The grass is withering and turning yellow and in our fields and hamuiocks nature is making prepara- tons for apparent death—for partial deati ut least, uatil there shall come # resurrection with the revivifying Lreath of spring. As ihe “irosis of winter” are in- dicative of cld age we trausfer to our columms an arucle sent us by cne of cur subscribers uppropriate to this season, which ve know will give in- finite plcasure to thuse at least of a l:terary wurn of mind. It is beauti- fully written, aud suigesis many ex- quitite and delig.tiul thoughts. Ve a:k that our readers take time 0 peruse it: “Fiom e trees the leaves are falling upon the turf, and in the for- ests already are rustling, brown car- rets, whispering to our footfalls an- swers and mournful messages of the spring-time when they were small 2nd young, of the summer when tiiey were many and clustered and thick and beautiful and made hid- ing places and shelters for living and timid creatures, needing covert from the foes and feared prying eyes, Yet on nearly every tree, ev- e until the sap and the new ver- dure and vestments begin to come with next spring, will cling a few sturdy leaves, refusing to fall, with- lcred and brown, yet holding fast to twig and limb. These will be tor- tored and togsed and wildly twistea Iy the bitterest winds, the cold and driving i and pel snow of the winter, tain ng y will cling and re- remnants and tokens of 1 sOine lite, even when the great trees on v ltiel they hold are forced to bend and sway and croan aund their thick- est limbs swing and strive, and the moaning of them is like that of seme living thing strained and, keyed to the limit of endurance. JThe last roses, Thoe last leaves. The list member of a family, the last of a generation, the last survivor of a cirele. Always there must be a last. something or somebody must be left angering and clinging through storm and cold and varying weather, tlirough tempest and strain and bit- terness and sunshine and night's blackness and genial days and bleak, alternating and passing and suc- ceeding each other, There is a pa- thetically tragic picture of the last of a college class, the members of which bad agreed to meet and dine together every year until all were zone, and always to have chairs placed, places set and wine glasses filled for all. The one old, gray, howed man sits alone, and the oth- er chairs are occupied by the ghosts ¢t his dead comrades and compan- icns; and he listens to the far off cchoes of their laughter and genial tenes. There is a solemn and beauti- ful poem of the last man—the last strong man to be left solitary on this vast globe when its life is gone and all the multitude he has known, all with whom he has laughed j&nd wept and striven and consorted ore dead and vanished. We have thought often of the feelings of the lust tottering survivor of our grea: war in this country as he looks upon | the long array of the graves of his comrades and his foes; and realizes | taat of all the marching, cheering, ighting, fiercely rushing and des- perately baffled strong men who | strove against each other, he is the cne feeble and creeping remnant. “We cannot know. Any one of us riay go early, blighted or cankered or stricken in the very bud, as the may linger and go at full maturity; or, we may be the last. It is certain that as we live on through the years ond the seasons we leave behind us thickening trails of grave stones and griefs, and find heart chilling rain of tears. What can we do We cannot determine whether we shall g0 early or linger, or be the lagt. That is not for us to know. It is for | high on the list of fashionable colors | them.

The plain Magyar bodice is of the same; over this at top of sleeves and side is gray silk spotted ninon of a lighter shade, which is continued down sides of skirt in panler effect, the edges being finished with insertion; the same insertion outlines the “V" at neck, which is filled in with plece | lace; buttons trim the front.

The return to favor which yellow has been enjoying of late has been confirmed for the autumn, and among the new tints which will be placed burnt orange appears.
