Spring hangs her infant blossoms on
the trees rocked in the cradle of the
western brocze." The past few days have
gi:en us a prospect Of what we r1av ex-
pect All are glad Of the change, be it
ever 50 short, from the chilling blasts of
al Arctic climate to the precursor OF YER
na- spring; vel this kind of weather may
not only be expected but is certain. Did
not God say once, Seed time and har-
vest shall net end, aud day aud night
shall nat cease" " W something like il?
The buds are swelling OH the shade trees
OF town. The maple stands pre-. eminent
III its pretty red aud varigated hues; ard
the grasses and ferns aloug the boule-
va.d, and pastures CT Milton are showing
with their pretty green, and half peepng
shoots, the care tat has been exercised
over them during h. blasts of old boreay.
4 shor; walk into the country gives us
even more delight than we can find L
the town. The suburban district is even
to be admired than in theurban. Along
tn hedge row can seen the first shoots
OF tn summer grasses, some of them
pretty IL their incipiency, but the detes-
t&tion Of farmers further on. If we scrape
away The leaves, on entering the woods
and along Ihe hanks Of the upper Fangan-
yzki, we shall fird ensconsenced under |
the misture the pretty arbutus, the
flower I most love. This flower is now
eagerly sought after by the young msters
and misses of town, and carried in bot.
tom holes, as the extreme accomplish
ment Of dudes. The robins of which there
are now many, are putting in their morn
lug songs as they pop around over the
the freshly-ploughed gardens, hunting
for their morning meal, or sit perched
upon the bough Of some tree chirrupiHg
with all their proverbial sauciness.
Welcome Spring
