/ SONG TO SPRING.

A song 70 the Spring,
Tc the glad young Spring:
Who opens her eyes this morn
By the soft htful light
Oh the Spring sun bright,
Old Winters locks were shorn.
Fareweu, fareweIl-old Winters gone;
! marked him pass away.
And SAD he looked as he fingered IN
In the glance Of Springs brighz ray.
Then sag TO the Spring
To the beautiful Spring,
Who has given this lovely day
Oh Writer has gone
And flowers will bloom
Beneath. the greenwood Tree
In It's branches broad, the birds VIII sing
Sweet carols, bright Spring to thee.
Then welcome the Spring
The gIaasome Spring.

CAMBRIDGE, Monday, April 8, 1850.
DANIEL MARSH, EsQ-Sir this NOR
ming received the very kind letter you ad-
dressed to me and | hasten to answer. to
thank YOU in the name of my mother, nv
sisters, and myself, for the true sentiments
you entertain respecting my beloved faith
er. You believe him innocent. and YOU
believe 1cjtat as true. He is the victim of
circumstances, deeply injured man
That he IS innocent, we. his family. E51Ozc.
and nothing on earth will ever take from
US this conviction. We have never. from
the moment he was snatched from his
home, had shadow of doubt on ourminds:
and, whatever the world may say or do.
we shall ever have that feeling to support
US The knowledge of his innocence sup
ported my father during the hours of suf-
fering IN the Court room. that it is that
the many sources Of sorrow that have over
whelmed Us
Far different from what we anticipated
was the result Of the trial. for we had been
assured throughout the Winter that our
father could not but be restored to us and
that at the trial he must receive Justice
for the many wrongs that had been heap
ed upon him But Justice fed from
the Court room, and Prejudice took her
place
Yet hope still fingers with US, for we
trust that the public voice viii be raised
against the gross injustice that has been
and viii not allow our coun-
try to bear such a stigma on her name
such an everlasting stain, as viii be that
of the sacrifice Of one SO truly innocent
as my father And if one word, Sir, can
add a feathers weight to the efforts that
are being made, Oh. may we give you the
deep assurance Of our hearts. that we feel
grateful for the interest that YOU express
and feel, and for what you are doing in
our behalf May God in his infinite mer-
ey look down upon you, and bless the of-
forts that are being made, and if it Is not
His viii to bring the truth to light. and
TO allow this awful mystery to be explain
ed, may He enlighten the minds Of those
into whose hands the case will pass.
must again thank YOU, Sir. for the
kind feeling you express towards my dear
father. Nothing that the world can do
now gives US greater consolation than the
knowledge that others believe him iuuo-
cent Sympathy has flowed abundantly

House. CLEANISG.-As this is about tha
season when good housewives clean ,heir
houses from cellar TO garret, it may be well
to say few words on the subject When
you wash paint, do not use soft soap and
warm water. for that will take off the paint
as well the dirt. Use cold water and hard
soap. Scrub the floors with soft soap, and do
not putdown tie carpets until the floor is per-
fecty dry. Always put down sorue fine clean
(mind clean straw under the carpet, and lav
it smooth and level. Capets may be cleaned
by pounding them in strong soap-suds and
washing them well out Of the soap. The sud.
must be very strong and cold. This IS done
by cutting down the hard soap ard dissolving
It in warm water. The suds should feel sim
perry between the fingers. Bedsleads should
receive a complete scruhbing with soap and
water, and should not be put up till perfectly
dry. The seams and holes should then be
anointed with corrosive sublimate dissolved
in alcohol OF sulphur mixed with eamphine,
or solution Of the chloride Of zinc. No per-
son should 60 to sleep in damp bedroom.-
Many people by overlooking this caution du-
ring house cleaning season. catch severe colds
and make their beds with the clods Of the vaI-
ley before the subsequent Christn as. Al
ways commence 70 cle2a at the top Of the
house, and descend by steady and regular Sta
ges. Some people clean their houses with
quietness and scarce any disorder, others DO
not do any more work, but make a great deal
Of noise. If there is a dog or cat about the
house, it generally disappears till the squall is
over. The grand rule for facilitating work is
system. Arrange all the work to be done,
and how it is to be done. before commencing.
FIR want Of system many a job has to be done
over and over again.
