THE trimming of shade trees Is obviously right for several reasons. But great care should be exercised that they be properly trimmed. In the hands of boys and inexperienced men, great damage may be done to the appearance of our beautiful shade treee. Already
AUTUMN FANCIES.
Autumn leaves. Shut the door." The quail is looking for Bob Hoy t. Autumnal tints are now fashionable. Now the cannibal cow eats her fodder. Autumnal poems hay*begun pouring in.
Old Boreas has blown his first trumpet. Blank tbatfelaiik stove pipe to blank ety blank.
The housefly is putting up shutters for the season. The granaries will soon be corned that is to say full.
It is now nip with the air ihd tuck with the bed clothes. Now extravagant clerks consume their celery at a single meal.
The fiendish yell of the base-ballist will soon come to a short stop. When tho scorns begin to drop slabsided porkers laugh with fatness.
If croquet sets are not picked Boon they will drop of their own aocord. The trees are undressing and will soon stand shivering in their bare limbs.

Now furs are taken out from their summer hiding places, and the tearful sneeze of be-peppered noses is heard in the land.
The lingering mosquito tuneth his harp, fondly fancying that, like Hezekiab, "backward runs the shadows of his days.
Now the grain fields swept of their billowy gold, look up sombre and sere, while quail and chicken whistle and whirr around the stubble.
This is the weather that makes the fly, but recently so agile, fall languidly by the way side, and ever and anon drops be into your cup of coffee.
With all its sad beauty—its hues ot mingled gold and green—its russet and crimson tints, and its unmistakable signs of death and decay—autumn is the season for fun and healthful(recreation. $
As the mornings grow cool, and win ter draweth near, a matin song steals oft and sweetly from your neighbor's win dows, after this fashion, "Sam, if you don't get up and come down to breakfast, I'll wallop the skin off of you."
COVER THE BODY CLOSELY/
And Remember Your Neighbor who is Unable to Comply with This Wanting. It is highly important, owing to the sudden changes of climate, that the entire body and limbs be well covered during the flail, winter and spring months.
In dressing children this precaution ought particularly to be remembered. Their clothing should meet in such a way as to leave no chance of bare skin, for saoques and overshoes are mockeries if the knees are uncovered. Ai for short stockings, they are sltnply traps for disease. They may be safe in July, but the obllly nights of autumn ought to warn all mothers to put them away. After the skin is covered the clothing may be light or heavy, as the wearer needs but as a simple matter of oomfort a complete suit of warm underwear and long stockings do more for women aad children in the way of protection from ooughs and oolds than all furs, flannels and wraps they can possibly put on. Soon will oome the season of snow and ioe, and every Mail patron knows that "an ounoe of prevention is worth a pound of cure." While we admonish all to dress sufficiently warm, yet we will have many In and aronnd this city who have not the means to comply with the admonition. To those surrounded by plenty and well enveloped in the neoessary underwear, we say, hunt up the destitute families in your neighborhood and see that the bodies of their little ones are not unprotected. Hundreds and hundreds of families In our city can each contribute to the health and comfort of those in oar midst who are almost oertaln to be in need. We have scriptural authority for Hying: The poor ye have always."
FEW cities of like aise can boast of better dry goods houses or more enterprising proprietors that exist in this city. The same is true of ladles' notion and furnishing houses. This enterprise on the part of our merchants has enabled oar ladies to col Urate taste that has gained for them reputation, and for our oity an extensive trade. Now the fell and winter styles are appearing in the market, and the next thirty days will try the pocket books of husbands and fathers. When we come to look at the handsome displays of female wearing apparel in our stores, we cannot wonder at the feminine mind going wild over the temptations put before them, for even to the uncultivated eye of the sterner sex the new feshions are simply ravishing, and It la not bud to under stand bow admiration oan run away with prudence. There can be no reasonable objection to people dressing In taste and elegance, for where such Is the esse
