Thy dellghtful aroma perineates the air, and is waftcd o the autumn breezes with sweetness and dispatch; thy delicious Uavor spoils the palate for other f mits; and thy price is quite unsatisfactory.

A young man about 20 years of nge - old enougli to know better, forged liis Father's name to an order for goods, and went to Wines & Worden's store and got about $13 worth of goods on the same. The fatlier refused to mke the affalr ?ood, but the youth's mother came to the re8cue and paid the money to clear her son. Where will the end bo of such a boy if reform isn't swlft, radical and sure?
