SERVED BY MRS. d. GREEN"
DEAR BULLETIN:-I have started several
times lately to write to you, but something
has always prevented. Some could lay a
letter by and add to it by degrees and in
time get it off; but it makes me sort of
ashamed to read over what | write. 1t

fashion OF letting down her back hair and
combing it to show its extraordinary length
and evenness, always wish she wouldn't,
and want to turn my head.
Darius says it is because have barely
enough of my own to hang my jute braid
on. But ours are two souls whose thoughts
are pretty tolerable double, generally speak

nobody but Mrs. Spoopendyke and me
would credit such nonsense, and that he
verify believes l imagine every newspaper
man tries to emulate the hero of the cherry
tree and.hatched romance. He doesn't be-
lieve everything that is printed, he says;
aud goes SO far as to doubt the account of
that dinner party at which Gath tells of
his miraculous recovery of health from the
use of Warmers Safe Remedy. 1t MUST be
a true story, for l have seen it several
times.
The other day Chicago journal said
that certain flattcring mention of Mary An
derson might be due to 'snifter" of Ken
lucky "sourmash" sent to England by the
la iy's stepfather. Darius chuckled over
the paragraph and thought it deserved
dis at the intemperance across the river.

Well, Borcas has made his exit from the
stage for the present-gone to the Pole to
recuperate and laugh with the Northwest
Passage, over the pigmies' attempts to dis

crystalzed and beautifed every twig and
blade of grass. When the sun shone upon
the red oak leaves and shimmered among
the icicles upon every vine and branch, the
rugged old fellow may well have been
pleased with the admiration of those fortu-
nate mortals who beheld the closing tableau
OF the season.

Bedew our long and last farewell"
An intermission of dull, quiet days fol-
lowed. Nature was saving herself for
something, evidently. No one could tell
what the next entertainment would be, but
on last Tuesday evening spring burst upon
us. We were not mistaken when we thought
we heard the rumbing of her approaching
chariot. The quick Wheels smoking with
their rapid journey from southern climes,
were enveloped in clouds that served to
temper the dewy freshness of the sunny
maidens smile as she bowled along.
The transcendent beauty Of her first ap-
pcarance for the new year was thrilling. 1t
could not have been so in town; but out

row streets outlined with houses which
hamper the vision, earth and sky were
Transformed in manner BETTING the occa-
sion. After the shower the sun shonc out
bright and clear, illumining the wood to
the eastward and bringing into bold relief
the trunks of the trees, moss-grown and
sh .ded grey and green. Their gigantic
tops towering high above the level mead
ows this side-for in Csche Bottom we
have kingly specimens of monarch, of the
forest-were dyed crimson, purple and gold.
Over all was rainbow, while to the south
east the lightning yet flashed from dark
cloud. Natures diamonds glittered in the
grass at our feet, near by q tiny stream,
swollen to its greatest magnitude, rushed
along with all its little might, gurgling to
itself as it leaped from root to root of the
gnarled old tree that stands in its way.
AS we gazei the brilliant colors began to
darken, the dainty tints of the graceful
arch began to dim, and we turned to see
