AUTUMN.
The beautiful summer days are past,
With their bright and, lovely flowers j
We no more hear the robin's chirp,
Nor seek the shady bowers.
But lovlicr far than Summer's reign,
Or even May'g sweet treasure,
Is the Aiitumo, as Its fruit It brlugs
In loads of fullest measure.
Resplendent views now greet the eye
On every hill and mountain j
And a song for the Autumn green Is sung
By every stream and fountain.
What luscious fruits it ever brings
Its apples, pears, and peaches,
It always strews like golden ore
For litem my taste now reaches
Then hail to the Autumn ! lovllcst queen I
She rules with smiles and gladncBB ;
Her realm is robed in gorgeous hues,
And naught on earth knows sadness.

Blushing.
"VYHAT is there more mysterious
J T than a blush, that a single word,
or look, or thought, should send that in
imitable carnation over the cheek liko
tho soft tints of a summer sunset. Strange
is it also thut the face only and that
tho human face is capable of blushing ;
that the hand or foot docs not turn red
from modesty or shame, any more than
the sock or glove that covers them. It is
the face that bears the angel's impress ;
it is tho face that is Heaven. The blush
of modesty tinted woman's face when
she first awoke in Edeu's sunny land, and
still lingers with her pure daughters.
They caught it from tho rose, for nil tho
roses first were white; but when Evo
plucked one of the buds, seeing her own
fair face, more fair than the flowers,
blushed and casts its reflex on her velvet
cheek. The face is the tablet of the soul,
whereou it writes its actions. There
may be traced till the intellectual phe
nomena, with a confidence amounting to
a moral certainty. If innocence and pu
rity look outward from within, none tho
less do vice, intemperance, and debauchery
make their indelliblo impressions on it.
Idiocy, rage, cowardice, passion, all leave
their traces deeper than the virtues of
modesty, truth, chastity and hope. Even
beauty itself grows more beautiful from
the pure thoughts that arise within it.
' tSrOn a certain Sabbath eveniug,
some tweuty-five years ago, a reckless, ill
dressed young man was idly lounging
under the elm trees in tho public squaro
of Worcester. lie had becomo a wretched
waif on tho current of sin. His days
wore spent in tho waking remorso of a
drunkard ; his nighta were passed in the
buttooneries ot tho ale houso.
As he sauntered along, out of humor
with lumselt and all mankind, a stranger
laid his hand upon his shoulder, and in
cordial tones said : " Mr. Gough go down
to our meeting at tho town-hall to-night."
A brief conversation followed' so winning
in its character that tho reckless youth
cousontod to go. lie went ; he heard the
appeals there made. With tremulous
hands he signed tho pledge of Total Ab
stinence. (By God's help, ho kept it, and
he keeps it yet. ' Tho poor boot-crimper,
who tapped him on the shoulder (good
Joo Strutton) has lately gone to heaven,
but the youth he saved is to-day the fore
most of tho reformers on the faco of tho
globe. Sometimes when I listen to the
thunders of applause that greet John B.
Gough on the plutform of Exeter Hall
or tho Academy of Music, it seems to ma,
I am heariug the echo of that tap on tho
shoulder, and of that kind invitation
under tho ancient elms of .Worcester,
" Ho that winneth souls is wise."
Distance Lends Enchantment.
WHO originated this expression I
know not, but a truer Baying
never emanated from tho mind of man.
It applies not only to space, but to time, to
the past and to the future. Iq looking
at a range of mountains in the distance,
you do not sco the difficulties of ascent ;
you eo tho ups and downs, tho blue
peaks rising here and there, the valleys
between, but all looks smooth and easy.
It is only by a near approach that we find
the jagged peak, tho frightful precipice,
the darksome cavern. Even the valley
so lovely, in the distance, may be a loath
some swamp. The thirsty traveler in the
desertseesiu the distance the long-sought-for
water beautiful lakes with lovely
islands dotting their surface rivers of
pellucid waters gliding gently along, on
whose banks grow the lofty palm, hastens
on, to find tho lovely lakes and rivers
changed to sand the same weary burn
ing sand ho trod before. Perhaps he
sees rivers in the distance yet, and keeps
on and on till he drops from exhaustion.
So with us. In youth we look forward
to the realities of life, and distance covers
them with such rose-colored tints that we
build castles in anticipation, and never
doubt their reality. It is only as we grow
to manhood that we find the precipice,
the caverns, tho swamps : that the centle
eminenco we saw in the distance is of
fearful height, the climbing of which may
take years of toil, and the beautiful lakes
and rivers of youth are nothing but sand.
How many there are who sink in the
swamp of blighted hopes who chase the
mirage of happiness iu the desert till
they die !
But climb, climb the mountains, ye
adventurous ; you may not reach tho top,
but you will not sink. Dig dig in' the
desert, and if you go deep enough you
will surely find water: and after a toilinsr,
useful life, when old age comes creeping
on, distance will lend its charms to cover
up tho rough spots of life, and as you
look back the mountains will agaiu ap
pear smootli and pleasant. While the
streets of the golden city will grow the
more beautiful as you draw near to
them.
Scenes in Japan.
A STREET called the Tokedia is tho
Broadway of Yeddo. It is twenty
miles long and is crowded throughout.
There are no vehicles iu use in Japan,
and the pavements extend from one sido
of the street to the other. No provision
is made for the passage of carriages, om
nibusses or wagons, for there are none in
existence, and persons on foot take pos
session of the whole highway. The en
tire metropolis is built of wood, and one
dwelliug is a representation of all.
A Japancso house at the first glance
resembles a child's toy house on a large
scale. The floor is raised about two feet
above the earth, and there is a covered
porch in front resting upou tho bare
ground. After entering the porch you i
step up into tho house, always leaving
your shoes behind you. It is considered
a very great breach of propriety to enter
a dwelling without removing one's boots.
As they wear only sandals, covered with
a leathern thong, which they can shuffle
on pr off in an instant, this custom is of
but little moment to the natives, but
foreigners find it a very troublesome one.
This answers as a depository for shoes,
and, in passing a house, tho number of
visitors may be kuown by counting the
number of pairs of sandals on the porch.
WThcn tho walls of a houso aro up it
consists of one largo room, which is then
cut up by partitions, which aro nothing
more than sliding screens that close up
into each other in a fashion that admits of
one apartment being divided into a dozen
distinct ones instantly. , There aro no
chimneys attached to the houso, and they
contain no beds, chairs or tables. The
floors are covered with a series of clean
bamboo mats or cushions, each six feet
by three and nicely bound with red or
blue tape. They are stuffed with light
wool or moss and are as soft and yielding
to pressure as tho heaviest Brussels vel
vet. Ihese mats fit in with each other
as regularly us the squares on a chess
1 i -1.1 1 1 n ,
Doaru, ana mo wnoie noor is Kept as
clean and is dusted as often as the ma
hogony sideboard in the houso of a Dutch
burgher. No fleok of dirt is ever allow
ed to rest upon the polished surfaco of
tho matting, and to step upon it with a
pair of boots would bo a greater insult
than to make a footstool of a seven hun
dred dollar piano. :
The family sit upon the matting all
day, with thoir legs bent under them, in
a shape that would givo any foreigner in
curable paralysis in fifteen minutes, and
they sleep upon it at night. A Japanese
pillow is a curiosity in its way. It is
nothing but a rocker of a cradle, broad
enough to stand alone, with a semi-circu
lar depression on the upper side. The-
Japanese lie full length on the floor, place
not their head, but their neck in the crescent-shaped
hollow on tho upper sido of
the pillow, and rock themselves to sleep
in a few minutes.
Carrier Pigeons and how they arc Trained,
BALLOONS and carrier pigions are
among the prominent agents of
communication employed in tho Franco
Prussian war. The carrier pigeon is
larger than tho common pigeon meas
uring about 15 inches in length and
weighing about one and a quarter pounds.
An appendage of naked skin hangs across
its bill. Its value is estimated according to
its shape and size. Its strong, instinctive
love of home is so valuable, and fits it for
its functions as a carrier.
The birds are regularly trained when
young, their trainers taking them at first
short distances from home and then
turning them loose. Those that fail to
return homo are considered stupid and
rejected as valueless. Thoso that return
borne are then taken to greater distances,
progressively increased from two miles
to a thousand miles. Tho good birds
return home with unerring certainty.
The birds are sometimes kept in a
dark place for Borne hours before they
are used and sparingly fed, but abundant
ly watered.
The paper on which the niessago is
written is carefully tied around tho upper
part of tho bird's leg, but so as not to
impede its flight. An old English bal
lad and a lino from Tasso imply that the
original way of suspending the despatch
was from the wing or arouud the neck,
but the above method is that now in use.
The employment of tho carrier pigeon
dates frcm remote antiquity. The rapid
ity of the flight of this bird is almost in
credible. Audubon speaks of passenger
pigeons shot iu the neighborhood of New
York with their craws full of rice,
which tho birds could not have procured
nearer than tho rico fields of Georgia
and Carolina. Tho same naturalist ob
serves that as their power of digestion is
so great that they entirely decompos3 food
in twelve hours, tho birds which were
killed in the neighborhood of New York,
must have traveled between three and
four hundred miles in Bix hours.
When the annual trial of the prize for
the best carrier pigeons was decided at
Ghent, in 1833, twenty-four birds which
had been couveyed from that place, were
thrown up at llouen at fifty minutes past
nine o clock in tho morning. I he dis-
tanco is ono hundred and fifty miles.
Tho first pigeon arrived in Ghent in ono
hour and a half, sixteen came in within
two hours and a half, and three in the
course of the day. Four were lost. Tho
rate at which tho first bird flew was nine
ty miles in tho hour. " When thrown up
the bird rises, and when it has reached a
good height will at first fly round and
round and then make off,' continuing on
tho wing without stop or stay, unless pre
vented, until its well-known home is
reached.
Taddy Hayes and tho Turtle.
In New York, a man was carry a live
turtle along the street, when along came
an Irishman, followed by a largo dog.
The countryman tried by gentle words to
t tho son ot Emerald to put his finger
in the turtle's mouth, but he was t6o
smart for that. '';
" But," says he, " I'll put my dog's tail
in
, and seo what tho basto will do. , 4
lie immediately called up his dog. took
his tail in his hand and stuck it into the
turtle's mouth. Ho had scarcely got it
in when Mr. Turtle shut down on the
poor dog's tail, and off the latter ran at
railroad speed, pulling tho turtle after
him at a more rapid speed than it hud
ever traveled before. The countryman
thinking his day's work would bo thrown
away if tho animal should run at that
speed, turned with a savago look upon tho
Irishman and exclaimed:
" Call back your dog."
Patrick put his hands into his pockets,
threw his head to ono sido, winking and
then answered with a provoking sang
troid :
" Call back your fisk"

I dinks not.
After I ish signed mine name town

Ven I pelief dat I vas ash near readic

und den I can't stand dat dcuitation ash I
go past so many lager peer salunes. So I
dinks I can slip avay from the rear end
of dat barado mitout anypody daken

goes into a beer saluno and I finds out
vot I vants ; still dat makes me more dryer

JOSy At one of tho railroad depots iu
