A CHAPTER ON gMtlXl.
. Of all the seasons sprinc is the most
coquettish. She is like the princess
who stooped and kissed the sleeping
pocTunder the tree, who still slept on
but dreamed a different dream. The
earth was hardly conscious that spring
had come till yesterday, when blue
skies dropped etherial mildness
(Thompson) on her bosom. It is in
deed the time when the young, the
rosy spring gives to the breeze her
scented wing (Anacrcon) and April is
garlauded with all the fairest flowers
nnd freshest buds . the earth brings
forth (Spenser). Well was it observed
that like an army defeated the snow
hath retreated (Wordsworth) and that
the fields with flowers are decked in
every hue (Drumraond), though wo
must not go out just yet to pull them.
The swallow also brings us to the sea
son of vernal delight, with his back
all of sable aud belly of white (Anony
mous), and there are daffodils which
come before the swallow dares and
take the winds of March with beauty
(Shakespere). lu the sprint; a bright
er critrnon burns upon the robin's
breast (Tennysou), audit, young man's
fancy lightly turns to thoughts of lore
(Ibid). Now is heard the sound of
vernal sbowers on the twinkling grass
(Shelley), and with his umbrella wan
ders forth the hyaciuthine boy, for
whom morn well might break and
April bloom (Emersnn). Now shall
we notice how our swift spring heaps
the orchards full of bloom and sceut
(Lowell), and the maiden May returns
with a pretty haste (Barry Cornwall).
Now do the majority of intelligent
people think it better to -sport with
Amaryllis in the shade or with the
tangles of Noiera's hair (Miltou) than
to creep into some still cavern deep,
there to weep and weep and weep
(Tennyson). All these and many oth
er things do we see and enjoy now that
spring has broken the icy fetters of lhe
silver streams (Wilkesbarre specFal
dispatch), and all nature rejoices that
grim-visaged March has smoothed his
frosty pow (Burns and Shakespere).
Spring! beautiful-spring! has return
ed wilt) birds and flowers (original),
and new fashionablo styles in hats,
bonnets, dresses (advertisements), in-
uenzas and catarrhs aud hundreds of
other things make business lively.
Much more might be said of spring,
but her lovely aud bewitching smiles
show that at last she has consented to
speak for herself.
A woman entered a crowded street
cai the other day, and fur a moment
or two do one offered her a seat. Then
a fat man affected with the asthma,
beckoued to her aud said : "Madam,
please take lake" cough, cough.
She Blood there waiting for his seat,
aud as soou as he was over his cough
ing fit, ha concluded : "Madam, please
take care and not step on my sore
foot!' The look bho gave him was ap
palling, but all the tool saw the joke.
A BAMUT'M WARMNM.
Tiburcio Vasquei was a bandit. lie
and his band ravaged at will several
of the lower counties of California.
In the wild, free, Andalusiun life of
Los Angeles nnd Santa Clara, these
brigands found ample room and vergo
enough for exploits whose m-itul
lakes u hack to the medieval times,
when robber barons and predatory
knights swooped dewn upon the plains
and valleys, and boro away to their
mountain fastnesses the spoil of beau
ty and pelf. An adventarous and ro
mantic career was that of Vasquex
and his company. Their exploits have
furnished forth material for cheap nov
els and "blood-and-lhunder" dramas.
They stole, ravaged, burned, plunder
ed, and murdered in that gay and
dashing manner which fascinates cal
low youth, and sett romantic maidens
to sighing for "such a man." The
country through which these bandits
ranged Is thinly populated, ranches
and trading posts dotting at long in
tervals ilia vast treeless plains which
lie between -woody hills and mountains
cleft by 'secret gorges aud canyons.
For years these precious rascals dificd
the law, and subsisted on a country,
laid Under contribution as thoroughly
as Mexico was under Cortes. Mothers
scared their children into silence with
the name of Vasquez, and young men
toiling in the vineyard or sultry glebe,
looked at the dust arising from the
hoofs of his rough riders on the moun
side, half in fear and half in admira
tion. The chief bandit bore a charm
ed life. lie was thought invulnerable.
No bullet ever reached him, and no
deputy-sheriff came near enough to
seo the color of his horse.
In an evil hour for the young rob
ber, he fell into the toils and was cap
tured, tried, convicted, and hanged by
the neck until he was dead. The bold,
dashiog, handsome caballero died the
death of a dog. He carried himself
with lightness and jolly recklessness
to the scaffold; but when he was
hanged, no man in the throng that
looked at his taking ofT lamented his
ignoble end. The general verdict was,
"Served him right. And so it did.
The night before this wretch was
hanged, he asked to see his coffin. It
was shown him. He read curiously
the inscription which set forth that he
died "to-morrow," and be felt the lin
ing tenderly, Raying: "I shall sleep
long and well here." Then ha dis
coursed of that silent land into which
he was to travel, saying, with somo
show of seriousness, that he w'as not
sure of an eternity. "The sages say
there is one," he remarked, with a
shrug of the shoulders; aud he added
that if there were an eternity of life,
he should meet all his sweethearts
next day. . Kuilting his brows, he dic
tated an address which ha wished di
rected "To fathers and mothers of
children." This singular document
began thus: "Standing at the portals
of the unknown and unknowable
worlJ, and looking back upon the life
of this, as I have seen it, I would urge
upon you to make your greatest care to
so train, influence, instruct, and gov
ern the young to whom you have given
life, that they be aloof, aa far as in the
nature of things it is possible, from
the degrading companionship of the
immoral and vicious. The general
welfare of society depends upon the
strict performance of this part of your
duty."
This was the bandit's homily and
warning. To bis former associates he
dictated an equally unique address, in
which he deprecated their reputed in
tention to make bloody reparation for
hia death, and bade them to take warn
ing by his fate and change their course,
while life was left them. On the fol
lowing day, accompanied by a priest
who bade his beads and pattered pray
er, the brigand chief stepped light
ly to the fatal tree, joked about
the dread hereafter, told the hangman
to be auick about it, - and so was
launched into eternity.
"Yes, this is the place," said he,
sadly, and six men gathered around
bim on the sidewalk and asked : "What
place?" "This is the very place," he
said, more plaiutively still, and ten
more men came up and made inqui
ries. He waited until there were
about twenty-five anxious faces around
bim, and then said he : "The place
where I slipped on a coal-hole cover,
last Saturday." He walked away, but
the air was of a lavender color in that
vicinity for half au hour.
Here is something thatsould be more
gel. erally known. It is said that bed
bugs will live a year without aid or
foot), if placed in a hermetically scal
ed bottlo, Persons who desire to keep
their bed bugs over the wintor without
feeding llieni will do well to remember
this. Thus science assist the most
humble.
