The maples are aflame : the elms are gold ; The woo ibine leaves are crimson. for the cold NipR at the-n in th? niebt. The blooms are dead, Save a few asters and the dragon head. The corn is bound In, stocks. The pumkins glow Like amber globes. A brood of chickens go 'Ci-oss the brown Adds. cackling like gossips gay, Perchance of all the news ot yesterday. Out twixt the gr -y green leaves the apples peer, Green, russet, golden as the time of year, Or scarlet as the oak : There is not one Buttliosnn au<l clouds have left their mark upon. The air is full ot spicy odors sweet; Whf reVr >ou step the apple trip your feet. T7;> from the brook the mn?hquash 6teals o'nights To feast on apples. And the squirrel lights With noiseless, winged feet upoutbe ground. Tales a quick nibble, then with a s?ift bound Is off.

Aud yonder, coming Yros-s the reedy fen, Is neighbor Strong, who, like the Saxon men We read about is stalwart as a god, Fair hair, rid beaded, and he w^lks the sod Ab lightly as a panther. '"Oh,"cries Kate. " Why hore we are before the orchard gate. Now, Martha, I will teach you how to climb, I've climbed the apple trees many a time." At one swift bound she clasps a uusky hole With litho brown arms. The screoch owl quits his hole To blink at this strange creature with bright curls White teeth, and great blue eyes, who calls, " Now girls !" Then shakes the apple tree with such n good will The scarlet bildwinn rattle down, until The grays seems strewn with tulips. *' Wait,"cries Joe, " You'd spoil the apples if you fervo them so." Child," nays the kray-eyed Martlis, " you forget Good manners; see, your frcck is torn and wet." But Kate slides down tb? trunk, her face aglow. "JOh." cries she, laughing, " let good manners go ! Let me be natural like the birds and bees ! It is so beautilul beneath the trees ! See yonder, across tiie field comes neighbor Strong, It is a pity that his less are long As are a crane's. Why Martha, you are red As any poppy. Something ails your he8d. You'reai^k, I'm snre you sre. Oh, neighbor Strong, How glad I am you chanced to come along, jostnow! Our Martha's face turned all aflume A moment since, just as I spoke your name." " Yon are a tender little sister, Kate, 111 care for Martha, aud you need not whit." Gravely says neighbor Strong, his smilling eyes Enjoying Martha's blushes and Kate's surprise, Off runs shy Kate, as swift as auy doe, To find her fnther and her brother Joe, Who, chattering quickly fills the wagon box With windfalls for the press of Jacob Cox. " I like young Strong," the farmer says; " his wheat And barley crops I'm certain can't be beat." 11 Bo's true as steel," says Joe, "But I Don't like bin1,' break* in Kate; ' I cant tell why," The farrni r laughs, and Joe begins to sing In a soft ten?r voice : " The winter yields to spring." " The winter yields to spring," sings Kate, With alto aweutuess. " Soon or late The winter yields to spring, Soon shall the haws be whi'e as milk, The birch unroll its leaves of silk, Foraowth, I heard a bluebird singing Only yesterday.

Why, how can I tell, I haiu't bem up to town in most a week ; They aint worth much, I've heard from Jonah Peak."Cries Jacob, looking half askance at Joe, While eager wiuds about the wagon go, Stealing the rare perfume, rare and fine, That once to all Olj mpus was the win# Of every youth.

"I wish I could see a real live hero," and Frederetta Floyd closed her richlyboand Tennyson and leaned back in her chair. ' If I had lived ia those days of knightly chivalry, how proudly I should have bent my head to wear the jewel of love bestowed upon me by such as Geraint, Lanoelot of the Lake, Sir Galahad, v . ' but the sighing swains of to-day substitute words for deed's, aud, if tested, would not tuin a finger should it en Z ? danger their precious Jives. Pshaw! it makes me impatient to compare t j them I" aud.she arose from her chair energetically, and walked across the room to the*western window, where the v? mysterious, silent beauty of a Septem* - ber afternoon wrought itself into the m f surrounding landscape. * -?:. - * "And do you thiuk the nineteenth " oentury deficient in heroes?" g? ' She turned quickly at the interroga4 ; . " tion from the reclining form on the * J lounge. She may have felt slightly guilty, for her remarks had been a tacit condemnation of tbat person. But she flashed back, excitedly: " Tes, I do think the present age deficient in heroe?, I am a firm believer ; in good old times." A pair of deep blue eyes looked at her C " "with something of admiration in their itoread depths, and a gentleman with a ; , rather pale but handsome face and a ,* ' slight, elegant figure rose from the sofa * > , ?, and-walked across to her side at the window. She looked almost scornfully at the?it seemed to her?effeminate man beside her. Would he never drop this raffled mien, and do something? she did not cars what?that would betoken energy ? " Well, there is no tue getting cross over it," he said, coollv; "we'll bare to j your hat and walk with me," laying his ! hand on her shoulder half caressingly, j " These rare days will pass all too Boon, and we shall not have enjoyed them 1 thoroughly." Something in his touch shot through i her a little electric thrill. She did not ! know the latent power he held over her; ; dimly shadowed forth ar. yet. it irritated her?when he willed, it xvould control i her. A cu&ual observer would pronounce I her the most positive character of the j two?a pnysiognonusi womu prouuuuuo ; differently. Tuey stepped out into tho golden air, I and walked leisurely to an arbor at the I I foot of the gardeu. He was a friend of J j her brother's, and Freileretta wondered | what Will found in him so attractive. I Only a few days of their vacation remained, and then they would go back to I the city. ! Everett Reynolds had found his i friend's home singularly attractive? 1 made so by the preseuoe of Frederetta, : whose wayward moods he loved to study, | though she knew it not. Her book which she had brought ! along with her lay on her lap. She i 1 threw off her hat on the rustic seat, and j Everett, looking at her with half closed eyes, thought within himself how fair she looked with the checkered sunlight caressing her low brow and bright brown hair, her white dress and pink ribbons investing her with the chatm : trhi.'li bfcomine' dress crives to woman. I " Won't you read to me ?" be asked at length. "You do not admire Tennyson ?"? lifting her lashes to let her eyes rest upon bis face. "You alwajs rate him low when I speak in his favor." "You are mistaken. I do admire him, and I think nothing finer than the "Idyls."' He took the bock, aud began to tnrn the leaves. Frederetta eyed him anxiously; it came to her suddenly that more" was here than met the eye. He passed the book to her open at "Enid." "You like that?" she asked; "the dutiful wife who questioned not her lord's right to command 41 speak not, but obey'"?with a defiant laugh. "You will find her like as rare now adays as the brave knights of the ' Table Hound.'" " You may some time find that neither are as rare as you suppose; but please go on." And she did eo until coming to the insults heaped upon the gentle " Enid" through the jealousy of her husband. She closed the book, saying, angrily, "That poem always proves too much for my patience!" "Ah, but if you want those brave knights of olden times you will have to wink at such exhibitions of their lordly requirements, aud drop your modern ideas. It seems they exacted something in return for their wondrous deeds of chivalry." There was an air of sarcasm, a quizzisal tone that nettled her, bnt she concealed the feeling and said, laughingly, You and I cannot discuss this question without quarreling ; suppose we drop it ?" " And so you are not going to finish 1 Enid ?'" He reached for the closed bx>k. " Do you ever read ' Maud ?'" " Yes ; but why do you like such sentimeutal nonsense?" He turned to it, and read the part commencing? " Come into the garden, Maud. For the black bat, nigUt. has flown." She had never heard him read before, and glad pleasure filled her heart to hear h. r favorite poem so correctly and finely rendered, as he went on? "Ther- has fallen a splendid tear From the passion fl >wer at the gate, Shu i* coding, my dove my dear ; She iu coming, my life, my fate.* Frederetta comprehended that this nan understood more fully than she ihis exquisitely wrought description of the grand passion that sways the world, is the rich mellow voice glided over the stanzas, and a heart-vibration quivered in the words as he ended? ' She in comin?, my own my nweet, Were it ever t-o airy a tread, My heart would hear her. ami beat, Were it earth in un earthly bod. My heart would hear her, and beat, ad it lain for a ceutury dead ; Woul 1 start and tremble under her feot, An 1 blorfcom iu purple and red." "There," he said, "find me a finer piece of sentiment than that. You know the sudden transition the poem makes from this highly wrought ecstacy of passion to the depth of wilil despair. One * catches n mre glimpse of the extremes of happiness and misery in a human soul. But I can never fully describe the feelings which some parts of this 1 poem stir within me." His face was flashed now; she had never seen him moved to this enthusiasm. She did not know that, apart from the inspiration of the poem, the nectar of love had made summer in his veins. Day had mellowed into twilight, which in turn had darkened into cool, dewy night. Calm and pure the moon shed her silvery light upon hushed nature. The home of Frederetta was hushed to repose. The flowers slept with drooping heads under the soothing influence of the goddess of night, from which the odorous kiss of the son should awaken them on the morrow. No sound broke the stillness, save the chirp of the cricket and the occasional note of a nightbird. Just as the clock in the hall strikes the midnight hour, a bright, lurid square of light suddenly flames out in the darkened space where the houses throw their Bhadow. The windows of a large room on the second floor are one broad 6heet of fl*me. Next to the room on firo was the one occupie"! by Everett Reynolds. A premonition of danger, such as often comes to us in peril, awakened him snddenly from hif slumbers, and springing ^rom the bed, he glanced out of the window. Hastily dressing, he rushed into the j i hall, crying: ! "Fire ! tire!" At once all were aroused, and the cus- j tomary wild confusion ensued, the scr- | vants and family rushing about to | ascertain the locality and extent of the 1 j fire. j It wap soon found that no earthly i j power could stay its course. All that! : could be done was to hurry and save the j most valuable articles. Frederettn, in a loose white wrapper j and unbound hair, was with the rest, acting under the calm direction of Ever- ' ett?for even the master of the house j seemed paralyzed and the servants bad 1 ; commenced to carry out the things of j j least valne, with the st range inconsisten- i cv so often displayed in such csbos. The fire gained rapidly, but t-o active l had all been under the direction cf the indolent, careless man, now for the tirfit time showing his superiority, tlw?t nearly everything of value ha'd been removed. They stood gazing sadiy upon the burning mats which shol up red flume to the calm, pure sky, rendering pulo thej moonlight, and defacing the fair land- \ scape with a hideous blot. Suddenly, a slarp, wild cry?a wail of j terror?sounded above the crackling of j ! the flames. " Heavens !" exclaimed Frederetfa, j "Sarali sleeps in the attic. It is she ; j | she will beturned to death !" And she j 1 covered her face with her hands as a 1 white-robed figure appeared at the win- ' dow, shrieking for help, and then sank i from sight. Everett Reynolds began to make pre- { parations to ascend a tall treo that rose i very near the window where the girl ; had fallen. It was blackened by the scorching flames. 41 It will be sure death to attempt to enter," said several voioes. "The roof j is just falling in. You will both lose ! your lives." He naiil nn af-fcpnHnn Vmfr nniol/W no. I F oended the tree until on a level with the window, which Sarah had raised when Bhe bad fonnd out her peril. He vaulted into the room. He almost stumbled ever her insensible form, for the blinding smoke nearly suffocated him. Tongxies of flame were already darting through the roof, and the anxions watchers below hejd their breaths until he reappeared at the window with his burden. He seemed to have the 1 strength of three men and the agility of a cat as with one hand he aided his descent and placed his burden on the as he reeled over insensible. He h the bravery of a lion, had never knoi fear, but his physical strength was r equal to great deeus of daring. T nunsnal exertion brought on a sli fever, through which Frederetta nura bitn. H^r manner toward lnm h changed; she regarded hira with a difF ence which he was not slow to percer " Do yon despise me as you used do ?" he*asked, suddenly, oue evenir as he sat in an easy-chair, supported cushions. ?' Despise you ? 1 don't unaerstanc she said, consciously. " I love you, Frederetta. Will y allow me to tell you so, or are you s1 looking for one of the knights of t Round Table ?'" Their eyes met a moment, and in h< he read his answer. Ho drew her ward him, and pressed his first kiss r on her lips. And so she found 1 hero. FARM, UAKI>E> AXJi UOUSEHOl Nmnll Fruits lor Country Homes.

The homes of ma of our farmers are indeed barren of t choice varieties and species of sm fruits; but the farmer's heart beats kii ly toward those dependent upon ] efforts, and as he becomes more famil with the better varieties, nndapprecia their value for home use, and learns h easily they may be grown, he will p duce them. In fact, our well-to' farmers are, of late, introducing thi comforts quite liberally. Small fruits are a great attraction any place, but no country home is co plete without them in abundance fr June to January. They are not 01 toothsome and healthful, bat are posse ed of great beauty.

The old lat lady would always speak of herself as QB? " baby," and was as delighted and hnppy as a little child when a toy was presented to her.
