10 the Editors # the Tribune and Telegraph:
The tender beautiful Spring is here We
inhaie it. We wrap ourselves in its loneliness
its sweetness, as with garment. The morn
ing stars sing for joy, and in mathis and YES
pers the birds shout their praise and alteration
for all this life and beauty. And our hearts
are they inging? Bow wonderful is the in
nate consciousness of life we possess at this
season; and how with the upshaotine of the
tender grass, the song of birds, and this dawn
of coming glory, ths inner life of ours seems to
expand, to bloom, and to pour out songs! The
spirit listens and learns. 1t catches here
snatch music from the birds, and the silver
tones vibrate and swell till perfect harmony
OF love and Thanksgiving goes upward from it
to the gate of Heaven.
And, let there be praise; the blessed,
faithful Spring comes to us in the city as we'll as
to these in the country. Dust covered and stone
covered though the streets may be, yet here and
there, little, green face looks up at us from be-
tween the stones, as though il loves us and
knew the thirst in our heart fer the refreshing
green of Spring and away up above us is UNI
rolled the amethyst of Heaven-a deep, blue
glory, high, grand, peaceful Our soul scars
up to it, and we walk in the marvellous light"
The generous rain and warm sun are calling the
sleeping flowers up to the earth. Our uncom-
mon common is clad in green, and dainty,
green fingers are pressing the earth from the
flowers faces, and they come up from their
sombre, brown tombs full of perfumed praise.
The warm hands of the April sun have unlock
ed the prison doors of the trees, and the Sleep
ing hearts within are leaping out knowing it is
time to bloom, and now are weaving drapery
of Giving green about their prison.
Nature is at work busly, and man emulates
her The land in the Back Bay grows rapidly,
and buildings spring up like magic. The star
of empire SOUTHWARK takes its way. KRow-
ing this, our Postmaster, Nahum Capen-you
know-removed the P. o. from State st. south
to Summer St. without "By your leave" to
the Merchants Exchange Company SO
they made grand fuss about his speculation,
which at last so thickened about him that he de-
cided to call at the 'head quarters So cur
Postmaster posted to Washington, and now on
his return he announces that he is ''PERMITTED
to remove the Office to State ST. if the company
eet the requirements demanded of them by
government So it is presumed that by the
LIST of May, Uncle Sam will deposit his eastern
mail in the same old dark building as before
Our republicans listened last evening to the
ardent, refreshing eloquence of noted Wiscon-
sinite-Carl Shurz Esq. Fanueil Hall was filled
and large portion of those assembled were ev-
dently ofTeutonic origin. Hon. Henry Will
son presided, and upon taking the chair he said
they had met to greet one of the most eloquent
champions of republcanism in the North West
an adopted son of proud free Wisconsin.
Ther61sa feather for your cap from Massachu-
sets. At 81 o'clock Mr.. Shurz came forward
amid enthusiastic greetings He commenced
with review of the past, and enuncated the
various struggles and successive advances of
liberty in the old world, attributing their pro-
gress to the Anglo-Saxon spirit. No other race
than the Anglo-Saxon could have formed the
stern democracy of the Plymoth Colony. He
descantad upon the despotic tendency of the
slave-holding system. Mr. Schurz deems the
most formidable danger to American liberty to
be the sacrifice of principles to expediency aud
local successes-a doctrine no less despotic than
the craft of monarchs. The noble doctrines of
equal rights were enlarged upon and an august
tribute of praise to Charles Sumner closed this
portion of his thsme. Mr.. Schurz denies that
he has interfered in the local politics of Massa-
chusetss. After remsrking upon the position
of Wisconsin in the political world. the orator
closed at 20 minutes to 10 o'clock. His elo-
quence seems to inspire the audisnce with
new enthusiasm, and he was greeted with six
cheers at the conclusion of his speech.
We cannot close without reminding you that
this is the anniversary of the Battle of Licking
ton. The United States, as they now line un-
der their constitution, date their birth from the
10Th of April 1775' The torch of independence
had been lighted before, but here it received the
fuel which was to make it burn and grow
brighter unto the perfect day of victory and as
to-day will be celebrated with fitting rejoicings
at Lexington, and the brave, devoted men who
yielded up their lives to the cause of civil and
religious liberty, laying time, talents and ener-
gles upon the the alter of their country, will
| be praised and exalted for their staunch I'M
tiinching patriotism Eternal sunshine settle
ON their heads" Yours
