To those who prefer any other season
, of the year to summer there is a sense
, of relief to know that autumn has the
boards of the almanac now for three
months, and it's healthful, balmy days
a will inspire new vigor, lite and energy
into every one, which for the past three
! months has been under the stimulating
o influence of either some cool, refresh
o ing drink, or the even more depress
ing effect Of "have to- in order tt
keep suffi cient amount necessary tt
meet the requirements OF the heated
season. Even now the cool, crisI
mornings are most invigsrating;rnake'
q one breathe deeper, gives more elastic
y ity TO the step, and thrills the entir'
system with a feeling so different from
+ tina tired one, SO prevalent during
summer. We gladly welcome autumn
the most delightful and healthful sea
son.

: tied their horse, and got a dirt roac
t ticket the balance of the journey, which
was not very far. We could not a
first diagnose the trouble until w
Q came at it by exclusion, and even nov
may be mistaken. However, it was
g not auto-intoxication, neither could i
q have been auto-toxaemia, as symptom!
o were not observed of either, and a.
C both were seemingly in the best o
r health, and enjoying life to the fulles
extent, and especially b drive, w
rather think it a cas- of auto-facinatio1
