And sing, my robin and blue-bird,
Your sweetest czrUl to-day;
For my love has written letter,
Aud the world in all IN tune
He is coming along with the roses,
In the fsirest days Of June.
II am counting the days between us,
In am counting the moments aud hours
Telling my beads like u solemn nun,
On rusary of flowers;
For he said, when the buds Of the Noses
Are flushing in royal red,
He il coming to claim n promise.
Il wonder what l have ssid.)
Break into songs and blossoms,
o birds and buds of spring;
Lilies, scatter Your fragrance,
And, sweetest song birls, sing;
And, skies, drop golden sunshine
On the beautiful days of June,
For my love is cunning 70 see me,
And the world is all in tun"."

The readjusters got into Office by promis-
ing the people retrenchment and relief; but
now that they have secured the per diem and
perquisites of office. they show the least dis
position to cut down the expenses OF the
government, though many hundred thou
sand dollars more than they were before the
war, and the people have yet to see anything
that they have done which promises the
smallest relief from the burdens under
which they roan.-Halita1 Record.
+ On Wednesday the Legislature elected
State officers. The result will be received
with rejoicing by the people throughout
the State, not because it happens that the
repudiationists or Simon-Pure readjusters
were signally defeated, but because the

because our Conservative organization is
