SUMNER AND SUMNER SOUNDS AND
SIGHTS.

All the poets have had something to say
and sing of Summer. Lucy Larcom-swee
Lucy!-is among the latest and sweetest o
the Summer songsters. Contemplating ont
of these drowsy June afternoons she sings:
The sun hangs calm at summers poise;
| The earth lies bathed in shimmering noon
At rest from all her cheerful noise,
With heartstrlngS silently In tune.
The time how beautiful and dear
When early fruits begin Il blush,
And the full LEAKAGE of the year
SwAys Ger them with snelterng hush!
| The clouds that fieck the warm blue Deep
Like shoals Of tinted fishes float
From breathess or the birds asleep
Send now and then dreaming note
Yesterday there came a man with face
aglow with perspiration and a good deal Of
linen duster upon his back and asked if he
mi ht have some roses. He looked the very
last man in the universe to entertain any
floral weaknesses. But he owned up that the
sight and smell of green leaves, the singing of
birds aud the rare sight of blossoming rose
trees had set him to longing for a nosegay.
When a mans eyes have been bleared and
blistered, Winter and Summer for a long and
weary time with the dead landscape which
stretches affair from the sides OF Mount David
son these greeneries of ours are inxepresslbly
charming. No constant dweller by murmur
ing brooks and shady forests, green fields and
verdant lawns knows the fitness of the pleas
ure of such visitors as were yesterday poured
into the Farmers groves and grounds To
be denied these refreshing sights and sur
roundings is to breed an hunger for the like.
There will be many such an eager seeking for
our grass plots and bowers this hot Summer;
and it is gratifying thing that we can show
so pleasant and inviting neighhorship to our
Comstock visitors. We venture that unac-
customed ears heard more of the singing of
birds and chirping of crickets, rustling of
leaves and reiteration of Summer voices"
yesterday than is dreamt of by those who
live unrelieved of their monotony, in desert
plains and on sombre mountain sides Many
a little nose got burned and many fair cheek
freckled; many pcnicer went away weary
and tired of limb and body; but the plunge
into this rare and abundant foliage is too full
Of pleasant changes to be weighed down by
any small mishaps or temporary inconve-
niences Everybody becomes a botanist and
a bug hunter, an OrnithOlogist and an author
ty on trees and tree-culture just as regularly
rs the season comes round This mild mono
mania comes on with the first warm sunlight
If April 1t tiuctuates through tickle May |
md renews its genie furies when June |
arrives with its fierce and glowing sun. In |
he midst Of these small, insanities are the be- |
bringing of new forms of plants and leaves;
buds that present shapes and scents with
which we are all unacquainted; and the most
amiliar vines and weeds puzzle us and set
,ur doubts at play. The earth, renewing her
demands our homage; and We yield
t in the form of such emotional longings and
,retences as find expression in these inl OK
Gus lunacies. But it is well thus to be pos
Iuent, our leisure days none too abundant,
'ur idle hours all too wide apart or all too
oolishly wasted. But this will turn out a
ernon if we do not have care. And We do
lot propose to sermonize all the time.
