AUTUMN HYMN.
QoJ of the swiftly-rolling year !
Thy bounties he on every hand ;
How rieli Thy varied gifts appear
While 'neath the Autumn nicies we stand.
With countless sheaves of golden grain
The joyful reapers strew the plain.
Pensile from every drooping bough,
Fair in the snnliirlit's ruddy glow,
The ripening fruits are bending oow:
From lavish Hand our blessings flow,
Through day and night, 'raid heat and cold,
Hull swells the marvellous sum untold.
Spring sent a thrill of dawning life
Thro' every root snd branch and spray ;
AH Nature woke with beauty rife,
As to a new-created day.
Bong tilled the air, from every tree
Were wafted straius of melody.
Ths flowers sprang blooming at our feet,
Earth's fruits matured 'neath sun and shower;
With thankful heart our Jips repeat
God's goodness to this latest hour.
O lift to Him ench voice in praise,

shaking the suspected wiue (and all cheap

Turpentine Effects. The valuo
of turpentine as a disinfectant is not
sufficiently known or understood. Wil
mington is a town situated on Capo Fear
River, in North Carolina, a river sabject
to high tidal Roods, and, as the town
is in vicinity of large swampy rice-fields,
it would appear to be peculiarly hablo by
nature to attacks of malarial fever. In
tho town, beforo the late war, there were
six large turpentine distilleries, and the
health of the town was remarkably good,
which was accounted for by the supposed
effects of the rosiuifcrous odors of the dis-
Ullerie. Some time after the distilleries
had stopped work, owing to the late war,
yellow fever broke out aud spread rapid
ly. Hoping to check it by this means,
large quantities of rosin were burned iu
the streets, but without beneficial effects.
In 1870 the distilleries wore onco more
worked, and the health of tbe town re
gained its former condition. Another in
stance is given in which turpentine was
used with good results. During the
American war tbe soldiers of the Confed
erate Slates suffered severely from fever,
and the surgeon -general, not being able
to procure qoiuine, tried the offset of
applying bauds oi cloth steeped in tur
pentine aud woru round the body. This
was found te be very efficient iu subdu
ing the paroxysms of ague, and it is
evident that turpentine has some great
power, both oa a disinfectant and a sooth
er of malarious fevers. Medical Times.

taste uncultivated and untutored is in
fault. The requisites of church music
are, that it should be of the essence of
worship ; that it should be devotional and
that it should be simple, so that all can
take part in it. Tbe music would then
be the voice of the whole people and not
the choir."

cultivating mere eristic musie for the grati

outsiders, is not confined to any denomi

The (.pinion expressed in this paper
some time since that in the lata elections
tho results were not eueh as to justify
tho overstrained exultation of the Repub

is daily receiving ircsh confirmation. Uf

wr.u some approximation to accuracy,
rather than trust to our own conclusions
Farming ia a profession, not to say
science. If any one doubts this state
ment let him leave bis city home
for no one bred in the country wil
doubt it and undertake to cultivate
even a garden or half an acre for the
summer. He will then find that
knowledge is as essential to the right
use of the spade as of tue peu, and
that there is as great a difference be
tween the scientific farming of Flan
ders, where literally not a weed is to
be seen, and that of many of our far-
mers, tue weaitu ot wnose sou is aoout
equally divided between fruit and
weeds, as between the trade ot a
commerciaT city and the barter of a
backwoods settlement. It is true
that agriculture has been the last to
receive the impetus of modern science.
It is true that many agriculturists
are content to go on in tne ways or
their fathers, because experiments are
costly. But it is also true that they
arc unable to compete with those who
understand the use of new instruments,
methods and fertilizers. Agriculture
is almost- becoming in this country a
popular recreation. Many a gentle
man is content to spend on his coun
try seat money which he makes in the
counting room. The practical farmer
is thus able to get the benefit of ex
periments without paying for them.
This change in agriculture, which has
converted it from a druggery to an
art, has created a demand far a cor
responding literature. 'Fifty years
ago a stable agricultural periodical
did not exist on the American Conti
nent.' Now every considerable djs-

ana still nigner twining to tne very
top of the obelisk is a braid of olive
leaves. The various parts of the
monument are nearly completed and
are eovcrca with canvass Dootns,
awaiting shipment. The work will
all be completed on December 1st,
when the huge blocks comprising the
monument will be lifted from the
yard on to LovelFs locomotive cars,
which Mr. McDonald will procure for
the purpose, and will not be unloaded
till they reach Richmond. Here the
guage will be narrower and the cars
with its freight will be lifted from the
old and placed on the new trucks,
from whence the monument will be
taken to Salisbury without further
change. Tbe monument when erec
ted will be one of the handsomest in
except upon a theatre nearer at home.
The Kew York Tribune, Republican,
though liberal snd opposed to tbe admin
istration, is yet not so liberal at to wish
the success of the Democrats if it could
see its own party deserving of suceett.
It still clings to that hope. We can
therefore acquit it of any bias ot partiality
when it pre scuta a summary of tho re
sults of the election which may be taken
either as a warning to tbe Republican
party," or encouragement to tbe Demo
crats.
Taking a few of the most important
States in detail, tho Tribune shows from
official tables that in the elections of 1871,
the Republicans of Massachusetts had a
majority of 13,4C5 over all candidates for
Governor, (there were five,) while in
1875, for tht same office, and with the
the United States, and the granite "tme number of candidates, they were in

lady thanking bim for having sung the
hymn, aud suting that the author was
her sister, Miss Eliza C. Clapbane of
Melrose, Scotland. She had written the
hymn in 18G8 and shortly after died. She
and ber whole family were members of tbe
Church of Scotland, and were not Uni

Sankey replied to the lady's letter, ask

other hymns, and wot told that she had
written several others which were sent to
the Family Treasury, a religious paper cf
which tbe late Dr. Arnot was the editor,

In New York in 1871, the Republicans
had 18,907 for Secretary of State, while
for the same office in 1875, they are in a
minority of upwards of 15,000. And tho
1 ribune says 25,000 did not vote at the
late election. Is it not quite as possible
that these may vote next year with tho
Democrats as with the Republicans T
In Pennsylvania in 1871, the Republi
cans had a small majority outside of
Philadelphia. This year tbey have not.
iu Iowa the plurality for Governor
Kirk wood is 10,000 less than the Repub
lican majorities of 1871.
In Ohio the Republicans have less to
spare by 15,000 than they bad iu 1871.
These are the comparisons of the
Tribune, snd we rely upon their accuracy.
Thev show conclusively that though the
Republicaus have apparently regained
ome of their losses, yet they do net
exhibit tbe strength tbey bad four years
ceo. And the whole vote iu all these
States shows thst there is a large force
iu reserve which could uot be brought out
on qneatione which in several of them
were local and hsd in seme no connection
with National politics. In the President
tisl election nearly every man will cast
his ballot, aud there is jast at good reas
on to expect that these reserve forces will
act with tbe Democrats as with the Re
publicans more so in fact, siuce it is
more tbau probable that under the free
use of money, and the necessity of creat
ing some prestige for the ad ministration,
every Republican vote was brought out,
while the laggards were mainly of the
Democratic party.
Ida paused a moment, quite disappaiol-1
ed at uot fiudiiif them, and feeling a little I ,
lonely and awed ia ber white habili
meets. She glanced over the cemetery fence;
there stood the tombstones, cold and
white. For the first time a sense of the
foolishness of her attempted joke struck
ber, and her really brave litUt heart
flattered with reproving fear.
"It ia wicked to be doing this," she
said to herself, ia a guilty whisper. "I
I just thought to have a littlo tun, but I
know it i not right. I wttl go ou over

She had not reached the summit, tnd
consequently could not see the other
side; bat she beard a noise that alarmed
her.
First, a dismal stir of the utgbt wind,
aod theu a fierce, frightened breath and
a rush of heavy footsteps, as if some mon

looked ap In terror. A wild shriek burst
from ber lips, for coming savagely toward

terrible shape at earthly being brute or
human turcly never wave.
A monstrous and shapeless bead that
seemed to loss tboat limp aud lifalett; t
bellowing body of formidable site; fierce
flying limbs, and a tail erect and lashing
furiously these were that she saw, and
with a second shuddering cry of terror
and repulsion, poor Ida faiuted quite
away.
She lay there on tbe dampened sod,
the sheet still around ber, aud her pallid 120 Rags C-ffee,
