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.

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.
