Btooks of russet on every hand Like poluted tents of the red man stand, October ! The flail is heard on the farmer's floor, October ! Straw and chaff are thick at the door, October ! The dusty sacks go over the hill, And merrily, merrily whirls the mill, Ootober! Your voloe is a thrush's, a fawn’ your tread, October! A garland of wild flowers is round your head, October ! Your cheek how bonny, your breath how sweet | And the lamps of the forest light your feat, October ! Shake your crisp locks to the life-giving sun, October! Drink of your presses, that laugh as they run, October! For the Ice King lurks in the fleids of snow, To rifle your kingdom and lay you low, October! —Dora R. Goodale in Harper's Young People, WHAT SHE SAW. BY EMMA A OFFER. APPY! Yes! Never had Net- tie Frame looked for such happiness. It was wonderful, incredible Would her mother think 1t too sudden? No, no; not when old about 1t had been long months that had been here with unlia, who, extravagant woman, two summer cottages elsewhere, but who so greatly preferred this big, jolly, lovely hotel on Chiff Isle that she had hither for seasons, bringing her favorite with her. And this summer her fa- vorite niece had met Stanley Mayhew, been loved by him, loved him and promised to be his wife. Nettie sat in the corner of a great, soft sofa in the long parlor, thinking her happy thoughts, Only thre months! but how well they knew each other now! Stanley came down from the city every night, and every Sunday for a day, and her contented teemed with sweet memories—of moon- light strolls on the sandy shore; of quiet hours on a rustic bench on the hill; of erabbing and fishing in his little skiff; of long talks, only bright and friendly at first, then something more; of the moment when he had spoke, and she had yielded her full trust to him; of the blessed two weeks since then. She hed written to she had told her Aunt wondered if she ought not Eleanor Wells Why hadn't she? Eleanor and she were chums and Eleanor was an old friend of Stanley's family in the city, and was the one girl I side herself to whom Stanley pai i any attention. Was she, perhaps, just the least mite jealousof that old friend- ship, and of Stanley's frank admira tion of Eleanor? Was it beesuse of that larking little doubifulness that she had not confided her happiness to Eleanor? Nettie was ashamed of the feeling. Of course he admired a handsome, clever, charming girl. He himself had introduced them, and wanted them to be friends, as they were. It was herself whom he loved. on not that enough for her? Did it nod seem to fill her world with radience? She wonld go and find Eleanor this mirute and tell her. She wonld tell how she siaaost wondered that he had not chosen her instead; and they would lsagh together —probably ery a little-—nnd have a good talk. She must hurry. o'clock now, and he would be down on the eight o'clock boat to-night, he had told her, because he had a little extra work at the office. have time, when she had seen Eleanor, to get into her prettiest gown for him. She rose, smiling and flushing, and went tripping down the long room, humming a gay air. A huge, gilt-framed mirror was at the end of it. in the act of passing it. He had come! There he was, just entering the farther door of the psrior, Eleanor Wells was with him, Nettie stood waiting, her eyes fast ened on the mirror which reflected them. The moment she stood there seomed to her an eternity, Her smile faded, 8 quiver passed over her, and her face took on 4 marble coldness ; for she had seen Stanley Mayhew stoop over Elea- nor Wells-—seen har raise for pretty, graceful head, and seen their lips all It three » she Aut Owned come two entire niece 5 | how nind ther and to her m Julia: she tell meet, Herself they had not seen.
