'Tis springtime now the voice of song
Is heard from mountain and glen;
And thousand gems of beauty tllrong
The paths where her feet have been.
The sheen Of her royal robe is Sc,
With many blossom bright
Yet her giitteFing breast is often wet
With tear drops Of the night
Tho genial glow of the azure sky
Is sometimes clouded o'er;
But when the wrathful storm goes by
1t shineth as before.
And brighter, perchance, the sunset hour,
Flooding the hill with gold
And the fruitage of the vine-wrcath' i hew ?,
Increased by hundred fold.
'Tis springtime now with tt.se. my friend,
The morning is bright and fair;
And know the path thou hast chosen
Is halleN',l by many prayer.
roa glance down the far-off way
'Tis broidered with fragrant flawes,
And strains of music rich ansf gay
Float from enchanted bowers.
You journey on but amid the flowers
The t2siers too have grown:
And heard with the silvery cash OF song
Is wailing undertone.
o. lifes cup hath dregs that are bitter,
Which sometimes thy lips must press;
And thy bnrdened soul viii cry for Pest
Amid its deep distress.
But do not think It's by the fire
The gold is freed from dross
Jesus himself will be thy strength,
Look thou unto His cross.
And may You gather many sheaves.
As trophies of His love,
That as stars shall be your fa,se.ess crown,
In the beautiful home above.

We desire TO call the attention of the B9r-
ough authorities to the dangerous condition
in which all the railroad crossing within
the borough limits are in, especially the
one at the east end of Main street. They
have been extremely generous to the rail-
road company in granting them the right of
way &C., and they should have nohesitancy
in compelling them at once 10 repair all
crossings in such manner that they can be
travelled over with comfort and safety. They
should also see that their recently adopted
ordinances in regard to the rate of $, ,.eed at
which trains are to be allowed TO run within
the borough limits and engines to be stop
ped on or near crossings should be rigidly
enforced. One day of last week gentle
man from Meyersdale ON leaying town was
unable to cross the road on Main street, on
account of an engine standing so near the
crossing that he could not get his horse to
go over and was compelled TO turn and go
over mile out Of his way before he could
cross the road
