Autumn;
The brown fields forget thoir bloom,
Lost in & solemn trance ;
Golden leaves go to their dooJh,
Torn by the winds, perchance.
No more buddings of Jane
Show on the naked stem;
No mere birds, just in tune,
Echo the joy after them;
No more fluttering wings,
Eager to put to the test
Whether, among other things,
Home life or travel were best.
Nowhere now may we find
The white-weed's silvery star;
There's not a rose left to remind
Wherefore the sharp briers are.
Yet where wo miss the clover
The windfalls lie, ripe and red;
And patient eyes may discover
That Summer is sleeping, not dead. .
COURTSHIP AFTER MARRIAGE*
"Now is this what I cull comfort,"
said Madge Harley as she sat down by
her neighbor's fire one evening; "here
you are at your sewing, with the kettle
steaming on the hob, and the tea-things
on the table, expecting every minute to
hear your husband's step, and bee hiB
kind face look in at tho door. Ah 1 if
my husband was but like yours,
Janet."
" He is like mine in many of his
tpavo " enirl Tftr.of tt7 i fYi <1 fimilft otl/1
if you will allow me to apeak plainly, he
would be still more like him it you
took more pains to make him comfortable."
" What do you mean ?" cried Madge;
"our houBeis as clean as your's; I mend
my husband's clothes, and cook his
dinner as carefully as any woman in the
parish, and yet he never stays at home
of an evening, while you sit here by
your oheerful fire night after night as
happy as can be."
" As happy as can be on earth," said
her friend gravely; "yes, and shall I
tell you the secret of it, Madge ?"
"I wish you would," said Madge,
with a deep sigh; " it is misery to live
as I do now."
"Well, then," said Janet, speaking
slowly and distinctly, "I let my husband
see that I love him still, and that
I learn every day to love him more.
Love is the chain that binds him to his
home. The world may call it folly, but
the world is not my lawgiver."
" And do youreally think,"exclaimed
Madge in surprise, " that husbands
care for that sort of thing ?"
"For love, do you mean?" asked
Janet.
" Yes; they don't feel at all as we
do, Janet, and it don't take many years
of married life to make them think
of a wife as a sort of maid-of-allwork."
"A libel, Madge," said Mrs. Matson,
laughing; " I won't allow you to sit
in William's chair and talk so."
"No, because vour husband is different,
and values his wife's love, while
John cares for me only as his housekeeper."
" I don't think that," said Janet, "although
I know that he said to my husband
the other day that courting time
was the happiest of a man's life. Wil
nam reminded mm tnat tnere ib greater
happiness than that, even oh earth, if
men but give their hearts to Christ. I
know John did hot alter his opinion,
but he went away still thinking of his
courting time as a Jby too great to be
exceeded."
" Dear fellow," cried Madge, smiling
through her tears. "I do DelieVe he
was very happy then. I remember I
used to listen for his 6teps as I sat with
my dear mother by the fire, longing for
the happiness of seeing him."
"Just so," said Janet; " do you ever
feel like that now."
Madge hesitated. " Well, no, not
exactly."
" And why not ?"
" O, I don't know," said Madge;
"married people give up that sort of
thing."
" Love, do you mean ?" asked Janet.
" No, but what people call being sentimental,"
said Mrs. Harley.
" Longing to see your husband is a
proper sentiment."
"But some people are ridiculously
foolish before others," reasoned Madge.
"That proves they want sense. I am
not likely to approve of that, as William
would soon tell you: all I want is
that wives Bliould let their husbands
know they aro still loved."
"But men are so vain," said Madge,
"thatit is dangerous to show them much
attention."
Her;friend looked up, "O.Madge,
what are you saving ? Have yon, then,
married with the notion that it is not
good for John to believe you love him?"
"No, but it is not wise to show that
you care too much for them."
"Say / and him ; do not talk of husbands
in general; but of yours in particular,"
"He thinks quite enough of himself
already, I assure you."
"Dear Madge," said Janet, smiling,
"wculd it do you any harm to receive a
little more attention from your hus- 1
band?"
"Of conrso not. I wish he'd try," :
and Mrs. Harley laughed at the idea. '
"Then you don't think enough of 1
yourself already? and nothing would :
make you vain, I suppose?"
Madge colored, and all the more :
when she perceived that William Mat- 1
s:in had como in quietly, and was now 1
s'andincr behind Janet's chair. This 1
of course, put an end to the converse- 1
tion. Madge retired to her own home 1
to think of Janet'swords, and to confess J
secretly that they were wise.
Hours passed b?foro John Harley re- J
turned home. He was a man of good '
abilities, and well to do in the world; '
and having married Madge because he <
t:uly loved her, he had expected to {
Lave a happy home. But partly be- 1
cause he was reserved and sensitive, 1
partly because Madgo feared to make J
liim vain, they had grown very cold to
each other, so cold that John began to ]
think the ale-house a more comfortable
place than his own fireside.
That night the rain foil in torrents, j
the winds howled, and it was not until 1
the midnight hour had arrived that
Harley left the public-house and hastened
toward his cottage. He was wet
through when he at length crossed the
threshold ; he was, as he gruffly muttered,
"used to thatbut he was not
used to the tone and look with which
his wife drew near to welcome him, nor
to find warm clothes by a crackling fire,
and slippers on the hearth j nor to heAr
no reproach for late hours, and neglect,
ind dirty foot-marks as he sat in his
arm-chair. Some change had come to
Madge he was very sure. She wore a
dress he had bought her years ago,
with a neat linen collar round the neck,
and had a cap, trimmed with white ribbons,
on her head.
"You're smart, Madge," he exclaimed
at last, when he had stared at her
for some time in silence. " Who has
been here worth dressing for tonight?"
"No one until you came," said
Madge, half laughing.
" I ? Nonsense} you didn't dress for
we t" cried John.
" You won't believe it, perhaps, but I
did. I have been talking with Mrs.
Matson this evening, and she has given
me some very good advice. So now,
John, what would you like for your
supper ?"
John, who was wont to steal to the
shelf at night and content himself with
anything he could find* thought Madge's
offer too efccelLnt to be refused, and
?. 1. _ 1 1 f -1 1-1
very soou a jarge dowi oi cnocoiaie was
teaming on the table. Then his wife
sat down, for a wonder, by his side and
talked a little, and listened) and looked
S leased, when at last, as if he could not
elp it, he said, " Dear old Madge 1"
That was enough; her elbow somehow
found its way then to the arm of his
great chair, and she sat quietly looking
at the fire. After awhile John spoke
again;
" Madge, dear, do you remember the
old days when we used to sit side by
side in your mother's kitchen ?"
"Yes."
" I was a younger man then, Madge,
and, as they told me, handsome; now
I am growing older, plainer, duller.
Then you?you loved me ; do you love
me still f"
She look id up in his face* and her
eyes answered him. It was like going
back to the old days to feel his arm
around her as her head lay on his shoulder,
and to hear once again the kind
words meant for her ear alone.
She never once asked if this would
make him " vain ; " she knew, as if by
instinct, that it was making him a wiser,
a more thoughtful, more earnest-hearted
man. And when, after a happy silence,
he took down the big Bible, and read a
chapter, as he had been wont to read to
her mother in former titles, she bowed
her head and prayed.

A Yery Snakey Story.
Mr. J. C. Beemer, near Coleville,
Orange -County, N. Y.f while out
" liucklebcrrying ? one day last week,
discovered a worm snake crossing the
road about three feet in length. He assaulted
his snakeship with a billet of
wood, struck two or three blows, when
the reptile began to spread out, crawling
in all directions. Mr. Beemer was
greatly astonished, took a closer view of
his victim, when he discovered that it
yras composed of thousands of little
teptiles, varying in length from an inch
to three inches, about the size of a hair,
all linked in together in such a manner
as to form a complete snake three feet
in length. On being struck with his
club they all became alarmed, and endeavored
to escape, crawling and wiggling
in every direction. Mr. Beemer
concluded to investigate the phenomena,
and accordingly retired a few rods from
the scene of battle, to watch these peculiar
reptiles. In about half an hour
the little snakes had collected en masse
into the condition when first discovered,
when the mass commenced to move with
all the likeness and characteristics of a
black snake, towards a large anthill,
near by. On gaining the object of their
search these seemingly thousands of
little reptiles disbanded and commenced
a furious assault on the occupants of
the little hill, where a spirited battle
was waged against the ants for about
fifteen minutes, for the possession of
the aut-eggs stored therein. The
snakeB came off victorious, and soon
collected again en masse into a greatly
enlarged mass, resembling a large 6nake
as before, but twice its original size,
gorged with ant-eggs.
Wages In Paris.
From an official inquiry set on foot
by the Chamber of Commerce, of Paris,
it appears that there are employed in
the various trades and manufactories of
that city, 467,311 hands, ot wnom about
300,000 are men, 120,000 women, and
47,000 children. Of these, there are
60,000 males, earning from 50 centimes
(10 cents) to 3 francs (60 cents) per day,
211,000 earn from 3j to 6 francs (65
cents to SI 20) per day, and 15,000 from
GJ to 20 francs (SI 30 to S4). Of the
females, 17,200 earn from 50 centimes
(10 cents) to 1 franc 25 centimes to 4
francs (25 to 80) cents); and 700 from 4J
to 10 francs (90 cents to $2). The wageB
of children are from 10 cents to 25 cents
per day. The shoemakers, carpenters,
bricklayers, stonemasons, and painters
are among the 211,000 who receive from
55 cents to 81 20 per day. It' is not to
be wondered, says a correspondent, that
these mechanics come to the United
States whenever they can raise money
?novgh to pay their passage. Our mechanics
at home, by restricting their
awn sons in the privilege of learning
trades, always keep the supply short so
is to provide places for the foreign mechanic
whenever he is ready to come,
rheyall deserve leather medals for their
philanthrophy.
Mrs. Partington thinks that the
grocers ought to hire a music teacher
to teach them the scales correctly.
Footc and Iienftm,
Scene in the U. S. Senate Chaufber. A'
In one of his reminiscences, Hon.
Henry S. Foote gives the following:
" A Bcene occurred in the Senate between
Mr. Benton and myself which I j01
should here briefly explain. In the m
summer of 1850, while Mr. Calhoun's
remains were being transported frohl ^
Washington to South Carolina, but be- ^
fore they had left Washington, Mr.
Benton rose up one morning and made, ^e
as I understood them, some very disre- *
spectful allusions to the illustrious de* ^
ceased. I stepped to the chair of Mr. cu
Butler, Mr. Calhoun's own Senatorial th<
colleague, and urged him to say some- pil
thing in response. He seemed not ex- gu
aetly to ttnaerstahd the import of Mr. po
Benton's words, and therefore responded otl
to him in a very confused and ineffective th<
manner. I rose up to subjoin one or wa
two observations, in a style) as I am Mi
willing to acknowledge, not a little ani- to
mated and indignant. Mr. Benton rose ch
up suddenly from his chair, which was lec
some distance from mine, making at A1
the time a prodigious noise, and ad- m{
vanced rapidly in the direction of. my <jqi
position) which on the outer circle Mi
of seats, not far from the central door hii
| of ihe chamber, and seemed to be aim- da,
I ing to get behind me while I was speak- he
iog, in order to strike me when in this mi
unprotected attitude; I had been les
warnftd by Senator Pratt only a day or tin
two before that he had publicly threat- kn
ened to do me violence in the Senate if on
I ever undertook to allude to him again, ne
and I had deemed it expedient to put on bu
arms for my own defense. I was wear- ed
ing at the nidment a Oolt'a revolver, ex;
which I certainly intended to use should th:
it become necessary. On drawing it, I 1
took a step or two to the right, which M<
carried mo to the central aisle of the frc
Senate. I then turned toward the cen- sei
tral door of the chamber, intending du
certainly if Mr. Benton should pass the tir
corner near my seat and advance a sin- de
gle step down the aisle I was standing ov
in, after having warned him of my in- sh<
tentidn, to tire upon him at once, Conceiving
that in shooting in the direction
of the central door I should be able to
avoid doing injury to any one else ; for J
I undoubtedly did not intend to sue- an
cumb to his violence while in the deoorous
performance of my Senatorial fj
duties. When Mr. Benton saw I was "
armed he paused, and in a second or vie
two allowed Gov. Dodge, the venerable an,
Senator from Wisoonsin, to conduct him 8m
to his chair. Before ho had fairly re- vie
seated himself, Mr. Dickinson, of New it
York, asked me for my pistol, which I de;
willingly handed him. Then it was ba
that Mr. Benton broke out again vo- Ea
ciferously, exclaiming : ' Let the assassin ag
Bhoot I' ;.at the same time theatrically ap
tearing open his vest. I made a short 0f]
explanation of mv conduct to the Sen- ]
ate, after which the affair was referred at
to a special committee, whose report bis
and the evidence annexed thereto oc- na]
cupy one large printed volume, in which far
future generations will find a huge and 8b<
somewhat incongruous mass of facts of fat
a very ludicrous and interesting char- bis

Fostering a Bad Practice; wo
rj
There is a good deal said in censure ^ '
of the custom of jumping off and on the au
cars when in motion. It is righteous o?<
condemnation, but is not consistent ^h
when coming from railroad companies.
If they truly desire a reform they must ow
begin at home, fdf as long as employees ant
will jump on a train when in motion, fat
and persist in doing it as gracefully as J"?
they do, an imitative public will be the au
sufferers. People don't jump on a train vj8
before it stops because they are in a 1
hurry, but because they have seen a an(
brakeman or conductor do it, and have y0,
a terrible dread of being surpassed, gjj.
Now, at the station the other day, caf
Conductor Phillips, of the eastern train, tj1?
after giving the word tp start, waited PTt
until the last car reached him, and then j j
raising one hand to the rail and one j8 ]
foot gently from the earth, he swung j|lt
majestically around, and was at once ^rt
firmly on the car. Mr. Phillips weighs jnf
two hundred pounds, but there was ^er
such grace and poetry in his motion ^ ,
that he seemed to blend with the car.
F>rst there \Vns yellow paiht, and then
gold leaf, and maroon, and Phillips.
There was an elderly person who saw J
Phillips do this, and his eyes glistened a <
with anticipation. He was going 011 tw<
the western train, and when it came ^,j(
along he waited until a fine rate of
speed was gained, and then raising his an<
hand and leg, just as he had seen lat
Phillips do, aud looking carelessly J3n
away ]ust as Phillips did, he reached ba<
out for the rail, and the next instant h*
was trying to push his head through c<-i
the platform planks, and fighting the s<..
air with his heels, and madly pawing \y,
around with his hands, and swearing eff,
and pruying at an awful rate. They ab;
stood him up on his feet and rubbed tin
his heal with some snow, but it was a re?
long while before they could convince ani
him that the locomotive had not ex? ho
ploded. wi1

Perils of Whaling, jec
On the 14th of September, 1872, the
bark Orray Taft, at anchor near Marble ni<
Island, Hudson's Bay, parted her cables vol
and went ashore, landing high and dry, ?jc
in such a position that she cannot be ^rfl
got off. On the 19th of October follow- jns
ing the bark Ansel Gibbs went ashore at gii
the same place, went to pieces, and is a tee
total wreck. The Orray Taft had no oil, bu
but the Ansel Gibbs had 550 barrels of ari
whale oil and 11,000 ponnds of bone,
mont of which was lost. A small '
amount was sayed by the Abbie Brad- ha
ford. No men were lout at the time of tra
the wrecks, but both crews were obliged
to live on the island until the 2d of Augunt
last, and from exposure and the th<
lack of proper food were attacked by frc
scurvy. The winter was fearfully cold, th<
being the most severe for a number of th<
years, so that the natives of the ifcland wc
died by scores, and the wrecked crews W
suffered exceedingly. Ten of the crew he
of the Ansel Gibbs and four of the crew tin
of the Omy Taf t died. up

The Baby Shown to Visitors.
[t is an odd fact no baby ever did
d no baby ever will, behave in com
ny. The mother always bringi
into the parlor where tin
litor is, dressed iii its clean dress
d its father and its aunt*come it
iling at the same time. After th<
|itor has kissed the baby and taker
on her lap, and declared it is th<
arest little thing she ever saw, thf
by's mother and she begin to talk,
ch talks aborit her own babv as fasi
she can rattle, and both talk at onc<
parently without caring what the
ler is saying.
Presently the fatliet winks furiously
the mother, and frowns, and dean
i throat, and makes mysterious sigIs.
The mother snatches up the init
and flies from the room. Whet
j returns the child cries to go to its
her, and no sooner is it settled or
i knee than it betrays an irrsesitibic
irning to go to its aunt, alter wnicr
cries furiously because its mothei
n't take it.
Then the attnt gets a piece of candy
quiet it, and when its hands have ac
ired sufficient stickiness, it reachei
?r and mauls the visitor's bonnet
en its mother tries to show off iti
joraplishments ; but it Utterly refuses
make a display ; it is as stupid as a?
1. It won't say "mamma" or "papa,'
1 it won't show how big it is. Its
her tries to coax it to say "papa,'
t it pays no attention to him. H<
es again and again, getting maddei
the time, and dreadfully afraid the
itor will think his child is dull.
U last he $p*abs the child by the anr
1 shakes it, and jells, "Why don'l
a say Papa, as I tell you ?" Then the
Jd screams like a back-yard full ol
?. The more the mother soothes it,
! louder it gets, till at last the fathei
ilaims, "G'me that brat I" and pickf
up and clashes out of the room, aud
leard spanking it in the entry. Then
