Young Mrs. Summer, one day in Octo- er, Decided her home to refurnish anew: For the reds were too bright, browns were too sober, Yellows had withered, faded from view. She sent for the wind, and asked him most sweetly To sweep off the trees, and cut every and greens ower, To brush clean the grass, and smooth it all neatly And freshen the gardens by sending a shower. Young Mrs. Summer is tall, fair and at ly. Her favorite color has always been green; Her beautiful home. until very lately, Was furnished and draped in its shim- mering sheen. - The wind with a will worked, eager and steady, But raised such a dust that the birds flew away; The butterflies, too--and when all was ready, He went to My Lady, and asked for his pay. Young Mrs. Summer, when payment WAS over, Had little to purchase her favorite green; The birds were all gone, the bees and the clover, And 'everything round looked so cheer- ess and clean ! She went to the sky to do all her shop- Fox And stepped to a counter where bar gains were low; And there, with much care, and think- ng, and stopping, She bought a white dimity--we call it snow. Young Mrs. Summer, with brisk, busy Engers Then covers ings of white, < Next sends for Jack Frost, and not a day lingers, But starts for the south by the first train that night. There she will work through the long sunny hours, And Bachelor Jack will look after her the bareness with drap- ome; She soon can buy green, and then with her flowers Sweet young Mrs. Summer will again roam. back Electoral Corruption. London Express. " 2 Te Bribery in elections is an ancient ii not an honorable custom. This is shown in the case of Shrewsbury, England. An eStract from Parry's parliaments and councils of England of a case of bribery, with its punish- ments, in 1571, shows how long the pernicious custom has been in prac tice : "Thomas Long, 'a very simple man, and unfit' to serve, is question ed how he came to be elected. He con- fesses that he gave the mavor of Westbury and another £4 for his sum, and a fine of £20 is to be as- sessed on the corporation and inhabi- tants of Westbury for their scandalous attempt." One can imagine the indig- nation of those inhabitants of Shrews- bury who received no bribe having to belp pay a fine for those who did. A Lasting Nenefit. Don't suffer with rheumatism.
