SPRING.

Gentle Spring; in sunshine clad,
Well dost thou thy power display
For Winter maketh the light heart sad,
And thou, thou makest the sad heart gay.
He sees thee, and calls TO his gloomy train,
The sleet, and the snow, and the wind, and th
rain;
And they shrink away, and they fee in fear,
When thy merry step draws near
Winter givsth the fields and the trees, so old,
Their boards of icicles and snow;
And the rain, it raineth so fast and cold
We must cover over the smbers low;
And, snugly housed from the wind and weather,
Nope like birds that are changing feather,
But the storm retires, and the sky grows clear,
When thy merry step draws near.
Winter maksth the sun in the gloomy sky
Wrap him round with q mantle Of cloud;
But, Heaven be praised, thy step is nigh;
Thou tearest away the nournful shroud,
And the earth looks bright, and Winter surly,
Who has toiled for naught both late and early
Is banished afsr by the new born year.
When thy merry step draws near.

Bachelors and Fiirts.

Some old bachelors git after flirt,
and don't travel as fast as she dez,
and then concludes awl the female
group are hard to ketch, and good for
nothing when they are ketehed.
A flirt is a rough thing to overhaul,
unless the right dog gets after her,
and then they make the very best of
wives.
When Hirt really is in love, she
is as powerless as mown daisy.
Her impudence then changes into
modesty, her cunning into fear, her
spurs into halter, and her pruning
hook into q cradle.
The best way to ketch a flirt, is
tew travel the other way from which
they are going, or sit down on the
ground and whistle some lively tune
till the airt comes round.
Old bachelors make the flirts, and
then the tlirts get more than even, by
making the old bachelors.
A majority of flirts get married
finally, for they hev great quantity
of the most dainty titbits of woman's
nature, and alwus have shrewdness to
back up their sweetness.
Flirts don't deal in poetry and
water grewel; they hev got to hev
brains, or else somebody would trade
them out of their capital at the first
sweep.
Disappointed luv must Nv course
be all on one side; this amt any
more excuse fur being an old bach
elor, than it is fur man to quit all
kinds of manual labor, jist out OF
spite, and jine poor-house bekase

An old bachelor will brag about his
freedom to you, his relief from anx-
iety, hiz Independence. This IL a
dead beat, past resurrection, for every
body knows there amt more anx-
ious dupe than he IL. All his dreams
are charcoal sketches of boarding
house misses; he dresses, greases his
hair, paints his grizzly mustache, cul.
tivates bunyons and corns, tew please
his captains, the women, and only gets
LATED at fur his pains.

Early Marriage.

A school-boy and girl in Ohio,
lately, aged respectively eighteen and
sixteen, belonging to families of good
social standing, but Strengthened in
means, eloped and were married. The
lad struggled for few months to sup
port his wife, but he had neither trade
nor profession, and appears to have
been a week, sentimental boy, phySi-
cally unfit for the hard, manual labor
to which he was driven. Despair and
want at last unsettled his reason, and
a few weeks ago he shot both himself
and his wife, "to end" as he wrote,
"this miserable failure of living"
He succeeded in killing himself, but
his wife lived, a wretched woman,
aged in passion, in misery, and in all
the tragic possibilities of life while yet
only child in years.
Almost every one of our readers has
known among his acquaintance one
such hasty marriages of immature
young people. They did not, perhaps,
end in suicide and murder, but in
slow wearing wretchedness.
A lad meets girl at picnic or par
ty. He falls in love with her, because
she leads the German gracefully. She
has an equally sure foundation for life
long happiness, in his fine tenor voice
or black moustache. The command oil
their parents or advice of friends is re-
garded as cruel interference with the
holy passion of love; they rush head
long into marriage.
The boy knows nothing of the diff.
culties of life beyond his Cesar, alge.
bra, and the baseball ground. To the
girl, the world has consisted of "the
girls" new dresses, and unlimited car
amels. So equipped they set out to-
gether to face the trials that wrench
the souls of men and women to main
tain household, to rear up children
Their lives often results in that wretch
edness which follows heavy duties ant
total incompetency for them, The
transient fancy which they mistook fol
love passes away, and too often mutua
disgust follows.
As q rule, too, disease and prema
ture age follow the attempts to carry
wife and mothers burden in early
youth. The husband, by dint Of in
tercourse with men, gains knowledge
far in advance of his wife, and regards
her as a dead weight, a mill-stont
hung around his neck. Thus tw,
lives which, If they had matured slow
ly, might have been strong. beautiful
and helpful, are ruined by that head
strong mistake of day.--N. Y

Handy Hints for the House.

A perplexed housekeeper wants to
know what she shall do with the tin
cans that from day to day accumulate
about the house-fruit cans, meat
cans of all kinds, cans, cans, cans,
and thousand cans. Well, if you
keep q boarding house, you might
throw them out into the street, right
in front of the house, as a bait for the
homeless man seeking a boarding
house. If you have home, how
ever, you might utilize the cans in
many ways.
You might take the tomato cans,
FIJI them with soft, rich earth, and
plant paDsy seed in them, and by-and
by a whole handful OF all sorts of
weeds would come up. Then you
could take the can to the pottery and
have the potter cast a nice terra Gotta
vase about it, so as to completely hide
the can, and thus at trifling ex-
pense, not over a few dollars, you
could utilize your old tomato can as o
garden vase.
Or, you could take q lobster can,
and bore three holes at equal dis
tances in the sides close to the open
ed end. Then cover the can as thick
ly as you need with the fine plastic
material used in the manufacture Of
ch cap statuettes, and employ some
good artist to fashion it in graceful
shape and beautiful designs. Their

"Yaas, there's money made in stocks,

removed his hat and ran his fingers
through his gray locks, "but it's a

PLAYING Marriage.

A case OF playing at marriage" has
just been decided by the Supreme
Court of the State of New York, and
the results should be a warning to
thoughtless youths who indulge in
such foolish performances. A young
couple were married in the presence
of large party, as a scene in some
private theatricals, and legal friend
of the parents notified them that the
marriage was actual instead Of ficti-
tious. The case was taken through
the several courts to the Supreme
Court, and Justice Folger, who was
talked of for Secretary of the Treas
ury, released them, but in his opinion
clearly defined what constitutes mar
riage in the State Of New York as
follows: "By the law of this State q
man and woman who are competent
to marry each other, without going
before a minister or magistrate, with.
out previous public notice given
with no form of ceremony, civil or re.
igious, and with no record or written
evidence of the act kept, and merely
by words of present contract between
them, may take upon themselves rela.
ton of husband and wife, and be
bound TO themselves, to the State, and
society as such and if after that the
marriage is denied, proof of aetna
cohabitation as husband and wife
acknowledgement and recognition O.
each other to friends and acquaint
ances and the public as such, ant
the general reputation thereof, viii
enable a court to presume that there
was in the beginning an actual bon'
fide marriage"

The designations of Senators
Conkling and Platt have been re-
ceived, and the empire State is now
unrepresented in the United States
Senate. The course of the Admins
tratlon is very bitterly assailed in
the joint letter of resignation.
Great excitement prevails all around.
No election, to fill the vacancy,
will take place until May 81.
The New York Tribune in COM
menting on the matter says: "Sen-
ators Conkling and PIatt have re-
signed. They give their reasons in
a letter to Governor Cornell, which
he sent to the assembly last evening
They also formally informed the
Vice-President. The news produced
a profound sensation throughout the
country. Tie conduct of the ex-
Senators was sharply condemned in
Washington and elsewhere. In Al
bany the excitement was intense.
An active canvass was begun to SCI
cure the reelection of Messrs.
Conkling and Platt. The Admins
tration Republicans are confident
that they can defeat that purpose.
Some Republican Senators will res
fuse to enter a caucus. No election
can take place before May 81, as the
State Senate adjourned, so that it
should not receive the formal notice,
last evening"
