What are tho dearest treasures of the spring?
The rosy haze that wells the forests bare;
The vague, sweet fragrance in the balmy air
The twitter of the swallows ON the wing;
Tho tender beauty of the wavering light;
The rains, swift IA tears In babies eyes;
The sudden sunshine In the changeful skies;
The softened brightness OF the star-t night;
The freshening emerald of the bladed grass;
The sparkle of the myriad-dimped sea;
The rush OF mountain brooks, once more set free !;
The sense of early bloom 80 soon To pass
These are most fair. but more than these TO me
The Weakening memories Of the vanished years,
Tender regrets, grown dim meath many tears,
And sorrows softened like rainy sea;
Swift recollectons of forgotten bliss.
Thrilling the heart with dreams of JOY again,
An eostacy of pleasure shot with pain,
As when the sunbeams and the rain-drops kiss
Reluctant hopes, that come like snowdrops white.
The faint, frail harbingers of happier days,
Filling the heart with tremuous amaze
That hardly dares to call itself delight
These are the dearest treasures Of the spring;
These are the flowers the heart peroeives moro fair
Than all her blossoms born of sunny air,
Than all her birds of bright and restless wing.

Russia Well Prepared for War.

Russia, says an exchange, goes into
this war better prepared than she was in
the Crimean days. Her army is stronger,
better organized, and better armed. She
can now transport her troops and sup
plies by railroads, instead of conveying
them III wagons a thousand miles, as she
did then. This time she has the senti-
ment of the whole civilized world in her
favor. The massacres and atrocities of
the Turks are as familiar as household
verbs, the world over. The English
press has printed the details for year
past, and the Russian press has copied
them ; and the charges have been urged
with so much force that almost every
power in Europe has taken cognizance of
them and called the attention of the Porte
to them. The Turk is damned in the
estimation of all civilized mankind, not
only for his cruelty and barbarity, but
for his determined opposition to Western
civilization in all its phases. The animus
to rid Europe of his presence has never
been 30 strong before.

GrasshOpper ExterminatOr.

Mr.. J. S. Flory, of Greeley, is the in
ventor of patent grasshopper machine
that promises to be success in gather
ing them in. A reel drives them on n
revolving platform, which passes be-
tween pair of rollers and brushes the
'hoppers. Now, if those who get ma
chimes and catch large quantities of
hoppers will utilize the beasts by drying
them, as the Indians do, they may make
a better thing catching 'hoppers than
raising crops. There is no kind of food
more eagerly sought by all kinds of poul-
try than grasshoppers; and, if any Of the
inventions to catch them by wholesale
succeed, we may soon see them quoted
in our markets at the head of the list of
chicken feed, and eggs will not be selling
at 40 cents dozen. Judge Brazee, who
is chicken farmer in small way, tried
the effect of grasshoppers and patent
nest on q young pullet last season. Some
days he gathered over dozen eggs.
That ambitious biddy laid herself gray
headed before she was out of pullet-age.

Going Back to Specie Prices.

The Palmer House, Chicago, the largest and
finest hotel in the world, containing over 700
rooms (and the only ire-proof house in America,
has reduced the price to Three Dollars per day
for all rooms above the parlor floor, except
parlors and rooms with baths.
Sir Rose Lambert Price, Baronet, in his in
teresting book of travels, entitled " Tloo
Americas" speaks thus
"We put up at the Palmer House Hotel,
"Chieago, Ills, without any exception the
"finest, best conducted, and most comfortable
"one ever saw in America. The reception
"rooms were almost regal the bedrooms were
simply the perfection of comfort, each having
ga handsome marble bath in a small chamber
attached to them the cuisine was excellent
sand liberal attendance the best 1 have ever
"seen and the charges not bit higher than
"ths tariff at any ordinary frst-class house."
When the entire country has received shock
from the recent hotel horror, the public should
be informed that there is at least one hotel in
America which liz absolutely and tEaqtestiOndbty
fire-proof, stone, iron, marble and concrete be-
ing used in its construction, instead Of wood,
hath and plaster. This firs-proof palace cost
the owner and proprietor, Mr.. Potter Palmer,
;:750,000 more than house built with the or
diuary combustible materials.

Beyond The bur ting greenness OF the WOODS
Unto the IN 'ty, mountain sohtudes: ..>s.
Has April b eathed her sweet ana chansei"
But i'm the 'ded buds and leaves, and higher,
where n L tae small birds in the mr. tree spire,
Through al the world there Drea'no' '''' N
A mystic influence broods DER hidden things
The caterpillar, in his drowsy rings
Dreams purple pictures OF his future WINGS
A sweet presentiment fills the intense,
OIeer air The brooks hang In suspense
Among the rocks The small grass feels sense
Prophetic of a Joy most strange and dear,
For 10 May lifts the door-latch OF the year
Doon ont of sight where earths great mystery lies
Shut up within her heart forever, flies
A thrill along the unseen arteries.
within the tangled roots Of beech and lime,
The sweet saps pulsate they blindly climb
And sprout their tasseled greenness ere its time.
Along the stream the whispering PUSHES say
To one another, how the gentle May
Brings in the sunshine OF dearer day.
And TO the sweet-breathed violets that blow
An azure margin TO their silver iow
The garrulous ripples tattle as they go.
Sick with desire, the lily bells turn pale
The wandering cowslips peep from every dale:
And daisies stand on tiptoe through the vale.
The amorous boughs bend toward her, far and near,
While May stands in the doorway of the year.
AT her charmed coming, at the far South, where
IL fingered for her bidding calm and fair,
The sunshine flows through al the happy air.
Aeril arches of the sunset dyes
Der the enchantment of her presence rise,
And span the glory of the bending skies.
Now roll the minutes to the golden hour,
And now the bud fuflls the perfect flower;
Now Earth puts on her beauty's crown and power.
From the low easement of the cottage room,
To the far distance where the dim hills loom,
The leugths OF meadow lands burst into bloom.
A hundred brooks, down-leaping whence they hung,
And, seeming mad, with many silver tongue,
Sing sweeter songs than ever yet were sung.
The birds all pipe their welcome, bhthe and clear,
While May comes through the doorway of the year.
