- AuruMN Glory.

THE AUTUMN GLORY.
oh, the olden, golden glory
With the autumn pomps unturled
MaDtling every hilltop hoary,
Flaming UP and down the world!
Scarlet bouga and crimson creeper,
Burning branch and kindling spire,
Dawn on dayning growing deeper
With tne transitory FIRE!
Morn on morn a radiant shaping
OF a pageantry sublime;
Eve on eve a rapt redraping
OF the tapestries of time!
Not for one this sweeping wonder.
Bloom of beauty-nOt for one,
But for all men dwelling under
The dominion of the sun.
For from some celestial portal
Whence all earthly splendors be,
Comes voice to every mortal:
"Lo, lift up thine eyes, and see"

"All the villages in the wide terri
