TO break the spell Of winter. ana set sree
The prisoned brooks and crocUs bads OPP
Severe Of face, gaunt arrived and wildly

She is not fair or beautiful TO see:
Bat merry April and sweet smiling Nav
Come mol till March has first prepared the

Now that so many of our neighbors
are on their way to Klondike in the
search of riches, we must bestir our
selves to keep up in the race. We
will seek riches too, but not in the
Klondike of the Yukon and Chilkoot
Pass; o no. rather in the Klondike
which lies fallow in our fields, the
Klondike from which we can return
to three meals day and comfortable
beds at night. Very likely our
spades will not turn out as large mug
gets from the rich, brown, black
earth as their picks will from the
rocky canyons and ravines; but the
and it will not be subject to the
enormous expense of thousands of
miles of travel, nor to that far more
terrible tribute which is so little
reckoned, the toll of human lives and
of health and suffering. This ac-
counted, the home Klondike will prove
the richer. AS an old song says:
You talk of the mines in Nevada
(Klondike), They're wealth in treas
ure, no doubt; But ah! there is gold
in the farm, boys, If only you'll SHOW
el it ont. Then stay on .he farm a
while longer, Tho profits come in
rather slow; Remember you've moth
ing to risk, boys, Don't be in hurry
to 60.
We wish to congratulate the Herald
and its editor on the result of the
victory in the result of the trial of
libel.

tastefully dinner was spread.
