q UNDER THE SNOW.

Dear little violet. under the snow,
Whatever you dream there, fain would know;
Do you hear the rustic Of coming springl ~
Do you feel the Sunshine shed from her wingl
Does the swallows frat note thrill you through ant
through ra
Till you wake from the dream and wish it were true
Do you and the crocus whisper together, 4
Of the day of the month"; and the pleasant weather!
of the summer that was, of the summers to be,
OF the robins long pause, and the gnats mystery
Oh, long for the .sunbeams to pierce and dissolve
All these drifts of snow--your being above,
For the warm rains to woo yousinto the light,
For the south-wind to sue you with all its might;
For then will you waken from out your. trance,
And bring the forsaken remembrance.

The committee had invited speakers from
other places; but owing to the short time
or arrangements, and bad roads, they did
not come, and there was no time to fill
their places. The audience were, however,
entertained for short time by singing
and music by the choir, and brief speeches
by Messrs. I. w. Lewis, j. R. Bergman,
N. Whitman, and W. s. Bovine.
AS they hold these meetings regularly,

in attendance, it is hoped larger crowd

Poetry.

/ nat 1000 ana ralment are To the BODY
music and poetry are to the soul of man
Though most poems of the times are
purely imaginary, yet they unyeil the pos.
sibilities of higher life, raising the mind
above the low, sordid things Of earth to a
communion with the angels of light.
There are true poets who never perpe-
tratcd rhyme, nor wrote verse; and
alas many of our rhynists are not, never
were, and never will be poets.
In our printing-ofice experience we see
all sorts of productions, in all sorts Of
styles, sometimes instructive, often
amusing. and others beautiful. We give
few specimens:
woman who sneezes
- Ought not to make cheeses
Put her hands in muff, -a
Nor ever take snUh, 81 n
What woman does not ;sneeze? We
fear if the idea of the writer should be
carried out that we should have few
cheeses, see few muffs, and that there
would be great falling off in the snuff
trade.
There is a sad truthfulness in the fol.
lowing, from Hollands 8 Bitter.Sweet
Life-evermore is fed by death,
In earth, and sea, and sky; ,
And that the rose may breathe its breath,
SOMETHING MUST DIE!
The oak tree, struggling with the blast,
Devours its father tree, ~
And drops its leaves, and sheds its mast,
That more may be-!
The author of the following was no
doubt farmer: 1etr
OF all the crops farmer raises,
Or capital employs, IT
None brings such comforts and such praises,
AS crop of girls and boys.
All very nice; but we are not aware
that it requires very great knowledge Of
of farming in order to get a crop" of the
kind mentioned.
We once tried our hand at poetry"
and have no excuse to offer for the result
of our labors except, as our john would
say, that we were /" madly in love-" The
effort took the form of an, acrostic, which
came naturally enough for the first or
Christian name Of our adored, 1--WE love
her yeti but to save us We could not fin
ish the thing. We fondly named it
ALBUM LINES.
AN AcRos1Ic.
Could but the power, er yet to mortal gven
Of shaping, moulding, guiding the DEGREES Of heaven
Round thy earth-life would all blessings strew; 3
Dividing good from evil would give all good to you
Ever should friends, true friends, be with you here
Loving smiles for each joy and for each grief tear
In all the trouble, toll and care of worldly strife,
Angels should guide you to the Higher Life
There that S a rhyme-isn't iii? But
we have never been able to make another,
though we have tried several times.
Beautifully suggestive is the following
fragment:
Broken The golden chord,
Severed the slken tie,
Never again will the old days CONS,
H., to you and l.
Memories, fold them up,
Lay them sacred by;
What avails to dream of the pastf-
the future for you and l.
Broken the siIken chord,
Sever'd the golden chain,
Sinking with the beautiful day
AYR That never can come again.
We should consider the following as
slightly personal: 80
AS Harry one day was abusing the sex
As things that in courtship but studied to vex,
Andin marriage but sous ht to enthrall,
"Never mind him, Says Kate, tits family whim;
HIS father agreed so exactly with him,
That he never would marry at all!'
