Reluctant Spring.
FROM IN MEMoRIAM."

FROM IN MEMoRIAM.
Dip down upon the northern shore,
0 sweet new-year, delaying long;
Thou doest expectant Nature wrong;
Delaying long, delay no more.
What stays thee from the clouded moons,
Thy sweetness from its proper place?
Can trouble live with April days,
Or sadness in the summer moons?
Bring orchis, bring the fox-glove spire,
The little speedwel's darling blue,
Deep tulips, dashed with fiery dew.
Laburnums, dropping-wells of fire.
o thou new year, delaying long,
Delayest the sorrow in my blood,
That longs to burst a frozen bud,
And flood fresher throat with song.
Now fades the last long streak of snow;
Now bourgeons every maze OF quick
About the towering squares, and thick
BY ashen roots the vioets blow.
Now rings the woodland loud and long
The distance takes lovelier hue,
And drowned in yonder living blue,
The lark becomes sightless song.
Now dance the lights on lawn and lea,
The focks are whittier down the vale,
And milkier every milky sail
On winding stream or distant sea;
Where now the seamew pipes, or dives
In yonder greening CLEAN, and fly
The happy birds, that change their SIX,
To build and brood, that live their lives
From land to land and in my breast
Spring wakens too; and my regret
Becomes an April violet,
And buds and blossoms like the rest.

A Sad Scene In Court.

What pathetic incidents occur almost
daily in our police courts! One morn
ing a short time ago a woman was ar
raigned before justice on charge of
having been found drunk in the street
the previous night When asked if she
had anything to say for herself, she
flushed and trembled, but looked the
Judge steadily in the face as she re-
piled: II forgot myself and must bear
the consequences" She was fined five
dollars, and was not able to pay, was
about to be conducted to prison when
a man, having the appearance of a
hard working mechanic and accom-
panied by q pretty little girl, rose in
the audience and offered to pay it for
her. 1t was her husband. Hearing his
and said hastily; "You must not pay
It."
"But we want you at home" replied
the man, smiling pleasantly at her.
ssNo, you must not pay it" insisted his
wife. Don't waste the money on me.
Use it at home Buy new pair of
shoes for baby with it please come
home, mamma" said the little girl; and
the father silently drew money from
his pocket and handed it to tho clerk
of the court But the woman still pro-
tested, declared that she would not GO
to prison, and it was not until the little
girl began to cry and the judge begged
her to think of her children that she
consented to return. Her husband al
length took her by one hand. the child
by the other, and between them she
was led slowly from the court Oh. the
