The Beauties of Autumn in Vermont.


II Abll Alie W OptlSlpCh SlhnuaTu.l
These early birds who came to rural
New England for their outings in July
and August, returning a this time miss
the very best that these rugged hills and
charming dales have in store for them:
the glories of brilliant autumn foliage
invigorating autumn atmosphere, grandly
inspiring views of mountains and inter-
wales all clad in gorgeous colorings of the
Creators carnival season. To live is
glorious amid these scenes, when the
langour and discomfort Of oppressive heat
gives way to the vigor and inspiration of
crisp, bracing air and such alluring pleas
ures. Surely Vermont is a delightful re-
treat from the insufferable heat Of brick
walls and paved streets in midsummer
but even more delightful is the autumn
season when nature relaxes her intensity:
the fields are yellow for the harvest;
the white frost crisps the air; the bright
sun tempers the day, and the harvest
moon glorifies the night time. II Is the
time when man thrills with accumulated
Vigor, and rejoices in the glorious en-
vironment which his Creator has fashion
ed for his pleasure.

The Charitable View.
From the Groton Tlmes.l

We will not place the life of w. a.
Lord on exhibition as n terrible ilustra-
ton of intemperance" we will not lay
the blame to our laws or the city Of
Montpelier; we will not rehearse or re-
hash his life scenes for the purpose Of
working up the feelings of a creduous
public. He is mortal his family and
friends are mortal and are entitled to the
sympathy of all good people who have a
mantle of charity for erring humanity.
His life has been pitiable, and we have
no means of knowing how he has strug-
gled and fought against the evil that
has swamped him. He may have been
in the agony of Gethsemane many times.
for our faith in humanity and the love
of God teaches us that the brilliant mind
he possessed did not surrender at once
or without a fearful battle. God pity
WIN Lord! and may he somewhere, some
how, sometime, be forgiven the life he
has led, for we cannot believe otherwise
than that the desire of his life was to
be a manly, God fearing man.
