Llfe's Year.

What do the changing seasons bring?
fnll nests the storms will render mute
Aud blossoms over thick for fruit;
Too soft breeze. too low a sky,
A day the morrow shall deny
The tickle, fair; delusiye spring.
What do the flying seasons bring?
The tumult OF the thronging sense,
The leaping blood, untamed, Intense:
A IRE that smites through heart and brain
a fierce delight that grows to pain,
HAnd summer bloom that hides stingl
What do the passing seasons hringg,
Ripe fruit that withers Ia It's primes,
Strong grain that drops at harvest time.
The splendid colors OF decay.
The tever-wasted autumn day
In its gay mantle shiVeringY
W hat do the fieeting seasons bringg
a lifeiess desert, pale and vast
Win frozen silence overcast;
forgotten dreams OF Joy and woe
bufied beneath the winter SNOW
And, far, beyond, hope of spring.

rivers and less area Of marsh. The two
so together Thoroughly dredged rivers
mean thoroughly drained meadows
The federal government should be made
to pay for the deepening Of our rivers
and harbors and the state should put its
convicts 70 work and pay for the com
plete draining Of the marshes along the
deeIe 81 rivers. Such policy would add
in SIX or eight years thousands Of acres to
the arabic, valuable and taxable soil Of the
state. It would be Of infinite value to
the health Of the people. 1t would

twenty years.
We DO not object to better roads.
They are needed too But the Delaware
marsh is bigger nuisance than the sand
