BRIEFS AND PERSONALS.
Winter.

/ Ana ice cnshrouds the trees
We soon forget the bossomel spring
And all her honey bees.
/ For winter holds a sceptre.
/ a magic wand that stirs
/ An eerie melody through tops
/ OF mourning pine and iri-
And ever at bis coming
When the mellow freight CLEANS
/ We stroll 10 fancy golden spell
A-down the lane Of dreams.
