It's sap begins to ascend from the roots to
The trunk and limbs, and thus insure 5
plentiful growth of shoots and consequent

sultry mouths of summer. Next month

Planting cut young trees, but il IS rather
TOO late for trimming.
The stormy March has come at last,
With wind, and clouds, and changing skies,

March comes in like lamb, it goes out
Ike lion" So saith the proverb, and

reader, seducc yourself not with the belief
that Winter is yet over BY no means.

"' the time being Of causing our citizens
many of whom have relatives and friends
I'll that division Of the army-to be ex-

W common, and the scoundrels who give
4en currency should be put through
