and are not ofsufficient abundance to make systematicmining profitable. The localities whereDiamonds have been found in the Stateof Wisconsin, in this country, are on theterminus of a moraine which came fromthe North, somewhere in the region ofHudsons Bay. It is hence not improb-able that the mother lode will someday be found there. Finally it is interesting to know thatDiamonds occur in meteorites, and hencedoubtless exist in other worlds than ours. Oliver Cummings Farrington. INDIAN SUMMER, With your hazv distances.And your fine insistences, Of russet, amber, brown.From vv^hat region dost thou journeyHither to our fields a-tourney. Flinging thy dim gauntlet down?Dost thou come from Southern seas?Or from mountain fastnesses ? Ho, we call thee Indian Summer,O thou late and languid comer. Loitering our forest aisles;Idling with the sunshine dreamy,As with wandering a-weary, Chary, ever, of thy smiles.Thou hast come to claim the glamourOf the dear, departed Summer. -M. D. TOLMAN. 176 $
