ing in violent language an order
of the court was an unfortunate
example. But that which
weighed most against bin
with me was the manner in
which patronage appeared to be
used by the administration in the
attempt to secure votes for his con-
firmation, joined with the exertiOn
apparently of every sort of iaflu-
ence of which the head of the
government was capable. l can
not conceive of anything worse or
more demoralizing than to have
confirmation to office secured by
appointments to other offices or by
threats of removal. Against such
methods l propose always to pro-
test and vote, in accordance with
my conception Of plain public

Bespeak the birth of spring.
Come, sweetheart, be my sweetheart

OF earth afush with the gracious blush
Which the ripentng fields fOFeShOw;
Dear sweetheart, be my sweetheart,
As into the moon we go
Sweetheart, be my sweetheart
When falls the 6Ounteous year,
When fruit and wine of tree and vine
Give us their harvest cheer
Oh, sweetheart, be my sweetheart,
For winter it draweth near.
Sweetheart, be my sweetheart

And the hand Of age is cold;
Yet, sweetheart, be my sweetheart
Til the year OF our love be told!
