The summer has loft us with her gar lands of flowers, and her sunny days.— Autumn with her clenr skies and whole- some air, is with us. So still was the death of Stimmcr that we knew of it only by the presence of Antumn. For ourself we do not sigh to think that the but July and the lliicli-airbd .A.nprust have given place to mild beautiful Sep tember. We do not mourn that tho burning Sntnmcr-stin nnd brazen sky nre superceded by the genllcr warmth, alld the s.vect blue sky of Autumn.
But the fact ihat those duys arc gone, reminds us of ibe flight of time, and al¬ tliough we .velcomc the change, yet .ve feel n sadness 111 the heart when we gaze ut the landmarks ereclcd in our boyhood and see ibem receding from our vie.v. And there wero hours very plea.iant lo tho memory tbat existed in llie Summer thnt is gone.
