A WINTER SONG.

There is break in the winter, dearest,
Peace in the blue airs untarnished realm,
Snowdrops are out, and an early throstle
Marbles ere dawn on our tallest elm.
Let us go up to the hiIl-pines yonder,
Tidings to catch, If we can, of spring,
Larks will be loud o'er the bleak fields, dearest,
Maybe the robin at Shirley sing.
Look, to the heart OF the dark plantation
Soft CLEANS of tenderness steal and stay,
Murmurs. above us, around us, dearest,
Almost the hum of summers day.
Winter of sorrow has wounded, dearest,
Track of our footsteps has been by graves
Spring-time is near, and comfort and beauty,
Love that transfgures, and lifts, and saves.
London Spectator.

IT is interesting to observe that while
Hon. w. L. Scott insists that the Democracy
shall stand by the original Mills bill, he cannot
reconcile himself to the proposition for an
amendment made by the Hon. Roger O. Mills
The latter statesman has just conceived the
idea that the principle of free raw material
calls for the repeal of the duty on coal. Mr..
Scott could never consent to any such change
of base as that Mr.. Scott has few coai in
terests of his own, and does not propose to let
maxims interfere with his market.

AS now arranged, the Bishop of Wheeling to
visit some parts of his diocese, must pass

difficulties for each Bishop to have under his
jurisdiction faithful belonging to different
States, and of course subject to different laws.
For these two reasons Bishop Kain petitions

WHAT is the exquisite reason for includ-
ing among the questions which the census
takers are TO ask the citizens, the inquiry
whether the person interrogated has any acute
or chronic disease, and if so, what it is? There
was some objection to the questions about
mortgages as an undue prying into private
affairs; but this attempt to convert the census
taking into sanitary report will make all in
quiries into Indebtedness appear wholly inocu-
Gus. Have the life insurance companies got an
arrangement with the Census Bureau?

price of ice cream and local dealers might fol-

But such precaution is unnecessary as the
prominent dealers say they will continue TO
furnish f1rst-class article at the regular price
in spite of high-priced ice. A best girl will not
be more expensive in the ice cream line this
season than she was last summer, unless her
appetite has increased or she isn't the same

Government seems unwilling to comply, hence

WHEN great man dies, or great or little

| tumble over each other in their haste to get out
his biography. The great or little man is apt to
suffer in this scramble, and the public too, for
| that matter.
But for picturesque audacity in this direc-
| tion 1 think a coincidence l found the other
day takes the palm. During the last Presi-
I dental campaign the firm of Hubbard Brothers
| got Cath" the famous correspondent, to write
life of Benjamin Harrison. now President In
that book appears an illustration showing Mr.
| Harrison's birthplace at North Bend, in the
| Symes Purchase Ohio 1t affords a view of a
broad river flowing away for miles, while in the
| foreground is the cottage where Mr. Harrison
was born, Nesting among trees. An energetic
party with hoe lends life to the picture.
After General D. 8. Grant died, life of him
written by 7. T. Headley was published by the
same firm. There Is an illustration of his
birthplace, too at Point Pleasant Clermont
county, o. 1t is the same, line for line, as that
which figures as the home of Mr.. Harrison's
childhood.
OF course President Harrison and General
Grant were not born hundreds of miles apart
in houses SO exactly similar, and surrounded
by scenery so precisely alike. The birthplace
must be awarded to General Grant-his biog-
rapher made use of the plate first, anyhow.
