Autumn 



There be four things which are little upon the earth, hut they are ex- 

 ceeding wise: The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their 

 meat in the summer; The conies are hut a feeble folk, yet they make 

 their houses in the rocks; The locusts have no king, yet go they forth 

 all of them by bands; The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in 

 kings' palaces. THE BOOK OF PROVERBS
