that until he was thirty years old he

THE BIRDS OF SPRING.

Sing on by fame and forest old,
By tombs and cottage caves,
And tell the waste Of coming flowers,
The wood Of coming leavesi
The same sweet song that DER Che birth
or earliest blossoms rang,
And caught Us music from the hymn
The stars Of morning sang.
II hailed the radiant path Of Spring,
BY stream and valley fair,
And o'er the earih's green hill-tops, when
No step but hers was there;
And like the Iaurel's git Of green,
The violet's depth Of blue,
Il has survived a thousand thrones,
And yet the song is new.
New as we heard it I'm the years
Whose memories stHl are young,
When life's FIRST rainbow O'er the path
It's arch Of glory flung!
That visioned light has melted long,
From hearts whose hopes have met
The shower and shadow; but your strains
Are loved and trusted yet,
They come when sunsets lying lines,
or morn ing's waking smiles
Light up The mountains rocky shriness
The lonely forest aisles.
Our souls, from all their early store,
Have kept one answering tone
or joy, to greet each gushing song
With gladness like IFS own.
There have been harps among us strung
u seemed beside "the tree
or Jfe," where oil the flowers we sought,
Or dreamt Of, yet might be;
But early fell the hush Of death
On each unwearied string,
That caught, though from ufar, the dew
or everlasting Spring.
o blest in true aud fearless love!
o free Of earth and air!
For whom the past has no regret,
The all TO come no care!
Sill, from its Summers far away,
To the worn heart ye bring
its early store Of love aud hope
Sweet prophet-birds Of Springs

Pixies Peak

Pixies Peak and the mountains
around ft have been called the apex Of
North America, and their hight may bo
imagined when it Is recolleoted that Eve
giant rivers, running in four opposite
directions, have their sources in this re-
gion-the Green and GTando rivers,
which are tributaries Of the Colorado,
and which wend their course TO the
Gulf Of California; the Rio Grandor
which empties into the Mezican Gulf
the Platte river, which flows into the
Missouri; and the Arkansas, which
ompties into the Mississippi From
the brow Of Pixies Peak the springs
from which these Eve rivers rise can bo
seen. Enthusiasts contend that ia this
rich region the invaluable deposits eX-
ist from which the California as we'll as
the Kansas and Nebraska placers, have
been supplied by the river washiug5.-
This is probably but an idle dream, or
the fancy of spectators in Pixies Peak
town lots or travelling lines leading TO
the point; but it is an indication Of tho
excited state of feeling existing.
Vague reports Of gold in the Pixies
Peak country have been in circulation
for twenty years. and it is said that the
Indians, when they saw the overland
emigrants on their way to California,
years ago, declared that the "pale faces
were fools for travelling so far for dust,
when plenty of il could be found in the
gulches of the Bow and Park Noun
/ tains"

An Eloquent Extract.

Generation after generation have felt
as we do now, and their lives were as ac
tive as our own. The heavens shall be
as bright over our graves as they are
around our paths. Yet a little while
and all this will have happened, The
throbbing heart will be stilled, and we
shall be at rest. Our funeral will weud
its way, and the prayers will be said, and
we shall be left in the darkness and ST.
lcnce of the tomb. And it may be that
for a short time VIC shall be spoken Of,
but the things Of life shall creep on and
our names will be forgotten, Days will
continue to move on, and laughter and
songs will be heard in the room where
we died; and the eye that mourned for
us will be dried and animated with joy,
and even our children will cease to think
of us, and will remember to lisp our
names no more.

Some persons "hoot' at dreams, but
thore is a deep significance in them,
rightly interpreted; e. g.: To dream Of
cabbage is a SIGN that you haven't paid
your tailor's bill. To dream of moske.
toes biting you is sign that your
creditors are about to present their bills
to you. IF you dream of empty pock-
cts it is pretty likely you arc to become
an editor. To dream of an inclination
to commit suicide, betokens your mar
riage to scolding woman. To dream
of feeling exceedingly thirsty, is hint
that you take too many "sniftors."

Franklin,a Toast.

Long after Washingtons victories
over the English and French had made
his name familiar to all Europe, DR..
Franklin chanced to dine with the Eng
lish and French Ambassadors, when, as
nearly as We can recolect the following
toasts were drunk:
"Eugland--The S,m, whose bright
beams enlighten and fructify the re-
motest parts of the earth.
The French Ambassador, glowing
with national pride, but too polite to
dispute the previous toast, drank:
"France-The Noon, whose mild,
steady, and cheering rays are the de-
light of all nations, consoling them in
their darkness, and making their dreari-
ness beautiful"
DIR. franklin then arose, and with his
usual simplicity said:
George Wushington--The Joshuo,
who commanded the Sun and Noon TO
stand still, and they obeyed him"
