Mrs. Haythorne cried out, ecstatically. For the little tables was covered [ with gifts of red leaves and yellow '' leaves, ana leaves vemeu huh blood; and Mrs. Estcourt was bending over a half-finished wreath she was fastening upon a handsome screen of Bristol board. "Yes, Autumn leaves," she answered, looking up mith a smile as she shook back the thick brown tresses from her pale forehead. 'Do you think any one will buy them ?" Mrs. Ilaythorne shook her head lubiously. "They are beautiful, ITelcn," she >aid; "but I suppose they may be .-lassed with the merely ornamental < irti^les for which there is coinnar-l itively no market" 1 Helen Estcourt sighed. She was a > )a 1 e, lovely .woman, with dewy red ips and eyes full of deep, liquid ights like forest pools; and Mrs. t flaythorne's kindly heart ached for c ler as she gazed. \ "But I will take a pair for my c nantel-piece, Helen," she added, c heerily. "And, perhaps, some \ me else will see them, and leave c m order with me." "Oh, I hope they may," Mrs. c 2stcourt answered, with an eager lush on her cheek; "for I need j noncy so much." And she sighed f sadly as she bent over the radiant a eaves. a ****** ?

I "Hallo!" quoth Mr. Brian Bev- 1 d'h', quite as much surprised as c he little girl herself, "where is the y volf?" "Sir?" faltered Lilian. "Where is the wolf I say?" "There are 110 wolves in these ^ roods, sir," .Lijy answered, quite leriously. "And your're going to see ycur grand-mother, en ?" with a little ? >at of butter and a*" loaf of white 11 jread." "Xo, gir," said Lilian, secretly v Linking the gentleman must be :razy. "I'm getting Autumn eaves for mama." "Oh!" said Mr. Beverly; "] honght you must be Little Red n Hiding-Hood." "I am Lilian Estcourt," said she, lolemnly. jc "Do you know," said the gentle- a nan, lifting one of her sunny ring-11 ets with his linger. "I vvas very lear shooting you? I took yonjc or robin red breast. " v "Lily retreated in some apprelension, eyeing the doyble-barrell-j] :dgun as she did so. "I shouldn't like to be shot,'' jiaid she. < "Probably not," assented Mr. 3everly. "Hallo! you've got the iltle basket full." jv "Yes, quite full," said Lilian, j vitli innocent pride. "Mama will liinIc they are very pretty." "What does she do with them?" iaid Mr. Beverly. "Make fairy Jj jold!" i "Xo, sir," Lilian answered, againjc luzzled. "She makes hand-screen f o sell." It "Oh, that's it, eh ? "Well, I can jf ;ake you where there's a tree with'a eaves as red as if they had been k Dainted in verraillion.

"You don't regard mo in the light of a wolf, then ?" Lilian shook her head as she c skippod along by his side. c "Oh ?" she cried, suddenly, as f they drew near the edge of a steep g ravine, at whose bottom a noisy c stream gurgled over brown, mossy c stones, "what a lovely red vine ? I g can fret some of thobe leaves, I know. "Stop," cric^l Mr. Beverly, sud- a denly, as he noted the almost per- ? pendicular rock whose gray lodges r the scarlet vine hung in wildly graceful festoons; but he was too 1 late. i Little Lilian Estcourtliad sprung ^ forward; her foot slipped on the t deceitful green moss; the vine to which she indistinctively clung gave c svay with a crackling, wrenching sound, and the next instant she ^ had vanished from Brian Bever- ^ ley's terrified vision. r\~i_ - 1 i ?r 1?? a VIIly U J1 lilt!

Mrs. Est 20urt stood with clasped bands ^ ibove her darling. n "If'she should die !" ehe gasped, * scarcely above her breath. "If n heaven should take my little one * from me!" J Poverty, trial, suffering, were all forgotten, and Helen Estcourt only a remembered that she was a mother, n mdthat the shadow of the Valley ? )f Death hung darkly over her *( jhiid. j; It was a Ions and tedious recove- ^ y; but Brian Beverly kept liis Dost at the side of the little bed, 11 ;ireless in his patience, inexhausti- f. lie in his stock of fairy tales and 1 ilfin legends.

L "Well," quoth lie striving to 11] peak unconcernedly, "I am goingL lome to-morrow." "Going!" cried Lily.

It is inseparable ai rom a truly elevated though un-ju anctified mind, for it is a com-'? >ound of the finest and noblest feel- 'p ngs of our nature?of feelings thatjej ire characterized by all that is'g ouching in tenderness and winning'tl 11 benevolence. To the soul it is h vhat the lucid beams of the moon In ire to the pleasing features of na- J (3 ure, which are not essential to their j s< 'vistenne. but which add brilliancy |c o their beauty and sublimity to.tl heir grandeur.?Lanilbriihjc. I it Poverty in Europe. The extreme poverty of the lowir classes in Europe is calculated to ireate discontent; and the vast difference between them and the rich uggests a re-adjustment of the soial relations. Here we have at in or* flip nrrrmnrl nnrl the motivfi of ocialism. The poor are miserable beyond .nything that we of America can conceive. The workingmen, owing o the lowness of their wages, live rom hand to month, feeling themelves fortunate that they can proride for the moment; they do not Iream of laying up anything for the uture. If they lose a day's work, hey are accordingly on the verge >f beggary. In this misery, morc>ver, they have not the consolation ?f poor Americans, who, although hey must begin poor, never expect o remain so long. Isor have they .ny hope that their children ever nil rise out of their condition; for he son conventionally takes up the rade of his father, lives in the same lass of society, and generally in he same town, for a whole decade if generations. With this state of things they exierieuce several very important vils. In the first place, the people an not generally marry. Servants, waiters, coachmen, and persons of hat class, rarely, if ever, think of tiarrying, believing themselves forunate if they can support a single erson. Most mechanics do riot aarry, and those who do, put it off ill late in life, the usual age for noi'rrinff Lai nor frr>m t.WGntv-fivfi to I'"' 'J "*? o*: ,?v ? lnrty years. The sad necessity rhich imposes this delay on many, as given rise to it as a custom for 11. The marriage of the workinglan, when it does occur, generally ntails more misery than comfort; Dr then not only himself, but a rhole family, stands in perpetual 2ar of beggary. This evil, morever, gives rise to a greater. The nmarried, and so all, during their arly manhood, are much giveu to centiousness. The state of misress is the common condition of ervant-girls, poor widows, and ( ften shop-girls, who in this way lone can eke out a subsistence for , hemselves and llieir aged parents, r it may be orphan brothers and isters. A poor young girl in Euope is generally allowed to be uined until proved to be virtuous. Again, the manner of living mong the workingmen is equally eplorable. Their dwellings are he garrets, cellars, and back-buildigs, all of which are small, or else ortioned off into small apartments, irty and unhealthy. Many take p their abode in cabins in the open Cjuare, or along the wider streets, /here they sit during the day, exosing petty articles of merclianise. In Rome, Naples, and other - * i? j. DUthern cities, tney oiten live out f doors altogether, lying about in iie sun, and sleeping at night in lie squares and parks. In Sweden, 'oland, and some other northern ountries, they take up lodgings 'ith the cattle. Those who carry n their own business, as shoemaers, ofteu do all their own work 1 the streets. This is especially so 1 the south. In Naples, for exmple, you can see them arranged < rith their tools along the pavement, om one end of the street to the ther. I have noticed whole squads : f sewing-girls, sometimes with j swing - machines, thus stretched . long the pavements; also, bakers,|i inks, saddlers, cooncrs, copper-1 Tilths, etc., all plying their busi- i ess in the open air, for lack of aeltcr of any kind. The dress and general appearance f this class aye 110 better than their ' wellings. Much of their clothing second-handed apparel that has ecn thrown off by the rich. The eneral characteristic of a poor Irian's dress in Europe is good stuff I I a bad condition. Here we see < ersons literally in rags. In Tliu-L ngia the children often go entire-J r naked ; in Italy the poor children jf iid beggars go nearly so. The:* amnion blouse of the workingmen y II over Europe is what we would ] ill a coarse shirt. They largelyM * " it* 1 x i. .. I car wooden snocs, ana oinu menlet with rags for stockings. 1 The food of this class is likewise i* ac!, and rarely ever sufficient for! loin, there being much suffering! nil weakness from this cause.!, 'hecse takes largely the place of!, icat in Germany, and fat of butter, j! t is not uncommon in the rural 1 rovinces for a man to come home ( fter a hard day's work to a supper i j f unbolted rye-bread and the salti atcr in which herring had beenr ickled. Only those in better cir-j umstances can cat herring. The :ems and leaves of cabbages, turips, and other vegetables, arc eaten jf y tliis class* also, horse-meat,jj lood, entrails, snails, and the like. |f - i , t ti Italy tlicv feed on coarse musn,|; ud arc disqualified for any liardj1 ork whatever. This class do not|( cnerally eat at tables, but "take a[j iecc," as we would say, each one ij ating when he feels like it, or can!, et it. They do not always ent in!J ic house, but may be seen at alii, ours eating in the streets. A chief 1 jason for so much beer and wine- i rinking in Europe is, that with ) me thing of this kind the workinglasses can make out to swallow iioir drv crusts.?Austin Bier lower. < ? I i Old and New for Oclobcr. < Catching Monkeys. Olive Logan, in her latest volume, describes how monkeys are 1 caught. She says: ! "Monkeys are such cunning crea- J tures, one would suppose them much more difficult to catch than j any other wild animals* Pitfalls j will take a lion, and the famished monarch of the desert will, after a 1 few days of starvation, dart into a 1 cage containing food, and thus be i secured. But how are the mon- \ keys cauglit? The ape family re- ' sembles man. Their vices are human. They love liquor, and fall. 1 In Darfour and Saahar, the natives f make fermented beer, of which the monkeys are very fond. Aware of t this, the natives go to the parts of a the forests frequented by the monkeys, and set on the ground cala- f bashes full of the enticing liquor. ) As soon as the monkey sees and ( tastes it, he utters dries of joy that soon attracts his comrades. Then t an orgie begins, and inv a short j timp +Tip Vvpnsta ?l>rnv r?ll flip rlpcrrppn ? of intoxication. Then the negroes appear. The drinkers are too far ( gone to distrust them for larger t species of their own genus. The j negroes take them up, and these immediately begin to weep and cover them with-kisses. "When a] negro takes one by the hand to lead ( him off, the nearest monkey will { cling to the one who thus finds a support, and endeavor to get off . also. Another will grasp at him, { and so 011 until the negro leads a staggering line of ten or a dozen tipsfcy monkeys. When fiually ( brought to the villnge they are ee- 1 curely caged, and gradually sober down, but for two or three days a gradually, diminishing supply of li- J quor is given them, so as to recoil- * cile them by degrees to their state 1 of captivity." Health and Talent. ? It is no 5 exaggeration to say that health is a largo, ingredient in what the world calls talent. A man without it may 1 be a giant in intellect, but his deeds j will be the deeds of a dwarf. On the contary, let him have a quick ^ circulation, a good digestion, tne 1 bulk, thews and sinews of a man, ( and the alacrity, the unthinking confidence inspired by these, and, t though having but a thimblefull of 1 brains, he will either blunder upon success or set failure at defiance. ] It is true, especially in this country, ) that the number of centaurs in ev- * ery community?of men in whom heroic intellects are allied with l bodily constitutions as tough as 1 those of horses?is small; that a i man has reason to think himself well oft in the lottery of life, if he ( draw the T>rize of a healthy stom- i aeh without a mind, or the prize of e a fine intellectwithacrazy stomach, t But of the two, a weak mind in a Herculean frame is better than a ( giant mind in a crazy constitution, i A pound of energy, with an ounce of talent, will achieve greater re- ^ suits than a pound of talent with ^ an ounce of energy. The first requisite to success in life, is to be a good animal. In any of the learned I professions, a vigorous constitution j is equal to at least fifty per cent. ' more brain.

But ? intellect in a weak fiody is "like 1 gold iu a spent swimmer's pocket."
