At the forks OF the road March lost
his way and loudly called his winds
that wandered in the crimson deeps
and violet wales of April They cried
to the hills, that signaled them with
banners green and glorious and sent
the echoes of their voices back to the
opposing hills. And then did March,
with trumpet blast, command his
winds to storm the rosy battlements
and all the wreath-crowned captains
of the April armies; and the captains
fell before their might, and their ricn
raiment was rent and scattered over
thousand hills: and under sky

Within twenty minutes after the sur
Seon reached the house the deadly poison
had done its work.
Tho reason for this act is most IN
usual and sad. Mr.. Scott has a sister,
who is said to be dying. He was greatly
distressed and depressed, and this was
assigned by brother as the proba BILE
cause This gentleman was called from
the bedside of his sister to see his brothe.
