A STILL DAY IN AUTUMN.

I love to wander through the woodlands hoary,
In the soft gloam of an autumnal day,
When summer gathers up her robes OF glory,
And, like dream of beauty, glides away.
How through each loved familiar path she fingers,
Sereney smiling through the golden mist
Tinting the wild grape with her dewy fingers,
Till the cool emerald turns 10 emethyst.
kndling the faint stars of the hazel, shining
To light the gloom OF Autumn's Wondering
With hoary plumes the clematis entwining.
Where DER the rocks, her witherd garland
falls.
Warm lights are on the sleepy uplands waning
Beneath dark clouds along the horizon rolled
Till the slant sunbeams through their fringes
refining,
Battle all the hills in melancholy gold.
The moist wind breathes Of crisped leaves and
In the damp hollows of the woodland sown,
Mingling the freshness of autumnal flowers
With spicy airs from the cedar alleys blown.
Beside the brook and on the numbered meadow
Where yellow fern-tufts ieck the faded ground,
Wi h yellow lids beneath their palmy shadow,
The gentian mods, in dewy slumbers bound.
Upon these soft fringed lids the bee sits brooding
Like fond lover 10th to say farewell,
Or, with shut wings, through siiken folds lntrud-
ing,
Creeps near her heart his drowsy tale to tell.
The little birds upon the hillside lonely
Fit noiselessly along from spray to spray,
Silent as sweet wandering though, that only
Shows its bright wings and softly glide away.
The scentless flowers, in the warm sunlight
dreaming.
Forget to breathe their fulness of delight
And through the tranced weed soft airs are
streaming,
Still as the dew fall on summer night.
So, in my heart sweet, unwonted feeling
Stirs, like the wind in Oceans hollow shell,
Though all its secret chambers sadly stealing,
Yet finds no words its myrtle charm.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1891-11-05
PORTUG ESE BEGGARS.
Always Ready TO Change Your Money and
Keep Trtf1e for Themselves.

At Braga, few miles from Oporto, is a
temple, dedicated, | believe, 10 the sun
and leading up to its principal entrance
there are 365 steps, says a letter from
Portugal, At each end of a step there IS
generally beggar. Every beggar brides
him or herself ON some horrible deform-
ity, which is exposed So as to present It's
most hideous aspect to the view of the I'M
fortunate pilgrims TO the temple.
Having heard beforehand of this ghast-
~ spectacle, determined not to go be

might almost be SAID to occupy the posi-
ton of money changers to toe general
public Their method of begg ing is pecu-
liar. When tn y espy you approaching
| they begin a long prayer in a vigorous
sing-Soug voice. They start in something
like this style: 1T is in your excellent
honors power to be thankful for your own
riches and mindful of the wants Of others.

and, without examining the piece, gave 1t
20 a trunk possessing only a LIT ann and
an incomplete Uranium. The fragment
set UP an uproar and a crowd collected /

ticuIations, was presented with a 200 refs
piece | thought II was too late then, SO
| bowed and shook niv head. The trunk
showed blessings assisted by the crowd,
and I heard that no more was seen of him
for ten days.
There was one gentleman whose body.
head, and arms were all right, but he was
minus his legs. and he had ingeniously
supplied his deficiency with a pair of cab
wheels On his hands were fixed some
sort Of claps, and he used to canter around,
ladies being his especial prey. He would
hide in an obscure alley-and as Oporto is
nearly all dark alleys he has many lairs
until he marked some unconscious
victim, then of he world 60, and if the
lady took refuge in shop he would wait

since died, leaving lots of money.
In Braga children are bandaged in all
sorts of pastures and subjected to great
torture to enable them to live at ease when
they grow up. Such, among many, is a
man with a 14-stone body, who daily
blesses his parents for providing him with
legs which would have caused Barnum' s
skeleton dude to cry with envy. But
were TO describe the horrors so prepared
the paper on which write would curl up
and revolt.

Cherish Your Girlhood.

Dear girls, don't be so often wishing
you were grown-up women that you will

Be girls while yet; tender, joyous,

hood, with its privileges and power, its
burdens and its trials will come soon
enough On this point, one has said:
''Wait patiently, my children. through
the whole limit of your girlhood. Go not
after womanood; let it come to you. Keep
out of public view. Cultivate refinement
and mOdesty. The cares and responsible
tiles of life will come soon enough. When
they come, you will meet them, trust, as
true women should. But, oh, be not SO
unwise as to throw away your girlhood
Rob not yourself of this beautiful season,
which, wisely spent, will brighten all your
future life"

stretching the unconscious girl fat upon
her back, In quiet, firm voice she said
Sarah has only tainted, aud you must
stand back and give her air Instantly

we're thrown open, the compression about
the chest was removed, and in a few min
utes the young girl was herself again
Who taught you to act so promptIy?' in
quired the teacher, when quiet was restor.
