ize the town during a recent visit here.

sence would make Capitol Hill unrec-
ognizable to all of us.

BEAUTIFUL SPRING.

Spriug, Spring, beautiful Spring,
When every heart is glad,
It drives aw'ay cold Winter’s chill
And cheers hearts that now are sad,

The mocking birds sing so clear,
The soothing breeze from heaven

Its fields so green, w'ith sun so bright,
Proves Nature most sublime.

With roses white and red,
They grew on the same old stalk
That seemed to us so dead.
