,• Again the vernal equinox is drawing near a focus, And the bullfrog and the blizzard will trade places in the bog; And the crocus and the locust will begin their hocus-pocus, And the gentle goddess Ceres will be lying round I incog. Soon again the prurient poets, both facetious and factitious, Will assail spring's specious splendor with their \ rotten -rot\ most rude; Soon again the giddy gusher will assume an air most vicious, And again by her enchantment every dude will be subdued Soon bluff Wrens, so bitter, will give birds a show to twitter, And the lambs will take occasion, as girls often do, to skip, And the soda fountain fellows, in their sleeves, will slyly utter, As we sate up our nickels for the festive fizz and \flip.\ Soon again the weary merchant will lay off a day for fishing, And with grub grubs, grog and tackle will set forth at dawn of day: But in spite of ail his efforta, and his almost witching wishing, Ile will only carry homeward wlust the jug first took away. Sweet spring! I dearly love you, and you cannot be too vernal; Excuse that strange expression, but it tells you \to a T\ What I wish, indeed most truly, that your stay could be eternal, I would gladly be your poet if you wished rue thus to be. rd be proud and pleased to tell you very often of your beauty, All your graces and your glories in my sweetest strains 1 d sing; I would put my vernal verses far above all other duty, ; And no other bard should call you anything but \gentle spring.\ -Chicago bun. . - Mr. Loweli ill Chicago.

In literary cir lee this boomi Is not spoken of as a boom, but as an impetus - impetus being a word of such classic pedigree as to render it preferable to the lowly and vulgar word boom. This impetus !het became apparent last Saturday afternoon when one of the distinguished members of the Chicago Literary club -a manufacturer of linseed oil -happened to call at the business office of another distinguished member of the club, a wholesale deader in hides and pelts. \I see by the papers,\ said the first littera- teur, \that James Russell Lowell is going to be in town next week.\ \Lowell?

Abe Pilsen and Emancipation Adams, two members of the Tar Heel Coon band, got into an altercation last week wiele returning from a colored gertnan on the Bottom, at Freedom Beesley's place. From: words they soon arrived at razors, and when up near the Gap, Abe playfully asked Surrender Wil- liams wbether he would take some of the light or some of the dark, and thereupon carved Emancipation in an oblique manner, about north by northwest, as the crow flies, from the wishbone to the watch pocket, in such a way as to let the moonlight in on his works. Friends had to put his vest on hind side before to keep him from making the frontispiece to an al- ruause of himself. At fine it was thought that Emancipation had been seriously in- jured, but Surrender Williams, who plays the fiddle, took the A string from his instru- ment and sewed up Mr. Adams in a neat and testy manner, so that if the fiddle string had matched the goods in color you couldn't have told where the stitches had been taken.

N037 so GENTLE SPRING\ QUEER THINGS ABOUT MONEY. • ed A woman who bought an oldfashion bureau at a second band store in Cincinnati discovered a secret drawer in it which con- tained $1,300 in gold and old bank bills. Money was so scarce in certain counties of southwestern Texas during the earlier part of the winter that in some nest:lures the telits of javelina hogs were used as a circulating me- diuns, and 'possum skins were frequently of- fered in liquidation of grocery bills. 'Squire Royal, the tax collector of Taylor county, Pa., took out a well worn overcoat to sell toen old clothes man a few days ago and found 8100 in bills rolled up in a sheet of note paper. The 'squire is confident that the money is his own, but he has no recollection of having placed it in the pocket. John Monroe, a young man living with his widowed sister in the northern pert of Georgia, was digging a bole for a potato bin in his cellar the other day, when his spade broke open an earthen pot containing $ 1 , 480 in gold.

One cold afternoon his mother nut a stove in the room and built a rousing fire in it, and when the young man returned temp - per ouly the charred rerunapts of the notes could be found. A Letter to an Actor. Actors of good face and figure, who play heroic parts and who come to be identified in the minds of susceptible damsels with the heroes they represent, are frequent recipients of gushing epistles. An exchange tells this: \The copying of languishing poetical extracts in the love missives of romantic young females is never more pronounced than when engaged in a thrilling correspondence with a real actor, more particularly if the girl be not entirely too erudite. One of our actors, to whom these poesies arc common. received one the other day that puzzled hen at first. It was a well known fragment, evidently copied from a paper, and it was copied with an unflinching devotion that would allow none of it to escape, as the last line will show: The night is long. ..ay with sobbing heart the old fond prayer: Good sight sweet dreams. .
