June, with its roses-June!
The gskdest month Of our capriciOus year,
With its thick foliage aud its sunlight clear;
And with the drowsy tune
vi the bright lespng waters, as they pass
Langhngly on amid the springiug grass!
Earth, at her joyous coming
smiles as she puts Der gayest mantle on;
ana nature greets her with benson;
Whiie myriad voices, hummiug
Their welcome song, breathe dreamy music round
TIL seems the air an element Of sound.
The over.arching sky
Weareth softer tint, lovelier blue
As if the light Of heaven melting through
Its sapphire home on highi .r.
Hiding the sushine in Their vapory breasts
The clouds hoat on Ike spirits to their rest
deeper melody,
Pourd by the birds, as DER their calow young
Walchful they hover to the breeze is flung
Gladsome, yet not CT glee--
Music heart born, like that which mothers sing
Above their Graded infants slumbering
On the warm hill side, where
Inc sunlight fingers latest, through the grass
feepstht the luscious strawberry! As they pass,
Young children gambol there
Crushing the gather'd fruit in playful mood,
And staining their bright faces VITA its blood.
deeper blush is given
To the halEfpened cherry, as the sun
Day after Jay pours warmth the trees upon,
Tillthe rich pulp is riYen;
The truauS schoolboy looks with longing eyes
And perils limb and neck to win the prize
The farmer in his field,
Draws The rich mould around the tender maize;
While Hope, bright piniond, points to coming days,
When all his toll shall yield
An ample harvest, and around his hearth,
There shall be laughing eyes and tor, OF mrth.
Poised on his rainbow wing,
The butterfly, whose life is but an hour,
Hovers coquetishly from flower to h1Wer,
gay and happy thing,
Born for the sunshine and the summer day.
Soon passing, like the beautiful, away!
These are thy pictures, June!
brightest Of summer month8-thou month Of doWersI
First-5oin of beauty, whose swift footed hours
Dance to the merry tune
OF birds, and waters, and the pleasant shout
Of childhood on the sunny hills pealed out
feel il were not wrong
To deem thou art a type Of Heavens clime,-
Only that there the clouds and storms Of time
Sweep not the sky alone;
The Observation-Disclosures are thine
But er-purer-loveer-more divine!

REPUBLICAN CAUCUS IN BosToN.--Thern was
a very fair attendance at the Republican caucus
held at Chapman Hall, in Boston, on Thursday
evening, for the appointment of delegates to the
Republican Convention to be held in this city on
the oath inst, and the proceedings were harmoni.
Gus and spirited, says the Journal. A list of
eighty delegates was appointed. about evenly di
vided as to the nomination Of Banks. While the
nominating committee were out, the convention
was addressed by Mr.. Charles G. Davis of Ply
mouth, and MIR. Thomas Drew of Worcester, both
of whom came out in the strongest terms against
any further truck and dicker with any party, and
in favor of nominating men for ofice--and only
such--as stand squarely and unequivocally upon
the Philadelphia platform. This sentiment was
warmly applauded by the meeting, and was sub
sequently embodied in the following resolution
offered by A. NJ. McPhail, Jr.
ReSolUed, That the delegates appointed by this
meeting to represent us in the Republican Con-
vention, to be held at Worcester on the oath inst
be instructed to put in nomination as candidate
for Governor no man not known to be true and
t'acon.pronsisi'lg Republican, standing squarely
and unequivocally upon the Philadelphia plat
form OF 1896, and on no other.

INGENIoUs.-A young man of eighteen
years, in prison at Paris for theft, has made a
watch Of straw. This little masterpiece is
two and half inches in diameter, about half
an inch thick, and will go for three hours
without winding up. The dial plate is of
paper and pretty straw chain is attached to
the whole. The instruments and materials
the prisoner had at his command were two
needles, pin, little straw, and thread.
Several persons of distinction, moved by this
surprising genius for mechanics are now en-
deavoring to obtain his liberation.

The Worcester Spy says Mr.. Banks is a man
who never gave an anti-slavery vote, who never
made an anti-slavery speech, who never uttered
40 anti'slayery sentiment, who makes politics a
trade, and with whom trade means tricks-who
was first Democratic and Free Soil candidate
for office, next Free Soil aud Know Nothing can

To this we reply, that we have made no such
charge against Mr. Banks. We merely drew the
picture of man whom it would be very unfit for
all true freedom-loving men to support for Gov

man, then that paper itself, with all its profess
sons, should repudiate him

at Cincinnati on the 18th. A number Of de-
positions were received Of a rebutting charac-

Elliot previously given, to the effect that no
excess was committed by the Marshal's posse.
Some Of the afhdavits went to show that the
FIRST attempt at firing came from the sheriff 3
party. Attorney General Wolcott, on behalf
Of the State and sheriff, asked for an adjourn
ment in order to take other dispositions. This
was objected to, and a compromise made to
the effect that rebutting testimony might be
introduced at further day. Senator Pugh
then commenced his argument in behalf Of
the marshal and others. He closed Thursday
