A September Violet,
For days the peaks wore hoods of cloud,
The & apes were velled in ebilly rain;
We sald: It is the summer's shroud,
And with the brooks we moaned aloud,—
Will sunshine never come again?
At last the west wind brought us one
Serene, warm, cloudless, crystal day,
As though Beptember, having blown
A blast of tempest, now had thrown
A gauntlet to the favored May.
Backward to Spring our fancies flow,
And, careless of the course of time,
The bloomy days began anew,
Then, as a happy dream comes true,
Or as a poet finds his rhyme
Half wondered at, half unbelieved—
1 found thee, friendliest of the flowers!
Then green-
Jeaved
And its doomed dead, awhile reprived,
they were ours,
Summer's joys came back

Dear violet! Did the Autumn bring
Thee vernal dreams, till thou, like me,
Didst climb to thy imagining?
Did come again, in search of thee?

It grated on Harker’s feelings to
notice that Fipkins in some sort looked
upon the union as a sacrifice.
“There are property considerations,”
he said several times in a naudlin sort
