Spring, sc.
The sweet season Of the singing Of birds "
has come to US again. when the little blades Of
tender grass spring from the warmed and
s0ftened earth, and the tiny leaflets put forth
on each brown spreading branch aud towering
trunk 1t is Natures Jubilee. The bright and
happy resurrection-time. after the cold, dead
winter. Indoors and out every body-every
thing is busy, from the thrifty housewife, who
cleans and scrubs and duSts and polishes while
her active husband guides the pillow or sows the
grain, down TO the twittering bird seeking
stray twiss and straws and downy feathers for
its cozv nest. and the humming bee looking
round for some friendly hive wherein to lay
I'D stores Of rich honey soon to be extracted
from uyriads Of delicate blossoms starting into
life from hill aud plain and wood and riverside.
This beautiful Valley exhibits the glories Of
Spring as few spots on earth can portray it
The velvety fields Of growing wheat promise
an abundant harvest, while thousands Of fruit
trees. laden with bloom, Gil the heart with
pleasant auticipations Of the time of ingather-
ing and slowing carefully by to meet the needs
of another winter. Last year was an unfavor-
able one for fruits, vegetables, SC, but the
present gives fair promise Of full reward to
the industrious laborer. If there are in colder
and less genial climes those who, firing of un-
requitcd toll aud chilling frosts, would seek a
home beneath SUMNER skies and warmer sun,
We extend a cordial invitation to them to come
and view our rich, productive lands, to expe-
rience the pleasant warmth Of the gentle
zephyr, and observe the richly repaid laborS
of the hgsbandman, and then, if they will,
make themselves homes among us,-homes of
peace aud thriving plenty, surrounded by beau
ty and lie in Nature, which cannot but emo
bic the heart and expand the mind.

PIANo-FoRrEs The high prices asked for
piano-fortes it is stated, is due to the great
strength required in the frame Of the instru-
meut to resist the tension Of the strings
which in some instances amounts to sixteen
tons. Hence, it is argued that the adoption Of
a lower pitch would lower The price Of pianos.
