To the Editor

10 the Editor:
Here Is balmy little thing
To fill your heart with Joy:
But as II is a song OF spring
send 1t by boy.
THE POEM.
The vine on the cot Is blowing,
The nest Is built In the tree.
And the apple limbs are showing
Their blooms In the fragrant lea.
The bird TO his mate is singing,
The lanbkin skips on the hil,
And the rosy clover's springing
Beside the gurgling rill.
Sir strephon his love is signing,
The cricket begins to chirp,
And the boy In the back yards tying
The can to the brindled purp.
Above the lake In the hollow
That mirrors a cloudess sky
Is darting the airy swallow
And the purple dragon fly.
The bumble-bee In the garden
Runs riot the livelong day,
And Maud in her Dolly Warden
Plucks flowers along the way.
Sir strephon his love is si2hing,
The cricket begins to chirp.
And the hoy in the back yards tying
The can to the brindled purp.

ABE BUZZARD'S PROMISE.
If Allowed His Liberty He Will Lead New
Life-Statement of Minister.

READING, Dec. 25.-The following statement
| from clergyman who had visited the haunts of
Buzzards gang of mountain robbers, is made
public to day;
''BowMANsvILI.E, Pa, Dec %.
"There have been quite a number of reports
circulated in regard to a religious visit made by
Rev. Joseph S Lame and myself 10 the people
residing the Welsh mountains. After the
many raids that had been made upon the resi-
dents of the Welsh mountains by armed men
felt my heart drawn out in sympathy for them,
and suggested to Joseph Lame, pastor of the
Methodist Episcopal Church of Stony Rock that
we pay. them a religious visit He united with
my desire and we drove there, a distance of
| eight miles from this place We found great
amount of misery and degradation We found
1 families living in huts with nothing but the
damp earth for floor; some were living in mud
shanties. We saw families of half-clad children,
where the father was black man and the
mother white woman. But We also found
those who, in their humble homes, are striving to
lead upright lives These have been subjected
TO many trials in having their little homes rudely
disturbed by the officers of the law while in
search of stolen property, for they search all the
houses without any reference to the previous
good character Of the inmates.
I'VE called at the home Of Abram Buzzards
mother, who is married to man by the name of
Daniel Clark. Both she andher husband are pro-
Tossing Christians, and l believe are endeavoring
to lead upright lives They have had their houses
searched some eight times within the past year,
though no stolen property has ever been found
with them. Last week they were called up at
O'clock in the morning, by three men, who
searched their house without as much as show
ing their warrant. | have written to Abram
Buzzard a letter urging him to lead better life.
| received a reply from him. The following is
an extract from it:
60 promised the Lord many days agoif could
be once more d free man L would. 10y His help,
lead new life, and show to the world some
things they now think impossible Ahram Bug
card feels he has been unjustly sentenced. He
said he would as lief be dead as serve hts long
sentence. He is willing to return to Jail for two
years, if, at the end of that time. he could be
free. l think Abram Buzzard desires to lead
better life He tried to work several times but
had to stop on account of officers continually
bounding him. He certainly possesses bright
| mind, and if he becomes good man he certainly
would be useful one. On account of the sus-
picion against them, many, even honest citizens,
have been unable to find employment. and they
are thus in quite destitute circumstances as re-
CARDS food and clothing, especially clothing. as
many of them raise enough on their lets to feed
them.

Burned to Death in Bed.

MANSFIELD, Pa, Dec. 25.-Belrs Hollow. in
the suburbs of this borough, was, early this
morning, the scene of the burning of two houses,
in which one man persisted and family narrowly
escaped like fate. The structure destroyed was
a double frame house. One portion was occu-
pied by John Holmes, his wife and five children,
and the other by Thomas Bell, who lived alone.
At 3 o'clock this morning Holmes entered the
house and accidentally upset lamp, setting fire
10 the building, which burned so quickly that he
had barely time to rescue his family. All efforts
to save Bell were futile. He is supposed to have
been sleeping soundly at the time, and was com
pletely surrounded by flames before he realized
his position. His charred remains were found in
the ruins this afternoon.
