It is interesting and smooth in style; its type is large and legible; its pages are ample, but not so great as to make the volumes cumbrous.

They were gone a day and a half, and brought home two ducks some envious hunters call them goslins.

The forty days of Lent are fast drawing to a close, spring, that has been even more coquettish this season than is her wont, is now decking herself with beautiful robes of promise, and in nature's waking all rejoice. Hearts expand with the buds, and hopes swell and burst the sheaths that have so long encased them. Much ridicule has been heaped upon spring poetry, but it is the natural language of the season. The heart flowers with nature, and the soft sigh of the caressing wind finds a response as it wakens and stirs tenderest emotions.

The song bird, from some bough just touched with tender green, tells of his southern flight and grows melodious over his return to the familiar nestii' p'ace. This is the season cf youth, of hope and of love; then let poets sing, young men lightly dream, and youn maids indulge in visions. Visions that to her are delightful, whether they open vistas of a pair walking the "loi- path" which in the springtime of love IF NOT, WHY NOT? GALLON day at Osage Mission. 11.
