SPRING is HERE.

What different thing life is to different
people, even those whose circumstances
and positions are substantially the same.
One is wholly self-centered, taking no in
terest in anything that does not contribute
in some way to his own advancement or
pleasure, and completely absorbed in
daily round of necessary tasks, or trivial
amusements. To him the great, inspiring
movements of the time make no appeal.
Literature, art music have no meaning and
and are useless, unless, perhaps, to fill an
idle hour, and Nature is closed book He
may be rated millionaire, and have every
luxury at his command, but life for him
consists either in the sordid satisfaction of
increasing his riches without knowing how,
or without the disposition to make good
use Of them, or of spending them for his
own qualification and glorification, in a
wearying, unsatisfactory attempt to find
distraction from haunting sense of use.
lessness, and to get something like real
enjoyment.
The varying seasons signify little to him
but a greater or lesser degree of heat or
cold, he is, compared to many who are poor
in this worlds goods, like dry, crooked
branch stuck into the ground beside rose
bush laden with fragrant blossoms.
To one who sees and feels the glory and
beauty of spring days like these, who is
open to every skyey influence, recognizing
kinship to every living thing, and to the
soil that grows them, perfect rose, with
its appealing beauty, exhaling its brief life
in exquisite perfume, is a marvel as in
stinct with the Divine as the burning bush
of Moses; and there are yards full of them
now, of almost every color and shade, red,
white, pink, orange and yellow, loveliest
of all; they climb over the porches and
bloom along the walks, and more perhaps
than any other flower they mean that most
delightful of all times, when the lovers
rare days come in the perfection of spring.
Did spring bring US nothing but flowers,
what priceless boon it would be?
One may revel now in the country, in the
wide stretches of green trees and grass
carpeted earth, looking from the hill-tops
on the green slopes and valleys. The very
soil, for joy of spring come again, breaks
out in a bewildering array of beauty and
gladness, veritable bridal of the azure
sky and the blooming, rejoicing earth.

ripping meadows as the May zephyr softly
sways their wide expanse of green spangled
with daisies, buttercups, oxeyes and many
other little plants, call in their flower"
tightening up the shaded wood paths and
frightening every little clearing. Every
where on fallen tree branches are clinging
vines, and on walls and fences, winds the
modest honeysuckle, loading the air with
fragrance. Back under the trees and
further back in the woods are myriads of
sweet, shy blossoms, to be had for the
gathering if one has the heart to pluck
them away from their chosen haunts, which
they so adorn.
Rather go and enjoy them there and let
them live out their brief, happy lives chang
ing the dark earth by the alchemy of sun
and shower and dew to fragrant beauty.
If it be true, as the poet says, that 1.-The
very beetle that we tread upon, in suffer-
ance feels pang as great as when giant
Dies" may it not be true that, when we
sever the wild flowers stalk, it feels the
deadly hurt, and bewails in accents maud
IDLE to US its untimely taking off? The
whole mystery of the universe is hidden in
tiny sweet blossom, springing from the
grimy soil. What transformation is that
by single step from formless dirt to love-
Illness and fragrance! Every effect has in
it the qualities of what causes it, and be-
hind the flower lies not only the love of
beauty, but the same mighty Power that
swings the planets.
Though it is the time of flowers and one
may find in them alone days enjoyment,
it is impossible not to see as we'll and take
delight in our native trees. There is a
sheen and freshness, a tenderness and
depth of green, and variety of shades,
now, that as the hotter days come some
what disappear. Now is the time to turn
Druid and worship the grand old oaks and
sing paans to all the forest tribe-soughng
pine, stately gum, blossoming bay, prolific
hickory, beautiful maple, useful ash and
every branching leaf-clad trunk, thrusting
its refreshing canopy of green into the
sunlight. Nowis the time, too, and it is the
best time for little while, to hear at their
best, as you turn reluctant steps home
ward, the blithe songsters of woodland
clearing and meadow singing to their mates
and hymning the setting sum- What a
range there is in their music; from the
bubbling jollty and mirthfulness, the joy
of living of the knocking bird who dances
on the air as he sings, to the pensive mel
ancholy OF the flute-like hermit thrush,
shy and remote! Go into the woods every
spring day, when it is possible, and take
the children. They will love it if you dc
not.

found in living on last months salary in

Memphis Commercial Appeal: The as

has that many.

try until he is given his passports and po-
