The spring is again with us. Not
withstanding the cold and backward wea-
Their all things will flourish in their sea-
son. As we pass along the streets, we
notice the swelling buds of the naples,
and the yellow daffodil peeping its head
through the soil in the yards nearby. If
we walk into the woods we shall notice
the little blue bell; just beginning to
show itself on the sunny side of the dell,
and if we remove the covering Of decayed
leaves that has been its shelter and
warmth during the winter, we shall find
the lovely arbutus prettily ensconsed
beneath, and only awaits few more days
of the present weather, to appear in all
of the fragrance of its pristine loneliness.
The trees will soon put on their holiday
beauty, and earth's fora will be clothed
in its beauty of another resurrection, a
prelude to the grander one, which shall
be eternal. The grass is sprouting by the
wayside; the herring has left its wintsr
habitatiou in the Arctic seas, and again
made its debut in the waters of the
Broadkiln; and while he or she may not
be the best of a nice menu, yet his pres
ence is hailed in our waters as another
harbinger of warmer weather. These
things are not new. They have theii
beautiful succession-as each recurring
year perfumes its cycle; and did they
not occur we should be disappointed, anc
in our perplexity inquire what had be
come of Dame Nature, or what is tn,
matter with the man at the wheelp
In connection with spring, we taxi
pleasure to notice the beautiful flora
