April, at its best, is the tenderest of
tender Salads It's 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 of 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 elfin 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 shutdown, the
campfire in the sugar-bush, the smoke
seen afar rising over the trees, the tinge
of green that comes so suddenly on the
sunny knobs and slopes, the full trans
lucent streams, the waxing and warming
sun-how these things and others like
them are noted by the eager eye and ear!
Then it's odors [ am thrilled by it's
fresh and indescribable odors-the per
fume of the bursting sod, of the quick
ened roots and rootlets, of the mold
under the leaves, of the fresh burrows.
The season of which l speak does not
correspond with the April Of the almanac.
in all sections of our vast geography.
1t answers to March in Virginia and Ma
ryland, while in parts of New York and
New England it laps well over into May.
It begins when the partridge drums,
when the hylas pipes, when the
shad start up the rivers, when
the grass green's in the spring runs,
and it ends when the leaves are unfold
ing and the last snowflake dissolves in
mid-air. 1t is the first of May when the
first swallow appears, when the whip
poor-will is heard, when the wood-thrush
sings, but it is April as long as there is
snow upon the mountains, no matter
what the almanac may say. Our April
is, in fact, kind of Al pine summer. full
of such contrasts and touches of wild.
delicate beauty as no other season af-
fOrds.
The fields of wheat and rye, too, how
they stand out of the April landscape
great green squares on field of brown
or gray
Then is there anything like a perfect
April morning? One hardly knows what
the sentiment of tits, but it is something
very delicious. 1t is youth and hope.
It is a new earth and o new sky. How
the air transmits sounds, and what an
awakening, prophetic character all sounds
have The distant barking of dog, or
the lowing of a COW, or the Growing of
cock, seems from out the heart of nature
and to be a call to come forth. The
great sun appears to have been rebur-
nished, and there is something in his
first glance above the eastern hills, and
the way his eye-beams dart right and left
and smite the rugged mountains into
gold, that quiekens the pulse and in
spires the heart. -Scrjb1aer for AprH

A Bride of Ten Million Dollars.

A correspondent Of the London NeaUs
writes from Constantinople 81 beg to

which may perhaps give them a clue as
to the real reason Of Midhat Pasha's
downfall : Twenty days before it hap

him, by the representative of power
which has always shown the greatest
hostility to Midhat, and whose interest
it was to displace him at any cost.
But said the Sultan, knowing your
fidelity to me, and your devotion to the
throne and your country, I have refused,
and always shall refuse any such pro-
pesals, be the inducement offered what

Not Guilty.

When a grocer's boy yesterday deliv-
cred q basketful of packages to lady on
Columbia street, her quick eye detected
the fact that she had received only eleven
oranges in place of dozen.
"Young man, you ate that other orange
as you came alongr' she exclaimed, as
she recounted the number.
Never-never p he earnestly replied
"Well, where is it, then ?"

"Well, I'll go right back with you and
see"
II didn't eat that orange" he began,
after little reflection, "but I'll tell you
how it was. Down here about two blocks
I saw an old chap out in his garden, his
hat hanging on plum tree as he sawed
limb. He was the baldheadedest man [
ever saw, ma'am, and I've travelled all
over the world.
"Well, what has that to do with the
orange?" she asked.
"Lots, 'am-heaps. IF you was a
boy, and you saw such head, and you
knew you could hit it and get away all
right, wouldn't you put an orange agin
it?"

swered.
"Well, I dunno but twas, but if you'd
seen that old gent catch his legs and

Slavery i'm Cuba.

Some statistics are published by the
Spanish Government to show that the
number of slaves in Cuba is gradually
decreasing, under the operation of the
Gradual Emancipation law The fact is,
the revolution has good deal to do with
the diminution of the slave population.
Many colored men have escaped from
their masters to enter the patriot ranks,
and all of them who have lived within.
Or can get within, the patriot lines, are
thereby emancipated.

Drowned.

From the records Of the New York
Health Board many sad statistics may be
gathered. It appears that during 1875
no less than 267 bodies of drowned per-
sons were found in the waters that sur
round the city of New York, and OF
these 24O were unidentified, and were
buried as unknown. During the
nine months from Jan. to Oct. 1, 1876,
the remains of $50 persons were discov-
cred in the rivers, and Of these 1873 were
not identified

At the Party.
Half dozen children
At our house
Half dozen children
Quiet as mouse,
Quiet as d moonbeam,
You could hear pin
Waiting for the party
To begin.
Such a flood OF flounces!
% dear meD
Such a surge of sashes,
Like silken sea.
Little eyes demurely
Cast upon the ground,
Little airs and graces
All around.
High time for that party
To begin
To sit so any longer
We're sort of sin;
As if you weren't acquainted
With societyg
What q thing to tell Of
That would be!
Up spoke little lady
Aged five;
"' I've tumDied up my 0Ver-dresS
Sure as I'm alive!
My dress came from Paris;
We sent to Worth for it
Mother says she calls it

Quick there piped another
Little voice:
80 didn't send for dresses,
Though had my choice;
! have got a doll that
Came from Paris, too
1t can walk and talk as
Well as you ~
Still till now, there sat one
Little girl;
Simple as a snow-drOp,
Without II dounce or curl,
Modest rs primrose,
Soft, plain hair brushed back,
But the color of her dress was
Black-an black.
Swift she glanced around with
Sweet surprise
) Bright and grave the look that
Widened in her eyes.
TO entertain the party
She must do her share,
Stood she there
Stood q minute thinking,
With crossed hands,
How she best might meet the
Company's demands.
Grave and sweet the purpose
TO the child's voice given;
80 I have little brother
Gone to heavenn
On the little party
Dropped a spell;
d All the little fOunces
Rustled where they fell;
But the modest maiden,
In her mourning gown,
Unconscious as a flower
Looketh down.
Quick my heart besought her,
Silently;
e" Happy little maiden,
Give, give to me
The highness of your courage,
The sweetness Of your grace,
TO speak a large word, in a.
Little place !"

ONE HONEST TRAMP DISCOVERED
As proof that the tramp is not always
the soulless creature that he is generally
credited with being, we note one Incl
dent to his credit which recently hap
peped. One Of these wayfarcrs called at
the house Of citizen and begged pair
of pants with which to cover bis naked
ness, and received them with gratitude.
Shortly after his departure he returned,
saying that in the fob pocket he had
found gold ring, inscribed with mi
tials, which be thought might at least be
valuable from association, and he had
therefore found his way back to restore
it. The ring had been missing for some
months, and was gladly received by the
rightful owner. Score one for the tramp.

Description Of 4 WaterspOut.

The clouds grew very dark and threat
ening, and Immediately the course of the
vessel was changed from southeast to due
north, in order to run away from the point
toward which the storm seemed to be
centering, which proved to be on our
port bow. Gradually the clouds, which,
by the by, were forming in strait, grew
almost black, and seemed to be about
three miles away. A breeze having
sprung up suddenly led us to think we
we're certain to have our, thus far, re-
markably smooth passage interrupted by
an Indian Ocean storm, or possibly cy-
clone. But instead. to our great pleasure,
we saw emerging from the dense mass OF
cloud most distinctly marked water
spout. We could see perfectly we'll the
water rise, in the shape of Q cylinder, to
a considerable height from the ocean,
when the revolutions of the wind grew
larger, and the water, being carried by
the wind, spread out in the form of tun-
mel, larger and larger, until it became
lost in the clouds. The spout was draw
ing water for about fifteen minutes, when
We noticed that its junction with the
ocean was broken, and it then looked al
most precisely like the lower part Of a
balloon as it floats in the air, Tapping
from side to side. Gradually this lower
part disappeared from the bottom up
ward, until it was wholly lost in the
clouds. Almost Immediately afterwsrd
We saw on the surface of the water what
looked like steam rising, but what proved
to be the spray caused by very heavy
fall of rain; on it came until it reached
US, when, for at least thirty minutes, it
rained as hard as l ever saw it rain any

money in the treasury. The bondholders
brought suit and obtained judgment, but
Baxter Springs appealed. These rapa-
cious robbers must be foiled at any cost.
A happy thought came. The citizens
were not individually responsible except
while they continued residents of Baxter
Springs. So they selected convenient
site just outside the city limits, moved
their personal effects and what buildings
they could, and migrated in body. Bax-
ter Springs remains u deserted city, and
the first one to become runaway debtor.

The Poor in the Country and City.

Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly says:
at is only those who live in rural dis
tricts who are familiar with the vicissi-
tudes of the poor"
Now few things but Frank Leslie's
Popular Monthly, or dime novel, could
manage to miss the truth, so far as this
remark. There is not one suffering with
cold and hunger in the country, where
there are thousand in the city. None
but the sick and drunk and the lazy are
hungry in the country. There is no
protracted struggle with starvation-no
close calculation, continued month after
month, to determine how little bread
aud meat will keep soul and body to-
gether. The poor man, who could not
raise ten dollars perhaps, or even ten
cents on his credit, may have rough
home, a coarse bed and patched pants,
but he fares sumptuously every day as
compared with the stinted diet of the
thousands Of the city, who struggle to
appear respectable.
In the country, work will always buy
the corn, meat and potatoes, that give
health, strength and courage-and the
trusty rifle will give the game to load
his table with luxurious fare.
Let those who live in the country,
stay in the country, if they wish to eat,
drink and fare well every day, and lead
honest. happy lives. II IN the city and
