THE RURAL WEVV- YORKER. 
I AUTUMN. 
BY ISAAC W. SANBORN. 
The year is passing: I and over all 
Comes stealthily creeping: somber Tali; 
The skies have changed their mellow hue 
For a deeper shade of azure blue. 
The singing birds away have flown. 
The cricket’s son is heard alone; 
The chilly winds go moaning by— 
Autumn is here and Winter’s nigh. 
The sun's red heat no longer burns. 
The Maple's green to golden turns; 
Crystal Bpring brook resumes its flow, 
Speeding its way to the plains below. 
Over the homestead, far and near. 
Forests and fields all cheerless appear ■ 
Well may we feel-feel it to sigh- 
Autiunn is here and Winter is nigh !

fContinued from page 368. | 
SIRS. Wt.vduam has cold after cold, and fancies 
that the air at, the Orange does not agree with 
her. The neighbors are departing one by one 
and she does not clearly understand why Dolly 
P Inch left Immediately after Christmas, and why 
the Invitations to Finch flail have not, been so 
numerous since then. Paulino hold* her peace. 
Perhaps, considers the good-natured creature, 
“ my niece has had a disappointment. Perhaps 
we were, all tblngsconsidered, somewhat prema¬ 
ture.” She endeavors thus to buoy herself up 
but, It Is evident that the disappointment, If there 
be one, is not confined to Pauline. Mrs. wynd- 
ham wants a change. Wales 7 Yes. The moun¬ 
tain breezes would brace her up nicely for the 
London soason, to the tdoa of which she clings. 
W ould she like Charlotte to go, or Minnie 7 
Mrs. Jermyn would be only too happy to spare 
ettherof the dear girls, and the dear girls were 
by no means averse to going. 
The next time the Jerrayns came over, It was to 
say good-bye. 
Charlotte was In wild spirits. 
“ Tell me," she cried, “ what does the little Fen¬ 
nel say to this 7 is ho heart-broken ? ” 
“ What—does—he—eay ? » 
“ Good gracious f has if, come to that, Pauline 7 
Do tell me, quick! The audacious monkey « 
Keeping It so quiet, too 1 When did It take place • 
and where, and how ? ” 
“ What do you mean ? ” 
“And she dares say that, blushing like a red 
red rose ! " cried Charlotte, seizing upon her.’ 
And she would have gone away, without ever 
having told me, when she knows how I have 
aided and abetted-” 
“ What 7 ” said Mtnule, coming In. 
“ Shut the door, Minnie. Here is fun. Now 
Pauline,” cried her tormentor, “ tell the truth’ 
and shame somebody, with whom you never had 
any dealings, my dear. Little Fennel has made 
you an offer of his little heart, and his little 
hand, his big house, and the biggest pine In his 
garden! Now, i’ll tell you what he said, und all : 
about It, lie said.‘Come now, you had better

The tun ruin lied all that had been said in Its

comfortable, quiet; good rooms were secured to

Pauline leaned out over her broad window-sill. 
Ihere was scarcely a sound to interfere with 
the low, monotonous gurgle of the waters be¬ 
neath ; scarcely a movement throughout the dim 
and hushed atmosphere. 
Her heart was at rest with God, at peace with 
all the world.
