and thinks, when the Spring comes, with a
more delicate expression. In the winter he had
skated, or he ought to have skated, roared over
good Jokes, and enjoyed, when he was shut up
indoors, concentration of home iollity. Mans
general sympathy with external objects is, in
the presence of Spring, whoesomely set in ac

Spring is said to begin in March meteorolo,
gists say on one day, astronomers say on an
other day; but say that Spring 1852 began
in November, 1851. Spring has the Yankee
blood in her, and has annexed Winter Or, al
least, is infusing Spring temper into it, with
a view to ultimate annexation. However, lie,

know; but all his boast seems to be taken on

Down the long winding lane over the broad

the gem-like flowers that were the playthings
of our childhood-that lured us, years ago,
through the dewy dell. When we look at them,
we call to mind how our hands in their first
