THE chap who wrote, Come, Gentle
Spring" evidently lived in this latitude.
but the compositor in setting up his manu-
script mistook the word 'gentLy," which
he used, for gentle, and the mistake has new
er been righted in print In obedience to the
manner in which the poet intended to sum-
mon in spring in these parts, that season
generally comes in SO gently as to be scarce
ly perceptibIe- This slow man ner of assum-
ing the garb of warm weather was strongly
evinced last Monday morning, the third day
of Spring, when the thermometer stood at 8
degrees below zero.
