No richer gift lias autumn poured From out her lavish horn. Lff other lands exulting glean The apple from the pine, j The orange from its glossy green, The cluster from the vine— We better love the hardy gift Our rugged vales bestow, To cUhpr us xvdjfiu.the worm Uaall drift * Uurliarvost fields with snow. When springtime came with flower and bud, Ard grasses green and young, And merry bob’links in the wood, Libe mad musicians sung. We dropped the seed o’er hill and plain, Beneath the sun o May, And Lightened from our sprouting grain The robber crows away,* All through ,the Liug brigl t days of June Its leaves grew thin and fair, And waved in hot mid-summer’s noon Its soft and yellow hair. And now with autumn’s moonlit eyes, Its harvest time has come, We pluck away the frosted leaves, And bear the treasure home There, richer than the fabled gift, Of gulden showers of old, Fair hands tlie broken grain shall sift, And knead its meal of gold. Let vapid idiers 101 l in silk Around their costly board— Give us the bowl of samp and milk By homespun beauties poured. Wbere’r tlie wide old kitchen hearth Sends up his smoky curls, Who will not thank the kindly earth, And bless our corn-led girls ! Let earth withhold her goodly root, Let mildew bligh' the rye, Give to the worm the orchard’s fruit, The wheat-field to the fly ! But let the good old crop adorn Tli hills our fathers trod; Still 1 -t us for His Golden Corn Send up our thanks to God ! Two sjtre-s*ielaa*cs. Two pictures have i seen in my life real, living pictures that I cannot for get. W hen a little girl, orce playing with a neighbor’s children, I ran around the house and confronted a group that I Lave but to shut my eyes and see again. Our neighbor, a weil-lo'do farmer, hearty and bluff, leaning over his front yard fence, talking with a thin-faced, pooily-clad woman, who nervously twists a coarse white handkerchief in her hands ns she talks, v bile beside her stands a lad pernaps 12 years old,bright eyed. but looking furtively about and digging his bare toes 4 into the warm sand. Back of them all was the jm-.-.t © square farmhouse, with the old lilac trees in lull bloom about the door. As I came upon them, the woman was say ing : “Of course I expect he will have to work, and L think he will be willing a to. I d’d not hear another word for my little playmates came trooping after me. ‘‘That is Polly C —-—said one, “s’ e wants to put out her boy to father this summer.” And we ran off together. But by and by I saw the woman pass down the mad alone ; and as she walked she wiped her e es. In my little heart 1 pitied her, though but little I could fathom her sorrow. I know the lived with the farmer for a time. Plenty of work no doubt he had. Ido not think they were ever re ady unkind to him. But, oh ! I pray my boy may never be pat out to work while a tender lad. Let us have a kind word, a sympa thizing and encouraging word for the working-boys on the farm. Lift us re member they have souls and hearts as well as our own boys. The second picture is this : An old, old man, wi h long, thin, gray hair, standing beside a fence, holding it with trembling hands, as though to keep himself from failing. Beside him a middle-aged woman, dressed in black, with her hand on the old man’s arm, looking with tearful eyes into hi face. My eyes fill with tears as I see them. I cannot bear to look, and I run into the house, for I know the woman in widow’s weeds is telling the old man, her father, that he must go to the almshouse. X kno ? but little about either the man or his daughter. The old man is the relative of uiy landlord. “Uncle,” they call him. And they tell me that once he had quite a little property of his own. 11 is wife died. lie had one son and one daughter. The daughter lived many miles away, was a widow, and worked hard to support herself The son was married, and to him the old man gave up hi? little property, ex peeling to be cared for the rest of his life. God t.ltne knows where the blame lies; but the s<-n and the father quar reled, for tiie old man left and came to his other friends, thinking, childishly, he could yet earn his living. But the winter was coming. There would be no more work the old man could do, and, well, he must go to the aim-house. And this bright October morning, with tire leaves of trees scattering over them as they taik, she is telling him. Poor old man ! he looks as though she had cut him to the heart. I rush into the house to my room, catch up my baby daughter, and cry cut: ‘‘o my Live, how mauy hard things there are in this world 1 God help us ail !” She pats my cheeks with her little hands and coos as il there were no sorrow to come to her.— Thank God ! none never did, fur my lit tle daughter is in Heaven. — Vara in Arthur’s Magazin•. •‘Truth Conquers All Things.” Tlie First Han Who Advertised. Ilis name was Hippoflam. His un cle left him some money, and he started in the grocery and provision business. The canvassers came around there from the daily papers, and said lie had the best location in town, the nicest stock, and all that and thsn went bang at niui for an advertisement He had read in the papers that John Jacob Aster A. T Stewart, John Smith, Daniel Pratt, and hosts of others, had once been poor and had madt l their starfc4>y advertising. ’ lie benevedit all, dough head that he was, aitd he advertised four squares in the Torchlight, six squares in the Bad ger, half a column in the Moonshine, anu slipped a five dollar bill to the re porters and told ’em to say a good word for him. The reporters did, and when the people saw from the advertisements that Hipp flam had started into busi ness with a fresh, large stock, they rushed f> r his store. Then his troubles commenced lie had to hire an extra clerk and a cash boy. He couldn’t find time to sit down on a candle box. thrust his feet upon the stove, and gos sip about’politicsand 'he Louisiana ques tion. Every day or two he had to wri e ■or telegraph for new goods, ordering more coffee, tea, sugar, or spices ; and when the goods came he had to open them and retail them out. As day after day went by, people be gan to notice that Hippoflam was grow ing thin and pale. He looked careworn and harassed, as if driven He kept advertising, and people kept patroniz ing him. Other grocers could get time to go off on excursions, and to sit and tv n for hours at a time, and play checkers and dominoes, but Hi* poflam could nut get an hour to himself, except time to sleep. By an Iby he had to open an account with yet another bank, get more clerks and cash boys; and it came to pass* that he kept a carriage, built a fine house, w re broadcloth, and was elected mayor of the town. Of course a man couldu’t go on in this way many years without breaking down in health, and the day came at las. when Hippoflam had the dyspepsia, thi jaundice, heart disease, rheumatism yn d several other complainf-s. The shadow of death hung over him, whi'e the grocers that hadn’t advertised at all grew fat and portly and had double chins on ’em. They had time to go fishing, were never tired out looking over their bank accounts, and it wasn’t once a year that they had to/irder any thing more tnun a box of herrings Broken down in health, feeling mad at all the world, and finding himself a victim of newspapers, Hippoflam one day drew all his money out of the bank, passed it over to a lunatic asylum, set his store on fire, blew up his mansion with a keg of powder, and then hanged himself to a peaehtree in the back yard. Ihe coroner cut him down, the jury sit on him, and the verdict was : Ad vertising killed him, and we hereby warn ah business men to let his fate be an awful example against patronizing newspapers.— M.

The Troy Press tells an amusing sto ry of the vexatious disappointments which befell a recently married pair.— It reads thus :—“ George W. Pratt, of Pittsford. Monroe county, and his wife were made one just before Christmas, and like most other people started on a wedding trip. Port Henry was their destination, and they reached Saratoga in safety. Here the groom found it necessary to ‘see a man’ just opposite to the depot and he left his blooming bride in the car. He ‘would be back in a minute,’ but while he was looking through the bottom of a tumbler, the traiu started off and left him. The bride continued her journey aloue, while the groom went dashing around Saratoga like a madman to get some body to stop that train and bring back his bride. He finally burst into tears and fell prostrate on the street. Con stable Gilbert volunteered to assist the man in his trouble. A dispatch was sent to Port Henry for the bride. Site, sensible woman that she was, got on the down train to come after her husband. The up and down tiain met at Saratoga. When the former came into the station the bridegroom boarded it and was whirled away northward just as the down train drew up to the station having on board the wife. The situation is now reversed, and Mr. Gilbert felt embar rassed with anew bride on his hands instead of a groom. More dispatches to Port Henry followed. The wife took tho next train north at the same time her husband took the next train south where he was. Half way be* 'ween Saratoga and Port Henry the trains pass, one standing on a siding the other not stopping. At this par ticular point the husband and wife passed ‘unbeknownst’ to each other.— When the groom reached Saratoga he found his wife had left for tlie north on the last train, and ditto wife when she reache i Port Henry. Finally an order was sent to Port henry peremptorily requiring the wife to stay where she was till the husband should come. By obeying this order the two got together at last and everybody was happy, inclu ding Officer Gilbert.” The Yens* we Celebrate. It seems to have escaped the notice of most persons who are smitten with the 1 centennial” fever,thaUhe year 1770 witnessed the advancement of several other important interests beside that oi American liberty. It was. in that year that Cook re-' turned from his voyage around world, liis was the first attempt ever made to aeoouq iish such ati uuderta king by sailing from west to east, in de fiance oi thctr .de winds. In the same year Gatterer’s scheme of a descriptive geography appeared and gave a strung impulse to research its kindred depart— uiout of study. An effort was made in this work to mark out the natural b.-mu daries of the various countries , to group the peculiar features of each country under their proper head ; to trace the courses of the rivers, and promulgate a more distinct notion of the system of water sheds ; and to unite in one com preheusive plan the teachings of Strabo concerning the countries ot the earth, the ethnological investigations oi Tacit us, and Fliney’s discoveries in natural his tory. Ac the same time Thornburg,un daunted by the many dangers which then attended such an undertaking, col lected the materials for compiling a vo cabulary of the same ; Blunenbach is sued his work on ethnology, in which he divided the human ace into live great types whose features are fhmiliar to every school child ol to-day ;'.\he G ulf stream was first systemicaliy exam uned with the aid of the thermometer, and a foundation thus laid for the scien tific study ot ocean currents ; and final ly Laplace, by discovering the attention exerted on a comet by he planet Jupi ter, won for his name an enduing place in the annuls of astronomical research.

Sir Waiter Scott tells of one of his dogs that it one day furiously attacked the baker, and waf with great diiiicuity called off. But as the dog observed the baker coming every day to leave bread for the family he began to regard him in a favorable light,and in time the dog and the b iker became great friends. One day Sir Walter was telinsg somebody how the dog hadattackeu tire baker.an u immediately after he began the story the dog skulked in to the corner of the room turned his face to the wall, hung down his ears tmd lowered his tail, and dis played every sign of being ash jrued of himself. When Sir Waiter ca me to the end of the story, and said. ' ‘But Tray didn’t bite the baker,” the dog turned round iu a moment, jump* and frisked about, and was evidently quite restored to bis own good opinion. 'Jo try the dog Scott repeated the story in a differ ent tone f voice, and iu the midst even oi other conversation ; but it was always the same, Directly he began the Jog crept into the corner, but when he came to “but fray didn’t bite the ba ker,” he always capered back again in triamph.— Correspondence Animal World. Joaquin Miller's St niggle* sli Eugland. Joaquin Miller tells an interviewer an interes ing story regarding his strug gle for recognition in London. When lie arrived there he got lodg-ngs in an attic and began writing little squills and sending them to the papers. “But they never published anything and 1 never got an answer. Well, I tugged along, nut altogether hopelessly, and be gan arranging my poems Mutable for publication in book form, and t > seek : tor a publisher. I worked hard all the forenoon, and in the afternoon walked against a publisher, but always got beat en. Then at night would come home with a heart so heavy and so utterly desolate that I was sure l never could look up again. Time after time I have stood before the melancholy old fireplace with my poems in my hand ready to fling them into the flames, and the re solve on n.y heart to fling myself over a brdge and make a hole in the Thames. But 1 was generally too tired to make the effort to do either, and would go to bed, have a good rest, get up in the morning refreshed and hopeful, only to go over the sam 1 old discouraging round again. I became ter ibly pu died for money, and had to pawn my watch and rings. I scot to my brother to get help but never could get a publisher. No help cauie. I resolved to see my poems in type, and issued fifty copies under the title of the ‘ Pacific Poems,’ issued from the Chiswick Pre-son New Year’s of 1873. Then I sent a copy to the leading newspapers and reviews, and— well l locked the p >ems and ciiticisms in my leathern bag, and received the publisher as courteously as I knew how. 1 had got fame, and thanks to nobody, I have had “my price for work ever s nee. Then the Savage club took me up. I met noble Tom Hood who gave me a letter to Prod Lyckyer, Brother-in-law to Bean Stanley, and he made me at home ki London/ Everybody seemed to want to take me by the hand that they might lead me up higher. From the Savage I was sent to the" Whitefri ar’s, from that to St. Albans, from that to the Garrick, then to the Pre-ltapha lites, then to.the Anthcuasum, and was made an honorary member of all. Then the Songs of the Sierras’ was issued by Longmans & Cos., and everything seem ed in a dizzy whirl. The Man Who Couldn’t he Fool ed. Some years ago the manager of a well regulated theatre somewhere along the lino of the Erie canal engaged a young lady as asu pern urn ary, It so happened that the young lady officiated as a “hand” on board a canal boat, a fact which she was anxious to* conceal. She evinced much anxiety to master the details of her newly chosen profession, and exhibited more than ordinary tal ent. She was duly promoted and in due time became a general favorite with both manager and the public. One night when she was to appear in a fa vorite part, a couple of boatmen found their way into the pit near the foot lights, anxious to see the famous come dienne. The liouse was crowded, and after the subsidence of the applause which greeted her appearance,'one-of the boatmen slapped his companion on the shoulder and exclcimed, lold enough to be heard over half the liouse. “Bill I know that gal!” “Pshaw !” said Bill, “shut up !” “ But I’m sure I do, Bill. It’s Sal Flukins as sure as your’e born. She’s old Flukin’s daughter, that used to run the Injured Polly, and she used to sail with him.” “ Tom !” said Bill, “your’e a fool; and if you don’t stop your infernal clack you’ll get put out. Sal Flukins ! You must know a sight if you think that’s her.” Tom was silenced, but not convinced, lie watched the actress in all her mo tions with intense interest, and ere long broke out again : “ a tell ye, Bill, that’s her ; I know Tis. You just wait; I’ll fix her. Keen your eye on me ” Sure enough he did fix her. Watch ing h]s opportunity when the actress was deeply absorbed in her part, he sang out in a voice which rang through the galleries : ‘‘Low bridge !” From the force of habit the actress instantly and involuntarily ducked her head to avoid the anticipated collision. Down came the house with a perfect thunder of applause at' the “palpable hit,” high above which Tom’s voice could be heard : “Didn't I tell ye, old boy, ’twasher? You couldn’t fool tire.” These old men keep toying wall the female heart.
