When the golden rod is blooming and the
leaves turn brown and red, the bull frogs
are ADJOINING and the bats fly overhead
when the mosquitoes cease their rhyming
and the birds to southwark fee, you will find
old possums climbing up the big persimmon
tree. Then your knots of pine are lighted
and the dogs with pleasure howl, till they
scare that poor benighled bird of wisdom
called the owl then regardless of all child
ing to the swamps the dogs run free, and
they find the old 'possums hiding up the big
persimmon tree.

Jennie Lind's judgment of books, though
undirected by anything like training, always
showed independence and penetration
A writer in the Century says that she was
devoted admirer of Carlyle's writings, and
that the last book she read before her death
was Mr. Norton's volumes of the correspond
ence between Carlyle and Emerson. No
doubt her admiration for the great de-
nouncer of shams was largely due to the
intense sincerity of her own character, which
made it impossible for her to tolerate even
those slight deviations from strict truthful
ness which are seldom taken seriously, but
are looked upon as the accepted forms of
good society. One day, many years after
her marriage, when she was staying with a
friend not far from Peterborough, she at
tended service in the cathedral. The dean,
who, probably, without much critical must
cal judgment, thought the singing quite
perfect, was rash enough to ask Der how she
liked the choir. She looked at him with
quiet smile and replied: ooh, Mr.. Dean,
your cathedral is most beautiful"
