BY HERBERT FLANSBURGH.
Rain a-pourin' from de skies,
Grass a-peepin' out,
Groun '-hog rubbin' OBJ his eyes
SEEM what's about.
Robin pullin' at de worm
.Stickin' in de groun'
LII snake gin ter squirm,
Whar he caint be foun'.
Lark a-settin' on de limb,
Tunin' up his voice;
Sassy crow a-mOckin' him,
Itchin' ter rejoice.
Jay a-sighin' TO- mate,
Lookin' kinder blue,
"Ain't no time ter hesitate
Mates am gittin' few"
Hyar dat OIL hen gin ter squawk
Like she's feeling sick,
One eye lookin' TO- a hawk
D'odder on her chick.
Heifer loafin' by the brook
Talkin' ter de trout,
Tellin' him bout de hook
Dat'll yank him out.
Rainbow pokin' froo de sky,
'Pearin' kinder hazy.
Eff I had ter work I'd die;
Nigger's awful lazy.
Chicken boilin' in de pot,
Hyar ol' Nanny sing,
Soon I'll hab him steamin' hot,
Bless de Lawd, fo' Spring.

passion, which makes marriage holy
sacrament. But when such love is
mutual, each is made not poorer, but
richer. Each receives more than is
given; and fair exchange is no robbery.
Each makes willing sacrifice, but in
the felicity and perfection of life
which follow, both find the largest
freedom and fullest happiness possible.
Such love is spiritual and eternal.
Alas! it is not common.
Yhe world is still crude and rude.
The animal life is largely dominant.
Appetites, desires and worldly consid-
erations hold sway. The ideal life is
high above the mass of men. Selfish
ness not sacrifice rules the affections.
To marry we'll is the standard of love.
1t is bargain. A home, leisure,
luxury, pleasures, social distinction,
commercial prosperity are the
common materials for successful
matchmaking.

Gov. Brady is said to have intimated during an informal discussion of the question, that if Mir. Hoggatt makes anything like as good legal showing as he represents in the premises he will at once call special election with the sanction of President Roosevelt for the selection of terri torial delegate. In this connection an effort is to be made to secure the ap- proval of the president on the occasion of his visit to Seattle in May. Mir. Hoggatt bases his contention of Alas ka's right to territorial recognition on a decision of the supreme court of the United States, also on the fact that President Roosevelt in his state papers has been won't to refer to Alaska as territory.
