I am now an old neath the wei'ht of years. 3ly hair owe a beautiful auburn has, by the frosts of nearly seventy winters been transformed into a snowy-white. I am as it were, resignedly awaiting the ap proach of death, which can be at, no reat distance off, 5lv life has been o - . exposed to a thousand misfortunes, but I have endured them all without a mur mur, r It was one beautiful morning in May nigh on to fifty years ago that my earthly happiness was destroyed forever. Can I remember it. Yes. It is in scribed upon the tablets of my memory, to remain ever unobliternted. I was engaged to Ida Lee, and we were to be married very soon. I dreamptof noth ing but love and happiness, but alas, pleasure is but momentary, and happi ness resembles the uncertain sunshine of au April morning. I was reclining upon a bench beneath the boughs of a large oak ic the front yard, my mind occupied with pleasant contemplations for the future, when I observed a horse man riding very rapidly toward the house, and coming in the direction of Mr. Lee's. He stopped but a moment at the gate just long enough U tell me that Ida was dangerously sick. Reader, it is impossible to describe the awful sensation that immedia ely took hold of me, I was wholly unprepared for the reception of this unexpected intelli gence. When I armed there the old gentleman came out to meet me. " Harry, I fear" he stammered out, and then burst into a flood of tears. This was too much for me. It was useless to strive against emotion. To see this old man weeping like a child, the tears rolling down his time-worn and withered checks was sufficient to soften the hardest heart. " She ia all the child I have," groan- ed the old man piteously. The physician came, and after exam- cd hot, a crimson glow flushed her tlteek. and for a moment the lirht of reason appeared to regain Ler empire; but alas, it only animated her features to impress jniore strongly the trace of angulih, and vanished. Wild frenzy darted from her eyes, heavy sighs and convulsive starts betraved the asitation of her nund, and" at length a flood of tears drowned the tumult of her soul. My heart echoed sigh for sigh and re turned tear Tor tear. I could not bear the scene,' my basom labored beneath the weight of woe, and I hastily left the room. j Exhausted and powerless she reclined upon'the bed, her eyca closed and she seemed to be slumbering peacefully. The great hills of old Vermont began to be tinged ith the beautiful reflec tion 6f the sun's rays -.s he disappeared behind the horizon, casting a greater gloom over every countenance. All through the weary hours of the night the doctor kept his position, ai.d j in awful silence watched every symtom oi ins paiient, nis xpectaiions resting on the state in which she might awake. Harassed in body and -distressed in mind, I could not calm my 'spirits suf ficiently to partake of rest. Those and those aloue thatjiave experienced such moments of pen, can give a desc ip tion oftho great agony that is mentally changing hope to fear.. The gray dawn of the coming day was beginning to be visible iu the East when I was summoned to the room by the request of Ida. With an expectation border ing on fear I approached the door t-f her chamber. The irreat stillness that pervaded within shocked my nerves to sach an extent that 1 seemed paralyzed. As noiselessly as possible I opened the door and went in. eason had regain ed her empire, she spoke in the same old fumiiiar tone, the articulation of each syllabic cutting deep into my heart. Harry, she said, in a consoling tone as the tears ran down her feverish cheeks, ,; be composed, its God's will, try and meet me in Heaven." It. was beyond the -power of possibil ity for me to speak, something I know not what choked my utterance. The great distraction of my mind was par tirtlly but momentarily relieved by some feeble hope of her recovery, but that too vanished, it did not'reniain to com fort me but a moment. Take this ring,'' she said, giving me one of hers. " Cherish v. through out life. Our engagement one must never be taken from my finger. Kiss ma for t'ie last time Harry, meet me above, where Here she broke down, she never spoke aloud any more, her lips moved 31 y Prnycr. One of the saddest sights of autumn is the fadinz of the flowers.' Who that has a heart must not feel it ache a little when, instead of fresh and fra grant bloskoms, he sees the dried. brown, withered spectres of flowers dropping from the branches; when the Fnrmei-K timl INevvwjm- We hvc been frjmently surprised to see how many farme s, well to do in w orldly riches, neglect or refuse to take some good newspaper for tl c benefit of tnemscives and lauuly. lhey seem to think tha. they have no interest in the them because we hate them.

The autumn garden preaches a sermon that no one likes to listen to. As the wiud whirls the dead, scentless things along the path, one hears, "Sc transit glorta mundi,'' in their ghostly rustle. For all the bloom and beauty of the world comes to this autumn-fading at last. There it lie-, under the tomb stones. There were red roses here. and white line., and purple pansics, and golden crocuses. These brown, rustling relic? arc they. So the pict ures on the wall tell of red lips, and of white brows, and eyes morepurple-llue than pansics, and wealth of golden hair; and in the spiing there were have to deal with noth except the land that they plough, or the stock they iceu, and the children thev arc Marin" iti ignorance.

In Wenlihh Prussia,tuero are village where certain old custom arc still observed on the death of the head of a family. If the man should happen to have been a bee-keeper, one of the family goes to the hive, and striking the comb, ex claims, "Bees, arise, your master is dead.' A similar custom prevailed, possibly still prevails, in parts of En gland, and furnishes the idea for an in teresting poem by Tennyson, entitled Telling the Bees." The English custom was based on the supposifm that ur.less the bees were to d of any death occurring in the, family they would quit the premises, and tho man ner in which the information was con veyed, was by placing a black clutl over the hive. In the Prussian villa ge already alluded to, it tho custom on the morning of the funeral of a far mer, for the men to proceed to the cattle-ehsds, and after causing the cat tle to get upon their feet, place cheese before them, aud solemnly announce t theui that thj body is abcut to bo ta ken away. not enough to go once around among u., which shows wha- a big country this is.
