How gay they looked one evening, how glad, as I sat down on a seat by the way, just before the gates closed. It was then the sun spread out his rays gathering all this beauty into his splendor and made my picture for all time. I came back in the morning, and " the brightness of their smile was gone from upland, glade, and glen." In the night "the frost fell from the clear cold heavens," and suddenly the fervor of color was quenched. j The flowers were dead. The dahlias' hung to their blackened stalks. The ong. ramparts of bloom that sfood'sb brave and glowing yesterday, were shriveled and fallen now. The meek sunlight of these Indian Summer! days draws the' subtle sweetness of the waning year out of these fepulchers of the flowers;. The air is odor-pu- s with their dying fragrance.
