STAR.
THE RETURN OF SPRING.
BY WILLIAM JAMES Isle.

BY WILLIAM JAMES Isle.
The glad spring DER the sunny hills
Comes balmy on the southern gale,
And Ikea spirit, signing sfft,
Is tripping through each silent vale.
Though robed In snow the woods and wild,
Though in its valley tomb still lies
The autumn flower, feel the winds
Blow softer now, and the pale skies
Are purer, clearer than before;
The twilight fingers long at even,
ana the storm clouds that shroud It's brow
Hang not so gloomily in heaven.
At night, beneath the quiet SKY,
Look up-the stars look holier,
Like bee con fires Of hope and love,
Each burning in It's lonely sphere.
And when the dawn steals DER the world,
When the bright morn comes on, then go,
When the first sun ray o'ef the hills
Is glitJering or the spangled snow,
Out into nature, and feel free
From winters chain there Is a smile
In the glad sunshine, and the rills
Make music through the forest aisle.
No wood bird from its tropic home
Has quit its isle in CLASSY lake
To loiteT here; yet there are sounds
OF music and Of love, which wake
Us in the morning, and at night
Lingsr around US, whispering
In tones familiar to our ears,
Ofb4lmy days and the young spring.

ness was dangerous for him, but he could not
be persuaded to abandon it. These (many)
sudden deaths from spoplexy, among bust
