"Como gentle spring, ethereal mlldness, come"
There is adeal of humbug in Spring.
1t is, truly, the season when buds and
blossoms appear, when the leaves put
forth aud when the air is popularity
supposed to be balmy and soft and
laden with sweet odors, but there is a
period Immediately succeeding the dis
solution Of Winter, wherein none of the
delightful events enumerated are TO be
found. The "icy barriers" of the Frost
King are broken down to be sure, and
the little rivulets flow afresh, but they
meander in manner detrimental to
personal comfort and destructive TO
wearing apparel. Mud is very good
thing in its way, but is not calculated
to call forth any very enthusiastic bursts
of admiration, when it is necessary to
wade through lake of it to admire a
landscape. The weather too is capri
cious ; nipping airs prevail and bolster
Gus gales buffet the pedestrian, making
watery the eyes and cerulean the nose.
The buds and flowers distru5t the at.
mosphere and decline to do more than
give promise of future appearance !;
the grass does not rush forth into any
great extent of greenness and he "sweet
odors" are not strongly prevalent.
There are, it is true, charming days oc-
casionally, which are rendered doubly
beautiful from their rarity, as smiles on
the ce of wilful beauty are brighter
from very contrast with i'll humor and
petulance, but such days are "like
angels visits, few and far between"
and are generally followed by ground
and lofty tumbling on the part of ther-
mometers and by general nastiuess and
discomfort. 1t must be admitted that
the pleasant days OF early Spring are
very pleasant, but we cannot shut our
eyes to the fact that the greater portion
of the month of March and the first
part of April are given over to intense
and sudden cold snaps Of irregular du
ration or to a juicynes5 Of soil and
dampness of air which are, doubtless,
conducive to the well.being and happi-
ness of aquatic birds but not to the
health or comfort of human beings.
Poets in all ages have sung the praises
of the Spring time, but they have al
ways been an imaginative set, looking
at the world through rose colored spec
tacles, and refusing to contemplate un-
pleasant matters. Praise should be Civ
en- where praise is due, but we protest
against the wholesale laudatiou OF good,
bad and Indifferent days which make
up the average Spring, simply because
they occur between the cold of winter
and the heat Of summer. One poet has
had the manlineSs to give his opinion
unbiased by the assertions of his breth,
rem in the craft and we stand by him;
"Come gentle spring, ethereal mildness come,
| So sang the poet without rhyme or reason;
l tell you, sir, the whole thing is hum,
| There's no such season."

THE last number of the National
Medical Journal contains paper writ
ten by DIR. John II. Griscom, recon-
mending the use of the sulphite Of soda
"a compound of sulphurous acid and
soda--in almost all diseases dependent
upon the vitiated condition of the blood,
whether caused by the inhalation of
malaria or vitiation of food, and almost
every disorder of contagious and infec-
tious character. Diarrh9a, cholera in
fantum, dysentery, and many severe
diseases of the skin have been relieved
almost Immediately upon its digestion,
and more quickly than by any other
articles OF materia medica. 1t is also
held to be perfectly and rapidly cura.
tive in some cases of typhoid and in
termittent fever, erysipelas, scarlatina,
dyspepsia, nausea, syphilis, catarrb, and
rectal hemorrhage. The sulphite ofsoda,
which must not be mistaken for the
sulphate of soda, is in short sort of
panacea. About TIVE nty grains is dose

ADVERTISING PAYS. - Often
times it pays the printer better than it
pays the merchant. 1t is q great
mistake to suppose that all the advertis-
ing done, nova days, pays. 1t don't
pay to tell the community with Il
flourish Of trumpets that you have wares
to sell, better, cheaper, and more of
them than your neighbor in trade
when it's lie, you havea't! 1t don't
pay to attract people to your place of
business with promises of slow prices, "
"large stock" unparalleled advan.
tages," when there is no truth in it {!
II don't pay to play upon the credulity
of the public. ''He who spits against
the wind, spits in his own face" said
the aut hor of Poor Richards Almanac,
and so it is today. A fraud may,
succeed for while, but wait and see
little and big, the whole troop of false
hoods, by,and-bye, will "come home
to roost. -Erchange.

Mr.. EDITOR What is the proper
pronunciation of INiad-a swift current
of air
The is generally made short now
days as in tin, win, ETC., but am per
suaded very incorrectly. One of the
best ways of discovering it is the usage
of the poets:
Their instruments were various in their kind
Some for the bow, and some for breathing tCind,
DRYDEN.
But there alas! he could not safely ind
A pack of dog-fis had him in the wind.
SWIFT
If we should write
EVERY Tritou's horn is uinding
Welcome to the watry plain"
it would be read with the long / and
doubtless Dryden so intended it. And
so too Pope;
Ye vig'rous swainsl while youth ferments your
blood
Wind the shrill horn, or spread the waving net
And Dryden in another place gives
us this couplet:
1t stopd at once the passage of his ,ofnd
And the free soul TO fitting air resigned.
Upon the subject of the pronuncla'
tion of the word "Wind," the poet Gay
says:
Twas when the seas were roaring,
With hollow blasts of Wind,
damsel lay deploring,
All on a rock recined.
Pope of Lady Mary, and his grotto
writes to Gay:
But soft recesses of uneasy minds,
To sigh unheRTd in 10 the passing Winds.

THE YEAR 1S72-This year, Septem-
Der and December each begin on a
Sunday, April and July on Monday.
October is the only month beginning on
Tuesday. February begins and ends on
Thursday, consequently it will have five
Thursdays, which will not occur again
until 1900. In the year 1858 Feb, will
have FIVE Sundays, which will not occur
again until the year 1920. The year 1871
began on Sunday and ended on Sunday.
This will occur in 1882; and every
eleventh year thereafter.

man in this county prate about "rings"
just ask him how much time and money

efforts are directed against his own par
ty, instead ofagainst the opposition.

If there are any landlords in town
who propose raising their rents this
year, we would call their attention to
the fact that sixteen families in Belle
ionte have decided to leave that town
on account of the high rents. Such an
exodus from Bloomsburg would be very
disagreeable, especially for those who
would in that case have empty houses
10 look after. Money is so tight at pres
ent, that house expenses have become
matters of serious consideration. Mod
crate rents with good tenants are vast
y better than high ones and nobody to
pay them.

II any of our readers have been so

we can bring comfort to them by telling

powder and blew up his cabbages. This

of "raising" this vegetable we have

AS all the other papers of the State
have mentioned the fact, that March
has "come in like lion," and as we do
not wish to appear eccentric by silence
on the subject, we would state distinct

advent of the month. We would 60
further and prophesy that it will depart
like young sheep, although we claim
no credit for the originality of the idea.
