SPRING SONG.

Spring comes hither,

Buds the rose;

Roses wither,

Sweet Spring goes.

Summer soars,—

Wide-winged day;

White light pours,

Flies away.

Soft winds blow,

Westward born;

Onward go,

Toward the morn.

George Eliot.

Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute.

C. C. Pinckney.
