OCTOBER LEAVES.

The leaves are slowly falling,
Failing one, by one,
Turning brown and golden
In the Autumn sun.
On the ground they're lying,
All in rainbow dress,
Rough winds do not seattle.
Them in their distress.
But the winds like tyrant,
Rises in his wrath,
Gathering all my dying leaves
To strew along his path.
And they go ringing, signing,
Over hill and plane,
And like our hearts own springtime
= Never come back again.
But in our sunny Southland,
y Where ever sweet and low,
The winds from of the Ocean
Murmuringly blow.
The flowers cease not blooming
Nor the birds to sing,
And before we know tbs Winter,
Behold again'tis Spring.

THE TRIAL TRIP OF L'OISEAU,

Every one in Sleepy Hollow knew
Old Simon. He was man Of few
words, but Of great determination; and
when an idea took possession Of his
mind, nothing less than an earthquake
could shake him in his resolution.
For a long time he had been Won
dering why he was not rich like his
neighbor Gabriel, who had begun life
with less of this worlds goods than
Simon himself possessed, and who at
so years of age. was quite wealthy,
living in "a fine house in Sleepy Hol-
low and sending his daughters to the
renowned Convent Of the "Great
Hill," while Old Simon's girls had to
be content with such instruction as
they could obtain in the village school.
So Old Simon concluded that it was
the steamboat belonging to Gabriel,
which every week came up the bayou
bringing logs and merchandise for the
sawmill and merchants of Sleepy
Hollow, that was to blame for ali this
good fortune; and perhaps hewas on
ly a little envious (the best Of us are
sometimesl. So he concluded to build
a steamboat to run in competition with
the "Clipper," and without more ado
went to see Tom Mason, a young en-
gineer with more brains than money!
struggling along in Sleepy Hollow,
doing more work for less wages than
any man alive. However, Tom was
good fellow with plenty of grit. and
an especial favorite with Old Simon,
whose favorites were few and far
apart. To say that Tom was surpris
ed is not enough, when one morning
the old man came into his shop with
such decided look that Tom knew
something important sent Old Simon
out SO early. Walking IN he seated
himself on a block Of wood. and said:
Mr.. Tom, | want you to make me
one steamboat"
"What did you say? lido not think
I understand you, Mr.. Sinion3 some,
thing about a boat"
Eyes; l want you to make me one
boat that will run more fast and bring
more logs than that "CIippe11 Of
GabrieIs- Iwant to show him some

"Well, Mr.. Simon said tlfe;young
engineer, recovering from his first sur
prise, ssto build steam boat costs
money, and you must have competent
hands to rdn it, and it is not every one
that knows just how to succeed. Let
me tell you, steamboating s risky
business"
sMe can get money, and me can
get men, and me can make my boat
go myself" decidedly answered the
old man. "You viii come with me
one voyage, and show me how, Mr..
Tom; after that | will know.

you wish me to begin; but, inthe first
place, we must get the machinery.

Prosperity for the Farmer.

G. Wood Davis presents IN the
Forum q cheerful process OF reason
Ing to show that in few years more
prosperity will smile on the Amer
lean farmer in way almost un-
precedented in cur history. The
American farmer thinks it is about
time, no doubt, and wonders what
will become Of him meanwhile.
Mr.. Davis says the figures show
that it requires 3.15 acres to supply
the wants OF each individual Amer
lean. A great number of acres have
been brought under cultivation IN
the past fourteen years, a greater
number proportionally than the in
crease OF population warrcntcd.
There are new, however, not many
tillab'e lands yet to be brought into
use. BY 1898 population will have
caught up with the increase in farm
products, and after that an addi-
tional 6.OOO,0C acres yearly will be
required to keep up with the people.
Whence are these additional acres
