Coldly and bright draws in the day; Gloomy and drear it steal- away; For slowly now comes up the sun, His summer's ardent labors doune; And low his golden wheel declines Where Winter shows his starry signs. No more to earth the fervid beams Give beauty such as poet dreams; No more descends the glorious ray, The rapture of the summer day. { The sky's deep blue is waxing pale, The sun's inspiring fervors fail; The slanting beam he gives is chill Within the vale and on the hill; And now with many a jealous fold, The clouds would all his cheer withhold, Nor would on plain or height bestow The soothing of his waning glow. The flowers are gone, save those that still, Like friends who cleave to us through ill, Outbrave the bitter wind that blows, And deck their season to its close. The leaves that late were only stirred By gentlest breath, that only heard The song-bird's note, round these the blast Blows keen aad fierce, and rude and fast The rising gale flings far and wide Their withered bloom and idle pride. The birds have fled; the wind alone Makes song in many a sullen tone. But sudden through the bursting sky The sun again comes out on high; The clouds fall back to vield him way. And fly before his eager ray; And gladness fIll t.e kreast argain The glimpse of summer come again i Ah! sweet the beam, but like the smile With which the dying would beguile The mourning heart-the last sad ray Love gives to cheer our tears away. The light is gone, the moment's bloom is sunk again in cold and gloom. So pass away all things of earth, Whate'er we prize of love and worth The form once dear; the voice that cheered; The friends by many a tie endeared; The dreams the aching heart forgets; The hopes that fade in cold regrets. Sweet scenes, dear haunts, that once I knew My heart yet fondly turns to you. Let seasons chan,,e and be ye bright With all the summer-tide's delight, Or let the winter's gloom be yours, Your beauty still for rpe endures; For memory keeps unfaded yet What Love would have me not forget. -Chambers' Journal. When the doctors recommended six weeks at Saratoga to iReuben Russet, they possibly didn't think of .Pennie Joyce. Doctors are apt to be men of one idea. Mr. Russet's digestive apparatus was certainly out of order; but little Miss Joyce's heart-tbat was quite another thing. Mr. Russet was a young the ological student, with palo brown hair, an intellectual faice, and a slight stoop in the shoulders Pennie Joyce was a farmer's rose cheeked dJaughter, the eldest of a large family of ebildren, and one of those thrifty girls who under stand the whole theory and prac tice of housekeeping from Alpha to Omega. To become a minis ter's wife wa.s a visible promotion to her, and she exulted ini it, in her quiet way. But to be separated from him for six whole weeks that was a trial. 'The time will soon pass, my love,' said Reuben, in the slightly p)atronlizinlg manner which he affected toward Pen nie. 'Yes, I know it will, dear,' said Pennie, valiantly trying to smile. 'And I shall write every day.' 'That will be so good of you !' said Pennie. 'And really, you know, Pennic, a man whose mission is to reach the soul ought to have a little knowledge of human nature.' 'Yes, of course,' assented the girl. 'And where can one obtain it so well as at one of these great human hives where the fashion able world congregates ?' 'To be sure !' said Pennie. 'I only wish you were going,' he added, affectionately. Pennie sighed softly. 'Of course that is out of the question,' said sbo. Farmer Joyce shook his head w-hen he beard the dictum of the medical man. 'Saratogy, in deed !' said he. '1 don't believe Saratogy is a bit better than our spring down by the maple grove. I'd venture Reub Russet2d be niell enough if he'd go out and weed onions half' au hour every morning ; and be Ssides, I've heerd there's a lot of temptation at a place like Sara tuoy 'I dare say,' said Pennie, wil mild tperiority, 'for some peopl But Reuben is above that sort thing.' 'Humph !' said Farmer Jove 'I ain't so sure of that.' 'Father, how can you?' cri< the indignant girl, bristling u like a ben-canary. 'Human natur' is human natu vheLhor it's at Saratogy or an other place,' stoutly mainttin the farmer. Mr. Russet wont to Saratog and took rooms at a fasbionab boarding-house, near the Hathor spring. He walked up and dow the elm-shaded paths with two lii tie devotional books, of a morninz listened to the band, and studie out telling sentences for possib[ sermons, in the afternoon, an edged himself modestly into th glittering ball-rooms of the mor ster hotels at night, when the Gei man was in full career. 'Merely to study my fellow-creo tures!' said Mr. Russet, as he at justed his eye-glasses. 'Such a delightful study !' sai Miss Gushington Gordon, wh blazed with jewels, and wore long trained skirts, such as Mr. Russe never bad beheld at Raspberr Vale. Miss Gushington Gordon ha( the best rooms at the house, th largest wardrobe, and the mos brilliant necklaces. Rumor calle< her a great heiress, and Mr. Rus set found her very agreeable. She had big, purple-blue eyes hair of the real Roman gold, i complexion which was undeniabl) a work of art, and a soft, langui< voice, whose syllables droppe< from her lips like globules of sil ver. 'Life is such a vacuum!' said Misi Gushington Gordon. 'My experience exactly!' said the young theological student who was fast losing his head. 'At least.' corrected the beauty' 'I have always founld it so unti now. But y-our grand grasp 0 subjects, your reading of the hool of existence has somehow awak ened me to a new sense of things. Mr. Russet grew red to th< very roots of his hair, with a pleasurable tingling. '1 am but too proud,' he stain mered, 'if I have succeeded in un raveling any problem which-' 'Oh!' cried Miss Gushingtor Gordon, 'have I said too much Pray, pray forgive my impulsivc ness! I am the creature of emoh tion!' She put out a little, sparkling hand withb bewitching frankness t the spectacled studen t. Mr. Russei gave it a gentle pressure, and for got to drop it again. That was the first day that b( omitted to write to little Penelope Joyce, at the red farmhouse it Raspberry Vale. 'She won't be so foolish as t< expect a letter by every mail,' b said, a little impatiently. At the end of the six weeks h< came home. Pennie met him al the railway station, with her dim pled lips put up for a kiss. 'I may as well tell you, at once Pennie-' he began. But just then iDeacon Obern< came up, with that vise-like hand grip of his, and there was n< chance to say more until the5 parted at the cross-roads by th mill. 'Perhaps it is just as well,' saic the theological student, to him self. 'I'll write to her that 1 hav< changed my mind, and engagec myself to Antoinette Gushingtor Gordon. 1 ought to have writter from Saratoga, but one dreads t< send such a letter.' Mr. Russet felt as if he had be ayed very like a scoundrel, nowi that he was removed from tb< manetic influence of the heiresi and her jewels. 'But of course,' be pleaded. be fore the tribunal of his own con science, 'a man devoted to my pro fssion should select the sphere it which he can do the most good And with Antoinette's wealth anc position, I am morally certain o rapid advance in the world.' But, somehow, the letter woul< not get itself written. To do1: contemptible action, is one thing~ t.o confess it boldly to one's fellov I. Two or three days passed, ai' e. still Reuben Russet could no of bring himself to tell Pennic Joyc about the Saratoga heiress, witl e. the purple-blue eyes and the low silver.syllabled voice. d Penie watched him, wistfully p 'Ho is changed,' she admitter to herself; 'but of course I couh r' hardly expect him always to b-i y just the same. Only-only-' d And the tears came into Pen nie's eyes, she scarcely knew why a and she blamed herself for bein, e 'such a foolish little goose.' n But one sultry evening, Mr n ' Russet did force himself to writ( L- the letter-a vague, mysteriouw , sort of missive containing only d one plain fact-that he was en e gaged to Miss Gushingtou Gor d don. e And, as he wrote it, he fell i- more and more what a fatal mis take he bad made in giving uo Pennie Joyce's true, womanly t- heart for the artificial smiles of l-' the Saratoga belle. As he folded and sealed it, the I landlady's little boy handed in o the evening mail-two papers and a letter. t A letter from one Ernest Val r dez, whose acquaintance be bad made at Sarataga--an idle, good. I humored young follow, with no 3 harm in him, and a deal of latent t good. I Mr. Valdez wrote "-'We are all progressing much the same as ever. We drink the waters, we criticise the music, we L watch for the incoming trains. By the way., you surely haven't I forgotten that tall girl at your I house, with the curious pansy colored eyes and the magnificent ly-dyed hair ? Miss Gushingtor Gordon, you know? Well, she has turned out a humbug-an im position-a stupendous fraud. It seems she is oniy a lady's-maid. the whole time, and she has been skilifully masquerading in her mistress' wardrobe, during that lady's absence at the siek-bed of a dying relation. 'Mrs. Montagrue has come back; the 'daw inl borr'owed fe'athers' has been stripped of her gay plu mage, and Miss Gushington Gor Idon, with her imiitatio'n diamonds, and second-hand airs and graces has disappeared entirely from the arena. 'Some say she has been arrested ; others declare that Mrs. Montague has forgiven her, ou condition of her retiring to her native p)lace, in an obscure English town. At all events, she has vanished from the stage of action, and the places that knew her once now know her no more.' Three or four esoselywritten pages of gossip and clever satire followed, but Reuben Russet never paused to glance at these. He sprang from his chair with an exclamation of relief. 'Thbank Providence !' he exclaim ed, 'that I am no longer bound to that false-hearted, hollow pre tender! Little Pennie is worth ten thousand of her.' He tore up the letter of con fession, and went straight to spend the evening at the Joyce farmhouse, and innocent little Pennie never knew how nearly that season at Saratoga had cost her fler lover. As for Reuben Russet, he is a wiser if not a sadder man. And he wants no more lessons in hu man nature. A PooR.

The subject sclected by sev eral publishers for Sunday schoo lessons for September 25, is thi popular subject of. Temperance we may, therefore, not iinappro priately till our Su:lday school coi u nn with someth ing about tem perance in the Sunday school. While Sunday school instrue tion should be directed to th thorough and symmetrical devdl opment of the h ghcst type o manhood and womanhood, anC must, therefore, .mbrace all sub jects bearing upon such develop ment, it must never be forgottet that the Sunday school is not gymnasium for the training o cultivated ladies and gentlemen nor a school of morals foi the pro duction of a high style of inora charactei, but that its great airr is to save souls through the pre sentation of gospel truth. Politc manners ard high moral qualities must therefore be enjoined in Sunday school teaching. from a gospel point of view. And the truth should be recognized and emphasized that to attain to thc full statue of a rnan and a gentle. man one must be a christian. The Sunday school is, therefore, nc place in which to inculcate les sons of temperance or of any other moral quality, from purely social or political or economic considerations. Nor has any one idea, fanatical reformer the right to use the Sunday school as the arena in which to display his en thusiasm and ability in pressing the claims of his pet subject ; nor should any one be permiitcd to thrust such a sub.jeet into undue import.ance, to the neglect ol otbers. But on the other1 hand, no Sun day school in which this subject is ignored or neglected is doing its full work and coming up prop. erly to the demands of the times. After all, there is nothing as a safe-gua rd against the evils of intemperance comnparable with the education of public sentiment. Se cret oath-bound societies, ine briate-asylums and prohibitory laws are all powerless without this. You may bind a man with oaths as awful as hell, and as true as heaven, you may lock him up in an inebriate asylum, you may brand him and punish him as a criminal against the laws 01 the land, but none of these things can giv'e to him an en light ened reason or a pure and rugged moral character. Trbese qualities cani be secured only by the use of proper influence and thorough training. Arid these can be up plied at no time so effectively as in youth, and through no channel more appropriately than the Sun day school. The stereotyped Sunday school speeb has in formed us several times, that the Sunday school is the nursery of the church, and the young are the hope of the country. The easiest and surest way, then, to have sober men in the church and in the country is to catch them while they are young and train them in the Sunday school. Seize the boys before their babits are crystalized and their characters formed, and imbed in their plastic minds and hearts the pure and powcrful principles of morality taught in the Newv Testament. Dropping all cant and farnaticism on this subject, let every Sunday school teacher aim at the devel opment of such manly and beroic moral power and the cultivation of such implicit relian':e upon Christ, in those committed to his care, as shall secure them against the temlptationi to intemperance with whieb they may have to contend. Tio the I)atiet', faithfuil. prayerful discharge of our duty in this direction we are called by every consideration of' philan trophy,- of patriotism, and of pure religlon.

There are a great number <' people wh.to behave well othe - wise, but at the table they do things that, if not a bsoluteiy . outre and einsemb le are at least pianissimo and sine die. It is with a view to elevating the popular taste, and etherealiz itg, so to speak, the manners ant customs of our readers, that we give below a few hints on tabl etiquette: If by writing an article of this kind we can induce one man who now wipes his hands on the table cloth to come up and take higher ground and wipe them on hi 1 pauts, we Shall feel amply repaid. If you cannot accept an invita tion to dinner do not write your regards on the bock of a pool check with a blue pencil. This is I not~ regarded as ricochet. A simple note to your host in forming him that your washer l woman refuses to relent is suffi cient. On seating yourself at the table draw off your gloves and put then, in your lap under your napkin. Do I not put them in the gravy, as it would ruin the gloves and east a t gloom over the gravy. If you have just cleaned your gloves with t benzine you leave them out in the front yard. t If you happen to drop gravy on I your knife blade, back near the r handle, do not runt the blade duwn 1 your throat to remove the gravy, as it might injure your epigiotis, and it is not considered embon point anyway. When you are at dinner do not t take up a rw oyster on your fork c and playfuliy ask your host if it is % dead. Remarks about death at c dinner are in very poor taste. Pears should be held by the I stems and peeled gently but firm- t ly, not as t1hourh you were skin t ning a dead horse. It is not bon t ton. I: Oranges are held on a fork I Iwhile being~ peeled. and the face-- e tious style of squirting the juice I into the eye of your hostess is t now au revoir. , Stones in cherries or other t fruit should not be placed upon r the tablecloth, but slid quietly o and nnostentat:ously into the t pocket of your neighbor or noises lessly tossed under the table. If you strike a worm in your r fruit do not call attention to it by P Imashing it with the nnt cracker. " Trhis is not only uncount, but it is a regarded in the best society as a blase and excecdingly vice versa. t Macaroni should be cut into ~ short pieces and eaten with an 'o even gra ceful motion, not absorbed a by the yard. - in drinking~ wine, when you get h to the bottom of your glass do not "i throw your head back and draw b in your breath like the exhaust of a a bath tub in order to get the last *' drop, as it engenders a feeling of lP the most depressing melancholy si among the guests. After eating a considerable c amount do not rise and unbuckle your vest strap in order to get more room, as it is exceedingly au fait and deshabille. If by mistake you drink out of t your finger bowl, laugh heartily b and make some facetious remarkX which will change tbe co -rse of a conversation and renew the triend ly feeling among the members of t the party. b Ladies should take but one r glass of wine at dinner. Other wise there might be difficulty in S steeringr the male portion of the procession home. If one of' the gentlemen should Ii drop a raw oyst:: into his bosom Si and should have tLJuble in fishing it out. do not make faceetious re marks about it, but assist him to find it, laughing beairtily all the tim e.-Larai e Boomterang.

Trhe disk of the moon, as is very apjparenit. is not of uniform bright ness, but is diversified by dark areas here and there. These dark areas are so arranged as to repre sent the eves. nose and mouth of a. human being, and the whole Jisk represents, p assabiy well, a human face. Not all people, how ,ver, can see this resemblance. iomne who cannot see the face can ;ee a mani and a woman carrying )etween them a bucket of~ water. the man stands on the left side of ,he disk, the woman on the right. 1'o some the dark spaces appear :o have the same shape as -North Lnd South America, as if the Western Continent was reflected a the moon.
