The country looks beautiful
The hillsides and mountains are
in their deep green, until you
reach the snow, and, in the val
leys, the blossoms are just COM
! ing cut of their buildings. To
look upon all this makes us for
get the sorrows of life, and hope
springs in the breast until we
are taken away from the care
and gloom that might, otherwise,
, burden US. and are lifted to the
skies. Such a scene as Spring
now presents is, indeed, the mcst
charming leaf in tha book of life.
1t has been our pleasure for a
few days to revel in its midst.
Among the flowers and the birds
we felt more boyish than we
really are; for we are only 70;but
, these sights make us think we
!, are only IL. The only change
we see from the days of child
) hood and youth is this : When
the home of the robin, with its
| four pretty little blue eggs is
found, or that of the lark with
speckled eggs, at maturer age
, we have learned TO love the bird
! song so well that we guard them
, with care while, in the days of
childhood, we could see the little
? homes destroyed with sadness
: but not resistance. Now we
: could not do so wicked an act
! Spring has come, but with birds
, and their song and the springing
: grass and buds and flowers we
forget the pangs and pains and
: losses and cares and disappoint-
ments and clouds and walls of
+: life and rise to happier state.
a God bless the season that brings
!. US these delightful sights and
2 sounds.
