A warble interrupted long:
| hear the robins fiute-lil<e note,
The bluebrd's slenderer song.
Brown meadows and the russet hill.
Not yet the haunt of grazing herds.
And thickets by the glimmering rill,
Are all alive with birds.
o choir of spring. why come so soon?
On leafiess grove and herbleSS lawn
Warm lie the yellow beams of noon.
Yet winter is not gone.
For frost shall sheet the pools again:
Again the clustering East shall blow
Whirl a white tempest through the glen
And load the pines with snow.

Portland Advertiser: In this connec-
tion it is urged that an effort should be
made to more suitably mark the graves
of Lieutenant William Burrows, of the
American brig, Enterprise, and Cap
tain Samuel Blyth. of the British brig,
Boxer; also that Of Midshipmen Kervin
Waters, who is buried beside the two
commanders in the Eastern cemetery
in this city. The average Portland
citizen Is more or less familiar with the
famous fight of the Enterprise and
Boxer. and has a hazy idea that the
two commanders were killed and
buried in Portland. side by side, but
not one person in a hundred ever
thinks of pointing out the graves as an
object of interest to visitors: in fact,
comparatively few know where the
graves are and even If they went to
the cemetery would have to search
some time to find them. 1t might be a

A Deering lady has been suffering from
an unusual effect. She thought she
had completely recovered, but had a
slight difnculty in talking without
Trace of thickness in her speech.
Gradually she lost her voice and finally
had to stop talking. For some time
now she has been confined to her room
and is allowed by her physician to see
very few people. There is apparently
nothing the matter with her, except
her inability to talk. It is a curious
case and her friends are somewhat
concerned as to what the final result
will be.
One of our much respected Bath
women not long ago lost a valuable
ring which caused her to feel very
badly. so badly in fact that when she
said her prayers that night she told
the Lord that if he would only tell her
where the ring was she would give SIS
