AUTUMN IN THE COUNTRY.

Up in the country, how does it Iook7
Bare trees bending over brook
Masses OF gray cloud piled up together;
Farmers out ploughing in all the fine weather;
Bareheaded children shouting at play
Up in the country today
Up IN the country the long sunset fingers,
Tracing the sky with roseate fingers;
Autumn is painting with russell and brown
Meadow and mountain and hilltop and town.
And washing with rain the summer away,
Up in the country today.
Night-winds are moaning. day-winds are
whirling
Keeping the grasses and dead leaves a-Swirl-

Translucent sunbeams are gliding the hills;
Freshet and shower are swelling the rills
Winter is coming in just the old way,
Up in the country today.

We shall find peace at least.
Old mother earth,
In thy broad bosom blest,
Peace shall be met

Breaks through the gloom:
SAVIOR of bitter tears
Finds not the tomb.
Death binds about the head.
Languid and wet.
Sleepy dull peoples red

With this one solace left,
Fate Is disarmed.
Hate Of her sting bereft,
Malice is charmed.

Hopes star has set?

Queen Victoria counts among her priced
possessions a small library of photograph
albums which form complete pictorial record
of her reign. They are bound in royal blue
morocco with clasps of gold, and are stamped
with the royal crown and monogram These
volumes many of which show signs of con-
slant handling. are arranged in order of
date, and contain photographs of almost every
man or woman of eminence, crowned and un-
crowned, who has come within the sphere of
the Queens personal knowledge.

to Alexandra, Queen Victoria sent to Queen
Louise of Denmark for a photograph OF the

sire to prepare a room for the young bride as
nearly possible like the one she had been
used to. When the message was delivered
there was almost a panic IN the Danish royal
household, for the children, even the eldest
daughter, had divided rooms and beds be-
tween them. However an apartment was
hastily furnished and photographed, and 1t
is by no means impossible that Victoria had
a good laugh when her daughter-in-la be-
