IN MARCH.

More than the days that bring the bursting
pod
/ lie the bare, bleak month when blue birds
come,
Springs harbingers, to their new northern
homo,
And rural walks and woods are seldom trod;
When whistling rustics pillow the breathing
sod.
And floods expand in ponds or plunge in
foam,
And easeless winds about the skyey dome
Erraud the vast activity of God.
The rushing streams and surgIng, shifting
skies,
The melting SHOWS. and varied sun and
shower.
Reveal the toll of resistiess power,
Which sweeps decaylng winter from mems
eyes,
And breathes in languid minds fresh en-
ergies.
Before the budded branch, or earliest flower.

NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS.

Most f the pulpits yesterday threw
out pointers for those who pass resolu-
tons on entering upon new year.
The practice was commended. even if
most of them soon became dead letters
in the individual statute book. Only
Pharisees recognize no bungling in the
moral alignment. and the attempt to
Straighten the lines is wholesome rec
ognition of needs. Legislation of this
sort should be formulated tonight.

ILLEGAL MARRIAGES.

The fact has recently been brought
to notice that the last legislature in
Illinois passed law prohibiting the
marriage of first cousins. 1t escaped
the attention of reporters at the time,
and such marriages have been going on
the past two years as freely as if they
were legal. 1t is hardly probable, how
ever, that the courts will declare them
null, as it would work injustice to inno-
cent parties. There are similar statutes
in New Hampshire, Ohio and Indiana;
and if the results of such alliances are

The Large Bug and Small Potato.

Harrisburg Telegraph
Ex-Attorney General Palmer is fond
of joke, and he isn't put out a
bit if the joke is on him, just SO it is
funny. He dresses very neatly. and is
not given to iewelry except in the mat
ter of scarfpins. and an adornment of
this character once led to remark
about him that set all Wilkesbarre to
laughing. He had purchased very
handsome pin i'll the shape of
bug. which was of rather large
size and pretty conspicuous. 1t
looked like an exaggerated pO-
tato bug. His friends guyed him con-
siderably about it, and that scarfpin
became The talk of the town. One day
a prominent German saioonkeeper
passed Mr.. Palmer as the latter stood at
his office door. looked out OF the corner
of his eye at the scarfpin and smiled.

Rev. William Lloyd, who delivered so
sensible and eloquent eulOgy on the
