The Lure Of Sap-Time.

| Join the throng in the crowded street;
We are slaves in search of pelf.
| am sorry for the fettered gang,
l am sorrier for myself,
Because
| know place up-country,
In Gods great out-ofdoors,
A quiet sheltered corner
On which the spring time pours
The wine of warmth and magic,
And well know the sun
Has kissed the grove of naples,
And sap begins to run.
There are sounds and sights that money
brings,
They are good to hear and see,
But they're city sights and city sounds,
And right now they've no charm for me
Just
Because
| want to see the bluebirds
And watch sap-snow fall,
To see the pussy willows,
And hear the robins call;
To see the frisky chipmunks,
AS oft before I've done,
| want to be up-country
When the sap begins to run.
sit in the seats of the mighty,
And gather my share of the best,
Nor weary of toll that brings treasure
Still, now am filled with unrest,
Just
Because
want to see the sap-bush,
And smell the wood-fre smoke,
To watch the boiling kettles,
And see the old home folk;
Pm hungry for hot sugar
And the simple homely fun
That's sure to be up-country
When the sap begins to run.

The sudden and tragic death of Rob-
ert A. Lawrence of Rutland, removes
one of the strongest and most promis-
ing of the younger men of Vermont.
He was man of fine abilities, of high
and noble character, and tremendous
worker in any cause that appealed to
his sense of right and justice. Vermont
has too few of "Rob" Lawrence's type
and the State can i'll afford to lose a
man of such splendid capacity and
