friendly they felt toward the North. We

said in the course of our conversation, in
speaking of our victory and their defeat,
Yes, am heartily glad it turned out just

For the Ellsworth American. /
Even Now.

Even now the buds are swelling
On the bare and leafiess bough;
And the little brooks are welhng
Meath their ice beds even now.
Even now the birds are winging
On their WAY from sunny south:
can almost hear the singing.
From each joyous little mouth.
Even now, beneath the snow drift,
Lie the plants which bring to view
When the early spring-time cometh.
Niolets white and ,iolets blue.
Cease, my friend, your duh repining,
Throw aside your care and fear.
somew here notr the sun is shining:
Surely spring will soon appear.
Clouds will help TO bring the showers
To refresh the barren earth;
And in time the brightest flowers.
From the dullest sod burst forth.
Look, the sun begins TO brighten.
Look hey ond the winter snow,
Hoping on. your hearts Will tighten.
Spring j. coming, even now!
