"A NOVEMBER EVENING, The autumn night is dark and cold; The wind blows loud; the year grows old; The dead leaves whirl and rustle chill; The cricket's ehirp is long and shrill; The skies that were so soft and warm Mutter and bode of gathering storm, And now within the homes of men The sacred hearth-fires gleam again, And joy and cheer and friendship sweet Within the charmed circle meet. The children watch with new delight The first fire, dancing rely bright, That drives away the dark and cold; And Grace's slender fingers hold A braided fan from Mexico.

ARON Sa. DOCPORED TO DEATH. John Borie sighed. No need had one | to ask why. A glance at the untidy | room revealed the cause, He looked | like a man of pluck, John did, and he | was. His shop had grown into goodly dimensions, for he did most of the | piumping for a large and rapidly grow- ing village, so that he had taken the whole of the little house in which he | commenced life as a married man, for fis business, and moved his fanuly to a little cottage not quite a mile away, The people of Laketown talked of John as a rising man, but they shook their heads at sight or mention of Alice | Borie, is wife. Alice had been a little beauty at eighteen, and that was ten years ago, Now, she was only twenty - eight, but looking more than ten years | older. ; «How do you feel this morning, | desr?’ he asked, as the door opened | from an adjoining room, and Alice came in, her hair uncombed, her soiled morning dress draggmg behind her, | her cheeks white and flabby, her eyes glittering unwholesomely, «I don't know. 1 wish I did,” drawled Alice, in the plaintive voice of one ill nsed by circumstances, “Any pain?” “Why, no, 1 haven't pain, I almost wish I had. There's such a dreadful | skiing. Aunt Milly used so have such turns; & sort of goneness and faintness, ¥ »u know she died of heart disease. “At the age of seventy. Yes, I re member,” replied John, as he shook up the pillow in a large rocking chair, and drew s carpet-cricket under her feet, Shall I send Jeuny in with some vreakfast now?” Alice wr-‘ded her bead. “No, I'll take the wine-bitters,” if you'll pour them out; and please get the iron stuff that Dr. Ford left yestor- day, and a spoon, sod draw the little tutsie up, On, such a languid feeling!” John did as he was desired, “There! now you are comfortable” te smd, “I'll tell Jenuy to look in.

She? sniffed Jenny, who was » very distant cousin, and availed herself of the privileges of relationship, though she was ‘‘the girl.” She had opened the door as John spoke, and now retreated with an angry red in her face. *‘1 wish he could see her eat sometimes. 1f ’twasn't for him, poor soul, I wouldn’s stay and do the work I do for the wages, uot 1.” Then, as she heard the door sbut, she retraced her steps, aud entered the living-room, “| wish you could clear up a little,” said Alice, fretfully.

And my nerves in such a state!” moaned Allce, leaning back upon her pillow, and clos- ing her eyes, ‘If 1 only could get well, and see to things. Nevertheless, she made a comfortable breakfast on toast and coffee, a dozen little eakes that John had brought home pefore, aud a bunch of deli. cious white grapes, Then she soiaced herself with some nerve-bitters, two and a novel, which bore on its back sud sides the marks of many thumbs. * Rattle and dash! the sound of a horn, & flourish on the wide sweep in front of Miss Emily's thungs—" “Emery, child.
