AUTUMN MUSINGS.
Tl i the time of gathered grain ;
The fields are lull f stocks and sheaves,
The hills are bare, the first dead leaves
'"Fall, fluttering, 'gainst the window pane.
Down through the mist the young moon peers,
The harvest moon, so glad and fair ,
Bat I am sad. for all things wear
Their stttumD look of other years.
Upon me, with each falling leaf,
Fall thoughts of Autumns long ago ;
"Some tale of buried joy or woe
Is kid in ever harvest sheaf.

O'er hase-wrapped field of gathered grain,
Glad earth I ye give me not again,

AUNT JULIA'S VISIT.
"Pay tho postman ! pay the podtinan!"
nnt the one I loved beat on earth, as be
held a daiuty enrelope just above uiy reach.
"Please!" and i sprang upon a chair, and
thso upon the sofa, in ray fruitless enJeuvor

frerrthiug must be in prime ordr. She
will take uic to tsk -if the least thing is
aiuisi. "
Sly husband laughed pleasantly as he
went out. lie had only lett the office to
bring me the letter so kind and thoughtful
of hhn. . '
Aunt Julia was my father's maiden sister,
and had bean his housekeeper since uiy
uiother'a death, now eleven years. She was
att forty, but still fine-looking, and what
men call a strong-minded woman. She hud
but few intimate friends ; but those loved
her dearly, andJL was one of that number,
and had been since the day she had taken mc
on hor lap,a motherless girl of nine years,aud
drawing me close to her bosom, whispered,
" You have lost one of the best of mothers,
N'elly ; but 1 will try and fill her place to
you, bo far as I am able."
And she had kept her word. I had a
brother and sister younger, and we all alike
shared her love and kindness.
My husband was a lawyer, several years
-older than I, and when the engagement was
made known to her, she shook her head, and
said, "I am sorry your choice has fallen there.
I have nothing against Frank Worthiugton,
as a man--indeed, esteem him highly but
hp is too old lor you. "
"But I am growing older every day, Aunt
Julia, "I replied laughing.
"True, but you are a mere child now, com
fired with him uot" fitted to become the
wife of a man whose habits and prejudi es
re already formed. You will Jiave no dis
tinct type of character, but will assimilate
with him, until you wilt never have an opin
ion of your own."
Her remarks troubled me a little, but my
father would hear nothing of it, and I had
now been married and in my pretty village
home three months, and thought myself just
tbc happiest wife in the world. And now
Aunt Julia, my almost mother, was coming
to make her fint visit. And I would make
it so pleasant for her. Perhaps I could thus
repay a moiety of all she had done for me.
And I bustled about from room to room, to
e that not a straw, shred, mar or stain
nuld offend her eye. Our one servant was
the bent of Bridgets, and the kitchen vra
pride. I had no fears there. Thegyest
amber was always in order, and its mossy
rpet and light furniture were similar to
ur own at home. Still, I looked for some
tting to change. Even my own and hus
band's wardrobe were carefully examined,
to see that no treacherous stitch, frayed edge,
or missing button, should rise up in judg
ment against me. Jly gloves were laid
imoothly in their box, collars between paper, j
nl haudkorehiefs folded nicely, just as she
hti taught me to arrange theiu.
" hen everything was done, I whispered
P "If, she will Took so pleased, and say,
v n V, a nica ''lt'e housekeeper you are,
-jelly." And when she came, as she did at
'he specified time, it was even so, and I was
riead as a child at her praise.
v Ine scond evening after her arrival, we
j1 few friends to tea, and I was proud to
Hr her converse with the gentlemeu of the
a"y. She was thoroughly posted on every
'tJect introduced, and I fancied that my
"nsbtnd deferred to her more than to any
-aer lady present.

e next morning, as we sat alone in my,i

you as a woman, if he has not already. A
man like Frank Worthington wants an equal
in a wife, not a pet of which he will soon
"But he loves me, aunt I am sure he
does."
"I do not doubt that in the least. But
did you love your pet kitten, Lilly White in
the same way you do your really talented
husband ?"
"How ridiculous 1" and I tried to laugh,
but could not, for the fear that had crept
into my heart. "What would you Lave me
do, to convince him that I am not a mere
pussy, to be petted and caressed ? Shall I
pore over his law books, review my Latin,
and grapple with metaphysics, in order to
become a suitable companion for him? Per
haps a few rehearsals iu oratory, or a wordy
contest with the poker.for instance, would be
an improvement?"
"Pshaw! do be reasonable. Your edu
cation has not been neglected. And now I
want you to make a good use of it."
"I wish to do so, T am sure But to what
did you allude, when you said my husbaud
did not speak properly to me?"
W hen he aked you, before Ins mends,
if you thought the time would ever come
when you and black Jake would both have
the ris?ht of voting."
"But he intended it as a playful jest," I
replied.
"Ah, yes ! but a jest intended to show
you your own inferiority. Compare you to
a half-witted negro, like Jake ! Had it been
I, he would have received an answer that
would have silenced him. I never allow
such things ; and no man will long respect a
woman who will tamely submit to such odi
ous comparisons 1 have a sharp tongue,
and men soon learn to beware of challeng
ing it."
And what would you have said, had the
remark been made to you?"
"I should have said, 'nature ba3 made
Jake'niy inferior; custom only, has made
me yours ' "
"But I never was quick at a sharp an
swer," I replied, a little sadly ; and thus the
subject was dropped for the present. But
the seed of distrust was sown, and brought
forth a plentiful harvest; and the next three
weeks were among the nio:-t unhappy of my
life. I was constantly looking for slights
and implied inferiority, and found. them in
plenty, ami resented them deeply. Not in
anirry words, or unlady-like pouts, but in
studied coldness, sly sarcasm, or feigned indifference-,"
that it was agony to exhibit.
"Are you fjuitc well, this evening?" my
husband asked, as lie prepared to go out,af
ter I had been particularly smart and disa
greeable. "Perfec'Ov well, thank you," I answered
coldly. "Why?
Became vou seem unusually nervous and
irratable," he replied.
"Nervous and irritahle. " Why don't he
say cross and fretful, like an ailing child,
and propose some of Mrs. Winslow's sooth
in? syrup? I thought, but said "Have I
said anything to cause you to think nie par
tic ilarly irritable ?' '
"Yes, your last Question," end pulling
his hat over his brows, he strode away,
leaving me second best in the encounter.
"But he shall see that I am not to be
treated like a child," I said to myself. "1
will be his equal iu everything. It is wrong,
all wrong, this forcing a woman to hold a
subordinate position. If he thought I was
not fitted to be his companion, why did he
ask me to be his wife?"
And when he returned, I was very digni
fied asked after his late case, and taiked as
learnedly as a youug miss just from t-cliool.
At length, conversation drifted upon the
subject of Woman's Kigbts, and Aunt Julia
entered into a discussion with him, that put
all my feeble powers to the blush. In fact
there was a rfliscbevious light in Frank's
eyes that I did not like. His logic I could
combat, after a fashion, but his ridicule con
fused me.
It is not necessary to ' repeat the argu
ments used on both f-ides. But, to my sur
prise, Aunt Juiia' seemed to have the best
of it, and my husband, rather doggedly, I
thought, admitted there was a wrong some
where ; that wt.Hiit.ii did not have their rights.
If they had property, they had a rijL'ht to
say who should represent them ; and if they
had talents superior to their husbands, they
should rule the household. He, for one,
wij perfectly willing to yield women the
rights they asked, eveu to 20 ing to the polls ;
and he turned to me, with "What do you
think, Nelly?"
Somehow his admission had not given me
the pleasure I h id thought it would. A
husband ruled by his wife ! Losing his vote
because his wife voted against him ! I was
vexed with Frank for subscribing to any
such theory.
But 1 must say something, and replied,
"So far as making laws or dispensing them,
I want none, of tbe responsibility. There
are men enough for that. And as for going
to the polls, I would not be seen in such a
dirty rabble. And yet, I do not think that
women have their rights."
"Wherein are they defrauded?"
"A man should give his wife all the rignts
he gives his gentleman friends ; should treat
her as an equal and a companion, and not
as a pet and plaything."
I should Lave said more, but Bridget
made her appearance at the door, with a
"Please ma am, would you be after stipping
inter the kitchen a minnit?"

about the breakfast, I was annoyed by a cir
cumstance, trifling in itself, but in my pres
ent mood calculated to vex me. Frank had
taken my favorite seat, a small sewing chair
one he had selected expressly for my use
and was rocking in it, apparently forgetful
that I had any claims on it. I was too
Croud to remind him. and the loss of it em
ittered the rest of the evening.
The next morning, before going out, he
said, "Have you an abundance of pocket
money?"
"Yes; why do you ask ?"
"I was afraid you had not. Here are forty-eight
dollars and sixty-five cents, just half
the ready money I have out'ot bank ; but I
shall have some more soon, and will then
pay you your share."
"I do not need it, Frank ; I have "
He did not remain for me to finish the sen
tence, but placing the monty on the table
went out in his usual manner. Was he of
fended ? 1 could not tell.
At the tea-table I said, "I wish to co on
the street this evening. Can you go with
nie?"
"Certainly, if you can eo soon."
I ran up to my room, and hurried on my
wraps as quickly as possible, and then, with
my over shoes in my hand, went back to the
parlor, and sat down beside him, as usual,
to have him put them on and button them
for me. But he seemed to have forgotten
that he had ever done such a thing, and dis
dainiug to ask as a favor, what 1 had ever
considered as a right, I p"ulled until I was
purple iu the face, I am sure, and then near
ly blistered my fingers with the buttons that
he ould have managed so easily. But I
was ready at last, and we walked down the
street, he talking in his usual manner, aud I
ready to cry with vexation aud outraged
feeling.
"If he thinks to govern me in this way,
by punishing me like a wayward child, ho
will find out his mistake," 1 said to myself,
as we went on our way.
As wo came opposite his office door, he
said, pleasantly, "How lar are you going,
Nel)y?"
"To King's, for some muslin for Aunt
Julia."
"Well, take good care of yourself," and
he turned to euter the office.
"Are you not going with me?"
"I have not time. Business before pleas
ure, you know." And he hurried up the
steps, leaving me standing mute with as
tonishment. What did he mean ? Was he going crazy ?
I had never been in the streets before alone
at nigl t, and my first impulse was to follow
hiui. But no, I wou'd not a;k him to pro
tect me, when he had sworn to do so ; and
I hurried on to the store, a few blocks dis
fant, where I called for silk instead of mus
lin, corrected my mistake when fabric was
produced, selected the article without regard
to texture, told tho clerk . X wanted lorty
eight yards and sixty-five cents, and when
he went for another piece told him I had
forgotten and only wanted four yards, and
finished my errand by offering a visiting
card instead of a bank-note in payment.
Covered with confusion, I took up my
package, left the store, aud with rapid steps
reached home, where, in uiy own room, I
could yield to the storm of grief and pas
sion that almost convulsed me. I had sense
enough left not to go to Aunt Julia for sym
pathy, and in my room, alone, I waitedsiuy
husband's return. The husband who had
once boon so kind and loving, but was now
so cold aud forgetful. But be should not
punish me in this manner, I told myself
again and again. He should see that I was
a womao, and not a child. And so, when
he came, my eyes were dry, and we convers
ed.with each other as we had done through
all those wretched weeks, for Aunt Julia
was to go to-morrow.
At the breakfast table she said, "I should
like much, Nelly, to have you return with
me. The family would be overjoyed to see
you."
I looked at my husband.
"What is to hinder?" he srid, absently.
"Do you wish me to go, Frank?"
Pel haps the tone was reproachful. I did
not intend it to be ; but his eyes sought
mrnu for an instant, and his Hds quivered a
little.
"Yes, if it will give you pleasure."
He is anxious to be rid of me, I thought,
and replied, "Then I will go." And 1
turned my head away to hide the tears that
would come.
It was only a three hours ride on the cars,
aud I could be ready at once. So I had no
excuse. Bat, really, I did not want to go.
The thought that my husband had ceased to
care for me, that he would not miss me, was
agony. One word of tenderness, one hiut
that he wanted me, and my aunt would have
gone alone. But it did not come, and at
the proper hour we were at the depot.
"Have you taken your tickets? my hus
band asked-, as the moment for departure
approached.
"No," I replied.
"Shall I purchase them for vou?"
"What an idea! Yes." "
When he returned with them, he gave
my aunt hers, with a bow, and then placing
mine in my hand, said, in a low voice
"Yours is three dollars and fifty cents ; but
do not mind about the change now ; we can
settle it as well when you return."
I looked in his face, but nothing but the
cold, busiuess expression met my gaze, and
with a spa.m of mental agony, 1 turned to
studying the characters on my ticket, that
might have been Chinese hieroglyphics for
all of any idea they conveyed to my brain.
4Whendo you propose to return?" he
asked me", when he had bidden my aunt
good-by.
"Tn a week, if vou want. mfi. Frank.
"I always want you, Nelly, or I should j
nftvpr liiive nsked vou t.a hiwirap mv wife.
He took ray hand, held it an instant, looked
wistfully in my face "I would go back," I
thought ; but the wheels were already in
motion, . and he hurried away, leaving me
to my own bitter thoughts. Back in my
old home, the joy of my unexpected return
made all so happy, that for a day or two, I
Earthy forgot the shadow resting on my
eart. But w hen the novelty had passed,
the old restlessness returned, andone day nry
father surprised me in tears.
"What is it, Nelly? getting homesick ? t
"nanMy and ytt ldo wantto see Frank.
And when is he
coming 7 '
I "Not at all," I replied, trying to keep
I back jmy tears.
i "Not cnmwiT ' u-li:it il.-.Aj tVir mnnnipnn?
Go back without him ? Impossible 1 I shall
not allow it. Why, he does not deserve to
have a wife to treat in such a manner. Ue
must be a perfect bear."
"Oh, no 1 he is always kind to me ; but
but he does not beem to like to wait 011
me, as he used to."
My father's face now became seriously
grave, for his tirade h:id been more in jest
than earnest, and he came and sat beside
me.
"Would it be risrht to tell me. vour father.
what troubles you ?"
I hesitated a momeut. "Yes ; I have no
mother to guide me ;" and then, with ma
ny tears, 1 told him of Aunt Julia's asser
tion that my husband did not consider me
his equal, or treat me as a companion ; of
our di cussion on Woman's Bights, aud my
remarks on my own individual ones, his as
sent, and manner to me since.
"Yes, yes ; I begin to comprehend. And
so Julia has been giving you lessons in man
aging a husband ?"
I made no reply.
"Nelly, would you exchange places with
your Aunt Julia '?"
".Me? No, not for the world!"
"And yet, she might have been a happy
and beloved wi e, if she-hw? taken her prop
er place among women. She was engaged,
and about to be married to one every way
calculated to render a woman happy, when
a series of articles appeared in one of our
leading journals, by an anonymous writer,
in which men were represented as tyrants
and autocrats ; that they lacked in intellect
what they excelled in strength. That they
ruled only by brute force, so far as the oth
er sex was concerned. The articles aboun
ded in sharp cuts at man's egotism, and bit
ter sarcasm for his hinh position. For a
time no one suspected the author, and her
owu family least of any. Hut through the
treachery of a supposed friend, the truth'
transpired, and my sister was the acknowl
edged authoress. Her affianced husbaud
was a man of loving heart and keeu sersi
bilitics, and the jeers and ridicule of his ac
quaintances almost maddened him ; aud fi
nally he came to her, and asked if she had
written such sentiments from a conviction of
their truth? She replied that she had, so
far the majority ot tnen were concerned.
Aud would she not in another article, make
some exceptions to her before universal ecu
sure? Never, and he only took a man's
prerogative iu asking it. Auother stormy
interview, and the engagement was broken
off, aud he is now a loving husband and
father, and one of the first men in our city;"
and he ineutioned a name that was never
spoken but with respect.
Poor Aunt Julia! I pitied her for her
sore wounds, although her own haul had
inflicted them.
After my lather left me, I reviewed the
past three weeks of my life, and my folly
seemed wickedness. I bad demanded my
rights aud obtained them, so far as my hus
band could yield them. And what was the
lesult? I felt starved aud chilled for the
love and care that every true wife appreci
ates and craves.
The next uiorning, I announced my deter
mination to return home. All objected
strongly but u y father. "Let her do as she
thinks best ; but when she comes again she
must, bring her husband with her."
"But suppose he will not come?"
"lie will, if you exert your true woman's
rights, or I have much overrated your pow
ers and his affection fur you."
He would have accompanied me, but I
would not rcrmit it. So he found me a
nice seat in the cars, wrapped my furs close
ly about me, placed the ticket in my glove,
kissed me tenderly, and whispered. "Be a
good wife, for your mother's sake !" and I
was soon hurrying back to my husband,
who had never seemed so dear to me as now.
When I arrived at the depot, I deterinia
ed to walk by a back street to our residence,
and f-urprise my husband at his dinner hour.
On consulting mv watch, 1 found I hail an
abundance of time, and reached the door
without being recognized by an acquaintance.
Bridget was delighted to let me in. "Oh,
but won't the master be tuck right off his
feet with the surprise? He has been gloomy
as a churchyard iver since you wint away,
and has niver ate enough to keep a cat. I
thought mayhap it might be the males did
not suit him. But now you'se corned back
to tell me, it will all be right, sure."
"Don't tell him I am here, Bridget,
please, if you see him first."
"Nivcr a word, and sure ;" and her hon
est eyes dauced with the fun of the surprise.
I went to my room and laid aside my
traveling dress, anddouned one that I knew
my husband liked, and then went into the
parlor to watch from the half-closed blind
for his coming. And I had not long to
wait, for he soon came, but with a dejected
air and listless step that filled me with re
morse. He let himself in, and as I heard
ht3 steps in the hall, I slipped behind the
door. As he tamed to close it, I stood be
fore him, and the glad light that came to
his eyes warms my heart even yet.
"You will kiss me now, Frank?"
"I never kiss my gentlemen friends not
even my. brother;" and the proud quiver
came back to his lips again.
"But I do not want to be a gentleman
friend, nor yet your brother, but your wife,
to be loved and cared for, as I was before
Aunt Julia came."
Well, 'tis no matter about the rest. But
Bridget' 8 eyes twinkled merrily as she car
ried away the empty dishes. And now I
always have my own chair, the nicest seat
at table, and the choicest pieces, a seat in
the cars if he has to stand, and all those lit
tle attentions of which a wife is so prud
when lovingly given.
When I told him of Aunt Julia s losson,
! "Nothing more natural
j he said, "As if I did not know ! Ladies of
her age are famous for managing husbands
when the have none of their own. liut, re
ally, Nelly, I do not want you to put anoth
er such case into my hands. A suit in
Chancery is nothing to it."
"liut you carried it as you usually do.
But was it not somewhat cruel aud rath to
leave me aloue, as you did in the street that
night?"
"Apparently ; but I did not lose sight of
you ;or an instant, and was on the o her
side of the street only when you entered our
home."
"Provoking! And I nearly cried my eyes
out over your ueglect."
And now, leader, I am afraid I have
shown myself a very silly, spiritless little
w man. But I cannot help it. Woman's
Bights would be a mantle too heavy for my
use ; and I should show to every one I met
that it was never made for 11 e.
A To L' o 11 Sto it V. A Western -paper fells
the following rather tough story. If true,
it is the m on t remarkable on record :
An accident of a remarkable nature occur
ed in the woods of a neighboring county last
week by which a man wa? thrown eighty
feet in the air. He wits standing on a bal
ance tree lying across a large log, to see an
other tree come down, when the tree iu its
falling course struck the other end of the
tree on which he was standing, and the tre
meudous weight of it coming on the sjriug
lever, threw him' like a shot into the air.
The remarkable part of the story remains
to be told. When at his highest elevation
the man caught hold of the top of a tree
about fifteen feet from the trunk, aud re
mained suspended by the arms until the per
son who had felled the tree traveled a dis
tance offive miles aud returned with help
and a ladder before he could be released
from his perilous position, lie was found
in the same position as when left, evidently
in the best of spirits, for he was whistleing
"Yankee Doodle," and making a strong
fight with his feet against a delegation of
wasps that were endeavoring 'to build a nest
in the seat ot hi pants. He said, upon
reaching the ground, that lie had had a
"healthy time" with the "varmints," and
attributed his powers of eiidur&nce wholly to
the hotly contested cauVass he h d with the
"critters" by their persistant "fire in the
rear," and the tremendous excitement inci
dent thereto.
If this man ever geU into office lie will be
frovided for, tor the rest of hi natural lile.
Ie will know how to hang on to it.
Sharp Practice. There is one island
belonging to Massachusetts, called Nantuck
et, which is famous for whale ships, pretty
girls, capital fishing and good stories. One
of the latter is told of an inhabitant who
lost hens from his roost. To detect the
thief ho placed a sharp scythe in a position
to be clutched by the criminal, as soon as he
opened the hen roost door. The next morn
ing there was blood upon the blade, but no
hens were missing. The gentleman did not
hunt for wounded hands, and iu a short
time went to California, returning after an
absence of several years. There then lived
on Nantucket one of the largest story tellers
for a young man, in tho Commonwealth.
He was quite popular, however, had a good
deal of "brass," and on electiou days could
get out m re voters than any other native
of the island. He was "stirring up voters"
one iay, and came upon the returned Cali
fornia!!. "Hello, li -," said the latter,
"give me a ride to the polls?" "No!"
said B -, with an oath. "A man as put
scythes in his hen-roost shall never ride with
mel" B was never prosecuted lor the
confession.
Disappointment. A man applied to Dr.
Jackson, the celebrated chemist, with a box
of specimens. "Can yeu tcllime what this
is, sir?" "Certainly I causir; that is iron
pyrites." "What sir?" iu a voice of thun
der, "lion pyrites." "Iron pyrites ! And
what's that !" "That's what it is," said the
I chemist, putting a lot on the shovel over
the not coals where it uisappeareu. itoss.
"And what are iron ivrites worth ? ' "Noth
ing." "Nothing! Why, there's a woman
in our to.vn who owns a whole hill of that
and I've married her!"
A Wonvin wishing to test her husband's
feelings toward her, had it given out, when
he was coming home front a jouruey, that
she was dead, to see how he would act. He
took the matter very cooly, whereupon she
appeared to him as the ghost of herseif, at
which he seemed not at all dismayed ; at
length, disclosing herself to him, he then
appeared alarmed ; a persou by said, "Why"
sir, you seem more afraid now than before?
"Ay" replied he, "most men are more afraid
of a living wife than of a dead oue."
A Kentucky editor makes the following
statement: "Our stock of paper has fiz
zled out, or nearly mo ; our paper maker is
in a state of suspension, or ought to be ; the
"small fry" are after a holiday, or will be;
and the editor is tight, or may be before an
other supply of paper is obtained ; hence
we publish a half sheet instead of a whole
one, and exclude therefrom everything ex
cept necessary news, nonsense, nd new ad
vertisement." Little Alice found an ingenious way of
getting to bed in a hurry. The crib in which
she slept was so low that by placing one foot
on the inside, and taking hold of the post,
she could easily spring in. "Mamma, do
you kno-w how I get to' bed quick?" she
said one evening. "No," was the reply.
