THE TWO APRILs.


Young April treads light in the woodland,
And smiles through her tears in the lane,
And the sun Of the old, old spring-tide
Falls warm on the cheek again.
The breath of the old dead breezes
That blew In the face of the boy,
Greens back from my life's faded meadows
with whispers Of hope and of JOY.
The larks that heard in my childhood,
Hid deep in the bending blue,
Sing yet Of the same old heaven,
Till that heaven comes almost true;
Sing vet Of the loving and longing
Ior the beauty Of far OF skies,
Ofthe pleasures that spring like flowers
Round the steps Of the gentle and rise.
And wake from my dead despairing
Like trembling child at night
And lol through the darkness Of sorrow,
Hope walks with her calm glad light;
And still, as she passes by me,
see my pale dreams revive,
And the JOY and the courage of spring. time
Make the dead cold heart revive.
. world thou art surely Youthful
But the sapling shall grow tree:
Thou too hast a soft green April
Shall bring great summer to thee.

An INCIDENT OF THE INAUGURATION One
of the Representatives in Congress reports
an interesting and rather funny incident of
the Inauguration, which, not having seen
in print, We record. On approaching the
platform where be was to take his oath and
be indicted into the Office of Chief Execu-
tive, Mr.. Lincoln removed his hat and held
it in his hand as he took the seat assigned
him. The article seemed to be burden
He changed 1t awkwardly from one hand to
the other, and finally, despairng of finding
for Il any other easy position, deposited It
On the platform beside him. Senators and
Judges crowded in, and to make room for
them, he removed nearer the front of the
stage, carrying his tile with him. Again it
was handled uneasily, and as Senator Baker
approached to introduce him to the audi
ence, he made motion as If to replace the
tile on the stage, under the seat. when
Douglas, who had been looking on quietly.
and apparently with some apprehensions Of
q catastrophe to the hat, said, "permit me,
sir" aud gallantly took the vexatious arti-
Gle, and held it during the entire reading of
the Inaugural! Douglas must have reflected
pretty seriously during that half hour. that
instead of delivering an inaugural address
from that portlcO, he was holding the hat
of the man who was.
