Spring.

Through darkened clouds come cheerful CLEANS of
Spring.
And flowers of radiant beauty meet the eye:
And notes that hush the weary Winters sigh
The merry songsters of the woodland sing
tbs nature waking from long repose
OF clouds and mists and sombre-tinted dreams,
And breaking forth in light and sunny beams
glory and fragrance round her throws.
There's nothing now that's speaking of decay
The fields and hill-tops all look fresh and green,
The lilacs and the maybuds grace the scene
Mid snowdrops pale and primrose bright and gay
There's little more of hope the earth give;
The Summer wears gladness of her own,
The richness too of Autumu's gifts is known
But, o, in Springs fair promise let us live.
1t bears us back again to days of YOUTH
When earth's sweet music all was one fair Spring
And when of joy alone life's harp could sing,
FIngng upon each golden string the light Of truth.

Something NeW.--W0men Dentists.

The German papers announce that a
young lady recently presented herself
at the Faculty of Medicine at Munich,
for examination for license to prac-
tice as dentist. Being refused, she
went to Erlangen. The question was
there referred to the Government, who
at once authorized the examination on
the ground that it was absurd to exclude
a person DESTROYS to submit herself to
authorized professional tests of ability
by reason of her sex. The young lady
triumphed. and "is likely" it is added,
to find immediate imitators."

DECORATION POEM.

DECORATION POEM.
A year that was solemn, and sad, and strange,
Has passed away to its tomb,
Since we made the graves of our dear, dead braves
Like garden, all ahloom,-
year that brought sorrow, and want, and change
year with baleful breath:
And the dreaded beat of It's flame-shod feet
Wrought ruin, and woe, and death.
High and higher the tongues of fire
Leaped up in a single night,
Till the walls of town went crllNbl1ng down,
And city fell in her might.
And with fame and disease, and Voc like these,
Death laughed in his mad, wilG glee,
and Pestilence loosened his imps in the land,
And ships went down at sea.
But with all of the passions, and pain, and fear
With all of the long, sad hours
We have not forgotten to offer here
Our yearly tribute of flowers.
1 think the heart in loyal breast
Knows no such word as forget;
And thlnk-nay, know-that III veal or III woe,
We shall RENE mber cur debt.
The debt of a nation redeemed from shame,
And million slaves set free,
OF a spotless fame and cherished name,
Honored on land and sea;
OF the dear old flag kept out of the dust,
The flag of the brave and true,-
And this Is the debt owing yet
To the boys who wore the blue.
Thousands are sleeping in southern graves,
With no slab to tell us where,
But the land where the sweet magnolia waves,
Gods hands keep fresh and fair
And the angels above, in pity and love,
Watch over the unknown mound
Where some hearts joy, some mothers boy,
nameless grave has found.
To a clear sNeet song that is free and strong,
Yet sad with minor strain,
liken the lives of the boys i'll blue,
Who died they knew gain |;
To glad, glad song that rings loud and bold,
In a stirring major key,
l hken in thought the boys who fought,
And were crowned with victory.
To the hero nno comes with the beating of drums,
We car give the laUrels of fame,
And With mirth and music, and song, and feast,
re can honor and praise his name;
But we bring to the bed of the sainted dead
Only these wreaths to-day,
Yet they speak with their bloom and sweet perfum
More than our lips can say.
They speak of love that will never die,
But strengthen and grow with time;
Of lives that blossom again on high,
OF faith and hope sublime.
They tell how a grateful nations heart
Remembers her tried and true
And how tears are shed for the honored dead,
For the boys who wore the blue.
They speak of the higher and purer life
That the Lords dear angels know,
Where naught can enter of pain or strife,
And tears can never flow.
Sleep on, brave boys your graves are green
As the thoughts we give to ye,
And these blooms will say ye shrined away
In the halls OF memory.
