AUTUMN.

As we stood in the roadway and gazed over the Autumn fields and into the far distance, a peace came over us. It was just at sunset and a red glow overspread all nature. Not a breath of air was stirring to break the beautiful quietness of the scene. Scattered among the stubble of the corn fields were the rich golden pumpkins; here and there was a yellow ear,'peeping out from among the shocks of brown fodder, which dotted the entire field. Far back of this stretched a long line of trees, which, with the glow of the sunset upon them, gave forth many of the deep rich colors of Autumn. High above these and wrapped in the "pinkish gray cloak of evening, towered a long chain of mountains. This is the picture we beheld as we gazed over one field in Autumn.
