O, balmy, bright, and I eautcous Spring!
Once more thou'st slain llio frosty king;
Once more new life to earth dost bring?
Thy praises joyfully we sing.
Thy smile reflects the heaven fair,
Thy gentle breath subdues the air.

What miserable baldcrtUsh,
It ought to he against tlie law
To write or print such lying trash.
It's hut a su|ierstition old,
To which we all absurdly cling.
That's kept the truth from being told
About this arrant humbug, .Spring.

I'd give you all to undcistand
tSpiing wears no smiling maiden's face,
And swings no fragrant hlossomy wandThe
truth is this: The hard old case
Whose sloppy presence fills the land,
Is weak old Winter, slow of pace,
Hobbling northward, cans in hand;
Snarling and sniveling all the way
Ilecause he's not allowed to stay.
No more the firm and manly tread,
The keen and frosty breath?no more;
Hone from the hahl and trembling head
Is now the crown the monarch wore.
And yet, the old chap bangs around,
For much he hates to lose his power;
lie fain would hold the earth still bound,
And spitelul nips each opening flower.

For soon, at lest, lie must be gone;

And go the old hoy's hustled on.

The Bridal Eve. '
A STolCY OK II IK It K VOI.U 1'ION A U V W.IK.
One summer night the blaze ol j
many lights streaming Irom the win- !
(lows of an old itiaiision, perched
among the rooks and woods, Hashed
lar over the dark waters of Lake
Chaniplain.
In a quiet and comfortable chamber
of thai mansion a party ol l>riti<h ;
odiocrs, sitting around a table spread j
with viands, dismissed a topic, id some
interest, it it was not the most impor- i
taut in the world, while the. tread of
the dancers shook the door ol the adjoining
room.
Yes, while all is gayety and danee [
and music in the I irgest hall <d the old i
mansion, whose hundred
glanced lar over the waters ot Chain- j
plniu--hero in tins quiet room, with .
the cool evening breeze blowing ink
their faces throult!i the opened win
dows, hero this party ol Hritish olii- i
ocrs had assembled lo discuss their
tax orite t<>j)ic.
That topic} was ? tl (; comparative
beauty ot the women 01 the world.
"As for ine," said a handsome
young ensign, "I will match the voluptuous
terms and dark eyes ol Italy
against the beauties of all the world!"
"Ami I," said a bronze I old veteran,
who had then to the colonelcy j
by his long survive and hard lighting;
"and I have a pretty lass of a daughter
there in Hngland, whose blue iiys
and ilaxeu hair would shame your
tragic beauties ot Italy into very
ugliness.
"I have served in India, as you all
must know," said the major, who sal
next lo t lie veteran, "ami 1 nevci saw
painting or statue, much less living
woman, hall so lovely as some ol those i
Hindoo maidens, bending down with
water lilies in their hands; bending
down by the light ot torches, over the j
dark waves ol the (ianges."
And thus, one after another, ensign, j
colonel and in p>r, had given their
opinion. The last was a captain, who j
wore a handsome scarlet coat, glittering
epaulettes, lace rallies on ins bosom
and around his wrists.
"Come, captain," shouted the ensign;
''decide this great question!
Which are the most bcauiilul?the
red cheeks ol England, the dark eyes I
ot Italy, or the gravel ul forms ot I tin- i
doost an V"
The captain hesitated for a moment,
and then replied:
".Mold your three models of beaut \
?your English lass, your Italian
queen, your Hindoo nymph ?into one,
and add to their charms a thousand I
gi'rtces of color and form and feature,!
and I would not compare this pcrlec- |
lion ot loveliness lor a single moment ]
with the wild and artless beauty ofan
Am 'rican girl.
The liMigh of the three olliccrs. for a
moment, drowned the echo ol ihe I
(lance in the next room.
"Compare his Ameriean milkmaid j
with tlie woman of Italy !'"'
"Or the lass ot Knghind IM
"Or the graceful Hindoo girl I"
'J his laughing secrn of the oliieers j
stung the handsome captain to the
quick.
"Jink ye|" lie cried, halt rising
from his seat, wi'h a Hushed brow, hut
a deep and deliberate voice: " Tomorrow
I many a wile; an American I
girl! To night, at midnight, too, that j
American girl will join the dance in
the next room. ^ oil shall sec her?
you shall judge for yourselves whether
the American woman is not the most
beau til ul in the world!1'
"Wo have heard something of your
marriage, captain," said Hie gay ensign,
"but we ?1 i?1 not think it would
occur bo suddenly. Only think of ii!
To-moriow you will be gone?settled
? verdict brought in ? sentence passed
? a married man 1 lint tell me?
How wid your ladylove be brought

she resided within the rebel lines ?"
"She does reside there 1 IJut 1

utmost dependence?to bring her i
from her present home, at dead ol ;
night, through the forest to this man- ;
sion. lie is to return by twelve; it is
now halt-past eleven 1"
"Friendly Indian !" echoed tin? veto- I
ran colonel; "rather an odd guardian
for a pretty woman !"
"And you will match this lady I

"Yes, and il you do not aguo with

a'111?then you are to replace this gold
A" 11 h a h until cd guineas oi your own." ,
"Agieed ! It is a wager !" eho- <
fused I he colonel and the two other j
Ulcers.
A ltd in that moment ?while the
door-way was thronged by lair ladies
and gay oilieers, attracted from the
next room "by the debate?as the captain
stood, with one hand resting
nj>oii ".lie little julo <>t gold, his nuMv 1
face gi"w si< Idenlv pale as a shroud, i
11is blue eyes dilated, miliI thry were
c.Miciicled by a line of white enamel;
he remained standing there, as it Iro/.en
l<? si <>ne.
kk\\ by, captain, what, is the matter
V" cried the colonel, starting up in
alaein; kkdo you se a ghost, that y*n. :
slam! gazing there at lite blank
wall r
The other oOiccrs also started up in
alarm, also asked the cause of this singular
demeanor, but s'ill, lor I he space |
of a minute or none, the captain stood ,
there, more lik" a d"ad man suddenly i
rec tlh-d to life t pan a living being.
1 hat moment passed, he sal down I
with a cold shiver; made a stioug eflort,
as il t.M eommand his reason; and i
tiien ga\o utterance to a forced
laugh.
kkila,ha! See how I've (tightened
yon !M he said?and tlien laughed thai
cold, unnatural, hollow laugh again.
S5.it now he turned front one mirade
to another, uttering some forced
jest, or looking towards the doorway,
crowded by ollicers ami ladies, he guyly
invited tlient 10 sliare in tins remarkable
argument: Which wife the
most beaut ttttl wouu n inplte world ?
As be Jpoke, the hour struck.
Twelve o'clock was there, and with
it. a |o.itsten, and then a hold Indian
lot m came ui'L'iug through the crowd
? C5
o! ladies, througtug yonder itoorwtiv. I
Silent!v, his ai in.s loldcd on Ins war
blanket, a look ol calm stoicism on his
dusky brow, the Indian advanced
alonj4 the loom, and stood at the head
ol the tal'Ie. There was no lady with
liim !
' Where is she at last, gasped the
captain. "She has not relnsed to
come ? Tell me-?has anv accident
helalh'Mi her by tin; way ? I know
tin' forests is dark, and the wild path
most dillioult ? tell me; where is the
lady lor whom 1 sent you into the
rebel lines V
h\ r a moment, as the strange horror
ol that, lover's lace was beiore liim,
the Indian was silent. Then as his
answer seemed trembling on Ids bps,
the ladies in yondcrMoorway, the otlieers
Irom tlie ballroom, an 1 ihe party
round the table, lormed a roup
around the two central ti<4tiits ? the
Indian, standing at. t.lio lo ad ot the !
table, his arms tohled in los war |
blanket ? that youn.o; ollicei', ball j
rising Irom liis seat, liis lips parted, j
his lace ashy, liis. clenched hands resting
on the dark mahogany ol the j
table.
The Indian answered by an action,
then by a word.

During the "hard" winter just past
I?hard an regards timineral matters?
there have been to those who could
I nifoid it. certain very pleasant and, 1
may say% profitable ways of laying out
small sums of money. One or two
such investments 1 am about to mention.
i On a cold day in January I ch me" 1
to be making purchases in a Ian -y
bakery, when a largo powertully 1>m i.

behind the counter;
"Will you give toe a lew pennies'
I have been out ol work this long lime,
i and am in great need.'"
Ills lace corroborated his statement,
foi the Natures ware pale and pinched,
as if with absolute want. The gul
I said ;
"I cannot give yon money, hut I can
give you a eonple ol rolls.'
411 will Lake thorn and be very
thank!ul,' said he.
\\ hen they were handed to him, he
' clutched them so oagt rly I expected
to see him devour them oil the spot.
l'?ut no; lie thrust them in his pocket
1 and wa< hastily turning away. 1 hen
it occurred to me there might he wtlo
or children at home as hungry as
himself, so I followed, and gave him a
small sum of money. 1 he look that
beamed upon me was as much a benediction
as his lervcnt, "(bod bless you,
| ina'm!'
) Turning straight back to the connIter,
he murmured, as if to himself,
''Now Mollio an l tlie children shall
have a good supper.1 And the way ho
( went into a w holesale purchase of rolls
i buns, and cookies, was something
pleasant to see and sweet to re.nemi
ber. In that case impromptu giving
: was evidently not wrong.
Some days alterward, .piito l ite in

door, waiting to he admitted, a slight,
I pale, poorly-clad, but. neat looking
| woman, with a basket on her arm,
! walked up the stops, and said, in a
pleasant voice:
"W ill you buy something, lady?'
As I looked over her poor little
I apartment of "sm ill wares,* she seemed
to lear they might not tempt me,
; lor she added, interestingly:
4']>o, pray do, my good lady, it
has been such a poor day. 1 have
I I nold almost nothing, and I have been

This decided me to in ike a purchase.

?Shc gave mo such a bright, ghid,
grntofuI look, as f>iic said;
j "Oli! my dour lady, liow kind yon
j arc! You do not know--you cannot
1 know what this extra little sum is to
j me! I live almost out to llarlom. T
i have a little girl there?my onlv child
? I t J *
I ?who is sickly and lame. She wacthes
eagerly tor my return at night; and
when I see a little pale lace at the
window, looking out tor me?no natter
how tired I am, my heart grows
! light and my steps gulck, ami this
basket, which sometimes seem ft?
1 heavy, is then just no weight at all.
| When I have a lucky turn like this L
I can get home sooner by riding in t'nrt
! street cars, (which is a great comfort
and a great rest at the same lima,) md
what is belter still, I can afford to buy

my pat ient little girl, And, oh, mahn!
it you could only see her then! I>ut 1
I must go now. God bless you! dear
j laydy, and make y >u as happy all tho

Ah! but that was a great invest,!

seemed to shed a pleasant and peculiar

to kindle a warm feeling about the
heart. Talk of Lucilor, indeed! Tft
never had unythin * to do with those

instead of the horrible odor ol brim'
