OCTOBER IN VERMONT.

Oh the grand and golden glory OF tho
glad October days,
When a touch of frost is in the morn
ing air
And the wood-crowned heights around
us are all clothed with purple
haze,
And the flaming NAPLES make the val
ley fair
There's melody exquisite in the
rustic of the leaves,
AS the squirrel swiftly skips from tree
to tree.
IT'S a soft and balmy odor that the
southern zephyr breathes
When at sunset 1t comes creeping DER
the lea.
The apple boughs are bending meath
ripe and rosy load.
And the pumpkins CLEAN among the
stocks OF corn.
And the wagons loudly rattle as they
roll DER frozen road,
and the frost hangs in the valley In
the morn.
The crows are holding cawcus and
the robin soon will go.
And hiding in yon thiciet Is timid
little doe
While rifles crack along the mountain
side.
You may sigh for summer sun and
the flowers that bloom in spring.
And may think there's naught so
rare as days of June,
You may dream of fairy fanc!es that
the frost and snow can bring.
When the air is filed with sleighbells'
merry tune.
But all OF these together, though each
may have its dues
VIII not weaken our allegiance, never
fear,
For fairest flowers fade before Octo-
ber's gorgeous hues.
The browning glory OF the gladstone

CURIOUS LAMAS.

SubjectinK Themselves For Years to
Senselcss and Acute Torture.
(Sven Hedn in Iarpers MaGazine.)
Once in Tibet We passed two young
lamas from Khan. They did not walk
like ordinary pilgrims, but literally
measured of the distance with their own
bodies. Lying down full length on thu
ground they would join their hands
over their heads and read a prayer. then
make a mark on the road, arise, join
their hands together again over their
heads. and. muttering n PRAYER take a
few steps forward TO the mark. TO fall
full length once again and repeat the
entire ceremony all the way round the
mountain Performed in this manner
by "prostration," tho Journey took
twenty days. The two lamas We saw
had only done about half the distance,
and they contemplated doing the whole
Journey twice. One Of them WAS to re-
turn after having completed his duty as
pilgrim. The other-he was barely
twenty years old--was TO pass the re-
mainder OF his earthly life in a dark
grotto at that place-a little stone hut
at the fot Of the clifr--was then a lama

knew whence ne came nor what his
name was, and even were one to know
his name II was forbidden to mention Il
before human beings But they told me
that the day he went into the grotto he
was followed In most solemn procession
by all the red monks OF the monastery,
and when all the ceremonies prescribed

the narrow entrance into tho grotto had
been closed up again. We were stand
