E?say Osto Sprixo. Spring Is tie
pleasantest season of tbe year to those
who bave no bank paper coining due. Tbe
pretty little buds and the pretty big girls
come torlb to gladden tbe eye. Tbe birds
and tbe church cbolrs cbant tbelr tuneful
lays aad tuneful gambollers lay tbelr chan
ces (oa a "Hush";. Tbe tuneful bens also
cbant about tbelr lays, aud we like a chance
to lay Id some of those Hays" fried soft,
with bam. Tbe little lambs skip, and so do
baslness men across tbe street when tbey
see a creditor coming. Tbe little lambs
jramhol, and so do tbe 'young bucks"
principally at draw-poker. ; Tbe little frogs
peep, and so do tbe loafers when the ladies
go over muddy crossings. Tbe walks and
. tbe fellows" are getting dry. Fields and
"nobby youths" look green. Tbe rocks
pour forth Increased volumes of oil, and tbe
11 operators "smile" more frequently than
heretofore. Our beloved country Is at peace
and we shall soon bave peas (green and
we shall bave to "shell out" to get them)
Flowers and things begin to sprout at tbe
bottom, and school-mains begin to "sprout"
naughty boys in the same way. Tbe rays
of tbe sun aiake us warm, and tbe raise in
tbe price of beef-steaks cool us off again. I

ing, and every time we step we can certain
Jy feel corn shooting.
How beautiful is spring and youth and
awakening life. How beautiful to see tbe
young night-watchmen promeaado in pairs
be aud she these beautiful moonlight
nights there's so moonlight at present,
but tho gas lights from tbe wells is just as
. good. Ilovr beautiful Is the confidence they
show In each other): tbey ain't afraid to
trust each other out alone together, wi'.h ao
stern parleut to watch over them. What a
saving tbe return of warm weather makes
in midnight ooal and kerosene. Would we
were a boy again to study astronomy witb
the fair deities of tbe night. Seeing we
can't, we like to see all tbe little lambs
skip aad gambol. Let 'em skip. Spring is
tbe plea vastest seasuu of the year.
