So far only the soft maples seem affected. but they are so badly struck that one cannot but think of the couplet: “The melancholy days have come. The saddest of the year.” It makes one think of death, the death of the leaf. the death of the season, the death of the year, our own death. The wise man of course will not stop there but will go on to the spring, the resurrection, the undying life.

When the publisher of a news- paper has done the best he can to rectify any wrong as soon as he discovers it, that should be sufficient to protect him from costly litigation. â€"-Mr. Wm.
