A MEXICAN SroRY.-An extraord;,


A MEXICAN SToRY.-An extraordins-
~ story comes from Mexico relative to
flour. It appears that an old miller in
that locality had very beautiful young
wife, Of whom he was jealous in the ex-
IRENE, and took out his soulagensent of
that feeling in thwacking the lovely
young being. There was certain cook,
of the male species, young, handsome
and fat, who came to the mill from the
hotel to buy -four, and hearing the dis
tress Of the lovely one first, and seeing
her second, became of course dreadfully
in love. Some one told the miller. All
the town began to talk of the fact, and to
laugh at the foury one. One day the
cook and the young wife suddenly disap-
peared, and merrily laughed the Mexicans
at the miller's misfortune nothing went
down but the scandal of the elopement of
the miller's wife and the cook. The mil
Ter scowled vengefully upon the town, and
SO time passed by; nothing more was heard
of the cook and the miller's wife by any
one. Two years after the millerwas pleas
ed to die, and to inform the world in pa
per which was to be opened after his
death, and to be published in the town,
that the cook and his, the miller's wife
had, by planning, eloped into an oven two
years since and been baked that he would
have got rid of them elsewise but for the
jeering Of the public; therefore, he had
ground them up in large mass Of corn,
which the townspeople were pleased to
complement him for, as being exceptingly
rich and nutritious, and he only hopes that
they will enjoy the Renaissance as much
as he did the remainder of his life that
he was spared, whenever he looked upon

SPRING..

ST Ii MI.
Spring is coming says the crocus,
Peeping up above the snow;
Giving thus its fresh, sweet promise,
Though the north wind still may blow:
Whispering words Of summer sweetness,
With its singing birds and flowers,
Filling heavy hearts with gladnesa,
Dreaming of those sunny hours.
But she droops her tender eye-lid,
While the SHOWS are melting round,
For even with the softened breezes
Comes low and wailing sound,
Warning those who trust to sunshine,
Wintry frosts may come again,
Blighting gentle hearts and flowers
With cold, relentless pain
