Spring and Work.
BY MRS. c. p. s.

The spring of 1878 seems to have SGT
fairly in in Orange county. The flower
pots are full Of daffodils and blue
h%yacinths and Japan ounce, the violet
stands are full Of ~violets, and there is
a tendency to let the fires die out in
the middle of the day, and to sit with
windows open. Out of doors the air
is smoky from innumerable little bon
fires in everybody's gardens, where
the corn-stalks and dry grass and
trimmings from the shrubbery are
being burned. Every now and then a
rooster crows somewhere in the dis
lance while the man who is spreading

and get our peas and onions in the

alder and the dog-tooth ~violets and the

arbutus will be found before these

The spring season with all its charm
and seduction to outdoor life vet
brings TO most housekeepers an in
crease OF work indoors which keeps
them more closely confined than is at
all for their good. Happy she who

to use many of the long winter even
