most fully enjoy the beauties of this de-
llghtful month. In the cities an is confu-
sion and hustle preparing for the winter
campaign, but in the woods how differenet:
"October's brush
Hhe scene has cofored; not with those
broad hues
Mixed in his later palate by the frost,
And dashed upon the picture. tin the eye
Aches with the varied splendor, but in
tents
Left by light scattered touches Overhead
There is a blending of cloud, haze and sky;
"A silvery sheet with spaces Of soft hue;
"A trembling veil of gauze is stretched
The shadowy hinsides and dark forest
TANKS:
"a soothing quiet broods upon the air,
And the faint sunshine winks with drow-
siness.
Far sounds melt mellow on the ear: the
The bleat-the -whistle-bGast of
horn
The rattle Of the wagon wheel-the low
The fowler's shot-the twitter of the bird,
And cen the hue of converse from the

pears
AS murmuring In It's sleep. This butterfly
Seems as if 10th to stir, so lazlly
IT hutters by. In fitful starts and stops
The locust sings. The grasshopper breaks
out
in brief harsh strains; amidst its pausing
chirps
The beetle gllstening in its sable mail,
Stow climbs the clover-tops, and cen the
ant
Darts round less eagerly.
What difference marks
The scene from yester-noontide Then the
Showed such rich. tender blue. it seemed
as if
'Twould melt before the sight The gilt
tering clouds
Floaied above, the trees danced glad below
To the fresh wind. The sunshine flashed
on streams,
Spanked on leaves, and laughed on fields
and woods.
All, all was life and motion, as an now
l. sleep and quiet. Nature in her change
Varies each day, as in the world Of man
She moulds the differing features. Yea,
each leaf
Is variant from its fellow Yet her works
Are blended in glorious harmony
For thus God made His earth. Perchance
His breath
Was music when he spoke 1t into life,
Aiding thereby another instrument
To The innumerable choral oTbs
Sending the tribute of their grateful
In ceaseless anthems toward His sacred
throne"
