THE COURIER. Spring The spring comes linking and jinking through the woods, Opening wi' gentle band the bonnte green and yellow buds There's flowers and showers, and sweet songs o' little bird, And the gowan wi' his red croon peeping thro" the yird. The hail come rattling and brattling sne'.I an' keen, Dandtng and blanding, though red 6et the sun at e'en; In bonnet and wee loof the weans kep and look for raair, Dancing thro'ther wi' the white pearls shining in their hair. We meet wi' blythetome an" kythesome cheerie weans, Daffing and laughing far a-doon the leafy lunes, Wi' gowans and buttercups busking the thorny wands. Sweetly singing wi' the flower branch waring in their hands. 'Boon a' that's in thee, to win me, Bunny Spring! Bricht clouds and green buds, and 6ongs that the birdies sing; Flower-dappled hill-side and dewy beech are fresh at e'en; Or the tappie-toone fir-tree shining a' in green Bairnies, bring treasure and pleasure mair to me. Stealing and spelling up to fondle on my knee! Jn spring time the young things are blooming sae fresh and fair, That J canna. Spring, but lore and bless the ever mair. William Miller. Reveries Life seems so hard at times, and I Fain would drop all its burdens with a sigh; And sink to eternal rest. Where endless sleep should stand with out And guard from conquered's groan and. rictor's shout That seemeth best. But life is all a sea, swept by the storms. Upon who;e bosom are tossed the furies -Of souls overcome by fear. Beyond the distant harbor surely his, Where all is bright and the wailing sighs Of earth, I will no longer hear. So then in faith I'll set the sail once more; And with undaunted heart steer for the shore Of that dirinest rest, Where after life has been endured complete. Tis only joy and happiness I shall meet.
