With a spray of April roses,
While pluck from sheltered ground
Early flowers most meet for pOses.
Then, indeed, you'll look like one
That lives in love of sky and sun.

Snowdrop white and primrose yellow,

And the crocus, gorgeous fellow
But this morning forth they came
To do full honor to your name.
How the linpets pipe and trill
Well they know that winters over.

Cattle crop the bursting clover;
While the ploughboy, full of mirth,
Sings to see the smiling earth.
Here are lambs, not three days old,
Nesting 'gainst the patient mother
Here are others, grown more bold,
Gambolling with one another
Fearing neither shower nor storm
While the sunlight's s bright and warm
Come with me, my Phyllis, dear,
Where the woods with JOY are ringing,
Where the skies, are warm and clear,
And the earth to life is springing.

AN AFFECT APOLOGY.-Nota q bad
story is told of two bellicose men,
bers of the town council of certain
town, not to be too particular, that
has for some time gained a reputa-
tion for its stormy debates. During
recent meeting the two members,
who are old antagonists, became in
volved in an animated discussion
about some trumpery matter, and
things came to climax when one of
the dIsputants gave the other the lie
direct. The other made a plunge for
him, and as the pair got hold of one
another, his antagonist exclaimed:
" | reiterate that you are a liar"
"Oh, if that's the case" said the
other, whose knowledge Of the Eng
lish language is not of the best, "
accept the apology. If man says
that he reiterates, that's all that any
gentleman can ask )" and he forth
with relaxed his hold of his oppo-
nent.
The best of it is, that tho chief
person concerned is still at a loss to
account for the roar of laughter
which cOnvulsed the members of the
council and shook the council cham
ber when he made the observation.
