SPRING POETS.

A philanthropic writer in the June Allan
tic defends that much abused and derided
class of poets who annually address gushing
lines to Spring, as follows: Il want to offer
a word of deep sympathy with that scofed- at
tribe whom editors revile at this time of the
year-the authors of spring poetry. There
is something pathetic to me in this universal
outburst of Joy, What bleak and wretched
reasons lie behind it; what months of black
ness and distress; what an ''infnite deep cho-
rus of hollow coughs and neuralgia groans,
of endurance that is forced and patience that
is born of necessity Who cares about blue
birds in Florida? 1t is the maddened crowd
who have been butfeted five month with the
fierce blasts and SHOWS of New England; who
have found the heavens brass and the earth
iron, and been tossed from the scorched fury
of the national stove into the deadly grippe and
glare of the national climate, like human shut
tlecocks, who "drop into poetry at the whls-
tie of the first bird, or the breath of the first
south wind Piteous rhymsters one heart
ut least beats with and for you, and longs to
shou: from the housetops that spring is COM
ing, and the doors of our prison house creak
on their slow hinges at last.

Nineteen pensioners OF the British army
hold Lord ,,Beac onsfield partly responsible
for the fact that they are detitute in Mon
treal. The yread his glowing description
of Canadian Eldorado, to which, &C
cording to his lordship, the pioneers of
the Western States of the Union were
flocking in droves, and, probably with
view of heading off the acquisitive
Yankees, they started for Ameica. They
found Canada not the place they pictured
it, and are now living OH bread and cheese
in Montreal, at the expense of the Do
minion Government. They will probably
be sent back to England.
A famour English general says that in
a British regiment Of a thousand men
there are, in his experience, usually fifty
men who, as a forlorn hope, will dc
anything; that nine hundred men who
would either gape or run will follow the
fifty, and that the other fifty are ours

The Probable Effect.

The news that the imperial govern
ment Of Germany proposes to enlarge its
army will have depressing effect Oh
Europe. One of the results ofthe move.
ment will be to increase the emigration
of Germans to America. What with the
distress in Ireland, the agitation and de.
preston in business in England and the
uneasy political situation in Germany,
compared with our own prosperity, II
would not surprise us to see the emigra-
ton to the United States larger next
year than it has been for long time
