Tlnyc the flowers with colorS bright,
Their fragrance seems around me now.
Hove 10 hear the wedding-belIs,
Like angel sounds they are 10 me;
Hove the tale the streamlet tells,
Apleasimg tale, from fancy free.
love wOman's sOftest words;
I love the lip that kisses me;
love the happy song of birds,
And love the cumming bumbie-bee.
love this glorious summer heat:
love the passing gentle breeze;
I love with genial friends 10 meet;
dearly love Limburger cheese.
l love TO go down by the sea
And let my spirit spread her wings;
To peel my coat, 10 laugh with Slee,
And feast on HOLSTERS, crabs, and things.

CONDITIONS Of T1E LOWER FLOOD.

st. Louis, May THE river is now
falling at the rate of about one-half inch
per hour, and everyone seems to think
no great amount Of additional damage
will be done, either in this or East St.
Louis. The water is still spreading over
the bottoms, of course, but as the rise has
ceased reaction will soon set in and the
flow will soon be toward instead OF from
the river. The lowlands east ornorth of
Venice are rapidly filing up from the
break Of Yesterday at Horseshoe lake.
but it is hoped that the river will fall 80
fast that no great damage will be done.
