A BoAsTER.
EN- ma A. Lenfe.

"Oh, am as smart as winter" said March
in lordly way.
II can order the winds to battle, they. will fdo
whatever l say.
And l can pile up the snowdrifts, and whiten
the windows with frost;
oh, l can WELD the scepter that grim old
Winter has lost!
sAnd l am as strong as Winter. can hold
the streams in q vice,
And bind them more securely with glittering
bands of ice,
And eau shake the:forests, and laugh at the
eatthis dismay;
oh, can rule with n royallmisht. and none
shall say me nay."
And no one could Tresists him; his winds
blew chill.andIcng.
Until one day through their trumpet blare
he heard bluebird's song;
And, sudden and lswift, his heart grew faint
and he.of hisistrength was shorn.
And over the land where the tBoaster trod
sweet April walkedtonelmorn!
-Comrade.
