Autumn Musings.

Another fair page in Natures great book
She has opened before onr dull eyes;
And the lessons we read as we longngly look
Fill our hearts with joyful surprise.
Drive away thy forebodings of desolate hours,
Shed no tears for the glory that's fed;
And sigh not in sadness DER whitening flowers,
Nor grieve for the summer that's dead.
The beauty that crowned summers days with
delight
Lives to brighten and bless autumn's hours;
Her face is as fair her smile is as bright
AS when tinting fair summers sweet nowerS.
Now the trees of the forest she robes and she
crowns
With crimson and scarlet and gold;
Rich yellow. bright bronze and beautiful proWns
Softly blend in the robe which around them
she folds.
Like conquering army with banners afoat
Stand the trees i'll the clear, frosty air,
While the unceasIng breeze blows musical
note,
Aud this sweet, cheering message to mortals
they bear.
Obi thouI Whose bright summer of life now is
The white frost of Grief and Times chilling
May silver thy hair pierce thy heart to its core.
But thy life is secure and forever shall last.
Bear bravely thy sorrows, shrink not from thy
And waste not thy strength in regrets or vain
strife;
Then Time sweeping onward shall crown thee
And the dread hour of Death be the dawning
of Life. MARY NJ. MATTHEWS.

Mr.. Good, for they have really done wonders
for me. My symptoms all rapidly disappeared,

Drs. Copeland & Blair have their own labora-
tory and their own pharmacist, whose whole
time is devoted to preparing the medicines for
their many patients. Every prescription is
compounded under the direct supervision of
the doctors themselves which accounts to a
certain extent for the invariabe positive re-
suits of their treatment. To each and every
patient under their care Drs Copeland & Blair
furnish all medicines free of charge.
Drs. Copeland & Blair are responsible to you
for what they represent, and are at all times

AS TO THANKSGIVING.
The Reasons for a Spirit of Gratitude
to the Great Giver.
LYMAN ABBOTT ON CRUCIFlXION
What Pittsburg and Allegheny Preachers
Will Discuss.
dLEANINGS FROM CHURCH FIELDS

Thanksgiving comes next Thursday. 1t
is within the memory of the writer when
this holiday was confined to New England.
President Lincoln was the first to make the
festival OF Thanksgiving national. Before
his day it was local. Now the States which
do not recognize the day are in the minority
in number, and much more so in popula-
ton. 1t is good thing to give thanks unto
the Lord, and the fact that public sentiment
has compelled national holiday of thanks
giving is one of the health!ul signs Of the
times. Among the reasons for thanksgiv-
ing the following are suggested:
First-Health. Without this there is no
real blessing within our reach. If digestion,
nerves and muscles are working orderly, do
ing their appointed work then we have the
very best reasons to give thanks to the
Giver OF every good and perfect gift.
Second-Home. II that word brings up
any pleasant associations there are good
reasons for true thanksgiving. A happy
home life is certainly among the very best
of our earthly enjoyments. A good home,
where peace and love abound is among the
highest of earthly blessings; and if this is
ours let US praise God from whom all bless
ings flow.
Thrd-Country. Let us be thankful that
we are Americans. "Hreathes there a man
with soul so dead who to himself hath not
said this is my own, my native land" The
man or woman who can claim American
birth has abundant ground .or true
thanksgiving. Many hard things are said
by representatives. of parties concerning cor
ruption of politics, but, after all we live in
the greatest country under the sun, and lei
us give thanks. For health, home and
nativity. Americans may give thanks to the
Great Giver.

cards. not sound was to be heard. Strange.
that there is something in suspense which
affects the mind more strongly than the
actual danger. These men mad volunteered,
without a space of hesitation, to face the
risk of death. Yet, not one of them could
now look on without tingling of the blood,
as they waited for the card to fall which
carried a mans lie!
Such was their absorption, that they did
not see two faces which came suddenly
peeping in upon them through the window
OF the room.
The girls on the veranda had been startled
by hearing all at once the sound of voices in
the room close by them. From their posi-
ton they could not avoid overhearlng every
word that passed. They heard the short
speech in which Vane announced to the
men the danger which threatened the well
and the dutv which was expected OF them;
they heard his appeal for volunteers and
then the cheer which followed. So tar they
had remained motionIess, eagerly drinking
in the details oil the proposed adventure;
but when Vane took out the pack of cards
in order 10 select man by lot, to listen
without seeing, was impossible-and In a
minute the two faces came peeplng IN at the
window, in the manner Just described.
From this position thev could see clearly
every card as it was dealt. The cards fell
slowly, one by one, before each man in turn.
The deal went round-card by card, as 1t
appeared, the focus OF nine pairs of eager
ewes. The second deal went round-no
Kuave OF Spades as yet appeared. The
fourth began; would that complete the cir
cult OF the seven? The pack was growing
thin, and expectation deepened now with
every card. Where was the hnave OF
Spaces? Ii must come soon! Again the
cards went rouud.
Nol Not quite. As the last card fell
face upward on the table, thrill went
through the nerves of the spectators. The
two girls at the window shrank back sud-
denly as if they had been shot. There was
the fatal card at last! The lot had fallen to
Eane himself.
The young man laughed lightly as he
threw down the pack.
THAT decides it, be said, II 20 first.
You will meet me at the archway in hall

WHALES IN THE AIR.
Sometimes the Big Sea Monsters Leap 90
Feet Above the Water.

Sometimes the Big Sea Monsters Leap 20
Feet Above the Water.
Youths Companion.l
Captain Basil Hall describes whale so
or 60 feet in length as leaping out of the
water for the fun of the thing. $50 CON-
plete was this enormous feat, "says he, that
for an instant we saw him fairly up in the
air, in horizontal position, at distance of
at least 20 perpendicular feet over our heads.
During his progress upward, there was in
his spring some touch of the vivacity with
which trout or a salmon shoots out OF the
water; but he fell back again on the sea like
huge log thrown on its broadside. and
with such a laundering crash as made all
hands stare in astonishment, and the bold
est drew his breath for a time.
Total demolition, indeed, must have been
the fate of our party, had the whale taken
his leap one minute sooner, for he would
then have fallen plump on the boat. The
waves caused by the explosion spread over
half the anchorage; if the ship herself had
blown up the effect could not have extended
much farther"
Captain Hall wrote to Mr.. Scoresby one
of the highest authorities in these matters,
relating the fact. The reply was: Il have
much pleasure in being able to attest that
such high leaps are not infrequent. While
engaged in the northern whale fishery,
witnessed many similar exploits oil whales
of 40 or so feet in length. forgetting their
usual gravity, and making these odd ex-
hibitions of their whole form from head to
tail Certainly have several times seen
whales leap so high out of the water as to be
completely in air.
Darwin, in his journal of Researches,
remarks: "One day of the east coast OF
Terra del Fuego we saw grand sight in
right out Of the water, with the exception OF
their tail-fns; as they fell down sideways,
they splashed the water high up, and the
sound reverberated like distant broadside. -

The men saluted and filed out. Vane was
left alone. He turned, and was about to
seat himself at the table, when, to his sur
prise, he saw figure standing in the win
dow of the room. He looked again-and
saw that it was Lenora. What could have
brought her there he knew not; the truth he
dId not guess. Wondering, be took step
or two in her direction, and was about to
ask her what she wished, when she came

st. George" she said, you must not go
you shall not 60. Tell me you will not;
promise me-"
As she spoke, he thought, for the first
time, Of the verauda; she knew what he was
going to do. He would much rather that
she had not known; but he answered SIM
ply: cit is nv duty, Lenors."
'.Dutv," she repeated with impatience.
''Oh, yes-but do not gol Send someone
else; surely there are plenty of men. Do
not 90, ST. George" She laid her hand
upon the Young mans arm and looked up
into his eyes.
Great Is the power of beauty-though it
be the beauty Of Delilah. 1t could not
make man like Vaue forgetful of his duty,
or shake FOR more than moment his nat
ural resolution. But as he looked down at
the lovely lips which tempted him, he did
not turn at once away. And yet her words

knew Lenora we'll; but be would have chosen
that the girl to whom he gave his love,
though she might part from him in agony
OF mind, would not have had him shirk his
duty in the face OF danger Love might be
dearer to her than life, but honor should be
dearer than either.
He was on the point of speaking, when
there appeared at the window OF the room
another figure. They both looked up, and
saw IT, 1t was Mary Sulland. Her face
Nas very pale, and as she came forward a
close observer might have seen that she was
trembling But her eyes shone with a
strange light, and when she spoke, her
voice, though low, was thrilling in its dis
tinctness Her first words showed that she
had not overheard, or had not understood,
what had already passed between Lenora
and ST. George.
We know where you are going" she
said, with shining eyes. "Lenora shall NOT
be alone in bidding you Godspeed before
Won 20. / have come to do so, too;" and, as
She spoke. she looked as a Spartan maiden
NAV have looked, when she sent her lover
forth TO death or glory.
At the first sound of her voice, Vane
started. Their eyes met, and one might
have thought that some reflection OF the
light in hers had flashed into his own
Without a word be took her hand anc
pressed it to his lips. Then with the sam,
action Of farewell to Lenora, he turned
away, reached the door of the apartment
and WAS gone.

the turning-point of lives-and so it was tt
