a SPRING GROWL.
BY C. z. CRANCH.

BY c. p. CRANCH.
WOULD you think it? Spring has come.
Winters paid his passage home;
Packed his ce-box, gone half way
To the Arctic pole, they say.
But | know the old ruffian still
SAClks about from hill to hill.
Where his freezing footsteps cling,
Though tits Spring.
Heed not what the poets sing
In their rhymes about the Spring;
Spring was once potent queen
ROBBED in blossoms and in green.
That | think, was long ago;
Is she buried in the snow,
Deaf TO all our caroling-
Poor old Spring?
Windows rattling in the night;
Shutters that you thought were tight
Slamnling back against the wall;
Ghosts of burglars in the hall;
Roaring winds and groaning trees:
Chimneys shuddering in the breeze;
Doleful damps in every thing-
Such is Spring.
Sunshine trying hard awhile
On the bare brown fields to smile;
Frozen ruts and slippery walks;
Gray old crops of last years stalks;
Shivering hens and moping cows;
Curdled sap in leafless boughs,
Nipped by winters lev sting
Such is Spring.
Yet the other day heard
Something that thought bird
He was brave to come so soon,
But his pipes were out of tune
And he chirped as if each note
Came from fiannels round his roat,
And he had no heart to sing
All poor thing.
If there comes a little thaw,
Still the air is chill and raw.
Here and there a patch of snow
Dirtier than the ground below
Dribbles down marshy flood
Ankle deep you stick in mud
In the meadows-whiie you sing
This is Spring.
Are there violetsl the sod?
CrocEses beneath the ciod?
When will Boreas give lis peace
Or has Winter signed a lease
For another month of frost,
Leaving Spring to pay the cost?
For il seems he still is king
Though It's Spring.

A Touching Romance.

Into the arid atmosphere of politics and
bread and butter sometimes comes bit of
| romance Of melting sweetness. Of such
is the story of two lovers and a remorseless
father, which, as it has just been told by a
BOstOnian, must of course be true Ten
years ago beautiful young Boston girl
was sent to the Vermont hills to arrest, if
possible, the indications of approaching
consumption. She recovered her health.
and meantime inflicted cureless wound
upon the heart Of an intelligent and we'll
educated young farmers SON. Unlike
Lady We're de We're, she did not scorn his
timid affection, but returned it heartily,
referring him to her father That tradi
tlOnally unromantic parsonage wouldn't
hear Of it. "Never-r, never shall a base
| mechanic wed me child" The young
man retired, went West, and made a large
fortune, and the young woman married
the man prescribed by her father. She
went to live in France; her husband died
IN two years, and, her parents also dying
she remained abroad. The memory of her
first romance faded with her as with it's
object, who, though unmarried, was too
busy in making money for tender thoughts
Last year his business took him to Europe
and one light found him on little steam
er plying between Marseilles and Leghorn
A storm came up, and lady, who had
risen from her seat on deck to 90 below,
was thrown overheard by sudden lurch
OF the vessel. The "base mechanic"
jumped after, and though in the dark the
steamer drifted away from them, they
clutched a providential plank and t1oated
until morning, when they were picked up
by another vessel. During that night, in
the cold and the darkness, they discovered
IN each other the loved and lost of earlier
years. The old feeling came back in that
fearful hour, and on their arrival at Malta
they were married. End of the poetry.
The rest is prose.
A WORD For THE WIFE-There is
much good sense and truth in the remark
OF modern author that no man ever pros
pered in the world without the co-opera-
tlon OF his wife. If she unites with him
IN endeavor, or rewards his labor with an
endearlng smile, with what confidence
VIII he resort to his merchandise or his
larm' ny over lands, sail over seas, meet
dlfhculty or encounter danger, He then
knows that he is not spending his strength
IN VAN, but that his labor will be rewarded
oy the sweets of home. Solitude and dis
appointment enter the history of every
mans life, and he is but half provided for
ms voyage who finds but an associate for
MS happy hours, while for his months of
darkness no sympathizing partner is pre-
pared.

IRRIGAIION.

A writer in the Overland Monthly gives
some interesting facts in relation to the San
Joaquin California; and Kings River Ca.
nal and Irrigation Company, designed fol
both irrigation and navigation. The east
ern trunk of the contemplated system Of
canals runs 500 miles north, from Kern
lake to Red Bluff, in the Sacramento valley,
fed from the watershed of the Sierra Neva-
da. TIE western, commencing at Summit
lake, runs 1913 miles along the foothills OF
the coast range, thence 200 miles up the
Sacramento valley-9O0 miles in all, Of
which 40 are constructed. About $1,000
square miles, or 100000 acres, are TO be
irrigated thus at a cost of S20,000,000.
Aud it is reckoned that the export of wheat
would be increased $15,000,0O0 annually
by the improvement of unproduCtive lands,
while desirable immigration would be at
tacted.
Somehow it seems the destiny of Cali
fornia to take the lead in all really great un-
dertakings. To dig a canal nine hundred
miles long to irrigste land for farming pur
poses, is presenting American agriculture
in new light. That such an enterprise
should be undertaken by a company with
private funds, as profitable investment, is
a suggestive fact connected with raising
wheat for foreign consumption. Irrigation
costs 50 little and is worth SO much that
the practice will be likely to extend as far
as agriculture on the continent.

ooKS FoR THE SOUTH,

The st. Louis Repu6acdn says
"The four States of South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida and Alabama are compelled
to buy about 100000 bushels of grain
from Northwestern producers every year.
For this they pay on an AVERAGE nearly S54,-
100000. But of this amount the Western
grain-growers get less than, Sl6,000,000.
The S3S,0O0,000 which the people of the
consuming States pay over the amount re-
alized by the producer, is divided among
different transportation companies. That's
how the money goes"
If the cotton growing States pay ffty-four
million dollars for fifty million bushels of
c ,rn, it would be much better to raise their
Grain ST. home; yet when cotton sells al a
high figure, planter may possibly buy corn
f,om the proceeds of his cotton cheaper
than N raise it. This system Of raising
cotton only, is bad from the fact that it tends
70 depress the price of cotton. A crop of
4Ooo.Oo bales may bring less money into
Che cotton States than crop one-f0urth
Lass The land and labor that produce the
extra million bales would give all the corn
imported from the northwest, and cost
nothing but better arrangement of crops.
Tn. true policy is to diversity ones plant
inc so that If one crop fails, or sells at a
low price, the loss can be made up on
another. Gambling in planting is no bet
Do, than a game of chance in any other
field of speculation. There are sufficient
uncertainties in life, health, seasons, and
other events affecting agriculture, without
the risks of buying horse feed, bread-ccrn
and bacon for the production of cotton. 1t
needs a high premium fairly to insure
business 80 precarious.

JUDGE SHARswooD's decision in the
case of Miss Carrie S. Burnham against
the judges of election in Philadelphia, that
awomsn not being freeman, cannot vote
under the existing laws Of Pennsylvania,
has been unanimously sustained by the
other Judges of the Supreme Court of that
State. Miss Burnham appeared in her own
behalf, and is said to have made very
good speech in support of her claim to vote
under the fifteenth amendment to the Con-
s.itution of the United States. The Phils-
delphia Age says "she received the respect
full attention of the Court; while in Roches-
ter, New York, Miss Susan B. Anthony,
for her effort to vote, was lugged off to
prison by United States Marshal under
the Ku-Klux law, proceeding of which
the absurdity ought not to conceal the
enormity." 1t is announced that the case
will be appealed to the Supreme Court of
the United States.

CURTIS, "BIG DISGUST,


The Cincinnati Commercial prints Mr..
VIM. Curtis letter to Grant resigning his
position as member of the Advisory Board
of the Civil Service, and appends the fol.
lowing comment:
ave are not speaking hastily or unad-
visedly when we say that President Grant
owes his reelection TO Mr.. Curtis, the edi-
tor of HdrperS' Weekly. With his timely
help Adams could be nominated at Gin
cinnati, and with the pen Of Curtis and
possibly the pencil Of Mast, the campaign of
the opposition to the Grant Adminstra-
ton would have been a success. Mr.. Cur
tbs had so profound distrust of the Demo-
cratic party that he feared 10 so along the
road with them even in the direction Of re-
form, and he had confidence in the good
ness and good faith and ultimate salvation of
Grant. He also had mistrust, almost q
dislike, Of Horace Greeley. Curtis and
Greeley had an abnormal incapacity to I'M
derstand each other that was curious and
painful to their friends. And so Curtis
stuck to Grant, and helped him in thou
sand ways, trusting to find his reward in
the Presidents favor to the reformation of
the Civil Service. Every symptom Of the
serious attention of the President to that
matter was gratefully received by Curtis,
and recognized In glowing editorials in the
Journal Of Civilization; but the degrading
character of recent appointments by the
President, his ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS OF
crime and incapacity-and his subservieDcy
to the Tom Murphy ring, have opened the
eyes Of Mr.. Curtis at last and disguised
him; and with few and fit words he has
turned away from the hopeless task of
making silk purse of sow's ear"
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1873-04-11

A sESn-oFFIcIAL statement comes from
Washington that Grant has not decided TO
abandon the civil service regulations, and
that competitive examinations will be con-
tinued in the departments, but appoint
ments will not be controlled by these ex-
aminations in every instance. That is to
say, remarks the Cincinnati Commercial,
whenever the President has neither rela-
tive nor favorite to fill a vacancy be will,
If it be bis inclination, select and appoint
from those who have successfully passed
the ordeal Of the examining boards. The
President would have US understand tina
be is under nc obligations to observe and
enforce regulations which he recommend
ed and approved. He is above them, and
at liberty to do as be pleases with regard
to appointments. If he has no particular
reason for disregardng them he will act
under them, but it must be understood
that he does not act upon compulsion.

The Lewiston (Msine) Journal of re-
cent date makes the following announce
ment: -
"Hon. VIM. P. Frye, member of Congress
| from this district, arrived home Friday eve
ming. Mr.. Eyre is in excellent health. he
made brief trip into Virginia, with view,
at the outset, of travelling further South, but
his experience of Southern Hfe was so I'M
pleasant that be returned, going no further
than Petersburg. BE says that the utmost
poverty, neglect, and prejudice still prevail,
and that hepeople are far behind in Inn
proyements, and their methods of living.
The hotels are foul and unwholesome, the
cookery bad, and the entire atmosphere
tainted with shiftlessness. The preju-
dice against Northern men is still deep, es-
pecially in social relations. Mr.. Frye
speaks of one gentleman "a Maine MANI
who has lived in Petersburg twelve years,
next door sneighbor' to an IF. +. W OF
most azure blood. It CHANGED that the
houses of the two were identical. For
nearly twelve years the two families have
lived side by side without the slightest go
rcial intercourse, till one day recently q
daughter of the aristocratic Virginian
stumbled into the Yankees house by plum
der. She soon retreated on. discovering her
mistake. On reaching home her mother
required her TO remove her clothing, and
be sure and not put on the habillments des-
ecrated by the Yankees footstool, until
they had been washed" TXU
It seems almost impossible that gentle
man possessing intelligence enough to be
elected to Congress and to find his way to
Washington and back to Maine, should
make such statement as this. There can
be no question that Mr.. Frye is either a
fool or q knave. He may be feeble-minded,
and some'mad wag, "native and to the man
ner born" or Northern man fond Of bis
jokes, or "carpet-bagger" with evil intent,
may have made the discovery and have
played upon his fears to such an extent as
to have frightened him into abandoning his
contemplated Southern tour. The Peters
burg story is entirely ''too thin" 1t is the
weakest invention that we have yet seen
from men who delight in incorporating
the people of the South. If Mr.. Frye was
possessed of a particle of common sense he
would have known that the person who
told him that story, if it were told him
at all, was lineal descendant of Baron
Munchausen. But seriously, it is by
spreadingI just such fabrications as this in
the North, where few people see man
who knows anything of the social condl-
ton of the South from actual observation
or experience, that the bitter feelings en-
gendered during our late unpleasantness"
by course equally reprehensible, are kept
alive. As long as there are such men in
the North as Mr.. VIM. P. Frye, large
class of the people of that section, who
take no trouble to inform themselves as to
facts, will continue to regard the Southern
people as little, if any better than barba-
riaDs.

The civil-righters have received back
set in Missouri. Some time since a negro
woman named Chiffon, while travelling on
tirst-class ticket on the Iron Mountain
Railroad, was required by the conductor to
vacate her seat in one of the elegantly fur
nished ladies, car, and take another car
farther towal DIS the front, for which affront
she sued the company, laying her damages
at $1,000. After protracted trial before
the special term of the Circuit Court for
St. Louis, the jury returned a verdict for
the railroad. The woman appealed to the
general term, where the decision of the
court below was affirmed. n

IT is stated that In some of the finest
houses In New York they confne the
@water and escape pipes to one carefully
closed room, and using the old-fashioned
bowls and ewers in the bedrooms. This
plan is becoming a necessity in some
quarters of the city, on account of the fetid
gases that rise from the sewers into the
houses, The physicians say that these
gases are the cause of very much Of the
diphtheria and scarlet fever that are so un-
usually prevalent in certain parts of the
city. Here is hint for people who live in
other cities to act upon.
