Summer Dreams.

or all seasons Of the year, commend US TO warm
ripe Summer. We never liked unriped Spring Ia
ded Autumn, or biting Winter The first is too
full OF promises, too changeable and too undeve-
OPed for us; would advise her to wear hoops
or crnoline when she comes next year, to hide her
imperlectous, for she has been terribly Of lat
the second is decidedly passee before we know az v
thing about her. and when she leaves us she is
orally IN state of nakedness; the third is a back
cOld-heRrted fellow, whoseems to be suffering from
the wind on the stomach for he is amazingly gusty
at night. But Summer, joyous Summer, is always
delightful. Like night 1t brings with it repose, TOR
who toll in the dog-da,s?
Editors, 1t is generally known lie upon their
backs In some cool bower, the liye-long day,
sucking sherry cobblors from mexhuustible row Is
and inditng leading articles 10 stray devils in
their service. Every half hour or SO an angel
strolls into the bower and dscourses with the edi-
tor concerning sugar pIums nectarines or peach
es or kisses, or what you will and then goes ON her
way rejoicing.
Ana then the images that Goat before US 10
the Summer time more substantial than those
that came in the Spring. Aerial nothings mere
gossAmers, were then continually disturbing our
equanimity; have something that We can
really si,Zs hold of. The man who married the
200 pounds woman IN order that he might have
something to grasp, was fellow after our own
heart.
Give US bright glowing pictures of life, with the
glorious sun shining full upon It, If we dream, let
II be at such period this, when we can look
back TO the past without repining aud meet the fu
ture with serenity. Lying on our back, with an ex-
ira bower of roses surrounding us aud ang, Is con-
tinually tripping in, as before described, we can
calmly the false Miss Arabella curling her hair
with the sheet OF paper containing those verses
in which We compared her to a dove, (God for
give for being such a gooss) or witness Miss
Matilda fantng 10 the arms of another man,
though we verify believe the rascal will
bring her to gradually with kisses, a proet s.
We have successfully tried on her a score OF
times.
Then the contests between man and man look
less formidable beneath a Summers sun; we begin
10 ieel our own power, and know We must gain a
position in the world that no one but death can
elbow Us out Of On, decidedly the Summer tins
Is the joyous season Of the year, when the birds
sing with ful voice, and every living thing gives
Joy 20 earthl
