1t transpires that Col. p. p. Smalley's
published opinion with reference to the
character of the liquor referendum plank
adopted by the State republican convention
was based upon an incorrect version of the
same which had been sent to Burlington
from Montpelier. He thinks the plank
adopted ought to satisfy any one who de-
sires to get at the wishes of a majority of
the people as to the most desirable way of
restricting the traffic in intoxicating liquor.

CRAB-APPLI
BLOSSOM,
by SUNDERLAND WALKER.

The betcles spread their green
branches over the winding road and
| the ferns shared The trunks with the
ivy. The linnet and the thrush sang
in the tall, think hedge, which shut
out the rest of tho world. The May
sunshine played hide and seek with
the shadows. At the head of the
lane crab apple tree bent beneath
its weight of scented blossoms.
They sat on the bani; beneath it,
half in sunshine, half in shadow.
She rejoicing in the light, he. dream
ing beside her in the darkness. The
home going bee hunmed in content
as lie went from blossom to blossom
diving into the dainty heart Of each
where was stored the golden honey
The birds called to each other III the
branches, and a fat, red, cuShy-cow-
lady settled Oh her skirt and slept in
peace.
They were friends who had never
been lovers, might never be, per-
haps. The sunshine spoke to them
and the birds sang, and the message
of both was the same.
Life is short but Love is long,
Death is swift but Love is strong,
Time is nothing, Love is ALL"
She heard every word of the
warning thrilled her; she had heard
it often before, yet never had it
sounded SO clearly in her ears, new
er had it found such echo in her
heart. She looked at him wonder
ingly-had he heard it! No, his
ears were shut, for he himself was
speaking commonplace words, pain
fully out of harmony with the
beauty around him; trivial thoughts
full of the press and turmoil of the
restless world outside; sordt, ambi-
tons, such as choke the souls of
those who stretch ont their hands
to yellow glitter, and call it gold.
She turned her eyes away-if she
could have turned her heart she
would have smiled. But she could
not and so the voice that praised
the birds was husky, and lashes
which bent over the too truthful
eyes were wet. Her hands resting
on her knee looked small and lone
ly-~not even clasping over one
another and her thoughts rushed
back and the present was forgotten
in the past.
He did not notice her abstraction,
he wss recouuting personal exper-
fences; he was living in the midst
Of struggle and warfare, and the
dreary round of work bad eaten in
to his heart, so that lie could think
of nothing eIse.
His hopes, his ambitions, of these
he was speaking; soon the time
would come when he would take up
the position he had Ionged for since
boyhood. Power would be within
his grasp, u seat ia Parliament at
his command.
The clear, cold voice wenton day
dreaming; and she, coming back
from the brink Of the fair Poppy
land of the past, heard it, as one
hears the larewels of beloved ones
sounding far off across the turbu-
lent waters Of the terrible stream
