In Late Autumn.
Primrose and cowslip have I gathered
here,
Anemone and hiding violet,
When April sang the Spring song of
the year:
Now all is changed ; the Autumn day is
wet
With clouds blown from the West, and
vapors fold
Over the dropping woods and vacant
wold ;
The latest flower of the field is dead ;
The birds that sang to me are mute or
fled,
Save me that like a larsrer berry clings
On me greed holly bush that sings, and
sings
A farewell to the sun that, low and pale,
Lightens a wild sky like a distant fire;
The wind beats on the tree-tops like a
flail,
And »trc ;ws the red leaves in the pools
and mire.
Charles Denys Conway.
ABOUT DOGS-
A dog belonged to a convent in
Trance. 1 vventy-four poor beggars were
daily served with a dinner passed out to
them by means of a lour, or revolving
he x. I here was a bell-rope hanging
beside the opening. Each beggar in
turn rang the bell and received bis
dinner. After a time the cook noticed
that twenty-five dinners were passed
out. A watch was set, and it was dis
covered that after the beggars had each
received his portion and turned away,
this dog would go up and ring the bell
and get a dinner for herself.
The authorities of the convent learn
ing the case, decreed that the dog
should continue to have his dinner for
ringing for it.
Another ease, related by a gentleman
who saw it. A party of huntsmen had
to cross a river, which they did bv
swimming their herses—the pack of
dogs all followed, except a terrier, who
dreaded the plunge. After looking on
for a time with many distressful barks
lie suddenly turned and ran swiftly up
the bank till out of sight. There was a
bridge some distance above. After
awhile the dog came running down the
other side of the river and joined his
comrades.
Another, of a dog belonging to a
grocer in London. A pieman with meat
pies was wont to stop in the street before
the shop, and sell his pies to the passers
by—the dog often standing by and ob
serving the traffic. One day the pieman
gave him a pie. The next day when
the pieman came along, the dog came
out looking expectantly. But the pie
man shaking his head, said no. The do?
turned immediately into the shop, and
contrived to make bis master understand
he wanted a penny. Getting it he
sallied out, carrying it to the pieman, and
received his pie.
I here is one more anecdote worth re
lating, that is not in the books. I heard
it from those admirable gentle-women
of the old school, the Misses R., long
time my neighbors on the Passaic. They
had a carriage dog that commonly ac
com pained them in their drives. Their
course often took them across the liver,
over a bridge some four miles from their
residence. The keeper of the toll-house
had a teg, surly mastiff that always salli
ed out and attacked their dog, which was
no match for him, and
Beaujeu suffered severely; so that atj
leDgtn he declined accompanying then a
it they toook the road up the river to
wards the bridge. The way through
the lawn from their house to the high
road was nearly half a mile. One day
when they came down to the gate, they
found the dog there waiting for them
es soon as he saw them take the up.
river he turned and ran with great speed
back to the house. In a very little while
he returned and overtook the carriage,
accompanied by a very powerful dog
that was ordinarily kept about the house
and grounds, and never went with the
carriage. The two trotted along, side
by side, following the carriage, until they
came to the bridge, when the mastiff
sallied out as usual. The little dog
then held back, and his big comrade
went at the assailant and gave him a
tremendous punishment, evidently to the
little fellow s great satisfaction.
FACTS FORArHE LADIES
I have had my Wheeler & Wilson
Machine almost eight years, and have
never ceased blessing the lucky chance
that brought it to me. Not one cent
has it cost for repairs, and I have broken
but one needle in five and a half years.
The same needle has gone through
“thick and thin,” for since I learned
that it would answer to use fine thread
or siik ior every thing, I never change
inv needle, but use the same one to sew
thick cloth of many folds that I use for
hemming pocket-handkerchiefs.

WHAT DOES REASON SAY?
The little mongoose when bitten by a
deadly serpent resorts to a certain plant,
eats of it, and escapes the effect of the
poison. That is instinct. Human be
ings on the other hand, must depend on
reason and experience in selecting the
means of protecting health aud life
against unwholesome influences. Now
what does reason say on this vital sub
ject. Does it not tell us that to invigor
ate and purify the system is the best
way to protect it against the invisible
poison which generates disease? Surely
it does. The next question is, what
guide shall we follow in choosing a midiei
ual safeguard. Reason replies let your moni
tor be experience. Well, the exeprience
of eighteen years comprised in one un
broken series of satisfactory testimonials
assures us that Ilostctter’s Stomach Bit
ters possess strengthening, regulating
and antiseptic properties which are not
combined in the same happy proportions
in any other preparation extant. This
therefore is the antidote to which reason
bids us resort when our health is impe
rilled either by the malaria which pro
duces epidemic disorders, or by 7 any
other cause, whether inherent and con
stitutional or connected with our habits,
occupations and pursuits.
The venom of a noxious reptile is
scarcely more subtle and dangerous than
that which lurks in foul air and impure
water. To escape the fevers, billious
disorders, disturbances of the bowels, and
other serious maladies produced by these
insalubrious elements, it is absolutely
necessary that the stomach and all the
secretive organs should be, so to speak,
in a robust condition. Upon the amount
of resistance which the vital system can
oppose to the deleterious influences that
assail it, the safety of the health depends,
and it is because the great vegetable
invigoraxt imparts energy and regulari
ty to the most important functions of the
body, that it it can bo recommended and.
guaranteed as an invaluable preventive
medicine. Sept. 3—ts
