A Goldcn Hour

That lightly danced in laughing air before
us;
The earth was all in tune and you cote
or Natures happy chorus.
Twas like vernal morn, yet overhead
The leafess boughs across the lane were
knitting
The ghost Of some forgotten spring, we said,
Ger winters world comes fitting.
Or was IL spring herself that, gone astray,
Beyond the alien frontier choose to tarryf
Or but some bold outrider of the May,
Some April-emissarye
The apparition faded on the air,
Capricious and incalculable conner,
Wilt thou too pass, and leave my chill days
bare,
And fall'n my phantom summer

egram notifying him that the Volunteer
came to grief Wednesday between Belle
vue and Dubuque. She broke crank,
and then her big pitman ran wild and
she knocked out both ends of the CYL
lnder of the engine on the disabled side,
and, as far as known, broke out part Of
the cylinder itself. The boat was got
into Dubuque by running one side, and
there she is laid up for repairs. Her
stroke is two inches shorter tn an that of
the Silver Crescent, but an effort is to be
made to place crank of the latter on
her while the Crescent is being repaired
at LeClaire. With two of the best boats
in the fleet laid up at the same time,
and especially just now when time means
large money. the navigation company
feels that its lines have fallen in uppless.

tunate in times past, but now it seems to
be having all the wrecks, while its COM
petitors are free. Two have happened
