OCTOBER.
There comes 11 month in the weary year
A month of leisure and healthful rest 1
Wbeii-tbt ripe leaves full and the ulr is clear ;
October the brown, the erlsp, the bUt.
My life bus little enough of Viiss ;
I limit the days of the odd eleven,
Counting the time lh.it shall lead to this
The month th it shall l.ud to the hunter's hea
ven. And oh ! for the linn uinu's crisp and white.
With the sweep of I tie hounds upon tin-track (
The bai li lonfed cabin, the camp-lire's Unlit,
The break of the deer and the rifles cluck.
Do you rail this trilling I I tell you, fiiend,
A life iu the forest la pust nil praise,
Give me a dozen such months of life
You may take the balance of years and days.
-
For brick and mortar filth and crime,
And pulse of evil that throbs uud dents ;
And men grow withered In-fore their prime,
With the curse paved Iu on the lanes and
streets j
And lungs are choked, and shoulders are bowed
In the smothering rock ol 11 ill and mine ;
And Death stalks in or the strugelini; crowd,
But he slums the shadow of oak and pine.
j And of all lo which the memory cllntr",
j There is nought so sweet, as the sunny spots
I Wheie our shanties stood by the crystal springs,
j The vanished hounds, unJ the lucky shots,
j V'Vom th AliHiie.

I admitted my ignorance.
Well, I couldn't stand il ; il was too
n uch. I rushed out and started for the
sea. I don't know as 1 had any intention
of suicide, but I was in a desperate mood.
Tho path to the beech lay alongside of the
lagoon, and by tho time I had ?one a hun
dred yards I changed my mind and thought
I would'nt go to the beach, but would lake,
a swim in the lake. That is all Ihe accom
plishment 1 possess, and one. can't show
that oil' before Ihe ladies, you know not in
the same way you can ilancini:. I disrob
ed under the branches of a huge alder tree,
or sycamore or some such tree, and struck
out for the other side of tlie lake. Tlie
moon was shining brightly and the water
was delightful. I grew cool, and soon was
elijoyino, to the utmost, the luxury of the
situation. I almost forgot Miss Tusliy and
i her admirer. Having crossed to the oppo
I site, 1 swam into the dark shadows of the
alders until I camu to the beach. Then 1
j noticed the moou was getting low. I must
j return before I was missed at the parly.
After a short rest I plunged iu again, and
j struck out for the place where I had left
! my clothes. I could liud it easy by the !
j large tree growing there, and Pills, 1 tell j
! you. (he situation of things about that time j
1 was precarious.' 1
! 'How's that y I
! 'I couldn't lind my clothes ! Gone, sir,

that lasted me for a month. Not a rag of 1

belonged to my rival, wilh my while vest, j

I no possible show of gelling in thu house

I dickens 1 was to get out of the scrape. I
j looked up toward the hotel and saw some
thing thai fairly made my blood freeze iu
; inv veins. I saw three persons coming
j down ihe path. 1 at once recouized them
as my rival, Wiikius, Miss Tootio and auo
! ther young lady. They met thy dog when
I about half way between the lake ami hotel,
i I saw by their actions that the discovery of
I the vest iiad alarmed them. They till came
. hurriedly down the path to the very spot
' where I stood. Pills, that was a situation
! 1 never hope lo be placed in again."

'I dared not do il, but it would have been

were iliseussuig tlie prouaoiaty of iny neing

I roosted there ori a limb shiveiiag like

'By and by they begun to talk about go

I could hear one of the young ladies weep

a moment, and there was a liviiieinluus

to the hotel. Wiikius burst out iu a roar
of laughter and ke t il up until I sprang lip
aud cnlland him. I told him if I.e valued

I made him promise lo keep mil. 11, too, un

Many years ago, a negro clergyman, very
light-colored came north for tiie purpose
of collecting money to build an African
Baptist Church iu one of Ihe .Southern.
States. The people did not come down
very heavily, unit sonic one, knowing old
Mr. B's dislike to everything Africau, sent
the applicant to him. B., not suspecting
his race, relieved him graciously .and ask
ed : .
'What kind of a church are you going, to
put up'" "
"Baptist."
"How much money do yuii want to
ruie. V"
"Five thousand dollars."
"Is that enough ?"
"Vis."
B., sat down at his desk, took out his
cheek book, tilled it out for the entire sum
and the colored brother thought he had
struck oil sure.
"One thing,'' said B., "J want to UU
derslaud before I sigu iny name,"
"Certainly, anything."
"The Baptist put ihe new fellers under

"ver lull, the nnllinei'V dry dock:!, in clipper

lace and llowers, mainsail part silk with
forestaysail of Valenciennes. Her fiame,
was of the best steel, covered with silkf
wilh whalebone stancheons. The rigging
