"Spring."

March is the first spring month,
but the leaves never appear until the
second month (April.) May is called
4" the month of roses;" then the lilac
and locust put forth their fragrant
blossoms. think it is delightful to
go to the woods in May, and see the
thousands of little wild flowers and in
hale their delicious perfume; and to
see the trees all clothed in bright YER
durc, and feel the nice little showers
that come to water the thirsty earth.
Once little maiden said to the
spring when it was late in coming
"spring, why are you waiting nOw2
Why ore you so long unfelt?
Winter went month OgO,
When the snow began to melt"
think it is SO nice to see all the
fruit trees in bloom, and hear the bees
buzzing about in them.s But I like,
best of all, to get up early in the
morning and go down in the garden
and see everything sparkling with
dew; the grass and clover fields look
like a great floor covered with dia-
monds, and it hangs down on each
little strawberry and makes them look
like little painted bells. like to see
the COWS go out in the morning and
eat as much as they can, and then at
night come home and lay down TO rest
at their leistire. The horses, too,
work bard all day, and at night come
trudging home to get good fresh
drink at the brook and the nice sup
per that awaits them of sweet clover
hay. Iguess they think it tastes very
nice after the dry food they have had
all winter. o! think spring is the
sweetest time of the year.

PoETIcAL.
The Beloved One.

My thoughts will turn to early home,
Where youths bright days were past;
And while from friend to friend they roa,
They hold one dear one fast.
Her mild blue eyes and joyous face
Were like the star-lit sky;
Her lovely form and perfect grace
Enchanted every eye.
1knew her through life's dawning hour,
When smiles with tears could play:
And saw her, like an opening flower,
New charms on charms display.
met her next. endearcd to fame,
When beautY's buds had bloomed;
Like rosy morn she gently came.
With loves soft blush ilumed.
And next saw her on the bier,
With pale and wax like face.
Bedewed with many falling tear
From friendships last embrace.
Before her MONDAY, reached its height
Her sun forever set;
But left on virtues path light
That glows upon it yet.
And such is life!-a bud-u flower
And then stricken stem;
It's ordeal. whether sun or shower,
To death will soon condemn.
But death is life! and life is death,
To saints like her, forgiven;
The angel-haud that closed her breath,
Has borne her soul to Heaven.
