breezes and pattering showers, its buds
and blossoms. Nature is robing her
self to greet the coming summer.
Bursting forth from the threats of ten

natures purest, sweetest melodies.
Nature adorns all things in varied
shades, and harmony blends all into All

of man pales into insignificance when
placed in contrast with the colorings
of the Divine Artist. Even the brutes,
in obedience to natural law, shed their
rusty, faded coats and are clothed in

from the bounty of nature their life

In this gladstone season, amid the

the American laborer in restitution
starving, while the fruits of his
labor decay in abundance at his feet:
homeless on the sod which through
years of industry, suffering and priva-

into beautiful home; penniless be-

and paid for, thrice over, under Jew

theories; drugged to stupifcation with
church dogmas and religious myths;
poisoned by the deadly sophisms of
political prostitutes: damned by the
spawn of civilization-whose founda

blood and bones of honest industry,
