Autumn.
‘I'he aster glows the fading leaves beneath,
The golden rod gleams by the hedgerow
brown,
As though the dying Summer in the Frost
King's teeth
Had hurled her gauntlet down,
So when the shades of solemn silence sink
Upon us, and we reach life's latest
reath,
The soul exultant bids, e’en on the grave’s
black brink.
Defiance unto death.
‘We perish not, the mounting spirit towers
in conscious immortality sublime,
And gains, beyond death's feeble, floating
hours,
¥ternal Summer time.

THE END OF A RIVALRY.
{ spent two days of last week at N—,
one of those pretty, thriving, picturesqe
town which dot the magnificent and
bold landscape of Western Pennsylva-
nia, and which are miniature cities in
the energy, progressiveness, education
and eultivation of their inhabitants and
models of advanced municipal regula-
tions. It was a revisit to the place, for
I had lived there for a year several years |
ago, attached to the single newspaper of |
the town, which newspaper has in the
in fact the greatest of the kind which
N— had ever known. Mr. and Miss
Rand came, and were received with cold
politeness by both father and daughter,
The young man Wil fool looking, in-
telligent, and possessed of that kind of
manner which betokens familiarity with
refined and cultivated society. Miss
Rand, his sister, was a charming girl of
twenty, who seemed rather amused at
the manner of Dr. Wood and his daugh-
ter, but said nothing.
Young Rand's only revenge for the
coldness manifested by May was asking
her to dance, which was certainly vexa-
tious, for his tone was so pleasing and
his manner so courteous that she could
not but feel pleased-—when she wanted
to be irate, distant and stately.
They danced together several times,
and, to the astonishment of many
friends of the young lady, of myself in
particular, they went down to supper
the best of friends, laughing and joking
like old acquaintances. Next day, how-
ever, she resumed her original coldness
of manner when the brother and sister
called to pay their respects. She was
simply polite, and no more, and after
two or three words they retired, Miss |
Rand becoming as stiff and formal as |
her new acquaintance, From that day |
May becams restless and discontented,
meantime advanced from a somewhat
uncertain weekly publication to the dig-
y of a daily, with a certain toning |
down of the pictorial advertising col- |
umns. which nothing so much as a half-
Leet circus poster, and a corresponding
wlvance in its news and general reading |
features. 1 found that change, the |
»pitaph of all the years everywhere, had |
been busy with the people here as else- |
were, and one of these changes com- |
eting a romance which was well |
wivanced when I quitted the town in |
1873, enables me to tell the story entire. |
During my residence there my most
utimate friend, and the one whose |
wouse I most frequented, was Doctor

wife, ten years before, bringing with him |
; little daughter May, who, at the
time of which I write, had grown up to |
w the acknowledged beauty of the
town. The house they occupied was an
g-fashioned mansion in the center of
town, which Dr. Wood bad modern- |

eranioms, roses and myrtles. that, with

ITpon the opposite side of the stree
lieve had just been completed, at the
time of which I speak, a row of house
of unusaal imposing appearance, and
which were dignified by the high-sound-
name of ‘Maple Terrace,”’ that
wing the kind of tree which was most
conspicuous by its absence in the imme-
diate locality. They were all to let,
iithough the last finishing touches had
been put on them in the way of paint
d papér, and they wanted nothing
save farpiture and human beings to
sume a civilized appearance.
Calling one; afternoon at the doctor's
house, 1 saw evidences of life in Maple
Ferrace, and upon inquiry of May ascer- |
sed that two of the houses had been |

“Papa is quite pleased,” said she,
wcause you know, he looks upon those
velve houses as twelve new patients.’
But,” sald, ‘‘have you not read the
vertisement, ‘healthy and airy situa-

“Oh, ves,’ smiled May; “*butsickness,

‘Don’t langh,” replied May, gravely;

two physicians in this locality! It’s all

swhemeing young man has seen it, and,
finding no hope of practice elsewhere,
has come here. 1 suppose he is as poor
as arat.’’
At this instant three wagons full of
new furniture stopped in front of Dr,
Nand’s door, and May absolutely turned
pase upon discovering that it was of the
mast elegant description,
“The wrelch has got a young wife

rising, *‘this will never do; they must be

The bell rang at this moment, and the |
servant announced Dr. Rand.
Dr. Wood had no time to make any |
remark ere the young man entered the
room, bowing most politely to the old
gentleman and his daughter, who look-
ed as confused as her father looked sur-
prised. Thé young doctor looked both
handsome and happy--the old doctor
thought, triumphant,
“Pardon me, sir, for disturbing you
at this early hour, but your numerous
calls leave me scant opportumity, My
errand will doubtless surprise you, but
I will be frank and open. I wish to ask
your permission, Dr. Wood, to pay my
addresses to your daughter.”
“To do what, sir?” thundered the old
doctor, in a toweri passion, *‘Are
ou not satisfied with trying to take
rom me from my practice, but that you
must now rob me of my child? I will
never consent to give her to you.”
“But sir,” sald Edmund d, turn-
ing to May, “I have your daughter's
rmission to make this request. I told
of my intentions last night, and she
authorized me to say that she quite ap-

riveted my gaze, Black, sinuous and
slimy, it looked more like a snake than
anything else. As I changed my point
of view the thing changed its aspect.
Its scales were a purplish black, then a
dirty brown. Two little glassy heads in
the monster's head glittered with pris-
matic hues and looked straight into my

During the trying days of Charlie's
illness 1 spent all the time I could spare
by his side, but on account of his ab-
sefice from the office it was necessary
for the remaining two of us to ““double
up,” that is, work twelve hours each,
my watch being from 8 p, m. to 8 a, m.
I came on duty one evening feeling
very bad, The weather was so wari

besides, 1 had spent a considerable part
of the day with Charlie, whose illness
had now reached a critical state and
seemed to show little prospect of im-
provement,
Hence, as you may imagine, 1 was
not at all pleased to find that 1 was
likely to have a busy night of it. A
wreck on the road during the day had
thrown all the regular trains off time,
and besides the usual number of special
freights there was a special passenger
train to leave Linwood, the eastern
terminus of our division, at 11 p. m.
with a large party of excursionists re-
turning from a picnic, For several
