The winter winds and storms are past
The surly blasts are blown,
The voice of spring is heard ut last
In blithe and Joyous tone;
The little streams, from frost set Tree,
With paddencd music sing:
Tho south wind comes with songs oil gee,
To welcome IN the spring
The hear, OF earth It's foliage wide
Infolds like summers rose;
Though wood and stream quickening tide
OF life and beauty flows.
The light OF May is on the tky,
Its sunshine on the wing
While Winters shades and shadows ~
To welcome in the Spring.
The flowers are gently springlng up
On hillside and on lawn
The daisy and the bu,tercup
Breathe in the balm OF morn;
The rils and brooks soft answer make
To birds on soaring wing,
The mingled strains OF Nature wake
To welcome in the Spring
list me to the cheering song
OF robin and the wren,
The knocking bird and Jocund throng
OF warbers in the glen
The winds and ssphyrs TOO rejoice
While every living thing
On earth outpours grateful voice
To welcome in the Spring.

my has shown itself very sensible to all these
attentions, and its attitude is visbly different
to what it generally was before the return Of
his Holiness. There is, besides, something
even to the most Indifferent in the idea, in
the very name Of the Pope. The return of
Plus TX. is thus, it must be said, sa,isiac-
ton given to the army and TO France"
The Roman correspondent of the London
Times speaks of the French troops as great
ly elated by the treatment received from .he
Pope and says that before the arrival Of his
Holiness the army were very little impressed
with the soemnity Of the ceremonial in which
they were TO play SO pre-eminent part
but since they have had opportunity of
observing the respect, amounting TO awe,
with which the Pontin' was received by the
Prelates, the Minister, and great officers Of
State, there has been visible reaction. The
men used to pass the carriages of the Cardi-
mails withou. any signs of respect now eve
ry one salues as they pass, and pass they do
in numbers t. c streets are alive with the
old-fashioncd, massive, Gothic structures in
which the Princes Of the Church take the
air
A plan is on foot for a special blessing TO
be given to the army by his Holiness. The
troops were 10 be collected in st. Peters
Place, and then to march by the Pope and
receive his blessing
The same correspondent says;
The first impression in the city certainly
was that the reception Of the Pope was very
respectful but cold. Now there is change
in public opinion, and men augur well from
the absence of boistorous demonstrations and
wild excitement Certainly, every thing
considered, the Pope may congratulate him
self on his triumph, and this appears 10 be
the universal feeling and most especially is
he justified in doing SO, for it appears that
very formidable move of the Republican
party was intended. Every thing depended
on the attitude of the French army. The
conspirators were disconnected ut the inter
est expressed in every countcnancc, and
Judged it wiser not to risk the chance at that
moment, but to live and hatch more treason

alarm. For that reason be is constantly

in early youth, has degree Of acute an
