and may they in the language Of Mr..
Webster, yegetate and rise" How
superior this reasoning to that love sick
fellow who sung,

As if Annie couldn't tell it from the
soft, balmy zephrys which bore her mu-
sic from the whispering myrtles and the
sigh-freighted aroma which arose from

every breath, blended with the soft and
tender strain of echos from the vale
awakening her sorrowed heart to bright
dreams aud hopes, and make that vale

earth talk together.
Practically speaking, however, we are
not content to liuger and loiter by the
way, for flowers that ,eih with the rising

Town Talk .

Our people are growing more practical
every day; and why should We weave
those gossamcr webs Of illusion in which
the hopeful or overburdened Imagination
only can live. when the reader smiles at
our ripples of sunshine an d laugh at the
wind harps, which with their moaning,
herald regrets. Ergo, we shall not fol
low those poetical cusses who wisely and
eloquently descant on the floral offerings
of May, or the bright rejuveuating
Spring. With our people we shall study
prscticalities.
