Spring.

As balmy and everwelcome Spring
opens upon us again, how we love to
re-commence the culture of the soil.
The bosom of mother earth lies invit-
ingly before rs. We walk over the
garden, and the ground seems waiting
to receive the spade and hoe. We
pass through the garden to the neigh
boring field where the plow is already
at work, and how fragrant the smell
of the newly-turned-up earth. The
vernal sun is pouring down upon us
its genial warmth. A charming land
scape surrounds us on every side. Ma
ture seems to conspire to breath peace
and joy into all living things. Listen
to the subdued lowing of the cows,
the cackling of the barn-yard fowls,
and the murmuring of the waterfall.
With such surroundings, how delight
full is. the lot of the farmer-how Joy
fully and peacefully his days glide by.
Who would forego these sweet pleas
ures of rural life for all the vain pomp
and display that is SO often the accom-
paniment Of life in town. Give us
the wheat-ield, the meadow, the pas
ture, the orchard and the garden, and
we will be quite content to give up
all the feyerish pleasures of city life.
