upon President Grant to ascertain
whether there was any truth in the

Was informed that such repeated an
uouncements in papers, regarded as
semi-official organs OF the Administra-
tiou, tended to create a belief that be
was not opposed to Mr.. Boutwelrs re-
tirement; that this uncertainty caused
uneasiness in the money market, and
the affairs OF the Government security
and made financial men distrustful ofthe
future. The President replied that as
far as he knew there would be no
change in the Treasury Department, as
Mr.. Boutwell, had not expressed any
intention Of retiring and he had no de-
sire to have him do 50.
Mr.. Boutwell, and the President have
never had any disagreement on any
subject whatever. They had differed
in regard to the abolition of the income
tar, but this was not Of such conse-
quence as to interfere with the kind
and friendly relations existing between
them.

Boston editor, who died awhile ago, told
his neighbor at the table that his father
fought at Bunker Hill. Upon which
the neighbor jumped into the first space
between orations and announced the
fact, and named the worthy son OF the
noble sire who was with them. And
then there was a laundering applause,
the glasses were filled bjgh to the
patriot father and son. and there were
irresistible calls for Gill Gill !" until
he arose and made speech, short, to-
wit: "Gentlemen, my father was a
soldier in =. that never-to-be-forgotten
fight, but he was in the British ranks.
He sat down amid loud silence, and the
banqueters, paying no more attention, to

HURRAH FOR THE SPRING!
BY sPIvINs.

Goodbye, goodbye to the winter King;
His reign Is DER, Tor the blushiug Spring
Appears like fair young Queen.
How she coaxed the old fellow to sleep on
her lap,
And laughed as she covered him up for a
nap.
With her beautiful mantle Of green.
Then hurrah, hurrah, for the glorious
Spring
At whose coming the trees with melody
ring,
Who loosens the stream from its thrall;
She fills with sweet fragrance the newborn
flower,
And tints with rich sunlight, the ev'ning
hour
Rejoicing both cottage and hall.
Hurrah, hurrah, for the budding Spring;
The zephyrS are born in the wave of her
wing,
And sweet are her vernal showers;
There's warmth in the flow of her treSseS
rare,
And dew-drops bright the jewels are,
And her coronet woven of flowers.
But ere long, must she, the loving Queen
Give way for one of laughter mein-
One of more sultry BREATH
And thus through the circling round of
years,
Woe follows our joys, and smiles our tears
Till we're garnered in by death.
