POETRY.
Spring.

Spring is waking, spring is breaking,
From her long and deep repose.
Like maiden-beauty is she,
As her tresses wild she throws
To the kissing
Breeze that greets them
With rapture born of bliss
Lovely spring, smiling spring!
Nymph of winning form and grace,
Hither fling
Thy brightest glances,
Hither bring
What grace enhances:
Thy native wiles and laughing smiles,
And cast thy ambient breath around us,
As though it were sea that bound US,
Of that fabled nectar old,
With its virtues all untold
When let them act, each as charm,
To chase old winters frowns away
To stir the earth with throbbngs warm,
And sing thy praise through Natures lay.

very gently, and the bright hair and eyes
were the same as ever. She turned and
caught one glimpse of his face and she
knew instantly that it was her husband
Time could hang no veil upon that coun-
tenancc which her love could not pierce
through.

a slander upon the ''knobbers - in

there is region so rocky and rough that
the people do most of their hauling on Il
