IN HE MORNING.

In the mellow, haZy morning,
When the gentle breezes play,
And the sun comes slyly peepIng
AT the sweetly sleeping day.
How inspiring tits to wander
Where the dewdrops gem the grass
Where the dripping roses give you
Pleasant greetings as you pass!
Yes, tits sweet. but oh, far sweeter
Than to greet The infant day
Is 1t, when the sun comes peeping,
Just to lie aud snooze away!

fares at three cents in all cities having a
population of more than 100000 has been

act of the Legislature should be pre-
sumed to be law until it was declared
otherwise, but recently the courts have
acquired habit of presuming the other
way.
