The Return of Spring.


 Dear as the dove, whcse waiting wing The green leat ransomed from the main, Thy genial glow, returning Spring, Comes to our chores againi For thou hast been wanderer long, On many fair and foreign sirand, In balm and beauty, sun and song, Passing from land tO land. Thou bring'st the bloss,ms 10 the bee. To earth robe of emerald dye, The leafet to the raked tree. .-.--- And rainbow in the sky; ! feel thy bI.st benign control The pulses of my youth restore; Opening the spring of sense and soul. To love and joy once more Twin not people thy green bowers With sorrows pale and spectre bandi nr hland win thine the faded flowers or memory'S distant land; Ia For thou vert surely never gwen To wake regre, rem pleasure gone; But like an angel sent from Heaven. To soothe creaiion's grcan. Then, whilethe ground thy garland twine, Thy spirit breathes in flower and tree, My heart shali kindle at thy shrine, s And worship God in thee; l'a i2 And in some calm, sequestered spot, While listening 10 thy choral strain, Past griefs shall be awhile forgot And pleasure bloom again.

Henry Clay.

Mr, Clay is now about seventy i've years old--an age at which few men retain their faculties unimpaired, their spirits unbroken. nor the aptitude for severe and Protracted
 labor. Yet. intrinsically regarded, there is
 hardly younger member of the American
 Senate. Adyersity does not depyess nor unexpected peril perplex him. The ego tism and the garrulay of Age are never .eyinced in his speeches nor his conversit> lions In the ffankness and grace of lis
 manner, in the buoyancy and frequentgayy> .ety of his spirits, intl'e salaciity to do and dare ,wherewith he breasts every labor and courts every responsibility, are leylncedefhe courage and energy of unyanquished youth. Though forty five years have elapsed since he first entered the. Senate.;an every one of those who were compatriots of his first service in that body have long since gone .ethe way of all the eartll," yet lie is 10 day as alert and vigorous as natyea a man twenty years younger.
