A Autumn Time.
The autumn winds sigh through the trees.
The brown leaves earthward float.
And I must sew the buttons on
My husband*.* overcoat.
The western sky where elided clouds
Loom up like mountain crags.
Seem to porU nd a pleasant day
To color carpet rags.
The gorgeous beauty ot the days.
With white frosts intervening.
Warns rr.e that little time remains
To <lo my full house cleaning.
The honey bee and butterfly
Bid farewell to the flowers.
While I am scrubbing fly specks off
These dirty wuils of ours.
The squirrel hoards his store of nuts.
The wild bird southward goes.
The children rambling in the woods
Will so< n net 1 winter clothes.
fto as the autumn days go by,
Witn joy and duty teeming.
They brill.; ni«* double happiness
In doing and in dreaming.
And each teach 'thi-* I* - - :i as with to ! !
1 mingle thoughts of heaven.

••The Story of n I’lcturr.**
The abov • was the title of a little inci
dent that made a great impression on n.y
mind. A itortralt was the means
of saving a son.
A lady went to a celebrated artist in
Paris to have a picture taken. She was
w.*aried by constant social exertion and the
desire to conceal a great family trouble
that was momentarily expected to burst
out and be known to tho.-c in h<r social
]■ dtion. She w. s a very beautiful woman
and when in the gay world Wore a smiling
face that hid her heavy heait. but when
she came to sit for in r picture she un
consciously allowed her face to relax and
the mask of pleasantness which she forced
her features to wear for the world was
gone. Three times the artist faithfully
painted he- face on the canvas, to find
tlu he had painted the face of an old
woman, haggard and drawn with jKiin. The
last time he dashed his brush across the
canvas and put it aside, having guessed
at some mental anguish of bis mod I, that
while making su h an unpleasant portrait
had not destroyed the likeness. He nt las®
suggested that she defer the sittings for a
few n.vuths and after a short rest resume
them again.
And now comes the strange part of the
story. The can nf all the lady's trouble
war a wild. d;«s ! p.ited son; he had cause I
ail the caredrawn lines which the un
willing artist bad copied into the mother's
likeness.
Th.s young man. staggering with intoxi
cation one day. had start*-.! for the room
<>f one <>f his cr.mi--. on the floor ab >ve
the art st s studio, lat blunder-1 into the
studio instead. There he saw the face of
his mother above the long, white, shroud
i»«.e blue, which was meant to have also
obliterat’d the fact. The shock is said to
have sobered him. After convincing the
artist of his sincerity, be persuaded him
to be allowed to carry home the disfigured
painting. He hung in on the wall **f his own
room and within a year placed beside it
the picture of the same face with ail the
pain snioothisl out by his own reformation.
Such is the story of a picture. Could those
■who often wring our hearts with anguish
by their misdoings, only be allowed to see
through our faces the agony we endure,
surely they would desist tn their wild
course.
I asked a young ir.nn once, whom 1 knew
was inclined to lie wild and whose mother
was an old friend, though I had not seen
her for years, how th» mother was. I re
numbered h« r as having one of the loveli
est fa«-es I bad ever seen. He reidled that
his mother was very much broken and
there w. re a good many wrinkles in her
fa.-e. I asked him h<w many of those
wrinkles had he placed there. He b*oked
very seriously as he replid: *T fear a
goof many.**
How different a peep into the heart
would make us feel. Pt ;-o many aching
hearts wear smiling faces. Young men
ar.d young girls, are you by your conduct
a'teriug the features cf some dear mother?
If so. pause and think, and before it is
t->o late call the smiles again to that dear
face that you are causing to grow old and
t -oubled. and that should be to you the
ru-jst beautiful face on earth.

THE SfIART SKIRTS
THAT ARE NOW WORN.
New York, November I.—The Paquin is
the very latest model for wide Hare of
skirts, and though it owes its title to the
Parisian house of that name, here is the
true story of its origin.
The Correct Cwt.
At a shop lately opened, the wide jupe Is
Been in its most ideal perfection.

finish at once distinguished those of Pa
quin make.
B-sides this cut, which after all is the
thing, the only additional ornamentation
allowed a Paquin sik'i’t is a. rich silk lin
ing tinted like a pallid cloud, or as gay
as the gayest flower. It may be fashioned
of velvet moire, crepe moire—which is a
new stuff with u mossy bengaline sort of
surface—silk or crepon, but it never owns
the least trimming; but if of cloth, the
seams are strapped or the three front gores
perforated to show u flower tinted lining.
Its I'oust cue t i<ii>.
It begins with the lining, which is in
eight g'lt'-s, ar.d measures—for tall, well
made figures—seven yards and a half
around. Eighteen yards of silk are re
quired for this lining, which is made up
separately from the outside, and fitted as
carefully over the hips as if it were a
bodice. It is crinolined er hair clothed, only
to the knee in front, where it is finished
with a til d' acter, a flat half-inch wire
braid, so flexible it bends tn any way
with the least movement. This wire also
holds it out at tile hern, no trace of which
is ever seen on the outside of the skirt.
\in<iiiiit of Goods Required.
AU this completed the skirt proper, either
eighteen yards of silk or five yards of
tifty-four-inch cloth, i; likewise made
throughout and carefully plastered over
the lining, to which only the narrow turn
over hein is caught, in some eases, two
or three small pleats are arranged at the
back, but in others the fullness is formed

entirely by the flare of the gores, which go
up narrow and flat at the waist. The waist
finishing is the usual cord and bias facing.

One of the most enchanting of the skirts

almost a crime to hhl- . That of the fawn

of the skirt itself were strapped to the
width of eight Inches and ornamented with
nine rows of stitching. The blue cloth was

and side panels, and fell loosely over in
second skirt of bright cherry silk. The
eternal til d - inter held this smartly out at
tiie bottom, and it was besides strengthened
with an out.* ide decoration of bluett sat in
ribbon headed with u flat lialf-inch gilt
braid.
Foi* the I Itrn Fnshionable.
Extremes of fashions are concocted sim
nlv for fore'gn markets—to catch the gulli
ble American dollar prlnctpuily—and though
Parisians may be wearing the same thing,
they have the good sense not to overdo it.
The cloth skirt that flits lightly down the
Bou.evard or trips in peace up the Kuo de In
Paix. measures no more than live yards at
the bottom. If made of silk It may cover a
circle of live yards and a half, and it is
hair clothed instead of crinolined to make it
lighter still, and there is never so much as
an inside foot ruflte.
When made in this way, a cloth skirt of
medium length will require four yards of
51-iiieh material, and from ten to twelve
yards of silk lining.
Os course, there will be huge nieces of
both left over In the cutting, much of which
must bo done on the bias, but LUesn can
always be utilized in helping out the bod
ice.
Beside the Paquin model, there are Worth
skirts, Felix skirts and Doucet skirts. A
Worth skirt of brown cloth was finished
at the bottom in huge scollops, tn it lay
against black and white cheek velvet, a.id
were outlined with brown silk and edged
with mink tails.
A Felix symphony in brown and black
silk, half its full back curiously puffed into
a little tournure and flattened at the sides
in bows and steel buttons.
And last, and most bewitching of nil,
was a Doucet evening skirt of opal gray
moire with green and pink reflections and
with a foot brimming of Russian sable,
headed by a long scurf of white lace, looped
up in garlands.
Each confection is marked by some littl
trii k of cut or trimming distinctive of its
makes.
But the Paquin, the idol of the hour, is
the only skirt that is always severely and
religiously plain. N|NA t’LTCH.

It is time, sav some, to rebel: time to call

A National Year of Jubileea Belter Remedy
Than Entering Into War —Ollier Mut
te>B of au Interesting Nature.
For The Constitution.
It is surprising to find how many people
there are who wou’d welcome a war as a
relief for the hard times—sound them as
you pass around and you will be surprised.
There is entirely too much war talk to
suit Brown. When Mr. Lincoln was elect
ed to the presidency there were fully as
many who thought that confidence would
be restored and mutters would move along
in smooth ruts again without bloodshed
as there are now who believe that every
thing will be regulated amicably. Even in
the campaign for secession a great majori
ty believed that it would bo peaceable and
the stump speakers swore they would drink
all the blood that was spilt. Brown was
one of the fellows who believed that we
would be allowed to go in peace and he
howled for secession. In the event that
there should a war arise from secession
th«se people believed that it would be a
small matter and the smallest man in
Georgia thought he could easily whip
three yankecs. It was the belief that yan
kces could never learn to ride nor shoot
nor march. Things turned out so different
to what Brown expected that it maxes him
quiver to hear any war talk and he has
already begun to anticipate conscript
officers and war times generally.
The south would be peculiarly unfortu
nate in the event of a war. though it were
a foreign war. Os course the negroes
would enlist and be received, and of course
it would give them a share of the glory
if glory there was. Any way, if the United
States were to have a foreign war the
negro would stand very different ev> r after
in the matter of social equality. There are
many reasons why the south should never
agitate a war, but rather we should ail go
to work to find other reliefs. The abolition
party would never have been born had
the freeing of the negro he n the only
incentive. Conditions had grown to be .-uch
in the New England states that relief must
be had for the overburdened people of
that section. The abolition of slavery was
agitated at first for diversion. The opera
tives of the manufacturing states w re
made to believe that slavery would be their
ruin and politicians profited by the agita
tion Gil nothing but a war could settle
the question. The New Englund “goldbugs”
grew fearful of the south as a manufac
turing section with slave labor—at least
they pretended to be fearful and use i it in
their tariff arguments or any other argu
ments to divert the people from real con
ditions. All the time the strain grew worse
and worse, the people grew poorer and
poorer, till slavery must be sacrificed to
give relief. Brown doubts if th ie was
ever a war started except by the "rabble”
upon the genuine questions involved. It
may be wisdom to divert. It may be
statesmanship to lose the peop • in things
too great for them to find their way, but
it would be wiser to find other ways out of
it than war. Tn very o’den times,
they tell me. that there was what
was known as a year of juLi - <_”.
I had forgotten abcut it til! Brown ar.d (
drove Pto church last Sunday while they
"Th<* year of jubilee has come.
The year of jubilee he: come.
Return ye ransomed sinners home.”
Brown thinks that this year of Jubilee
would boa great thing in this day and time.
He tells me about all I know In the matter,
and as he is a pretty close Bible reader
I accept wh it lie sayaas the fact. H seems
that in those days the tension upon brain
and muscles needed relief just ns it. needs
it in this <lay, therefore, every seventh year
was set aside by law - as a year of jubdee.
wherein the people were relieved fr m taxes
or other burdens of govermne if* arid made
to rejoice. In the same conn ■ tion, every
fifty years was set aside as a greater ju li *
year, wherein all indebtedness was wiped
out and everything started n w. Brown
says revive this old custom—it would be
better than war, he thinks, and I can’t help
from contemplating what a rejoicing there
would be just at this time if was a
y< ar of jubilee with us. As it is there is
no relief. From the cradle to the grave it
is str tin. struggle and anxiety, y. ere it
not for the seventh day of re-t. whkh we
have had so far, th*’’ - e would not he a
sane human being. Every busine: a man,
every professional m .n, every workingman
—all of creation—recognize the wisdom, out
side of Christian reverence, in us having
o - ir day of rest—one in every seventh—is
the way Brown enthuses upon til" sub!'ct,
and how happily, he says, we could ail join
in a jubilee year together singing—
“ The year of jub’lte has comei”
But this talk of Brown's is id!e, I Bunpose.
But none ran deny but what som ‘thing
must be done to relieve th- piople. Will it
b> the thing so commo’ ly talked of just
now—war? The south knows the blight of
war and our peculiar condition as regards
the negro should make it. .. p Brio <• duty
of southern whites to cease this talk. This
talk we hear does not nri. - * from any pa
triotic motive —It is simp!;.* selfish greed in
some, in others it is arriving in that condi
tion where any change will ho reeoived as
a relief. It is a public state of mind—grow
ing every day—that would tear down a re
public or overthrow a monarchy, as the case
might bo. Purely th” pc p’o d > mourn and
some sort of change must take place.
Brown nor I do not pla.-e the re.-.mneib !;ty
cf tlifse conditions at the door o f any ; trty
or any class, "it is a g> o.eral looseness. - *
Brown says, “the natural con- - ”e.i”t:< c of
too much ‘progress.' ” He says that the
grandest inv«ntion ever patent'd o' Wash
ington ceases to be grand the very moment
it takes one crust of bread from the poorest
child. Tile grandest intellect that ever
treads our shores ceases to be grand t .e
rrnm nt it drops on<> speck of poison into
our moral code or religious faiths.
Os course, the south must keep up with
the procession in the matter cf presrn ss.
I expect that the New England nianafa
urers .vculd be more sincere now th in they
wi re in the starting of abolitionism were
they to assert that all manufacturing would
be moved south. Then it was to control
voles on tariff issues. Now they really see
the handwriting on the wail. That ’he
south is. growing in manufacturing Interests
is just as sure as it is that we should m*“t
tie new conditions without a sacrifice cf
old traditions or moral standards. To do
inis parents must keep a watchful eye c. r
the youthful who go out from under their
eyes every day. Be sure and know that
your children are working wher • they say
they work and when. Every boy knows how
to play truant at school, how to watch and
go out and return with other scholars, thus
fooling parents. Trie temptation is just as
strong to play truant from work and go and
return with the workers—it is worse in “lay
ing out*’ from work, though, for wages must
show up on paydays Tais is delicate, too
d.-iicnte to mention broadly, but wiiat haa
been said may put some good old-fashioned
parent on guard and save some wayward
boy or girl from a ruin invited by the modes
of modern progress.

New I.unch Cloths.
Lunch c! >ths are shown in a variety Os
new designs this fall. Many of them,
with finger bowl and tumbler doilies to
match, are truly artistic. Pure white cloths
of glistening damask are the most fash
ionable. d
A new cloth shows a border of large
pansies carelessly scattered about the edge.
Th” round tumbler doilic are of fine /Tnen,
with a wreath of small pansies encircling
them, exquisitely embroidered in white silk.
'1 he larger lin rer-bowi doilies are shaped
like a pansy, with the shading of the blos
som outlined in white silk.
Many of the new tray cloths are furn
ished with a ix-alloped edge and th” doilies
have the same border. A damask table
cloth sui'able f>ir a Christmas dinner bt-ars
a clear and artistically arianged design
of hoiiy and holly berries.
