Will's many friends will miss his pleasant phizabout town- It is many years since there has been ao mauy wild geese in these parte. Somo of the oldest settlers tell me that they do not re­ member to have ever seen more In the spring season. The ducks, though, haro been rather scarce, and there have been but a lew days of good hunting at the lakea. The cyclone monster has begun his work in earnest already, and no dark cloud appears that does not bring with It terror to the tim­ id. To me there4s-aemetbtng awfully grand about a cyclone, which surpasses by far the fear it m*y cause, and causes me to forget all but the magnificent power. This section has been singularly fortunate, so far, and may it so continue. How very cold it hat kept. Why the only cowslips I have seen-and I walked miles to get them--were blooming with hardly elbow room, on the sunny side of a pretty spring, and looked as IF they feared that the wind which came dancing adown the hill was going to pluck their very hearts out. Here and there a bright, warm slope is embroidered with tiny buttercu|S which appear like golden raindrops, but as yet April has been very reluctant about smiling her encourage­ ment to each and every little flower hid be­ neath last year's leaves. After all, though, there have been some flne days, and didn't we have glorious showers, too? I never re. member to bare seen a prettier fsunset; a gayer rainbow, or more gracefully receding storm than that of Friday evening. Yes, April waited long and passed, by several days the zenith of her time before she gave us a single shower, but when she did it was with about as much vigor as I started out with at the beginning of this. There will bo a differ, cnce in the terminus, though--she knew where to stop, but I do n ot. I have no rain! bow to top off with; your visionary mind will have to supply oiie. Tou have had a rest; so have I and the local page of the PLAINDKALBB. too. I only hope you have crowded one-ha If of life's joys into the past two weeks that I have. And do you know, my friends, that I wish that every one ef you could see this dear old world with the same eyes that I do? It never grows tiresome to me, and no matter what sorrow or misfortune might come, this beautiful coun­ try is always here and the very waves would seem to sing a sympathetic song. I pity you, yes. every one of you. who believe this la a bitter, gloomy life to live and that this Is a cruel little globe. I tie the people In it, my dear, but never mind them. There may be many of such, but there are so many more win are kind as kind can be There never is a bright, sunshiny day that I do net thank. God that I live; there never is a dark, dreary one, but what I am thankful, too, for it teaches me even m >re to appreciate when the clouds have rolled away. And it is so queer, isn't it? how much we do drift on through all tbese days which at last lengthen into years, and there are times I know, when one feels like having the oars lay idle, and let the boat drift where it will. There are some billows alwavs but the waves will rip­ ple them out of sight, and at the end, I hope, with all my heart, that we will land on a shore even fairor than this.--Good-bye for an­ other week.
