The Glad Sprinutime.

THE flowers appear on the earth;
the time of the singing of birds is
come, and the voice of the turtle dove
is heard" The balmy air is redolent
of spring with the resurrection of
vegetation.
Nature had exhausted her energies
in the ripened fruit. The golden
harvest had been gathered, the red,
ripe fruits Of Autumn. The cold
winds came down from the frigid
North, and the icy breath was the
blast Of destruction.
The flowers died; the leaves display
eC their crimson glories in the
shortening day, fell TO the earth and
left the woodlands bare and desolate.
The grass withered and faded. The
sheen OF emerald and gold had dis
appeared and a dun brown covered
the land until the dead vegetation
was enyeloped in shroud of snow.
The long night of winter followed,
cold and cherries, in which came no
hint of resurrection.
"The embatted forests, erewhile armed in
gold,
Their banners bright with every martial hue,
Now stood like some sad beaten host o. old,
Withdrawn afar in Times remotest blue"
But at length the sun came back
from the South and its warm smile
melted the snow and released the
landscape from the icy letters OF
winter. The long night has passed;
the morning appears; the orient glows
with the steps of day.
"Noiselessly as the daylight comes back
when night is done,
| And the crimson streak on Ocean s cheek
Grows into the great sum-"
| the Springtime in her trailing
garments advances her wealth 0!
glory; the birds with flaming plumage
sing their matin joy, exultant in the
perfect beauty of the morning.
Nature has awakened from heI
long sleep. 1t is her resurrection
The air is laden with the smells OF
the steaming fields, of growing roots
the balsam of expanding buds, the
sweet .Odors of distant streams, aud
the reviving forests. The violet
"The beautiful blue violet
Laden with perfume, dripping DER with dew
and the honeysuckle, fling out thelT
incense in waves of perfume. The
white cloud of orchards; the bloom OF
apple and plum and cherry; and the
living green around and beneath
form pictures of perfect beauty that
charm the senses.
The balmy air, luminous and soft
is fragrant with a thousand odors
and Nature smiles her fairest bene
dictions. -

Beach and Bowers Minstrels played
to a good house at Opera Hall Tues
day evening and gave full program
of rollicking fun, though Of some
what uneven merit. The events
followed each other at a lively pace.
and the whole thing was swung along
with jolly dash to the tunes of a
smashing fine orchestra. There was
plenty of action and plenty of singing.
The morality of one or two of the
songs was a tri1e insipid, but most Of
them were healthy and strong. The
"Hellori chorus with its delicate and
affecting refrain, was especially
pleasing. What little dancing was
given, had the merit of being singular
ly rhythmic and individual. Mr.,
Bowers comedy work was immensely
funny for the most part, but he has
his limitations and sometimes fails
to see them. The dog show vas a
favorite feature OF the entertain
ment. and is indeed well worth its
praise. Why some Gf the spectacular
drills and dances given in their
metropolitan appearances, should in-
variably be cut by Beach and Bowers
when they play at River Falls, is a
question that has come up so often in
the minds of our play-goers that it's
quite likely to lessen the attendance
unless change is made. The enter
tainment at its best seldom fails to
please the lover of minstrel gaiety,
however, and to him who has no fond
ness for this sort of thing, even the
choicest cunning OF Bowers right
hand cannot charm him.
