The morning winds moved gently The reddening maple tree, Where the blue birds and the robbing Piped their spring-time•minstrelsy. The audience roes, was very large, The audience rather small— Peering through half closed window blinds, One "family circle'; all: The curtain rose at break of day, Dissolving int:, air ; The singers promptly were in place, For morning praise and prayer. The little chirping soloists, — And choristers as well, Thrilled clearly all the higher noses, And to the lowest fell. So perfectly, in time and tune, So blithely, and sb gay, While the King of Day, from the eastern sky, Throws his robes of night away. And in his car of molten gold, With cloud-steeds snowy white On perfumed breath—the morning air, Rode up the Empyrean height, In regal robes and royal state, Passing our maple tree, Where the blue birds and the robins Sang their morning melody. No flats, no sliarps, not one false ;rote, None hired to cry "encore;" The daily programme warbled through, All this and nothing more, Comprising spring-time songs of joy, At early break of day, From the blue-birds and the robins, In a genuine matinee. _ _ With earnest listeners only— With only those who hear The song of-the-birds - in spring-time, With ewer listening ear ; The sky for an auditorium, The budding.trees fer bowers For 4 gueSt the Sun of the morning, Stich atvery precious hours. , But, ah, the concert closes • Too soon, by far, each day, And we look, and wait, and listen, As the bird•notes die away In the dips and vaulted distance Of the blue, ethereal sky, Leaving rainbow tints of beauty, At our feet, as the world goes by. Pang fov gratin*. The family of Csptiain John Brown, the hero ofgarper'sPerry, - are • now living near Prohnerville, Humboldt county, Cali. foruia, haviug moved thither a year ago from Tehama county, to which they emi grated,- duringTha war.
