 l All day long I've watched the falling 1 Of the sad November rain, l With it's ceaseless, dreary potter I Right against my window-pane. { Leaves in withered heaps are falling That were green and fair in June; l Through the trees the winds are sobbina I Grieving that it fled so soon. I Not bird and not blossom; Il Flowers have faded long ago;
 And his vesper song the robbin | Sings where orange blossoms grow. But in Paradise, November l With it's wailing wind and rain
 Just Received! l e @ One car load of empty barrels and kegs fe cider and wines at reasonable prices. I W. W. LATHROP.
