The following in memory of the wife of
EDWIN BoorH recently dead, is from the pen
of DR.. T. w. PARSONS:
MARY BOOTH.
What shall we do now, Mary being dead
Orsay or write that shall express the half?
What can we do, but pillow that fair head,
And let the Spring time write her epitaph.
AS it will soon, in snowdrop, violet,
Wind flower, and columbine, and maiden's
tear
Fac, letter Of that pretty alphabet,
That spells in flowers the pageant of the year.
She was a maiden for man to love;
She was a woman for a husbands life;
One that had learned to value far above
The name of Love, the sacred name of Wife.
Her little life-dream, rounded SO with sleep,
Had all there is of life-eXcept gray hairs,
Ope--lOve-trust-passiOn and devotion deep;
And that mysterious tie a Mother bears.
She hath fulfilled her promise and hath past:
Set her down gently at the iron door!
Eyes look on that loved image for the last,
Now cover it in earth-her earth no more.

Col. Gillem, one of finest of gentlemen
and strictest of officers, was one day rep

slightly intoxicated at the time. After
the Colonel had concluded, the soldier re-

"Yez waddint have occasion to talk to

The Colonel, much astonished, asked
"Well, sir, what would you do if you had

"Why, I'd shoot-meself SIR"
Which rather pleased the Colonel.

SPRING..


The bursting buds lock up
To greet the sunlight while it fingers yet
On the warm hill side, and the violet
Opens its azure cup
Meekly, and countless wild flowers wake to
fling
Their earliest iacense on the gale, of Spring.
Continual songs arise
From universal Nature-brds ana streams
Mingle their voices, and the glad earth seems
second Paradise.
Thrice blessed Spring Thou dearest gifts di-
Sunshine, and SGng, and fragrance-all are
thine.
Nor unto earth alone.
Thou hast blessing for the human heart,
Balm for its wounds and healing for its smart
Telling of winter flown.
And bringing hope upon thy rainbow wing,
Type of Eternal Life--thrice blessed Spring.

God save the royal bride!

Loving again!
