II is cold, but nol bitter, ami the air Is bracing. The sky is (dear—a niosl wonderful blue with hardly a cloud. The sun l.s bright and warm and Ihcro is snow only in shady pliice.s. And iberi^ on lop of the pear tree is the first roliin—pealing forth is tidings. "Spring is here! It Is Springl" Sprlngl And evei'y little hush and (roe is hudding! OIT In the meadows the pinks have come again and the grass is varied shades of l)eautiful green, while Ihe overilowing rivers reflect from the sky that deep, clear, blue! Then conies the meailow lark’s plaintive note, "Spring of the Year!" Then a little later, in the woods, the violets, anemone, dog-tooth come out and In some favored places the ar butus, Then, still later, columbine, lady-slippers. orchids and wild straw berries . The woods are alive with gray-plum- age .song-birds: woodpeckers, orioles, and pevees and In the late afternoon, between the eat-bird's .sweetest song and the whipiioorwlll's lk[Uid whistle, the hermit Ibrtish practices its har monics in various key.s. The lields have their share loo, for Ihe bobolinks and song-sparrows live there among the daisies anil butter- eups. The white and purple violet and asters draw the bumming birds; while near Ibe waler among the cardinal llowers. the king Usher waits for some iinfortiinale little lisb to float in nocently dnwnstreani.
