THE melancholy days are come,
The saddest of the year"

The saddest OF the year"
So the poet wrote. But if the poet had
been around Milton during the past few
weeks, he would have changed his mind
had he been imbued with any spirit of
sestheticism, or sensuOus feeling. The
past days have been anything but melan-
chOly; they have been inspiring. The
scenery is grand at this time, and its
beauty beyond description. The leaves
OF the dOgwood are changing their sum
mer dress of green into carmine; those of
the hickory are putting on their golden
hue, and the pOplar's saffron shade at

berry along the water courses, and bran
ches, are pretty in their variegations of
color, while the shade trees of the town
yet hold on tenaciOusly to their hot wea- !
ther garb. A few frOsts are needed to |
draw out in full relief the coming gran
deur of autumnal beauty. A few weeks. |
or perhaps days hence, and the kaleido- |
scope Will be ever changing; and the ma
ture scenery in and around town will be
like some rich maiden dressing herself
perfunctorilY many times a dav,or when
ever freak or fancy crosses her mind.
1t is said, and truly, "GOd made the
country, man made the town." And
who would not rather live in the coun-
try, than stay in the city? A country
life is beautiful at all seasons, and par
tlcularly IN the autumn. Natures faces
aAe ever changing, and it will be but a
short time when we shall realize with
the poet, that
