AUTUMN.
Autumn winds are howling round, Shrieking high among the trees, And the skies are dark and grey, Breath of "Winter, the chill breeze. Haste the little birds away, Swift, to hide within the trees Fioni tho storm clouds- hastening on, And the bleak wind's chilling breeze. Lies a carpet russet brow, On tho path a cov'nng sere; And the leaves, an olfin host, Flutter o'er the dying year. Aye, the Summer's come and gone, Liko her sisters, to Time's vast, But to each a summer comes ' "^STrnch will even be the last. / Oh, what peace in knowing, then, That in faith thy course t'aou'si mn, With the fixed £yo ever towards The great goal, the perfect one. And not 01313- in thyself Hast a kingdom for thy Loid, But hast done thj shar> to liu'd His gieat Kingdom o'oi the worM — R.'IIERfV C. J' lInCHELI,. Seaward Moss, March 27.
