A Leaf from the Calendar.

Where wood violets love to grow
Thickly lies the winter snow;
Where the streamlet sung and danced.
And the summer sunbeam glanced
Through the meadow, down the dale,
All is hushed.- and chill, and palel
Where the crow-fOot's tender green
Earliest in the spring is seen;
Where the checkerberries hide
BY the pale arbutus' side,
Ahd the cowslips tipped with gold,
Over hill and dale untold;
Where the ferret, soft and brown,
Stores his nest with pilfered down.,
And the heldmouse in the heather
Sleeps for days and weeks together;
And the squirrel, wise and dumb,
Waits for better days to come;
Lies the winter-bitter strong
Heaped through freezing nights and long;
While the tempest comes and goes,
Sliding swift DER drifted SHOWS;
Clouds above and gloom below;
Tell me-when viii winter gol
When the bud begin to swell;
When the streams leap through the doll;
When the swallows dip and fly,
Wheeling, eircling through the sky;
When the violet bids the rose
Waken from its long repose;
When the gnats in sunshine dance;
When the long bright hours advance;
When the robin by the door
Sings as never he sang before;
Then, when heart, and flower, and wing
Leap and laugh-then comes the spring.

A CORRESPONDENT of the New York
Tribune, writing of plantation life in
Louisiana, says he is convinced that
white men can work all summer in
Southern Louisiana, and, indeed, lin any
portion of the South in which he has
been, except, perhaps, in excessively ma
larial districts, where negroes undoubt-
edly get along much better. "The chief
difficulty" in his opinion, sin the way of
the success of white labor at the South
is psychological one-it is want of
will" This want of will is due, not so
much to climatic conditions-althoug
these undoubtedly do have some effect
on the most energetic temperaments at
ter certain lapse of time-as to the So
cial system before the war, which tend
ed directly and very powerfully to en-
courage idlensss. New blood infused
by immigration cannot fail to produce a
very marked improvement, even in the
sickliest portions of the South.

THE widow and daughter of Old John
Brown are said be living in poverty on
small farm near San Jose, California.
Mrs. Brown is 20 years old and wholly
supported by her good daughter, who is
obliged to perform the rosgh farm work
to earn sufficient food. Their property
is mortgaged for $1,000, and the pay
ment of the interest is serious matter
to the two o1onely women. Substantial

THE people of Carroll county are high
ly excited over buried treasure-gold
and silver coin buried there by the
French when they evacuated Fort Ds-
quesne pittsburgh about one hundred
and fourteen years ago. Acres and acres
of ground nave been dug over, but not a
shekel has yet been found, and, it is
pretty safe to predict, never will be.
The story is like that of lead mines and
salt springs which tradition locates In
amost every township in the State. The
story is that the French carried their
treasure there on sixteen pack horses,
and finding that they were pursued, bu-
ried it near where East Rochester now
stands. The French soldiers who gar
risoned Fort Duquesne had less gold and
silver coin than they could conveniently
carry in their pockets.

The following superstitions handed
down by tradition are yet fervently bo-
loved in some parts of America: White
specks on nails are luck. Whoever
reads epitaphs loses his memory. To
rock the cradle when empty is injurious
to the child. To eat while a bell is toll
ing for o funeral causes toothache. The
growing of Q hen indicates some APP
.proaching disaster. When q mouse
gnaws . gown some misfortune may be
unprecedented. He who has teeth wide
asunder must seek his fortune in some
distant land. Whoever finds q four
leaf trefoil-a shamro-k-should wear
It for good luck. Beggars' bread
should be given to children who are
slow to speak. If a child less than
twelve months old be brought into n
cellar he becomes fearful. When chill
dren play soldiers on tho roadside it
forebodes war. A child grows proud if
suffered to look into q mirror while less
than twelve months old. He who pro-
poses moving into a new house must
send in beforehand bread and q new
broom. Whoever sneezes at an early
hour either hears some good news or
receives some presents the Same day.
Buttoning the Goa awry Dr. pulling IN
a stocking inside out causes matters 10
60 wrong during the day. BY bending
the head TO the hollow of the arm an
initial letter Of the name of ones future
spouse is represented. When wemen
r stufiing beds the mon should not
remain in the house. otherwise the
feathers Will come through the ticks.
When q stranger enters o room. hc
should be obliged to seat himself, if
only for q moment, as he otherwise
takes the children's sleep with him.
Domestic harmony must be preserved
when washing day comes. in order to
insure fine weather.
