I Yearn for SpYinp.

yearn for the spring, when the birds shall sing,
And each morning awake fresh flowers;
We have waited long for the lark's blthe song,
And the lengthening evening hours.
A shroud of snow had lain on the earth.
An icy hand on each stream,
The sun in the sky oped its languid eye,
And sent but sickly CLEAN;
And the frosty breeze moaned among the trees,
And the rattling hail and rain
Came sweeping past, in the angry blast,
And dashed 'gainst the window-pane
And never flower, in that stormy hour,
Dared raise up its tiny head
For all gentle things fled on summers wings,
Or else meath the snow lay dead.
ye&rn for the spring. when tTh birds shall sing,
And each morn shall awake flowers;
We have listened long for the woodlarks song,
And the thrush at the evening hours.
'Tis beauteous time when the bud first bursts,
And child-like the young leaf stands,
And catches the drops of the gentle shower
In its small and velvety hands
When the tender grass feels the south wind pass
In its chariot unseen,
And old mother earth, at the new springs birth,
Arrays her in robes of green
When the unbound stream, as if in dream,
Murmur's on to its unknown home,
And tells the tall reeds it onward speeds,
That fair lady spring hath come !
0, yearn for the spring-for the balmy spring
Who floats like fairy queen,
And toucheth the land with magic wand
Till all beauteous things are seen.
l long to be out in the early dawn,
When the eastern light is new, ..
'Mong the odors borne from the scented thorn,
And the showers of slvery dew.
O, I cannot tell how my soul doth swell
With an inward happiness;
For simply to be is bliss to me.
For which my God bless force
From unknown source comes nameless
Which pervades my being through
4 ioy mud n love. and strength from above.
And I seem to be made anew.
O, come then, spring-let the woodlark sing
Let the howret ope its eye;
Like the lark I'd soar to the heavens blue floor
Like the flower, gaze up to the sky.

BEING A GENTLEMAN.-One very frequent

man 'can be gentleman when he pleases." "

when he pleases,' never pleases to be any ythng
else.

THE MASONIC GRIP.-At the recent festi-
val of the Provincial Grand Lodge, at Glas-
gov, Sir Archibald Allison, the historion,
mentioned that during the assault on the Re-
dan, small party of soldiers led up to one
of the guns placed in recess, were received
by body of Russians and the English officer
was about to be bayoneted, when CHANGING
to catch the hand Of the Russian officer, he
had presence of mind enough to give him a
mason's grip. The Russian in a moment
struck up the bayonet Of his soldier, led his
newly-found brother to the rear, and treated
him with all the kindness of Mason.

The late Minister Plenipotentiary of Peru
to the United States, who returned 20 that
country about six months ago, died lately in
Lima in singular manner. While asleep
he swallowed three of his false teeth, with the
gold which confined them, and died from the
effects shortly after. Efforts were made to
extract the teeth, but without success.

A RAILROAD TRAIN RUNNING AwAY.-The
Syracuse Standard learns that one of the To-
comotives on the Binghampton road ran a.
way from Homer with a freight train on mon
day last. The engineer ane all hands had
left the train for few moments, when some-
thing set the steam working and off started
the iron horse with his heavy train, at the
rate of fifteen or twenty miles an hour, with
out human being on board. After running
about seven miles the engine stopped for want
of steam, without having done the least
damage. The engineer and conductor fol-
lowed, with horse and buggy, and after ira
yelling about seven miles overlook their run
away train.

A BARBARIsM.-The term Kris hringle is
horribly barbarous imitation of a German
barbarism, into which an English ear has led
many of our newspaper editors and writers.
ChriSt-kindlein or Christ-hindchen, is the
German proper for Christ-child, or infant
Christ. Many Germans have corrupted it
into Christ kintle-particularly in Pennsyl-
vania. This is bad enough, but to corrupt it
still more, and remove it utterly away from
all semblance to the original, is too bad
" Kris Kringle," as name for the Babe of
Bethlehem, is neither English nor bad Ger
man, but mere jargon or gibberish of the
vilest kind-and when the facts are known,
sounds like ribaldry.

THE DEVIL NEcEssARY.-Brigham Young,
in sermon to his Mormon brethren, preach
ed the necessity of devil-a real scare-crow
devil. He held that, but for devil to whip
the sinners in with, through their fears, it is
possible that not a soul could be saved, not
withstanding the advent of Christ 1t is the
devil says Brigham. that is after the sinners
with 90 sharp stick" to work out their sal
vation-and he makes more saints than every
other agency combined. At first this struck
us as an unusually large credit mark to his
Infernalship but on reflection, we do not see
that Brigham looks to the devil for saving
help any more than the various sectarians
who teach the existence and potency of Sa-
tan. They all make him a corner one, prop
and pilar-a sort of prime essential wheel
in the divine economy. Brigham is devil
Iishly orthodox.

You have noticed the fact that vast ma
ny tall ladies stoop. whilst great many short
ones are straight. This arises, | think, from
the table at which they sit to work or study
being the medium height--far too low for a
.all person, and about right for short person.
This should be carefully corrected and regard
ed, so that each lady may occupy herself a a
table suited to her height, and thus prevent
the possibility or the necessity of stopping

lvoRY.-Few of our lady readers, while
they peep SO bswitchingly over the tips of
their ivory fans, or ply their fingers so MIN
bly, and gracefully over the white keys of the
piano, are wont to cast a thought towards
the manner in which this material is procur-
ed the quantities Of it which are annually
used, and the number of noble animals which
are annually slain for the purpose of supply
ing the constantly increased demand. Mr..
Dalton. celebrated Shelf Id manufact turer,
estimates that the annual consumption Of
ivory in the town of Sheffield alone is about
l9O tons equal in valu, to 100000, and re-
quiring the lab0rs of 800 persons to work it
up for trade. The number of tusks to make
up this amount of ivory is 45000 and ac-
cording to this the number of elephants
slaughtered every year for the supply of the
Sheffield market is %, 800. Bat supposing
some tusks to be cast, and some animals to
have died natural death. it may fairly b.
estinated that IS 00J are killed for tn, pa
pose.

Vera Cruz Bombarded.
New YORK, March, 5

INV ORhJ oAoAShB ""
Details Of the latest Mexican news, via
New York, are quite interesting.
From Vera Cruz it is stated that the
San Juan De-UIloa pronounced in favor
of Tamirez on the night of the 12ih, and
on the 18th notified the city that if it
did not surrender by noon that it would
be bombsrded. AT half-past eleven the
city not having surrendered, fire was
opened upon it by the Castle, which
lasted an hour. Two persons were
wounded, and some little damage done
to the buildings.
On the 18th, the French frigate Pene-
lope came up from S~acraicio, and is
anchored between the Castle and the
city. Nothing further occurred until the
18th, when the war steamer Guerrero
came in to tow out the national ship
Gaudaloupe, and the the Castle fired
into her neal fifteen minutes, five shots
took effect, killing the first Lieutenant
and four men, and wounding several
others.
Meantime a bomb from Santiago fell
in the Castle, blowing up an ammunition
chest, killing aud wounding 16 men.
On the goth, at half past FIVE P. NJ,
the Castle surrendered to the city.
Before the commencementofth the firing,
the shipping took refuge at Sacra6cio,
but returned to their anchorage on the
21st. The national vessel Gludaloupe
and the steamship Ben. Franklin re-
manned at their moerings. Most of the
families left for villages in the neighbor-
hood during the firing.
