April characteristics.

April, at its best, is the tenderest of ten
der salads. Its type is the first spear Of
grass. The senses-sight, hearing, smell
are as hungry for its delicate and almost
spiritual tokens, as the cattle are for the
first bite its fields. How it touches one
and makes him both glad and sad The
voices of the arriving birds, the migrating
fowls, the clouds Of pigeons sweeping across
the sky or filling the woods, the elfn horn
of the first honey-bee venturing abroad in
the middle Of the day, the clear piping Of
the little frogs in the marshes at sundown,
the campfire in tue sugar bush, The smoke
seen aiar rising over the trees, The tinge Of
green that comes so suddenly on the sum
ny knobs and slopes, the full translucent
streams, the waxing aud warming sum-
how these things aud others like them are
noted 10y The eager eye and earl April is
my natal month, and am born again into
new delights and new surprises at each re-
turn of il. Its name has an indescribable
charm to me, Its two syllables are like the
calls of the first birds-like that of the
Phebe-bird, or OF the meadow-lark Its
very SHOWS are fertilizing, and are called
the poor mans manure.
Then its oiors am thrilled by its fresh
and indescribable odors-lhe perfume of the
Lursting sod, OF the quickened rsots and
rootlels, Of the mold under the leaves, Of
the fresh furrows. No other month has
odors like it. The west wind the other
day came fraught with perfume that was
TO the sense of smell what a wild and deli
cate strain of music is 10 the ear 1t was al
most transcendental. l walked across the
hill with my nose in the air taking it in.
1t lasted for two days. imagined ii came
from The willows OF a dismal swamp, whose
catkins were affording tue bees their first
pollen,-or did il come from much farther
from beyond the horizon, the accumulated
breath Of innumerable farms aud budding
forests? The main characteristic of these
April odors is their uncloyhg freshness.
They are not sweet, they are ollener bitter,
they are penetrating and lyrical. l know
well the odors of May and June, Of the
world Of meadows aud orchards bursting
into bloom, but they are not so ineflable and
SO stimulating TO the sense as incense Of
April.
that delights me very much, is the perfect
emerald OF the spring runs while the fields
are yet brown aud sere,-strips and patch
es OF the most vivid velvet green on tho
slopes and in Il e valleys. How the eye
grazes there and is filled aud refreshed
had forgotten what marked feature this
was until 1 recently rode ia an open wagon
for three days through mountainous, pasto-
raj country, remarkable for its fine springs.
Those delicious green patches are yet in
my eye. The fountains flowed with May.
Where no springs occurred, there were
hints aud suggestions springs about the
fields and by the roadside in the freshened
grass-some times overlooking space in
the form of an actual fountain. The water
did not quite get to the surface in such
places, but sent its influence. Bur-
roughs, in Scyibner for april.

his glasses grew rounder and rounder, aud
his arms grew slenderer and slenderer /;
and then he seemed 10 wink all over and
then there was a great black cat, with a
white spot on his throat and white face
and four white feet, sitting in the study
chair, swapping at the flies, with one paw
on volume Of Jonathan Edwards SER
mons.
1t was great change for the minister.
But as for Mrs. Deacon Davis, she didn't
seem TO need 10 alter hardly a bit. Her
eyes were the mildest skim-milk before,
much more faded than an old cats eyes !;
and her hair was pale butf and sort Of fur
ry. Aud she had way Of rubbing her
self against the side of her chair as she
talked along in a kind Of a purr- -purring
tone. She stopped work for the first time
In her life, though, and taking her yellow
paws out Of the wash tub, went TO chasing
dandelion down.
But as soon as ten clocks anywhere in
town struck one al the same second, all the
cats turned back to people again; and you
ought 10 have seen how surprised they
were to catch themselves doing such odd
things.
Aunt Patty was rummlging through the
minister's wife's bureau drawer among her
best clothes; and, bad as that looked in a
cat, it looked a thousand times worse in
Aunt Patty, with Uncle Rodney's hat still
on her head and hoe under her arm.
Mrs. Deacoh Davis was curled up asleep
in the rocking chair, and she rubbed her
nj hnr in itk IA
again, and didn't know anything had hap
pened. She wouldn't believe it now if you
should tell her. Only, when her clock
struck one 1t was always little slow, she
felt grieved to see few cats hairs on her
cbair-cushiou, and 10 hnd she had lost so
much good time right out Of the heart Of
the day. "But tbeu," she thought, "my
nap has rested me up completely, and with
such poor health as enjoy, do suppose
needed it. Aud, all is, must work the
smarter to make up"
The minister looked most astonished TO
ind himself playing with large, brown,
limp rat. at is very extraordinary Most
rtmaTkable! said he. "Gloriansr' he
continued, turning 10 lhe black serving
maid, who was swinging herself down
from the cherry tree, where, moment be-
fore, she had been a black kitten, chasing
a squirrel. "Gloriaua you may take this
dead animal aud bury the creature in the
garden. II will act as a fertilizer"
Aud then he began 10 walk up aud down
the footpalh, from the door TO the gate,
with his bands behind him, and to think
over the heads Of his next sermon.
On the whole, it Was funnier when the
cats became people than when the people
became cats; they were so surprised and
shocked 10 tiud where they were and what
they were doing. Frances Lee, st. Nich-
OidS for April.
