SIorgan was Washington's choice for

st. Clair nominated instead. Would
the sad result Of that expedition have
been changed had Morgan been the
leaderY When the "Whisky Insurrcc-
tion" Of Western Pennsylvania broke out,
in 1874, Morgan was dispatched by
Washington, with strong force, into
the disafIcctcd district. Thcn he was
sent from the Frederick district, to
Congress, where he served for two ses.
sions with credit. But, growing feeble.
ness drove him to complete retirement,
aud bc died July 9th, 1902, the death
of a truly Christian man.
Morgan was, despite his early pro-
c,ivities, an honorable man and true
patriot. He was, like old Israel Put
man, Ethan Allen, and other great
hearts in Libertys cause, man of in
corruptiblc principles. lie served his
country not for emoluments or prefer
ments, bu. for love of that country. lie
had had the confidence of Washington
aud Greene, both of whom gave ample
testimony OF that confidence. That it
never was betrayed, but always repaid
BY services commensurate with his trust,
is Daniel Morgan's title deed to the
generous consideration of the genera
tions. .

SPRING FLOWERS.

April has dallied with us too long,
Now putting us off with robins song,
Now out Of cloud Of gusty glooms,
Nodding and tossing her alder plumes,
As they were sprays Of Summer-blooms
Anon, with the sunshine on her crown,
Shifting her cloak, all ragged and brown,
To give us glimpses of her green gown,
Lifting her veil, or glimmering through,
Just to let us see how blue, how blue
Are her eyes, the deep, enchanting hue
Which brims the lverleaf's cup with blue.
II tis time for April's flowers to show
Along the hem other gowns soft iow.
plucked the earliest, long ago,
From eloud-piled field of sunset-sky,
Ere the wild March-snows had drifted by,
Lilac, white, and the delicate dye
Tinging the cheeks Of anemones,
Pear-color, pink of the buds that drink
Alta brown brooks tnossy ,aower-fringed brink
And rare, even on those upper lea..
That luminous tint Of clear pale green,
Which only blooms in the sky, ween.
II is time for April's flowers to show
Along the hem Of her gowns soft Aow.
plucked the earliest, long ago,
When robin the wizards song was new.
A vision of blossoms serenely blue, -
Breathing shy, delicate odors forth,
Appeared and vanished, ar aery-5irth,
A vision by robin conjured forth.
But it comes no more; the robins sing,
And wait with closed eyes, listening,
But the sky-blue flowers, with starry eyes
And odorous breath, no more arise.

may endure for night, but JOY is sure
to come in the morning. Come all ye
