ness GOMEZ" So said the inspired poet. So
would many of us say, after last weeks storms
and the cold blasts of expiring winter. Spring
begins to-day-Saturday. Then the sun crosses
the equinoctial line. The days become of equal
length The sun rises at a. m. and sets at 6
p. m. and the days and nights will each be IL
hours in length. Soon the days will gradually
increase and the nights decrease as Spring ad-
vances. The sun going farther north of the
line, his rays striking more perpendcularly,
becomes warmer, the earth warns and vegeta-
ton comes into life again. The green fields,
meadows and forests will again greet the eye.
The sweet song of the birds will again be heard
every hand. TIE lover of nature in his
walks can hear music in the brooks and streams
tumbling and roaring, in the winds, and in the
rustling of the leaves. He may see objects of
grandeur and beauty, on the hills, in the fields,
the waters and above and beneath the earth
The Almighty shows wonderful works of crea
ton. When winter comes and goes every thing
seems cold, lifeless and dreary, but when he
has passed, then comes spring, bright and beau
tiful. Nature renews her glory, she puts on
her robes of verdure, and her new song,
chanting sweet requims as she grows day by
day more beautiful and more perfect. Soon
the spring time will have passed, and the heat
of summer will come with its June roses, the
shrubbery and the many flowers of varied hues.
The fruit season will then be at hand rnatured
vegetation Tor man 10 SuOSlSt on, Will be here.
Nature then will rapidly perfect itself, and
when the summer is over, the ripening fruits
will be gathered in, and with autumn's frosts,
the process of natures rounds of development
will cease. Then soon comes winter, dreary
and cold. Nature again decays, sears and dries,
and again goes crum bling to mother earth, only
to repeat itself in its reproduction at the COM
ing of another spring. So our seasons come
and go; all things come to life and in their
turn die and decay. The life of man in its
rouNds from the cradle to the grave, is but as
nature in its circle. from life, beauty, maturity
and finally in its death and decay We come
into life in the spring time of our youth, and
gradually we mature and as age comes on like
the autumn leaf, we scar and finally die and go
home to our resting place-mother earth. But
while we have spring time let us enjoy its cheer
ing beauties. God created all things good
Man can and shall enjoy this world of beauty,
but should remember his Creator. Forget not
that you are man responsible for all you have.
Let the spring time of life be improved by the
young, so that maturer age may ripen strong,
perfect, and beautiful. Let the mind and heart
the better nature of man-be perfect. Let
these glorify the Creator of all that is good and
beautiful.
