Sr.PTEMIIEIl DAYS. September has its lingering lights and lessons all along the wny it is a world ot enchantment aud deli cate color no pen or brush can pict ure, while we talk encircled with harmonies, listening to smnll voices of unwritten song U3 they hum and murmur in our ears. It Is a glori ous season of matchless days and heavenly nights a lltting adieu to the wealth and fullness of summer before yielding to tho frosts and snows oi the long and dreary win ter. Wherever the eyes roam or the feet wander, there are contrasts, so vivid; and, instead of the high beauty of tho llowers of tho mea dow, woods and roadside, Is tho darker, richer foliage, lit by the first slight touch of Autumn, which begins to variegate every leaf and blade, while sunshine and shadow chase each other across the dark slopes and dreamy hills, melting into the hazy blue of tho furthest grand old mountains. Tho woods aro still dimmer than before, but i no Una beautiful. Tho daisy lias withered, the buttercup gone to ! seed, the laurel faded; but the ranks ol golden rod aro piled upon their steins in glory, that grow along tho roads beside the stone wall. The white aster, like silver stars, and their darker sisters in lilac and royal purple, with tho splendid leatago of ferns, aro now beginning to bleach in the Autumn rains. The leaves rustle along the ground, the cricket chirps In the stubble, tho homo-staying birds flutter in the bushes, and tho katy dids are nightly singing of what j katy did or didn't. The scent of i tho roses and the mown grass is no longer, in tho air, and the night ' bird sings no more in tho dark wood. Who can picture tho blue of the brook we look upon, or describe tho color of oak, hickory or maple trees as they change and grow from crim son to gold? The fall of the leaf and changng seasons all have a meaning, and a message of signifi cance and hope. It is tho farmers' ingathering and harvest. The corn is cut and laid in shock for the later husking, the fields of buckwheat i ripe for the sickle the grapes, j luscious and purple apples and pears, red-cheeked and abundant, while tae odor of cider vats is scented a long way off. We feel the charm of this soft Autumn air, and are learning that all the earth is Eden to those who will pluck tho tree of knowledge and see how to use the gifts of Nature. Storms and Signs.
