p results from this, that early t4
eke 8eaaon the leaf reecho ,the IIlnit;
Qf iis: growth in eize, aud,as tbs...
Stem to which it is attached goes -on
enlarging, there is a tendeaney to
disunion between steep and leaf,
and so it comes to pass that the:
leaves, which. et the beginuiug Qf
the season were. as cloth part of the
tree as the branches themselves,
gradually cease to take part in the.
work of the organism, and, having
given up to the stem and branches
the starch and other protoplasmic
substances which by help f h
sunlight they had manufactured in
the mysterious laboratory of the leaf
cells, they are able to yield without
resistance. to the play of the chemi-
cal forces which have been at work;
indeed, all through the season, but
which have been kept at bay, or
made to minister to the needs of
the loaves by the vital principle
now withdrawn.” "Notice," again
goes on our authority, "how vari-
ously the leaves take the approach
ofold age. Some begin to lose
the green coloring matter—still so
little understood—at the first breath
of autumn ; others cling to this
vital element, and keep their sum-
mer colpr till some frosty night
•drives the chlorophyll inwards to
the branch. Even as leen under
great'stress will become Gray -headed
in a single day, so a bitter night
will sometimes change the look of a
tree. Observe, also, that while
some leaves take the sentence of
death and decay gayly, blending
yellows and reds and reddish
browns with the retreating greens,
and still showing the beautiful net-
work of rib and vein as we hold
them up against the light—there
are others which take the change
sulkily, and in which the tracery of
the veins is clouded over. 'Toro is
tho mellow age of the elm leaf and
the sulky age of tho oak loaf. But,
short as has been the leaf's life it
has finished its work and prow disci
for its successor. Under the shade
and shelter of the leaf there has
been quietly growing during the
summer the bud which is to push
into leaf next spring. There they
are, the buds on this bare elm twig
close above the sears left by the
fallen leaves. This time last year
this twig and those buds were all
folded up in one bud.' The spray
with' its bud is a year's work."
"This budded spray," says Ruskin,
"is one pinnacle of the tree cathe-
dral which has taken, a year to
fashion." Slice open a bnd and
you will find the next season's
growth packed up with marvelous
neatness and ready for the time
when the tree shall feel the stirring
of the spring in its blood."

The dignified Professor was Dr.
H. Carrington Bolton, and his 8nb-
jec.t was "The Countingeout Rhy-
mes of Children. A Study in In-
ternational Folk Lore." Dr. Bolton
was formerly a professor in Trinity
College, Hartford. Ho has just re-
turned from a tour in Europe. He
explained to the audience that these
rhymes and many others which he
had picked up in twenty languages
were used by children in their
games to determine who should have
the most undesirable part. A lead-
er repeated the doggerel rhyme, and
the child on whom the last word
fell was set free.- Those remaining
wont through the same erdeal until
the last ono remained, who was "it"
This "it," Dr. Bolton said, is a very
polite expression in the games of
English-speaking children, for in
German the one who is "it" is called
a "wolf" instead of "it ;" in Japan-
ese, :'uui," or "little devil ;" in
Malagasy, "bucca," or "leper," and
in Hawaiian, "crazy one."
One of the most common jingles
in all languages was the familiar.
One, two, buckle my shoe ;
T11reeJour, shut the door;
Five, six, pick up sticks;
Soveu,eight, lay them straight,etc.,
Thera is a fund of curious allu-
sions in the doggerel rhymes, Dr.
Boltou . coutinued. Here is one
picked up after the expedition of
the Emperor Napoleon into Russe :
The First Lieutenant was so neat
He stopped in battle to wash his feet.
Another, which shows how anci-
cent the pattersis, is :
Nebuchadneazar,the King of the Jews
Sliplied off his slippers and slipped on
his shoes.
Little Things that gill.
A modern instance showing local
coloring in the United States is :
There was a little rattlesnake.
He ato too much or wedding cake,
And made his little belly ache.
As to the origin of almost all of
—the -children's doggerel, Dr. Bolton
said' he believed it descended from
remote antiquity. The ancients
were acoustopted to cast lots in the
most solemn:acts .of • life. It was
considered an appeal to the Almigh-
ty. In the middle ages casting lots
was degraded to a superstition, and
charlatans used unmeaning formulas
to impose on the people, pretending
to cure diseases and forecast the
future. In the well kuoMn dogger-
el :
- Eckery, ackery ukery an,
One -cry, two -pry, etc.
The "eatery" ie, Sanskir<te-for-
"one;" It is probable, Psof: Bolton
Said, that "ackery" war orginally'a
word- also.
Dr. Bolton gave this example of
the manner in which children change
the thymes. , In the Eastern States
there is a ,gingle which runs - as fol-
lows
John says to John now `much are
your geese ? •
John says Ito John twenty cents
apiece ;
John says to John that is too dear,
John says to John get out of here.
On the Pacific coast this has been
changed to :
Ching Chong Chinaman how much
are your geese ?
Ching Chong,Chinawan, twenty cents
apiece, etc.
The latest discovery dug up by
Dr. Bolton was this :
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
All good children go to heaven,
All bail children go below,
To keep company with Gluitgt;u.
Hartford Times.
At various tines the newspapers
have warned the public against
swallowing the seeds of ,grapes,
oranges, etc., because of the danger -
of such substances getting into a
small intestinal bag, or cul-de-sac,
called by the doctors the appendix
vermiformis. This is a, little re-
ceptacle formed at the,junetion of a
large and small intestines; but its
use or object no physician knows.
It has been thought to, be a rudi•
mentary or incomplete formation—
or possibly some meaningless' sur-
vival of a lost anterior typo. At
any rate, its existeuce, while pre-
senting no 'apparent "reason for
being," as the French say, is, on the
other hand, a positive and constant
source of danger, because of the
liability of its becoming the recep-
tacle of some undigested seed or
other indigestible substance. In
that case it produces a state of in-
flammation which in nearly all cases
proves fatal;
Fortunately but few seeds, among
the great number so heedlessly
swallowed,` seem to get into this
little death-trap—although any one
seems likely to lodge there, Per-'
haps more cases of inflammation of
the bowels than the doctors suspect
may be in reality due to this Obscure
and disregarded cause. Ono sad
case, which to day produces a feel-
ing of deep regret'among thousands,
and which plunges a family in over-
whelming grief, oeeured iu this
city on Saturday evening, in the
lamented death of J. Robert Dwyer,
the much esteemed adjutant of the
Governor's foot guard—a man
whose place that ancient corps can-
not well• make good. His case so
baffled the physicians that an
autopsy was had, and that revealed
a piece of peanut shell in the ap-
pendix vormiformis.
—Orders have- been sent from
Montreal for the dismissal of eight
conductors on the Western Division
of the C. P. R. A spotter boarded
the train at Sudbury Junction re-
cently, represented himself as an
old conductor dying of consumption
and was passed through, by all the
conducttors to Vancouver. Hence
their discharge. Among the men . are
some of the ()Meet conductors on

A Methodist Sensation.
Previous to the adjournment of
the North Alabama Conference of
the Southern Methodist Church at
Tuscaloosa last week a resolution
was adopted requesting Dr. D. C.
Kelley, of Nashville, ono of the
most eminent Methodist divines in
America, and Missionary Treasurer
of rho General Conference, to resign
his official position on account of
his utterances in reference to the
actress, Emma Abbott, at Nashville.
The resolution will create a gt'eat
sensatidn throughout the entire
Southern Methodist Church. Dr.
Kelley defended Miss Abbott's
rising in the church to defend her-
self against the harsh terms used in
a sermon on theatre going recently
preached by a Nashville clergy-
man.

For and About Women:
WOMAN'S LOVE.
"Somebody once said—I never
remember names—that tiny woman
without a positive hump can marry
•any man she pleases. I believe tbat
any man even with a hum -p can
marry any woman he pleases."
A murmur of disapprobation
arose from the petticoated listeners.
"And the only requisite is persist•
ecce, fifth some little measure of
judgment."
The murmur grew to a clamor,
but .the speaker was also a woman,
and a very bright one at. that. She
waited until -the tumult of- indigna-
tion and ejaculation^ had subsided,
. and then preached us the following
littlesermon from the above assets -
Lion as a text :
"Of course, I cannot make this an
'absolute statement, but it is a very
general- rule, and as such has no
more than the orthodox number of
exceptions. Once in a while a
woman can not be won by 'merely
dog -like following ; and if two men
chance to set their affections on the
same object one of thein will event-
ually have to yield—unless they go
to Utah inverted (thoughtfully);
butthat does not pertain 'to the sub.
ject. •
"Usually a man has but to get his
eye upon the goal, and then steadily
pursue it, through thick end thin,
weal and woe, deviating bitty enough
to make food for reflection, slowing
up only enough to get a header for
a fresh start, and some time he is
bound to get there. It may take
years. He may lead to the altar
auything but a girlish bride, l,ut the
game, suuh as it is, is bis, and hound
to be his.
"Not ono, woman in a thousand
can withstand enduring affection.
She may personally have no predi-
lection for the•man, and her sense
may be altogether on the other side
of the scales, but if he tells her she
is the ono woman ir, the world, and
continues to tell her, bywords when
convenient, by actions always, lie
will soon have a place in her emo-
tions that no other man has or can
have ; in fact (cdnfidentially), 1 be-
lieve that woman's love is generally
nothng but a reflection. Otherwise
how is she unually so enamored of
theseeett aha: paten with." Sim las'
uo free cheaice .in tate tastier. She
on not tieldct what • she ilf►lu:rfally
likea and adluires, hut must take
what ie oared. Time I believe
that while a man usually marries a
woman wheel he is first attracted
to by admiration, a woman's
attachmentas very seldom that
ha.is. After marriage, however,
the affection of the oae who took
him because he alone offered Mun-
eelf is by no weans Tess thou that
of the husband who chose her from
among ten thousand. On the con•
trary it is unquestionably deeper,
more fervent, longer lived. But it
is not founded on the same, basis.,
It has its roots, pot in the man's
virtues and attractions, but in his
feelings for herself. She adore him
because he first adored her—a flat-
tering illustration of our lack of
vanity, you see. -
"Now, my friends, none of you
can deny this- There is no one of
you but knows that if a wan is in
love with you he acquires an added
interest in your eyes ; when he vows
that you are an angel yon discover
that he has good taste at least , and
when he sighs he will die without
you, yuu realize, for the first tine,
probably, what the body politic
might become without him.
Irl short, if he is in love with you,
you are to a certain ektell't, and
perhaps only temporary 'at
first, in love with him ;
but if his, ador continues, since like
causes produce like effects, he conn
steady rises in your eyes, until
tinnily—well, Pope was a deformed
wan and so was Byron ; you don't
measure a man by his shoulders.
But girls, you never chose a hump-
back physically, intellectually or
morally.. Hs chose you, and he
just kept after you until hs got
you.,.
At this a couple of the virgin
Members of the audience., twisted
their ring -sets into the palms of
their hands and thoughtfully spoke
of the fashions in passementeries.
WIVES AND WIDOWS.
There is a decided disposition in
France to regard those who marry
eti secondes noces as hardened sin-
ners or as imbeciles undeserving of
sympathy. The popular sentiment
on the subject is to the effect that
a person has only the right to be
born once, to marry once and to die
once. Those who show a wish to
undergo any of those operations
twice are suspected of gourmandise.
It must be admitted, however, that
public opinion respecting second
marriage is much more generous
with regard to the man than with
regard to the woman. There is a
social and religions prejudice against
the second marriage of women,
especially when these have reached
middle age and have children•
Western Prairie Fires.
St. Louis, Nov. 23.—Reports of
forest and prairie fires come from
rill directions, excepting the North,
and give au account of great destruc-
tion of property. - The bottom lands
of the Okawa and the Big Muddy
rivers in Southwestern Illinois and
the prairies in many parts of the.
satire sections are ablaze, and out-
houses, .fences, farming machinery,
outstanding crops and wheat, and
in some eases residences have been
destroyed. . In South-eastern, Mis-
souri and Kansai, -between the Iron
Mountain Railway and the Missis-
sippi River, the swamps and low
lands have been .almost burned out
and the whole country is so filled
with smoke that the people are al-
most stifled. As far west as Hot.
Springs -fires have destroyed farms,
residences, barns and fences. On
the east side of 'the Mississippi
River in Washington- and Bolivar
counties.. Miss., nine cotton gins
besides much other valuable ,pro-
perty have been, destroyed. From
the Indian Territory are reports of
great prairie fires. Forty miles of
range rround Red Fork have been
entirely ravaged and thousands df
tons of hay, farming implements
and a large number of cattle have
been burnedr Other sections of
the territory have suffered in the
same, way. - .

NEWSPAPER LAWS
We call the special attention' of Post
pasters and subscribers to the following
iypopsis of tho•nowspaper laws :-
1—A postmaster, is required to naive
notice at LETTER. (returning a paper (roes
not answer the law) when a subscriber does
not take his paper out 'of the office, and
state the reason for its not being taken.
Any neglectto do so makes the postmaster
responsible to the publishers for payment.'
2—If .any person. orders his paper dis•
3ontinued, he must pay all arrearages, or
the publisher may continuo to send it
until payment- is made, and collect tht
whole amount, whether it be taken frou
the office or not. There can be no lega,'
discontinuance until the payment is made .
3—Any person who takes a paper from
the post -office, whether directed to hit
name or another, or whether he has sub.
scribed Or not, is responsible for the pay.
4—If a subscriber orders his paper tot),
stopped at a curtain time, and the publish.
er continues to send, it the subscriber
bound to pay for it if he takes it out of th
post -office. This proceeds upon the growl;
that a Man must pay for what he use;
• ,tib In the Division Court in Godcrich
at the November sitting a newspaper poi'• .
lisher sued for pay of paper. The defend-
ant objected paying on the ground that he
had ordered a former proprietor of the
paper to discontinue it. • The Judge held
that that was not a valid defence. The
plaintiff, the present proprietor, had no
notice to discontinue and consequently
could collect, although it was not denied
that defendant had notified former pro-
prietor to discontinue. In any event
defendant was bound to pay for the tin: e
11e had received the paper and until he
had paid all arrears due for subscription.
