chant, and by Benito Norela g. Co., firm of
London merchants, and both compliments
have filed affidavts on order OF the arrest of the

equal 10 S4261 is. Both claims are for money
advanced to Anderson on his representation
that be was about TO embark in business in

With winter and shade before.
You crowd In your regal splendor
Through the autumns closing door.
White as the snow that is coming,
Red as the rose that is gone,
Gold as the heart Of the lilies.
Pink as the flush OF the dawn.
Confident, winsome, stately,
You throng in the wane Of the year.
Trooping an army with banners
When the leafess woods are sere,
Sweet in your breath as of spices
From far sea island blown,
Chaste your robes as of vestals
trimming their lamps alone;
Strong are your hearts and sturdy
The life that in root and stem
Smolders and glows till it sparkles
In each flowery diadem.
Nothing Of bloom and odor
Have your peerless legions lost,
Marching in fervid beauty
To challenge the death white frost.
30 to the eye of sorrow
Ye bring a flicker of light;
The check that was wan with illness
Smiles at your faces bright.
The children laugh in greeting,
And the dear old people say,
"Here are the self same darlings
We loved in our own young day."
AS, summer and sun behind you,
Winter and shade before,
You crowd in your regal sItlender
Through the autumn's closing door.
