T7sE COMING OF THE SPRING.

The am'rous sunbeams round her fair form shining,
And borne on balmy breathings of the South (her,
She comes fair Spring her robes draped around
Like Venus rising from the foam of Ocean,
Fresh as the morning and dvineiy fair.
The torpid frame of nature, at her coming,
Thro' all its languid pulses feels thrill;
It's frozen waters wake to life and motion,
And pour their floods from rivulet and rill.
From out the woods, all newly decked in verdure,
The feathered songsters, rousing one by one,
Pour forth their long hushed strains ofsweeest music
As Memnons statue to the rising sun. &.
Beneath her feet sweet flowers newly springing,
The meadows dress themselves in living green;
The tender leaflets, too, assume the verdure,
Reflected from her garments dewy sheen,
Fen animated nature bids her welcome
Tn Joyous frsk, in busy hum song
Beast, bird and insect join in grateful chorus,
And fields and woods the cheerful notes proong.
Mankind, too, bids thee welcome, joyous season
OF time the farest and the earliest born
We find in thee an emblem Of our spring time,
The bloom and freshness of lifes early dawn.
All soon, like thine, its verpal freshness whers,
And the fierce sun Of passion willis its bloom
And then the chill blasts of dreary winter,
And then--anotter spring beyond the tomb re

'How is it you raise so large and fine on

was sitting at the table with him, and obser-
wing some on the table.
"Well,' said he, sprout the seed with
boiling water, and then plant it early in good
groupd.
"Sprout the seed in boiling water?' ex-
claimed, inquiringly. "What do You mean,
sir, by that. Won't boiling water kill the
seei?"
"Not at all" he replied; "but it will
sprout them in one minutes time.
''Itwll Ii looks incredible Ireplied
with surprise.
"WiIl you try it." he replied, "whcn the
time comes to plant, and you will find il
just as tell you?''
And sure enough, when spring came, my
neighhor was planting his onion seeds, and
being present sail
"Jewell, last winter there was man told
me- that to pour boiling water OF onion seed
would sprout it in one minuts. Suppose
you try it"
Every well" said he.
And taking the teakettle boiling from the
stove, be poured the water on the seed, which
he had in a tea saucer Looking closely at
it for a moment he exclaimed
"My conscience! you have told rightly
Only look a-taere F.
looked ana behold the little sprouts
about as large as horse-hairs We're sprouting
out of the opened end of the seeds lie
did not retain the water on the seed above
three seconds and in less than one half min
ute after it was poured off, the sprouts were
projected from the seeds.
My Iowa friend assured me that the pro-
cess would advance the growth ofthe onion

From remarks which we frequently hear,
as TO the pecuniary value to the ncumbents
of our largest post Offices, it is evident that
the subject is about as little understood as
any other connected with the Post Office
matters For instance, quite an intelligent
merchant insisted, in our hearing, that the
New York Post Office was worth 'sall the way
from $4,000 to SIS, 900 per annum to the
Post Master" The facts are simply these ::
This matter of the compensation of Post
Masters is entirely regulated and controlled
by law. All Offices wher. the commi> sions
amount to $4,000 and upward, are desiena-
ted as salery offices, $4,000 being the maxi.
mum pay allowed from that source, and an
additional $4,000 to be taken out of the re-
ceipts for box rents-making $4,000 the
highest compensation to any Post Master.
A larger sum than this cannot be realized
without rcsorting to acts made criminal and
felonious by laws of Congress, and puni>ha-
ble by the severest penalties. Even were a
OSt hdSlSi iliCIlucu ~ tdNt liic TIsh vi SUCH
penalties, as well as the ruin Of private and
official character, such are the checks and
restraints now enforced, that the ''pickings
and stealings" which many outsiders so
hippantly talk about, are entirely out of
hequestion. And ifit we're not so, the in
dulgences in such practices would involve
rersury, as postmaster is required to make
oath that he has kept nothing from the gov
ernment in the way of fees or emoluments
of any kind to which he is not legally enti-
tied. II will thus be seen that the New York

FANNY HALL.

The sweetest girl of all know
Is charming Fanny Hail.,
The widest at the husking,
The gayest at ball,
Her cheek is like Jersey peach,
Her eye is blue and clear,
And her lips is like the surnac,
In the Autumn of the year.
Canova never made hand
Like hers so plump and fair;
Poor Raphael had been crazed with her
Madonna brow and hair;
And I'm inclined to think If Powers
Could see her he would grieve,
To find romping Yankee girl
Had beaten Mrs. Eve.
There's not blcmish in her form,
No fault about her face;
Sit down and gaze from. morn till night
You'll find her perfect grace;
And then, t, Danish all, her voice!
From sweetest birds in spring
You couldn't tell its warble but
She "doesn't know thing!"

EMIGRATION TO THE PACIFIC STArEs.-Du-

viii he made to perfect an organization, SO as
to insure for all persons who intend emigra-

terrible masSaeres which took place last year,
have given rise to the plan, and there is no
doubt that the result will be beneficial to all
who choose to avail themselves Of the means
which the Government has provided.
Persons who intend cmigrating to any Of
the Pacific States this season, will do well to
place themselves under the escort " hich will
