The tint of the golden rod is in the evening skies, as well as on the fading swale, The dog fennel and the bitter weed spring up in one’s path, and bowing and bending be fore the east wind, warn us that nature is about to change her coat, and that at this time insidious poi sons find easiest access to the vitals of man, says the Macon Telegraph Yellow, the least attractive of all the colors, is the cardinal tint of fall. Wben fades the bloom of spring* and the green of summer the dying leaves hang over the yel low flag—the signal of distress— even before the first frost congeals the life-giving sap. Then, too, the birds molt, the animala shed their hair, and man if he is not careful, calls the doctor It means that nature is preparing for the shock ot winter, and later tn turn, for the vernal bloom qf a new inspiration of life—a burial and then a resurrection. The sea sons come, and they go to come again. The trees blossom and then cast their leaves to bloom again. The sap rises and then ^falls to rise again. Theye phenomena are the daily pantomime of nature acted out again and again before our eyes, and representing to us the physical and also the psychological states of man. We go down and then we come up. We die back and then spring forth again. So with nature so w*th man, There is peril always with change es'of season and of state. Storms and winds and sudden change* in temperature mark the natural‘con vulsions. Pain, sickness and death lurk for man in these phenomena. At such times the best known rules of health should be practiced. Keep cool, feed lightly, drink pure water, And it is equally as important to care for the higher mental stute; keep cool, feed your mind lightly and drink pure drafts of truth from the spring of life.-—Macon Tele graph.
