"The melancholy days have come,
Tbo saddest of tho year." . -
The poet Bhould have been n Nobras
kan,and tho sadness would not havo
Bit so heavy on his soul. He would
havo thought and felt moro of the
beauty, tho rcstfulness, the ceasing from
labor that nature knows, the dreamy
blue-white bazs in the air, the red sun
set glows, and tho fiist kindly sugges
tion of froit in the morning. Even tho
glories of an apple orchard would appeal
to him, unless, as cb.cs.rfu! people have
alwayB tuspectsd,he was at. the timo a
diepeptii! or a victim of malaria. In
this part of GoTb country tho season
just beginning calendar wise is so
beautiful, usually, that we nil fool as if
we could turn poets for the nonce and
road our titles clear to greater famo
than falls to the share ot tho author of
tho melancholy linos. Yet expression
is cot easy, and still to ths end of timo
words are inadequate.
The old town on the river bisks
peacefully amid its vonerablj treos in
the softeued sunshine. Every morning
old Sol must molt away the long wind
ing fog-wisps that lie grayly in tho val
leys, but the hills ara free at evening to
catch his last red gleams. Tbo trees
havo still tbeir sober midsummer dress
but already they have drunk of a softly
falling autumn rain, and have shivered a
littloina broez? that whispers an old
story to them. The B'g Muddy crawls
along it is almost three-fourths sand
bars cow and udds a white beauty to
the scjno if you are far away from and
above it. I stood on an eminenca today
and looked down on the city of treeB,
1 wonder if tho iniugurator of Arbor

where onco tho old fort stood, but
wboro now tho tolton ot paaco, tho cross
on a Catholic church, is lifted, lies to
tho south of the city and just at its

if you walk acrojs this bridge into Iowa.
