BIRD ECHOES.
The Rnhnlink-


When you can pipe that merry old
strain,
Robert OF Lincoln, come back again.
-Bryant
Robert of Lincoln is back again;
Rollicking high sweet refrain,
Thinking in the stretch of meadow,
Thinking in his old domain.
Robert of Lincoln is back again;
Bubbling DER with rapturous strain;
Poet of the fiowery meadow,
Poet Of the grassy plain.
Robert of Lincoln is back again;
Keeling songs to brown mate plain,
Winging through the fragrant
meadow,
Winging up from FURNISHED grain.
Robert of Lincoln is back again;
Rollicking high his old refrain,
Jubilant in the sun-kissed meadow,
Jubilant even in the rain.
The Cuckoo.
Oh for the wood by the shady pool
Where cowslips grow in waters cool,
w mere Id1u-UOW trout leap IN sparkling
spray
After gauze-winged dragon-fiies at
play.
Oh, for the scent of resinous pines
A bed of moss and bed of vines
Where cones are softly falling,
To hear the cuckoo gay,
Swinging from hemlock spray
To wood nymphs a-calling,
The spirit echo-calling,
Cuckoo!-cuckoo!-
Cuckoo! cuckoo!
Sweet the sound of the vesper bell
Ringing at twilight in village dell;
Peace! Peace! Peace, DER the earth
Rings the chime of the vesper bell
Baby Song.
Reaping time, swinging scythe,
Little pheasants in the rye;
Cherry time,-berries free,
Little robins in the tree;
Sleepy time,-hush-a-by
Close at mothers breast to lie.

By q vote of 1876 to 90 the House
on Friday of last week passed the
Grout Oleomargarine bill, which inn
poses q tax of from two to ten cents
per pound on oleomargarine, butter
inc, and similar products which are
colored in imitation Of butter, and
o~ne-fourth of a cent on uncolored i'm.
itations. It is claimed that the tax
on the colored articles amounts to a
practical prohibition of its manufac.
ture, but Notwithstanding the argu-
ment which was brought forth by the
opponents of the measure, that oleo>
margarine bad been proven to be a
wholesome and nutritious article OF
food, and that those who desired to
use it would be deprived of the priv
ilege of securing it in the market by
the passage of the bill. it went
through by the heavy majority above
indicated.
