All foliaceous vegetation begins to
assume autumnal cast. Soon the wintry
blasts of the northern tempest will
silence into timely decay the natural
ensigns of vegetative existence. Then
the active business of those depending
upon the attained success of the hus

pleasant season, a profitable harvest, an
active business prosperity.
