SPRING’S RETURN.
Spring is coming, Queen of seasons!
Winter's icy chains are riven
From his throne, the cold, stern, tyrant,
By her melting glance is driven.
Spring is coining, Queen of seasons I
Wake the echoes far and wide—
Flora with her hosts of heralds,
Greet the New Year’s blushing bruje.
Spring is coming, Spring is coming !
Rob’d in emerald, crown’d with light,
Moving with unconscious heauiy,
Proudly, in her queenly might.
Spring is coming, Spring is coming t
Ladep'd with her treasures rare,
Cull'd from Time’s primeval bower—
Breath’d upon by Eden’s air-
Spring is coming. Spring is'coming j
Life and joy are in her train —
As if by magic, buds and leaflets,
Wake to life to bless her reign,
Spring is coming, Spring ist ponding 1
Rear the mock-bird tribute pay,
Trilling qotps of heart-feltgladness,
lion’ring thus her gentle sway.
Spring is coming, Spring is coming!
Hear tlie hum of insect life,
Rous’d from torpor—gaily flitting
Here and there, where joy is rife.
Spring is coming, Spring is coming 1
Sylvan glade and sunny dell
Are bringing forth, their first-born flow’rets,
’Neath the moonbeam's potent spell.
Spring is coming, Spring is coming I
Naiad, nymph and woodland fay,
03"rings bright in rich profusion,
Fling around her enamell’d way.
Spring is coming, Spring is coming 1
See the countless, gaudy flowers,
Twin’d in garlands, wreath’d in chaplets,
Interlacing leafy bowers,
Spring is coming, Spring is coming!
Nature joins the bright array—
Sunbeams, dew-drops, vernal showers,
Usher in their queen so gay.
Spring is coming, Spring is coming!
Soften’d air proclaims her near—
Gentle zephrs, richly freighted,
Ba.uiy, dreamy, odours bear.
Lo! she stands within Time's portals—
Rosy hours are havering nigh,
Her moments—tiny, fleeting things
Like rays of light, are hastening by.
She comes ! she comes! Dame Nature’s
darling—
Swell the'joyous, gladsome sirain —
Ye gifted ones of song and music,
Greet her coming, once again.

ANON.
Some years ago, no matter where,
there liv- d a cosy oid farmer, named
Sweighoffer—of Germau descent, and
accent too, as his speech will indicate.
Old man Sweigholl'er had once served
as a member in the legislature, and was
therefore ‘no fooland as he had also
long commanded a volunteer corps of
rustic militia, he should hardly be sup
posed inclined to cowardice. His son
Peter was his only son, a strapping lad
of seventeen ; and upon old Peter and
young Peter devolved the principal
cares and toils of the old gentleman’s
farm t ao\y and then assisted by the old
lady and her two. bouncing daughters
—for it is very common in that State
to see the women and girls at work in
the fields—ai d upon extra occasions
by some hired hands.
Well, one warm day in haying time,
old Peter and young Peter were hard
at it in the meadow, when the old man
drops his scythe and bawls out:
‘O, mine Gott, Peter!’
‘.VYbat’s de mAtter, fader!’ answers
tlie son, straighteniug up and looking
at his sire.
‘Oh, mine Gott, Peter! again cried
the old fellow.
‘Bunder,’ echoes young Peter, hurry
ing up to the old man.
‘O, mine Gott, der shnake bjte mine
le S ! ’
If anything in particular, was capa
ble of f’ightepipg youDg Peter, it was
snakes; for he had Qnce nearly crip
pled himself for life by tranepi^g upon
a crooked stick, which cramped, tya,
ankle, and so horrified the young man
that he liked to have fallen through
himself.
At the word snake, young ifcter fyj
back, nimbly as a wife-drawer, and
bawled out in turn:
‘Where is der shnake?’
‘Up my trowsis, Peter. O, mine
Gotti’
K), mine Gott!' echoed Peter, junior,
kill him, fader, kill him!’
‘No-a, no-a % he kill me, Peter; come
-T-eome quick—get off my trowsis!’
But Peter, the youoger’s cowardice
overcame his filial .affecti-n, while his
fear lent strength to his legs, and he
started like a seated locomotive to call
the old burly Dutchman, who was in a
distant part of the field, to give his old
father a lilt with the snake.
Old Jake, the farmer’s assistant, came
bounding along as soon as he heard the
news, and passing along the fence where
on Peter and his boy had hung their
‘linsey woolsey’ vests, Jake grabbed
one of the garments and hurried to old
man Peter, who still managed tc keep
on his pins, although he was quaking
and trembling like an aspen leaf in a
June gale of wind.
‘O, mire Gott! Come, come quick,
Yacob, He bite me all to pieces-!-here
up mine leg.’
Old Jake was not particularly sensi
tive to fear, hut K*w people, old or
young, are dead to alarm when a ‘pizen-
ous’ reptile is about. Gathering up the
stiff dry stalks of a stalwart weed, old
Jake told the boss to stand steady, and
he would at least stun the snake by a rap
or two, if he did not. kill her stone dead ;
and the old man Peter, less loth to have
legs broken than to be bitten to death
by a snake, designated the spot to strike,
and old Jake let hiqy have it. The first
blow broke the weed and knocked old
Sweighoffer off’his pegs and into a hay
cock—cobim.
Dh!’ roared the old Peter, ‘you broke
mine leg and de shnake’s gone!’
‘Vere? vere?’ cried old Jake, moving
briskly about, and scanning very nar
rowly the ground he stood upon,
‘Never mind him, Yacob ; help me
up I’ll go home. 1
‘Put on your vhest, den ; here it is,’
said the old crout-eater, gathering up
nis boss and trying to get the garment
upon his lumpy back. The moment old
Peter made this effort, he grew livid in
the face—his hair stood on an end ‘like
the quills upon the frightful porcupine,’
as Mrs. Partington observed—he shiv
ered—he shook-^-his teeth chattered—
and his knees knocked a brisk accom
paniment.
‘Oh, Yacob, carry me home! I’m dead
as nits!’
‘Vat? Ish nodder shnake in your
troushers ?’
‘No a—look, I’m swelt up! Mine
vhest won’t go on my back. 0, O,
mine Gott!’
‘Dunder and blixen !’ cried old Jake,
as he took the same conclusion, and
with might and main the old man, scared
into a most wonderful feat of physical
activity and strength, lagged and car
ried the boss some quarter or half a mile
to the house,
Young Peter had shinned it home at
the earliest stage of the dire proceed
ings, arid so alarmed the girls that they
were in a high state when they saw the
good old dad and his assistant.
Oid man Peter was carried in, and
began to die as natural as life, when in
comes the old lady, in a great bustle,
and wanted to know what v'as going
on. Old Peter in th? last gasp of agony
and weakness, opened his eyes and fee
b!y pointed to his leg. The old woman
ripped up tiie pantaloons, and out fell
a small thistle top, and at the same time
considerable of a scratch was made
visible.
‘Call dis a shnake! Bash !’ says the
old woman.
‘0, but I’m pizhened todeatu, Molly!
See, I’m all pizhen, mine vest—O dear,
mine vest not come over mine body !’
‘Haw, haw, haw !’ roared the old wo
man, ‘Vat a fool! You got Peter’s old
vhest on—haw, haw, haw !’
‘Bosh!’ roars old Peter shaking off
death’s icy fetters at one surge, and
jumping up. Rosh, Yacob, vat an old
tool y )u. musEt be to s iy I vash shnake-
bite! Go ’b$at your bush ness, gals.
Peter, bring me some beer.’
The old woman saved Peter’s life.
The Baby.
The perfection of the providence for
childhood is easily acknowledged^ The
care which covers the root of the tree un
der the tough husks and stony cases,
provides for the human plant the mo
ther’s breast and the lather’s house.
The size of the nestler is comic, and its
tiny, beseeching weakness iscompensa-
ted perfectly by the happy, patronizing
look of the mother, who is a soit ol
high reposing Providence toward it.
Welcome to the parents the puny strug
gle, strong in his weakness, his little
arms more iresistible than the soldier’s,
his lips touched with persuasion which
Chatham and Pericles in manhood had
not. His unaffected lamentations when
he lifts up his voice on high, or more
beautiful the sobbing child-the face ail
liquid grief, as he tries to swallow bis
vexation-soften all hearts to pity and to
mirthful and clamorous compassion.
The small despot asks so little that all
reason and all nature are on his. side.
His ignorance isJmorQ charntingthan all
knowledge and his little sms more.be
witching fhan any virtue. His flesh
’is angels’ flesh alive.' ‘Infancy, says
Coleridge ‘presents body, anc} spirit in
unity; the body, is.aihanimaied.’' All
.day’ betiv.een his three or four sleeps, he
coos.l:jje a pigeon house, sputteis and
ispurs, and puts on faces of importance;
■arid whep. he fasts, the little Pharisee
‘fails Lot to sound his trumphet before
him- By lamplight he delights in,
ishadows. on the wall; by daylight, in
yellow and s;car).et, Carry him out of
doors-hc is overpowered by the light
and by the extent of natural objects,
,a,nd is silent. Then presently begins
■his us£ of his fingers, and lie studies
power—the lesson of his race. First it
appears in no great harm, in architect
ural tastes. Out of blocks, thread spools,
cards, and checkers, he will build his
pyramid with the gravity ol Palladio.
YVith an acoustic apparatus ofwhlstle
and rattle he explores the laws of sound.
But chiefly, like his seniorcountryinan,
the young American studies new and
speedier inodes of transportation. Mis
trusting the cunning of his small legs,
he wishes to ride ou the necks- aud
shoulders of alt flesh.—The small eu-
chanter nothing can withstand—no
seniority of age, no gravity of character
uncles, aunts 1 grandsires, grandams,
fall an easy prey ; hecouforms to nobo
dy, all caper and make mouths, and
babble and chirrup to him. On the
strongest shoulders he rides, and pulls
the hair, of laureled heads.—Emerson.
- A little three year old girl recently
jastonished her mother—who attempt
ed to correct her—by motioning her
away with a chubby little hand and
scornfully saying, “Shoo fly, don’t
bodder me !”

She Didn’t Mean To,
There is sometimes a pleasute to be
enjoyed even on a rainy day. It may
be a momentary one, but pleasures are
not always less intense beoause they are
borrowed or stolen. These reflectionsj
doubtless, came into the mind of ayoung
man a few days since who rejoices in the
profession of a clerk, and does business
ou Canal street. During one of those
dismal days of which we have recently
had so many, he was standing in the
door of his establishment, witnessing a
parting interview between a fellow^ •
clerk aud the fellow-clerk’s sister. The
young lady started away, but forgetting
something, hurried back. Both young
gentlemen had turned around, and were
about proceeding to their business,
when the sisterless clerk felt a pair o|
whits arms clung around his neck and
his mouth pressed lovingly by two rose-,
bud lips.
‘I forgot to kiss you, Charley, 1 waa
the laughing explanation,
‘So you did !’ replied the blushing
recipient.
‘O!’ screamed the lady.
‘O !’ rapturously aspirated the clerk,
The young lady begged pardon. She
thought it was Charley. It is needless
to say the pardon was readily granted,
and the assurance given that on ofljen.c$
was taken.
Death of Another Botbschild.,
At the risk of making this letter look
like an obituary, I must mention the.
decease of another member of that fi
nancial bouse, of which the head and
chief representative died here a short,
ume ago. The Baron Nathan de Roths-,
ehiid, nephew and son in-law of the late
Baron James de Rothschild, of Paris,,
md son of the old Nathan de Roths-
ohil l, of the London Stock Exchange,,
died a few days since, after eighteen,
years of what might be called existence
rather than life. There are many per
sons here who can still remember the
beaujeune hoirurng, so elegant in person, t
dress and manners, who the life of the'
Jockey Club, the race course,, and* the,
ball room. When, still under forty
years of age, his sight first began un
accountably to fail him, and then grad
ually his other senses and limbs until
literally nothing was left buthismindy.
The soul seemed to survive the bod$,.
and the latter, unable in any way to
serve the wants of the former, may be
said to have sat for eighteen years in an
arm chair, waiting for death. Arms,
legs, hands, eyes, every member had
lost the power of being useful, and made
the r unhappy owner absolutely depen
dent upon the care of others. Nothing
remained of this extraordinary exis
tence but the mind. But that was
wonderfully brilliant to the last;and
from his arm chair even, Baron Nath-i
aniel de Rothschild made his existence
felt, it may almost be said, over the
world. Perhaps such.a. lif<p was not
harder to bear for him on whome.it fpll
than for thefftill, young wife w.ho,left
the world a.nd,society to devote herself
to supply the privations of her bns-
band.-—Rome Cor. Philadelpyia Bulle

A Miniature Steam Engine The
ingenuity of American mechanics has
found an eccentric interpreter in W. I.
•l’rafton, of Manchester, New Hamp
shire, vylio ismakiDgthe smallest possi
ble specimen of an engine. Every part
of it is constructed out of a silver half-
dollar. The boiler is to bold about
eight diops of water, but with four
drops the engine can be workd several
minutes. When finished, it is to be
placed under a gla^s case three quarters
of an inch in diameter, and an inch aud
one-eight in height. Some of the par.fcp.
will be so fine and delicate that they
can not be made without the use of a,
magnifying glass. 1 " '•
