Oh, the light that lies in a maideD's eyes
As she meets the fervid glance OF her loveEs
Is brighter far than the CLEAN OF the star
That shines in the darkness above her.
And the fee.ing flush OF the maidens blush,
The bloom OF the rose defying,
DER her countenance files as the maiden signs,
Like the dream Of the zephyr dying.
And the power to beguile OF maiden's smile,
And the sound OF her voice so thrilling,
Makes a lover crave TO become her slave,
Her slightest behest fulfilling

The distinctly unpleasant state OF the
atmosphere during the past day or two
has aroused US to the consciousness that
the summer, with its hammock siestas,
its ice cream sOdas, its rides and its
firtations is almost a thing of the past.
Already here and there bit OF wood
bine or maple Is coming out In Its new
fall suit. Every train that pulls into
town bears returning tourists. The
town has been socially dead for a month
or two.
inst now Is the hobbledehoy season
Of the wear, but later the skies will be
the perfection OF blue and the days the
dolce far niente inviting days Of mel
lowed summer.
Human ingenuity is always on the
alert TO imprOvise something new In
the way of entertainment, and 1t seems
hard thing for US all to realize that
the prophet was right when he said
there was nothing new under the sun;
that the thing that hath been shall be,
and that which is hath been. The same
old round OF pleasure has been con-
tinued through ages and generations,
add will be as long as youth Is made TO
bloom upOn the face OF the earth.
Picnics and parties are received with
the same enthusiasm that Is ever &C
corded TO a subject which never grows
tiresOme OF threadbare, and are en-
loved with that never tagging interest
which only youth can feel.
A notable indication Of the approach
of the end OF the summer season is the
crop Of engagement announcements.
The summer girl is closing up her
books, striking a balance and deposit
ing tho profits to her credit.
While the farmers are rubbing their

of action, Busily during the summer he
has been flying Sharpened arrows, and
now he haStenS to count returns. No
fears Of cold snap shadow his path,
frost cannot blight his golden grain, rain
cannot rust his ripened fruit. Already
the harvest is begun and the broadly
stretching fields bear the print Of his
hurrying feet. The swish Of his merry
blade cuts a wide swath The little
blind god is In business up to his ears,
but his face Is wreathed with smiles as
be fills the yawning storehouse. The
summer is almost over, the people are
coming home AMI every face is brighten
ing, while cheerfulnesS reigns supreme.
The vanguard has moved out. the ranks
have opened, and officiating clergy
men" are returning to their fields of la
Dor. II uneasy lies the head that wears
crown, the hand that shows a bright
new wedding band, rests placidly con-
tent, exposed 70 friendly gaze. Gossip
flies wildly back aud forth, and the
coming brides are the subject Of talk
