For the SPECTATOR
vERNAL SYMPTOMS.
q la Walt Whitman.

The terrene tocsin is attune!
The tomtit tooteth on the tangling tw1g!
The farmer fitch the fertilizer to the 1urrow
and fatteth the field!
The grounding giveth gleefu grin ana "aN-
eth his wand unto the woful Virgins!
And Hark! Hear to the narrowing nue. oi tne
horrifying hand-organ!
The glebe awakeneth. and in the morass dank
hooteth the blinking frog.
The woodland cabbage snias the INVOCATION
and stabs the forest mould with sap green
bulb.
The birches flop their peanut-shapen UPS
athwart the tumbling cauldron OF the
brook.
And in the rocky chink the toadlet ways MS
ear, and waits him patient for the uncon-
scious fly.
O clipper the chirp of the chickadee!
And noiselessly the nesting numbereth the
nuggets in her nest.
PIuckily the peasant planteth the potato for
the plunderous potato-bug.
The plumber punctuateth his plumb; the
maiden masketh her in marvellous MILL
merry and bridgeth her brow with brand
new bonnet,
While the poet boometh to such an extent that
the waste basket burstetb, and the tariff
on vernal odes is reduced to two cents per
load.

A CARD.

In retiring from the mercantile business,
cannot refrain from expressing the regret
teel in thus severing the relation that has so
pleasantly existed with my patrons since Sept.
1sts 1877. des re to thank my many friends,
aud the public generally, for the very gener-
Gus manner in which they have patron'zed

was organized March End, 1923. was elected
Secretary of the same. Its business having
grown far beyond our most sanguine expecta-
lions, I found it was necessary to sell my
hardware business, which l did on the 18th
inst, to Messrs. A. G.. Woods & Co., whom
take pleasure in commencing to my friends,
and he public generally. Ny friends are cor.
daily invited to call and see me at the office

IMPORTANT TO MERCHANTS AND OTHERS
All persons desiring to take out license for any
purpose should remember that the law now
requires that they shall frat pay to the Treas
urer of the city or county the amount re
quired for such license, and with the Treasu-
rer's certificate that they have paid the re-
quired amount, they can obtain the license from
the Commissioner of Revenue.
Attention to this fact will save much trouble,
for the Commissioner of Revenue cannot issue
a license except upon the certificate Of the
Treasurer.
