Flora's Offering to spring.
BY N. LOUISE RooERs.
O, earth oil bathed with blood and tears,
yeFnever
Hast thoa ceased putting forth thy fruits
SPRING.
Away away! ye wintry throng,
Make room for mirth, FOR bloom and song
Now genial suns and gentle showers,
Shall robe The land in green and flowers,
On hill, in vale, and smiling plain,
For spring has come to earth again;
And Nature, from her death-like sleep,
Awakes to life, to gladly keep,
With all her joyous, blooming band,
Her annual reyel throueh the land.
I've brought. o Earth. my winds Of balm,
And hushed the storm into calm;
And over skies Of sombre hue,
I've thrown q veil Of beamy blue;
I've scattered gems upon the grass,
A flower sprang upward in my path,
And smiled ON me like some sweet wrath
So glad that had called it forth
From outside it's grave within the earth.
I came by gardens, drear and wild,
And the frost-king, with q freezing smile,
VxSAlux6W, auu LuSu U8klC W8uO
Waved over all, and 10 the land
Grew flushed with green and bursting
) bloom,
And beauty took the place Of gloom.
I came by the dreary wood,
That had the wintry storm withstood:
I touched the boughs, all bare and brown,
And myriad little buds were blown,
And hung about the limbs and stems,
Like pendant strings Of emerald gems.
Twas unbound the streamlet's flow,
And sweet it laughed in ripples low,
Or mad, wild glee, as on it gushed,
Till all the birds, whose notes were hushed.
Glanced swiftly through the budding trees,
And sung such joyous airs and glees-
Such burst Of song, it seemed the notes
Would rend in twain their tiny throats-
All hearts and home with gladness ring,
10 greet the joyous face of spring.
FLORA.
Hail gentle spring, to thee bring
The best of Flora's offering;
Flowers both sweet and fair, like you,
Emblems of youth and beauty, too.
And first, the muitihcra rose,
That by the babbling stream1et grows;
The jasmines, too, yellow and white,
Their emblematic powers unite,
And speak of elegance refined,
With amiability combined
The hawthorn comes with mystic art,
E:nblem Of hope that cheers the heart;
NeA9, IOseS, reU ana virgin white,
Their hues, all beautiful, unite;
Aud the fragrant piuk, Of modest worth,
That loves the spring that gave it birth;
The crocus next comes, blithe and CAV,
70 greet you on this festal day;
The daisy's snow white crest presents
A symbol of sweet Innocence.
Saow-drop, thou herald Of the spring,
Hasten upon thy balmy wing,
Refinement craven on thy brow,
Hasten to greet our fair spring now.
Vei benas, now, with brilliant hue, r
Their homage pay, as others do;
The amaranth. I proffer thee
Blest type of Immortality.
Ily-of the valley, haste to bring
Thy offering to our gentle spring;
The olive branch, Tin sure, you'll love,
Borne by that bird Of rest, the dove;
bring sweet peace. it seems to say,
70 all who greet this spring time day
The dark green pines offer last.
1t has a melancholy cast;
A long farewrll it gently sighs,
Like some sad heart that breaks and dies.
Now, gentle spring, 80 fair and bright,
May We as sisters here unite,
And, hand in hand, We'll ever roam,
And have one country and one home.

National InteAigencer had, previous
to the veto, written and placed in

If collision is avoided in this city 1t Is
due mainly to the sagacious courage of the
gallant "Boys in Blue 3" in offering their

conspiracy formed by Andrew Johnson,
Governor Swami, and their Copperhead
allies here and elsewhere developes itself
still further, the wisdom Of this action will
become apparent. Governor Swami meant
first to GUST the loyaFpolice board by force
without investigation. Failing to do that

to so act as to provoke collision, which
will enable him to brand the Union men a

General Government. Even in this he will
fail. The Union men will choose rather tc

against the fraudulently-elected Congress.

lieved that the Governor will remove the
commissioners, on paper, but that on his
appointecs presenting themselves to be
