few pence.
Here one may occasionally pick up
numismatic treasure, which the owner is
glad to part with for a little more than
the price Of the metal; but here the
stranger must beware, for skillful for
geries Of old coin are not unknown, even
in Persia But there is one honest GUS
tom invariable in the Persian bazaar: if
purchaser is dissatisfied with his oar
gain the seller is always ready to return
him his money If he brings back what
he has bought within twanty-four hours.
This is a custom never departed FROM
Good Words.
