ties A certain farmer at Sateley. In
Hampshire. tells a story OF a cart
horse which he bought cheap at a
horse sale near Aldershot. As events
turned out. this animal proved by no
means a bargain. for from the dag he
was bought TO the time the dlsappolnt-
ed purchaser sold him FOR mere

refused TO do any work.
He would submit TO being harnessed

A SPRING SONG.

When Love comes to my garden
He walks with dainty tread,
The lilies blaze before him,
The moss-rose lifts its head;
The trim-kept lawns grow greener,
The borders blush with pride,
The buds burst into blossom
When Love walks by my side.
When Love leaves my sad garden
The roses petals fall,
The jasfnine's scented clusters
Fade, dying, on the wall:
The lawns grow dock and thistle,
The paths are rank with weeds
And all the dainty borders
Are strewn with fallen seeds.
Sweet Love, stay In my garden,
Rest in Its rosy shades,
Bask In its scented sunshine,
Dream in It's leafy glades;
Sing to the strings OF pleasure,
Through all life's penilune;
Make every season summer,
Let every month be June.
