APRIL.
Oh, ever °hanging, ever free,
How like a fickle maiden thou 1
Now smiles, now tears, then Robs and eight,
Frowns flitting o'cr e, sunny brae I
But fickle as thou art, fair sprite,
We love thee in thy varying mood,
And listen for thy footsteps light,
Through sleeping vale and leafless woo&
The stream that all the summer time
Made haste adown the hillside way
To meet the river, and n•]th hila
To loitering through the valley stray,
Imprisoned°° been by nystai wall,
Hae called, fair April, long for thee,
In murmuring plaint of undertone,
, To smite the bolt and set thee free.
The robin sonde his cheery note
To robin, from the tree -top high ;
The blue -bird flies with happy mate—
Two lines of blue 'twist earth and sky ;
Seeking their find sweet summer bona,
Or last year's nest, to make repairs,
Where, through the long, bright, sunny
days,
They'll chatter o'er their household cares.
Tho young lambs gambol on the hill
When° tato was heaped. the fleecy snow, .
While from his perch, on lonely heights,
In his onenote, loud calla the crow.
An aroma of'bursting buds
And early blooms, is in the air ;
The leafless trees show tints of green,
Life, joy, is springing everywhere.
Though liko a fickle maiden thou,
Oh, April, with thy smiles and tears I
Thy petty frowns—coquettish ways,
Make glad our heart°—ne'er wake our
fears.
For we a sterner rule have known—
A king nustere, with visage hoar
And °billing mien. Come thou and smile,
And break the spell of Winter's power.
THE SCISSORS' SOLILOQUY,
I am lying at rest in tbesanotum
Theplaceplace is deserted and still—
Tb my right lie exchanges and manuscript
white,
To my left are the ink and the quill—
Yes, the quill, for niy master's old fashion-
ed and quaint,
And refuses to write with a pen ;
Flo insiste that old Franklin, the editor
saint,
Uced the quill, and he'll imitate Bon.
I love the old'fellow—together for years
We have managed the Farmer'a Ga-
zette,
And although I tun old, I'm his favorite
shears,
And eau crowd the eompeeitoes yet,
But my duties are rather too heavy, I tttinlr,
And I oftentimes envy the quill
As it lazily Leann with its nibs in the int,
• While I'm slashing away with a will.
But when I was new—I remember it well,
Though a score of long years have gone
The heaviest share of the editing felt
On the quill, and I think with a sigh
Of the days when I'd scissor an extract or
two,
'From a neighboring editor's leader,
Then laugh in my sleeve et,th° quill as it
flew
In behalf of the general reader.
I'm being paid off for my merriment then,
AFor my master is wrinkled and grey,
nd seldom lays hold on his pritnative pen
Except when he wishes to say :
"We aro needing some money to run this
machine, •
And subscribers will please to remit ;"
Or : "That last load of wood that Jens
brought us was gr00n,
And so knotty it couldn't be split."

And I'm sorry to say it'sta puzzle to find
Hoed or tail to the most of his matter.,
The compositors plague himwhenever they

The result of a limitless endeavor,
But the darling old raeaal Piet lays it to

And I make no remonstrance what-
ever.
