AUTUMN.
rhedyiagyear! the dyitg year !
The heaven is clear and mild .
And withering all the fields appear
Where once the verdure smiled.
The Mmnrr ends its short career,
Tbesphyr breathes farewell ;
And new upon the closing year
The yellow glories dwell.
The radiant clouds float alow above
The lake's transparent breast ;
JB splendid foliage all the grove
Is fancifully dressed.
On many a tree the autumn throws
Its brilliant robes of red ; .
A sickness lights the cheeks of those
It hastens to the dead.
That tinge is flattering and blight,
But teiis of death like this;
aod they, that see its gathering light
Tboir linget ing hopes dismiss.
0. thus serene, and free from fear, .
Shall br our last repose ;
Thus, like the sabbath of the year,
Our latest. evening close.
IBAflK'S STRATAGEM.
Miss Amanda Melbourne was forty or
profatoed to be. . With a lady, veracity on
that point is generally good ; so we will
chronicle her as-four times ten. Forty sum
mers had left a wonderful bloom upon ber
oheeL or else, it was rabbit's paw lightly
touched to a mysterious powder, in an oval
box with lid all covered with guilt and French
words, andcouveyed therefrom to the sallow
uheek ot the youthful Miss Amauda. Her
teeth looked splendidly. She taid it was
natural to the family ; her father's teeth
were all wound when he died at the advanc
ed age of seventy. So most people envied
that uatural beauty of her family a set of
splendid teeth, but I learned she paid money
for them : and spirits, that walk when ;
"Night driven along by the hours, has reached
the uiddle of its orbit," -
mld back me up in the asertioo, had they
takeu an airy utroll thro' Miss Melbourne's
ouawber. at the hobgoblin hour, fur there
they reposed m a tumbler ot cold water, ev
ery night, on a table near her bed. She was
tery precautious to place the stand near he
btd, in case of lire 1 suppose, for I verily
'there he woulo: have perished in th
flu 10 a rather than lit the- world know her
nrou, sound teeth decayed and dropped
out iu a simile niiiht!
And then those tresses 1 black, glossy and
heavy. She sported a waterfall, too, .Mis
Arnaila. d;d, vo uiumous as an girt ct
hviiteen ; but the waterfall, with its beaded
net. decked the aforesaid stand each night
a!-i, and a front piece coiled itself around
the aforesaid tumbler.
There was another article that mingled
with the group of "make-ups," on thai
tmd. There was a pair of them. I will
you howl learned the above. One morn
ins I had risen early, and stepped from my
window to the roof of the piazza, and went
around to her sleenine room window. It
was very warm weather, and Miss Melbourne
had been so indiscreet as to leave her win
dow open and curtain up. So I opened the
Hinds to bid her good morning, and, O hor
ror! there laid an old lady, white-headed.
toothless, cheekless I might almost say, for
there were two deep holes where cheeks a.-u-a!!y
were. The sun shone full upon her sal
low face, and kissed her white eve-brows.
and I . hastily closed the blinds for fear of
awakening her, and hurried back to my a-
Jartment. The array on the stand had not
escaped ray eye, and had I not seen them,
I should have been in great doubt whether
that great-grand-mother looking woman was
hiss Melbourne, forty, or some ancient, di
lapidated relation of whose arrival I had not
yet learned. But I knew the teeth, gradu
ated bads on that net, etc., but what in the
tame of Art, was that pair of things beside
them?
Curiosity was strong at eighteen, sotak
h? off ray slippers, I glided round to her
w.ndow azain and p ered through the blinds.
Am Melbourne was fcit'.in? on the edge of
ihe bed. trying to shake off ''death's coun
terfeit." by rubbing he eyes an J giving
tausica! little yawns ucJeasionalry varying
toe performance Ly stroking her ah-jutders,
w if coaxing off the rheumatism.
At this juncture, iny hankerchief had al
most disappeared in my mcnth. and ioth
hands were clapped to my sides, to prevent
plosion which might give warning to the
enemy that I was ia auibnsh; for. I was
wund to discover where that pair of pCar
snaped gutta-percha articles went, on Miss
Melbourne. While waiting for that denou
fcent, I beheld what surprised me still more.
As I live, Miss Melbourne reached dowp and
brought from , under the bed an artificial
k'?! I always noticed a fault about her walk,
M thought it an attempt at the "Grecian
Fgle," so fashionable now-aAlays. ;
At this juncture I was shaking vi.sibly,and
we handkerchief performed but half duty,
or te-he was audible several times. Just
yfcn appeal my dear Frank, in the gar
den below, and commenced pelting me with
gravel stones. Saucy fellow ! to take advau
a? f my powerless position.
"Good ffiorniDg.V.he shouted; .but I or
iybhook my head at him, and placed iny
T"'"1 my lips. ' '
What are you doing at that window?
there's your slippers? were questions which
flowed, when I enjoined a silence, . . , -Aarninj?
round to give him a frown, and
3" nv displeasure in the most efficient
"MHiient manner, I beheld hiin climbing
op the trellis, saying i..V. ,; ' " : ..
i there is anything special to see, I'll
it. ' . . ,. , .
I leaned over.th edge of the piazza and
x out my pen-knife aod embroidery scis
wmy only weapons.
JNow, Frank.' I whispered, ,Mif you don't
Wt down immediately, I'll cot your fingers
104 slip your moustache. M- And as he
still rebellious, I suited the action to the
word and drew blood on thatde ir hand,and
clipped off the turning up hairs at the ex
tremity of his moustache.
'I3y Jove !" he exclaimed, and he wiped
the wounded hand on my span clean white
wrapper. With that I gave him a geutle
push that considerably accelerated his down
ward movement.
Once safe on the ground he looked up,
his face filled with alarm.
"What ails you, Kate ! gone crazy? look
ing in people's windows, slashing off, with
out mercy, a fellow's whiskers, and chopping
up his hands! what in time is up?"
"Now, Frank," I whispered, "go away,
be a good boy. I am making a discovery.
I will tell you all about it by-and-by," and
back I tripped to the blinds.
Miss Melbourne was now adding the fin
ishing touch to her head gear, and my heart
sank for fear those mysterious articles had
gone to their duty. No; there they were,
on the bureau, and Miss Melbourne took them
up and slipped them both into her mouth
one each side ! Then I beheld a sudden
plumpness to her face and the mystery was
out: and I left just as the rabbit's paw des
cended to the oval box.
"Humph !'' I ejaculated as I entered my
own window; "she stretches her cheeks o
ver them to paint more easily, just as an art
ist streches his canvass in a frame.''
But what a predicament I was in ! My
wrapper must be changed. My hair all in
disorder where little slivers in the blinds had
caught it; my pet handkerchief, with its
red stripe and fluted border, very much re
sembled a dishcloth ; it was worth it the
discovery I had made was of inestimable
value to mo.
Frank was my lover, and a dear good soul.
My uncle Henry was Miss Melbourne's lov
er. This was my uncle's house, an 1 Miss
Melbourne was here oh a viit. Uncle Hen
ry met her at some watering place, and she
had captivated his bachelor heart, and, tho'
he was fifty-five he appeared as foolish over
her as my Frank did over me. She was
very rich, and I sometimes thought her es
tate on the banks of the Hudson, where ho
had visited her several times, weighed some
thing in the balance, with uncle's love; but,
if so, he didn't betray. They were soon to
be married, and she had shown considerable
authority in the house whose mistress I had
been so long; and moreover, had turned up
her uo.se a little higher thaa nature made it
turn, at my Frank.
"A graceless scamp!" I heard her say,
one evening, to Uncle Henry, "is that boy
wlm visits Kate.' Explanation : Frank cov
ered her poodle with burs, and Miss Mel
bourne's maid was two days extricating them
from his fl;e;y covering and she knew the
culprit. , "Yes," she continued, "a grace
less 'amp! and Harry dear, (my dignified
uncle, 'Harry dear 1') if he is to become a
member of your fairily, I think I shall go
back to Maple Hall (her home), and resign
my sweet hope."
A short argument here ensued, but uncle
got the best of it. Seeing which way the
wind blew, she finally sided round, and con
cluded to look over Frank's misdemeanors,
with the final burst of:
"I always did hate a West Point popin
jay ! there were several at Saratoga last
summer: but Fll never leave on cent of
property to her, if she marries him. I
haven't a relation in the world, but I'll
found a hospital, before he shall squander
my money, after I am gone." .
A flood of tears would have followed if
she had not been afraid of the paint, as it
was she carried her handkerchief to her
eyes, and gave a couple of hysterical sobs
that would have done justice to a first-class
actress upon the stage.
Hereupon my Uncle Henry stroked that
wi? I wish it had dropped off! and said:
"I'll see about it."
So we were enemies, she and I, from that
moment. If I could get her out of the
hcuse and uncle disenchanted !
That evening, I unfolded our propects to
Frank, and we knew, in words, many a mil
itary plan to rout the enemy and gain our
old ground with uncle, for he certaiuly show
ed signs of troing over with the old maid, in j
opinion. He even called my dear Frank, j
Mr. 1 iioruton. on several occasions.
Now; if there wa-. anything uncle de-pis
T 1 ,
eu. it was deception.
Poa t lie exclaimed, once, to tue, wuen
he caujrht me crimping my hair. "You
can't add to the beauty of thoe heavy black
braids, by the irivulous crimps, stuck up on
your head. Be natural, girt."
And he was gomg to marry a woman so
natural 1 What would he do. the first morn
of the honeymoon, to find Miss Melbourne
so transformed! bald-headed, one-legged,
bleached eye-winkers and without those
the the that pair of things!
So 1 thought, as I donned a fresh dress,
smoothed my hair and opened my drawer
for a clean handkerchief. And then I went
below stairs.
No one about vet, save the servant letting
the sunlight into the drawiug room, and
dustinar the furniture, so I stepped out to
find Frank, and disclose. I caught the ght-
ter ot brass buttons through tne snruDDery,
and ran round a turn in the walk to meet
him.
"O Frank !" I began, but suddenly stop
ped, for that was not my Frank.
neg pardon, he said, bowing low. out
is Mr. Thornton in?" And then he crab
bed me,' and kissed me.
1 was on the point ot screaming for frank.
Uncle Henry, Miss Melbourne, and tF.e
whole household, as visions of murder, ab
duction, etc., flitted through my brain, when
Frank's oldniusical laugh rang out, and
he exclaimed, , - .
"How do you like a kiss without a mous
tache?" : : V V ..
"Mercv! I exclaimed, "are you really
Frank Thornton?- Such a homely man. my
dear Frank 1 -O dear ! how you look: with
out a nwntache-and L ve invited my cou-
sin Madeline, from New York, on a visit
; and she will see you and I've told her how
much you look like Louis Napoleon! O
dear ! what made you do it?"
"I only cut off half," he smilingly an
swered ; it was a real sweet smile he had ; I
never had seen the whole of it before : "this
i side," and he pointed to the left side on his
upper hp. lou cut the other yourself.
lo yru suppose I was going about one
sided?" "Now I got used to it ;" and I stopped
to take a criticising view. "I don't mind it
so much but grow it as soon as possible.for
it was your moustache I fell in love with."
He knew I liked it, and cut it off to
plague me, I know; fori shall always de
clare I only clipped the ends and why did
not he trim the other side to match ?"
"Never mind you now, I've got some
thing to tell you," I said, as 1 eat down on
the gras.
Frank sat down opposite, and commenced
to rock to and fro, putting out his tongue,
exclaiming "and-er, and-er," in imitation
of the way young iudies tell a confidential
story to each other.
"Well," I said, "you tell the story."
"Dear Kate! I am all attention," and he
leaned back uonchalantly and stroked his
upper lip !
"Bless me, Kate, I wish I had a mous
tache ; I shan't know what to do with my
hands."
"Well," I began, "Miss Melbourne is not
Miss Melbourne."
"Who in the deuce is she then? Mrs.
Henry Way land?" And Frauk started up
in alarm.
"No, nor never will be," I, answered, and
Frank fell back on his elbow. "She is an
old woman 'of sixty ! and bhe paints "
"I always knew that," he interrupted.
"I asked her to smell the new, delicious per
fume on my handkerchief, and pressed it a
gaitM her cheek, to see what was what."
"No wonder she hates you, you saucy
fellow; and," I resumed, "she wears lalte
teeth upper aud lower set and "
"I knew that, too," he again interrupted.
"The upper fell down the other day, at the
table, and clicked on the teacup, while she
was drinkintr."
"And," I commenced again, "she wears
false hair "
"I knew that, too," he exclaimed. That
sort of bandaline she wears got moved a lit
tle, and the wig slipped a little, and I saw a
nine pai.cn or snaveu neaa ncre, . ana ne
pointed to that portion of his forehead
where the parting commenced.
"And," I said, holding my patience, for
a woman gets vexed, when she finds she
cannot astonish in such an instance, "she
wears two things in her mouth!" And I
paused to witness the effect of such an an
nouncement.
' Plumpers, by Jove !" And Frank rolled
over on t he srass, and roared.
"Well," I exclaimed, thoroughly vexed,
"if you know so muchabout Miss Melbourne
you tell the rest.
"Dear Kate, goon. False hair, teeth,
paint and whitewash I knew she had but
the plumpers," and he indulged in another
roar till I w.rned him not to burst off every
one of his brass buttons.
"But." said he, sobering, "of the plump
ers and anything further I was entirely ig
norant.
"Well " I said, rising, "I shall tell you
the rest." And I just walked off into the
house, and Frauk came rather crest-fallen,
after.
Breakfast was ready, and Uncle Wayland
already escortint Miss Melbourne to the
breakfast room-. A crisp good morning was
all he deigned frank aud 1.
Miss Melbourne could afford to smile a
little, as uncle was gradually fccing won over
to her side ; so she looked over her should
er as she passed through the door and said:
"A beautiful morning, Mr. Thornton."
"Hut no more lovely than yourself, Miss
Melbourne," he answered, gallantly, bowing
low to keep from laughing; fori pinched
his elbow, and asked hint if he knew how
much the plumpers were, a set.
A compliment told on Miss Melbourne.
It almost counter-balanced the poodle, burs,
etc., and when he invited her and Uncle to
join us in a ail,that afternoon, she exclaim
ed herself as very Lappy !
During breakfast I could not keep my
eyes from off her, wondering how she engi
neered all those ihings. Bless pie! how
could she eat toast?, talk and laugh, all at
tho same time, with thirty-two bought teeth
and those other things: all to be kept
straight ! I should sit Ktill and decline food
on the plea of sickness, and try tho power cf
suction to its utmost. She began to look
like a woman of genius to me.
As we arose from the table, I saw by va
rious signs, such as pointing your thumb
over your shoulder, jerking your head in a
certain direction, that Frank wanted me to
step out into the garden again, instead of
joining Miss Melbourne : as I usually did
for an hour or two, each morning.
. "Now," said Frank, as we stooped down
ostensibly to examine a certain flower with
in the border, for Uncle Henry and Miss
Melbourne came out immediately behind
us, the morning was so tempting, "I've got
a splendid plan, and we'll make it work like
a charm." Then he hurriedly told me it,
and the part I w-s to perform, and I clapped
my hands, exclaiming, "Good! good!"
"What is it pleases you so, MissjKate?"
simpered Miss Melbourne, as she swept by
on uncle's arm.
"O, nothing," I answered, "only Fnk
says you look younger than I do; .an(,I
know I am twenty-two years your junior,
r Frank, eotto voce, "It not fifty." : ;
" .Miss Melbourne smiled sweetly on Frank,
but uncle frowned. He knew Frank thought
anything but that, and did not relish the
"jak." ,
Ttnf ttia nlan I lof it nnfnld itself.
We had dined ; and I was in my chamber
attiring for the sail. Usually, I Bhould have
worn my pretty laced boots, and made Frank
carry me over the wet plates, but now I put
on my rubber ones. Usually, I should have
worn my new gipsey hat with its vine of
green leaves : but now I wore last summer's
ancient affair, and took off my empire head
dress, rings, and watch ; for I had a part to
perform that afternoon.
I "met Miss Melbourne in the drawing
room radiant wito a fresh paint, and s rich
Indian shawl wrapped about her. My con
science smote me.- -
"Why do you wear that shawl, madam ?'
I asked. "You may soil it."
Frank got behind her, and shook his head
disapprovingly at me.
"She is rich enough to get another," he
whispered, as Miss Melbourne took a part
ing survey of herself before the mirror; and
if you say anything else like that, you'll ex
plode the whole concern.''
"You don't look near so pretty in that
hat," said Miss Melbourne to me, drawing
on her lavender kids.
"I don't care," I replied, "if Frank don't.
I was afraid if we lingered till nightfall, the
dampness might take the stiffning out of
my other."
What a lie ! but it was . necessary to our
plan. So we crossed the fields and came in
sight of the river. Miss Melbourne aud
Uncle Wayland ahead, and we culprits
bringing up the rear, several paces behind.
''Kate," said my companion, "you can
fib it with the most innocent look of any one
I ever saw. See Miss Melboume's"s11k, and
that pattern hat. How is your 'Courage
now, good?"
"My courage is all right, .but its kind of
too bad, isn't it?" and 1 looked rather wav
eringly up to his face.
"Now, Kate," said he gravely, "we've
planned and must execute. We both hate
her .she hates u. If we can hurry her
back to Maple Hall, let's do it. Once p!a-e
her in such a ridiculous light before Mr.
Wayland, and his love-will go '..own to zero,
if not lower. "
"Well," I assented, "go ahead. I'll be
prepared."
We were now at the boat. Miss Mel
bourne was handed in and seated, aud I sat
down rather demurely by her side. Frank
and uncle were using all their strength to
push off. Soon we glided down the stream,
sailing till the pile of clouds in the west
were crimson-tinted by the setting sun.
JHiss D'elbourne hinted at return, as al
ready the early dews begau to tell on her
bonnet strings ; and so we turned about.
We now were within a half mile of land
ing. The wind seemed suddenly to get fresh
and flap our sails which wa very propitious
tor our plan.
Nearer and nearer we came to the shore,
and L knew the moment was fast approach
ing by the stern look that eettled on Frank's
iace. Another flap of wind, a mismanage
ment of the sail, only known to Frank, and
over went the boat.
A scream from 3Iiss Melbourne, and she
was splashing in the water' I was an ex
pert swimmer and grasped Miss Melbourne
about her waist with one hand, while frank
righted the boat and clambered in. Uncle
came up on Miss Melbourne's other side.
His sole anxiety was for her, knowing I was
a perfect duck in the water, frank grab
bled Miss Melbourne first by the waterfall,
but alas ! her one hundred and ten avoirdu
pois could not be held bv a dozen hairpins ;
and there Frank stood in the boat, with a
waterfall in his hand, minus a head ! Quick
as thought he thew it overbjaid and grab
bled Miss Melbourne's front hair. Alas!
off they came, and Frank standing in the
boat, looking like an Indian chief fresh from
a scalping expedition : and Miss Melbourne
looked like anything but a water sprite,
threw her head back on the bosom of uncle's
white coat.which was already pink with the
fastly-diappearing bloom of Miss Mel
bourne's cheeks, and fainted.
Her mouth opened and Frank, in his fran
tic endeavors to aave her, some how or oth
er got his finger in her month and extracted
both sets of her teeth, and Miss Melbourne,
incapable longer of suction, left the plump
ers roll out on uncle's breast !
I guess the spark of uncle's love went out
with the plumpers, for he actually smiled
and said :
"Frank, if you can find a place that will
ho'd. pull her in."
"Better let her drop !" ventured the sau
cy Frank, pausing a moment as if for con
sent, ana then toot her in ms arms anu laiu
her in the boat's bottom.
Uncle and I were in m a jiffy, with a
helping hand of Frank. There laid Miss
Melbourne, shorn of h-r glory : and I was
jut thinking I would tell uncle about the
other artificial article, some time, when
frauk exclaimed :
"For heaven's sake, what is that.'
There w:is Miss Melbourne's artificial leg
lvine two f.t. awav from her, on the bo; torn
of the boat and under uncle's feet! In the
rush it had become unfastened.
"Good heaven's, exclaimed uncle, will
this woman come all to pieces before we can
get her home?" . . .
1 11 run home and bring down a bushel
basket to convey her in," said the cruel
frank. "I guess there is about two pecks
of her, when we come to gather up the
fragments.'' ;
We landed before Miss Melbourne came
to herself. Uncle had gone for the carriage.
I guess lie did not care to .be present when
she revived. She partially opened her eyes,
saying, "where am I?" :
Calm vourself. dear madam, saw i-ianh.
soot i inn-Kr "A nsrt n( vnn in here apart
drowned, and" but she heard no more, for
clapping her hanas upon her fteau anu grasp
ing ber gums she collapsed again. t
TTnolo in n few moments, and We
entered the carriage and were driven rapid
ly homeward. She revived coming up the
avenue, but "phabsy her pheelinka, as un
cle lifted her to the house, to see Frauk com
ing along with the leg on his shoulder find
saying, gallantly :
"I am sorry, my dear madam, this a ci
dent occurred. That flap of wind took me
unawares. But, thank heaven, you are
safe."
It is needless to add, Miss Melbourne de
parted as soon as recuperated energies came ;
refused to see uncle at all. of which he was
heartily glad; and I don't think he has
s arce'y looked at a woman since.
A few days after, Frank came in and threw
something into my lap. I took it up think
ing it was some prcttyshell, and, lo! it was
a glass eye!
"Where did this come from?" I exclaim
ed, dropping it.
"Why, I was bailing out the boat and I
found that in the bottom. I guess she feign
ed fainting to hide the hole this fitted," said
he, placing it among the shells on the what
not. "As a work of art I admire that woman;"
after a pause he added, "but as one of na
ture's own beauties, I admire my Kate."
And he dropped on his knees at my side.
Christinas came and a wedding. We
would h-ve been married besore. but I wait
ed for a husband with a moustache. It had
got back to its old proportions, and I had
the felecity of hearing Cousin Madelinesay:
"Oh, isn't he handsome?"
