Would you think it? Spring has can*. Winter's paid his passage home; Packed hia lee-box, gone half way To the Arctic Pole, they say. But I know the old rntllan still Skulks about from hill to hlll^ Where his freezing footsteps cHag,

Though 'tis Spring,

Heed not what the poetssing In their rhymes about the Spring; Spring was once a potent queen Robed in blossoms and In grew* That, I think, was long ago; la she burled in tbe snow. Deaf to all our earollng—

Poor old Spring?

Windows rattling in the night; Hhutlers that you thought were tight Slamming back against the wall; Uhosts of burglars In the hall; Roaring winds and groaning trees ; Chimney shnddering In the braese; DolefUI damps In everything—

Saah is Spring.

Sunshine trying hard awhile On the bare brown Acids to smile ; Frosen ruts and slippery walks ; Uray ol d crops of last year's stalks; Shivering liens and moping cows; Curdled sap lu leafless boughs. Nipped by winter's icy sting—

Much Is Spring.

Yet the other day I heard Something that I tt,ought a bird. He was brave income so soon. Hut his pipes were out of tun<; And lie chirped as if each note Came from flannels round his tluwt, And he had no heart to sing—

Ah! poor thing.

If there comes a little thaw. Still the air is chill and raw. Here and there a patch of snow. Dirtier than the ground below. Dribbles dowii a marshy flood ; Ankle-deep you stick In mud In the meadows—while you sing,

'•i his is Hpriug."

Are there violets in the sod T crocuses beneath the clod f When will Boreas give us peace? Or has Winter signed a leas.) For another month of frosi, Leaving Spring to pay t he cost ? For it seems he still is king-

Though 'tis Spring. —Independent.

UNTANGLING.

A Story for the Home Circle, in Four Chapters.

CHAPTER II. After the aflair of th« nose, things

went on a little more nmoothly for while. Jenuie, Constantly encouraged by Aunt Milly, really tried, and to try earnestly is generally to succeed in tbe long run.

"You see, dear, we never know what we can do, till we ]<ut forth all our eflorta," uaid Aunty, when at tbe

lone of an unusually successful dny, tbe two were seated again under tbe apple trees.

"Hut to-day mother didn't praise me one bit, eveu when I showed ber th» bshj's drssscs that I took so nauch pains In ironing; they were ironed nicely, weren't they?"

"Beautifully, Jennie, beautifully, •mt isn't it enough to know that you did well; and didn't your mother's face, so rested and bright at the sup­per table pay you ?"

"No, Aunty, it didn't. I wanted mother to tell me'that I'd done well," and the child's eves filled again with he ever ready tears. "The ironing isn't iisown reward,"

said Aunty laughing. "Well, never mind, little by little, must be our motto in climbing steep hills. And Jennie there's one rule that always holds good. Never look back at tbe rough plaoes. Save all your strength for the next day 's journey."

"At auy rate Aunty, 1 feel to-night as if nothing would ever go wroog attain. I think I really don't care if Dick does say provoking thing*. And if mother ^ou't praise me, you do; and ~ get up at the same hour every morn­ing," and Jennie looked in the face of her Aunt as much as to sav, "Really, what more is there tooonijuer ?"

Alas for Jennie! It was the very next day after this conversation that our little soldier was ingloriously beaten, and ready to give up the whole contest.

It isn't in me to be good. Aunt Milly," she said, going into the ait-ting room with her face stained witb tears.

"Why what doyow mean by that?" "O mother has b«eu scolding me

•bout my room, and says I shall grow up to be just such a woman as old Mrs. Weatberby. And then, Aunty I for­got all iny good reMilutionn, and told mother I didn't care how I grew up, if I could only grow up fast and get away from here. Then Dick came in and said, 'Oh it's in a hurry to grow up is it?'and I threw the duster at him. Mother said I might have killed him. And only think, Aanty it was only last night that" but tbe memo­ry was too much, and poor Jennie gave way to her grief.

"Well Jennie, didn't you deserve to be reproved about your room, was your mother unjust this time?"

"Hbe said I should grow up to be just such a woman aBold Mrs. Weatb­erby."

What Is there so bad about ber saying that?"

"You wouldn't ask me if you should oooe see her. Why she wears rags, takes snufl, smokes a pipe, aud keeps

pig under her bed. You just ought toseeber." And Jennie brightened with tbe interest of description. "You cau't imagine wbat a dirty creature she is."

Aunt Milly laughed io apite of her­self.

It's no laughing matter I assure you, Aunty. I beard the minister talking •bout her the last time he WHS here.

suppose mother told him I should grow up just like ber ; 1 expect she tells him most everything about me."

"I think she tells tbe best things, not the woiet. Tbe last time tbe min­ister was heie I saw your mother show bim that little drawing of yours that won the prize at school.

"Did she really, Auuty ?" "sjhe did really."

••But Jennie, to leave Mrs. Weatb­erby to the n inister, and tbe minister to Mrs. Weatberby, what was was the matter witb your room ?"

"Oh everything. I had accidentally •oiled tbe olean counterpane, and my piteber was dirty on the inside ; and

hadn't put ray clothes away, and my bureau drawers were all mussed up, end tfee dual WM M Inah UUek as

MAY 1, 1873. | everything. I WM looking round to see what I could do, just when mother came iu and found it all out. I was just going to sweep and fix all up nice Aunt Milly, truly I WM."

"Just going to, is a very mischiev ous fellow, Jenny."

"Well you can't do a thing, without just going to do it, can you?"

"But to be just going to do it a dozen times for once doing it, that makes tbe trouble."

"Oh, there's enough to make troub ie."

"And enough to conquer trouble with. A wide awake girl with strong heart."

"It's a regular battle, isn't it Aunty."

"A regular battle between tbe good and the bad."

"But I don't think my own mother •nd brother ought to fight against we."

"Do they ?" "Don't they ? Didn't they make»l 1

the trouble this morning?" "It seetu* to me that, Just going to

one of yoiy bosom friends, began tbe trouble, and that Impatieuce, and An ger, two more of your companions, finished tbe work."

"Oh, Aunty, then you thlok I'm tbe only one to blam»?"

'The le«a we think about the fanlts of others the better. Ourenemies, the only ones that can really harm us, are our own faults."

'I see Aunty, you think that if my room had been in order all the trouble would have been saved."

'That's exactly what I think. And now suppose you put it in perfect or der the very first thing you do. I will appoint myself supervisor of your es­tablishment, if you please—liable to drop in any time, and surprise disor­der, iu case you let the fellow in."

"But I won't Aunty, never fear," and Jenny ren laughing upstairs.

"There's nobody that can do better than Jenny Fanning when she's mind to," said Mrs. Fanning, when Jenny went up stairs that night, after having washed the dishes and put tbe baby to sleep. "I went into ber room towards night, and she had every thing as nice as a pin."

"Yes I was in there myself. Those ferns and grasses that she arranged showed a great deal of skill sad taste.

"They were well enough ; but she'd better been helping me than spending her time getting them."

"Don't you think its well to find out wbat a child likes, aud then, lead her by iunocent indulgence to do wbat is hard ?"

"I'm sure I've no objection to any­body's finding out anything, they please, that's got time. I notice that nobody hunts round much to find out my likes or dislikes."

"At. least June, wouldn't it be a good thiug to tell Jenny when she's tioue well ?"

Hhe knows when she's done well, what's the use iu making a fuss about it?"

"But supposing a little praise makes ber both better and happier, and helps you iu traiuiug ber."

"Mother my bed ain't made," came in loud tones from Dick, at that mo­ment, aud the ijuestion remained un­answered.

"I tu afraid procrastination has sto­len a great deal of tim%in this house, atjil dial poor Jenny isn't tbe only suf­ferer," murmured Aunt Milly, as Mrs. Fanning went up stairs.

I'm glad you're going to have a chance to see John,'' said the mother coming down after a few minutes' ab­sence. "He's always been such a comfort to me. I don't think that boy ever caused tue a minute's trouble."

"I remember very well what a fine fellow he was. I havn't seen him in Ave years," was the reply.

"Oil, he's grown so much since then. He's taller than his father now, and such a tine strong fellow. Milly," and Mrs. Fatitiing's look grew intense, "I believe I should die if that boy should be taken away from me. I couldn't live—I wouldn't "

"You have other children, Jane." "They're so different, Milly. John

is always trying lo help me; and he's so patient that I sometimes wonder where he got his disposition. But it's not stupid patience. He's the best scholar in his elass, and the best in everything. Thing!* always go a deal smoother when John's home."

Patient love makes the hardest road smooth," said .unit Milly, as ii to herself ; and Mrs. Fanning heard tbs words, and she thought of them more than once before she went to sleep.

I think you will have an ally when John comes home," said Aunt Milly to Jenny, as the two were paring early

pples for pies. "Ati ally, Aunty?" "Yes, somebody to fight on your

side." "Ob, Aunty, you don't know John.

He never did anything wrong in bis life, and he always takes mother's part when I'm bad after she scolds me."

"But Jenny I believe we agreed that the battle isn't between you and your mother. I think we located Uie enemy in another quarter. As for John's never doing wrong, I don't he-ieve he would say that."

Well, they don't call it wrong when John does it. May be that's it He's always right aud I'm always wrong, it dou't make much difference how you fix it."

"1 'spose John don't throw brushes at people's heads."

That's because nobody provokes him."

"Grant that for tbe sake of tbe argu­ment. But why does nobody provoke bim ?"

"Because they love him, I suppose." "Now, for instance, you got into

trouble the other day about your room. Does John ever need to t>e scolded for untidynesa?"

"Oh, Aunty! theidea! Wiy John's the neateat person you ever did see."

"And supi«y»e anybody should try to provoke him, what do you think he would do?"

"To tell tbe truth Aunty, I think be'd laugh."

Very well. Nov yon can Me what I mean by John'a being an ally of yours. He has just tbe weapons that you need *ery much ta fight with, aud no doubt he'll be very glad to help you. You ought to get along mueb fiMtev when you have i constant

example of neatness and patience and good temper.''

"But Aunty do you mean that I can ever be like John?"

"Why not? Don't you think M worth trying for?"

"If I only could." "It's only a question cf time, dear,

ifyoti makeup your mind, to use all your power, to drive out your ene mies."

"But nobody ever told me so before I thought Ood made John different and that it was no use for me to try to be like him. In fact Aunty I never thought of trying."

"Time enough, If you begin immedi ately," said Aunty as she put the brimming pan of nicely sliced apples on the pantry shelf.

"I don't wonder the child's discour aged," she thought not ten minutes after, as she heard harsh voices up stairs.

"What have you been doing?" she heard tbe mother say.

"Helping Aunt Milly pare apples,' Jenny answered.

"Of course it was exactly what need­ed doing tbe Irnst."

"I've wanted you more than your'e worth to help tne fill this ticking."

"Why didn't you rr.!I me?" "As if calling you had anything to

do with your coining. I hope you will stay with Milly Fanning if you like Iter so well. Anybody's better'n I am. What has she ever done for you I'd like to know."

"I don't think anybody's ever done much," answered Jenny forgetting herself.

"Of course you don't. Tisn't much to bring you into the world, and take care of you all these years. Why any womati should ever get married I don't know."

"Well mother you've got one child that suits you.''

The baliy cried at that minute, and Jenny ran to his assistance. •

"Does John answer back when his mother is orosb?" said Aunt Milly as Jenny reappeared.

"Auuty! did you hear me?" "Patience is one of your strongest

weapons, Jenny; and you must never forget that all you do and say is seen and heard, even if Auuty doesn't hap pen to overhear."

"You can bring tbe baby upstairs," called Mrs. Fanning.

"I'll look out for him," said Aunt Milly.

"Jenny, do you hear me? bring that child up here," was the only acknowl­edgment of the kind ofler.

Jeuny rolled tho fat little figure iuto ber arms, and went up the hack stairs

"You put him down, with some pil­lows round him, aud help me fill these cases."

Jenny obeyed, and tbe two worked on for half an hour, while baby played with a bunch of keys, aud tumbled over bis pillows, showing bis dimpled legs to the best advantage.

"There's your father, already," said Mrs. Fauuing at last, stopping to look >ut of the window with a handful of feathers in her hand. "I'll go down now, and you can keep the baby here, he 's, so quiet. Put tbe rest of the feathers in the bolster case. I'll come up and put them away after supper."

"All right," said Jenny pleasantly. "Now bntiy, we'll have a good time

all by ourselves;" and Jenny gave the little fel.'ow some pe^ermiut lozenges that she fished out of her pocket.

Aunt Milly would laugh at my pocket, she thought, as she put .back the contents, after getting the candy safely out. It's a4 bad as a boy's. Dear \unty, I wonder if she really thinks I can learn to he good, or any where near good. I'm sure I'll try, and Jenny began putting the feathers into the ticking with great vigor. The work was soon done, and the baity being very busy in gettinK sugar all over his chubby face, his sister took up a story hook and was presently deeply absorbed in the trials and triumphs of a certain J-ick llover. The room was perfectly still. The baby was quieter than ever bahy was before, and Jenny sat by the window with her feet tuck­ed under her. intensely enjoying the exciting adventures of the hero. She had reached a most thrilling scene, when her mother's voice broke upon her like n thun<i<>r clap.

"Jenny Fanning!" "Jenny juinpe l as if the earlii bad

pened at her fret, for there was a tone in the utterance of those words lh:tt uua.it nothing go >d to the culprit. •She looked up bewildered, but she wasn't 'eft long in doubt as to the rouble. Baby had crept into the

featherbed that his mother had left exposed upon the H tor, and there he

was, with nothing visible but his eaii, his fac previously plastered

with moist sugar, was covered with feathers, which he was trying to puil off with the pudgy lingers of one baud, while with the other fat fist ho was vigorously rubbing his eyes. Heaps of feathers lay upon the floor, and not

few had reached tWwWemotest cor­ners of the room by the aid of tbe wind Anybody but Mrs. Fanniug would have laughed at the sight, and Jeuny looked timidly up, hoping that her mother would see how funny it was. But there was no fun in scatter­ed feathers, and a sticky baby, to a tiied woman determined to see the j dark side.

You'd read, Jenny Funning, if I ! worked till I dropped down dead. You'ro determined to make just as much trouble as you can. I hope you'll keep out of my night," and she nak bed up the baby and went down

stairs. Oh dear!" said Jenny, and began

picking up the feathers. [To be continued.]

Our Immense Western Resources ^No Cause for a Panic jet.

in the Xautioal Gazette A writer says:

"A recent circular of the lumber men of Pennsylvania estimatee the number of railroad ties io preeent use in the United Htates at 150,000,000. cut of 2tM> ties to the acre is above rather than under the average, and it therefore has required tbe product of ToO.OOO acres of well-timbeied land to furnish this supply. Railroad ties last about five years, consequently 30,000, 000 ties are used annually for repairs taking the timber from 150,000 acres. The manufacture of rolling stock dis poses of the eutire yield of 350,000 acres aud full supply of nearly 500,000 acres more every year. It appears, then that our railroads are stripping tbe country at the rate of 1,000,000 acres per annum, aud the demauds are rap idly increasing.

A competent authority estimates that tbe select timber from 15<> acres is employed every day, or at the rate ol 45,IKK} acrcs per anuum, ill ship build­ing. including stcamboat-liuildiug. As jt is well understood that the advanc­ing price of coal is causing a revival of wooden ship-building, this demand must also increase.

The circular above referred to makes a careful calculation of the area of timber lauds aud the average yield per acre, aud comes to the alarming conclusion that three years' stocking at the preseut rate, will entirely ex haust the lumber uow standing in Pennsylvania. A similar state ot things may be shown iu all the fores iistricts heretofore furnishing lumber,

except that the remoter regions ol Maine and Michigan will hold out a few years longer. Far-sighted lumber­men are already looking, with noxious nterest to the last two belts of prime

val forests within our borders, which are of sufficient extent to be consid ered as national sources of supply. These are the magnificent pineries of the Upper Mississippi, lying mainly in Minnesota,aud the immense growth of our North Pacific coast, in Wash­ington Territory.

The lumber trade of Miunesota now amounts to 3,000,000,000 feet per an' uum ; but as even this enormous out ting is supposed only to keep pace with the annual growth, this vast pre serve may be said to be almost virtU' ally intact. These Mississippi pineries extend from the headwater of the great river eastward to the Montreal river iu Wisconsin, occupying nearly all of Northwestern Miunesota aud part of Northwestern Wisconsin, aud cover­ing an area of about 30,(KK) square utiles. Here will undoubtedly be tbe seat of our domestic lumber trade for the next fifty years.

Our ship-builders must, and Indeed already do, depend largely on the tim ber of Washington Territory. The gigantic pines, firs and cedars of that regiou are becoming known the world over, and vessels from every quarter of tbe globe load in Puget sound. Tbe foliowiug, from the pen of Hon. Wil­liam A. Howard, Land Commissioner of the Northern Pacific It ail road, gives a description of the mighty trees found about the waters where the western terminus of the road will be located

'There is more lumber around Puget sound thau ever I saw before. There is one channel, called Hood's oaual that seems to run from PortTownsend sixty or seventy miles toward tbe

olumbia river, and perhaps not aver aging over half a mile wide, and if one half of what people said about the timber growiug there was true, and It was here in tbe market, it would ttuild the Northern Pacific Road. The limber is fir and piue. There are three kiuds, tbe white, yellow and tbe red—the red predominating. It has a coarse grain, more like hemlock, but is free from knots, and the wood be­tween the seams that separates tbe layers is of a red color, and soft.

This kind of tree grows to au enor­mous size. ludeed, all that the timber thieves there think of and exert tbvir ugenuity for, is to fiud trees small

enough to handle to advantage, not liking to grapple witb big ones. We went through a portion of this forest when we went to Oly oapia by stage, and it w is very rare to find a tree as small as 3 feet through at the butt.

hey were from 5 to 6, 7, S, and some­times 9 or 10 feet through at tbe butt, and marvelously tall, eome 250 feet high.

What would you say if I stated that saw a tree that would make an

amount of lumber more than the average for five acres iu Michigan?

•>very one that knows pine lumber lands in Michigan knows that 10,000 feet is more than an average; taking the whole of the pine lands of the State, perhaps 8,000 would be tbe fair average. At 10,000, five acres would have 50,'HX) feet.

Now suppose we take a tree 10 feet through that ought to square 6 feet. A piece of square timber 1 foot in length would contain 36 cubic feet, or of board measure 432 feet. Huppose

ou went on iu that way until you bad worked up 200 feet, you would have

times 432 feet, that is, 86,4W feet, and then you have 70 or bO feet beyond that left. I saw there trees 10 feet through at the butt, souud as they could be, straight as an arrow, more thau 250 feet high. It does not make very good finishing lumber, as it is coarse. But all over there are enor­mous white cedars, which even grow ou the islands, and which make very fine iinishiug lumber. I WM told at Olympia that this cedar brought $40 per 1,000 feet at Portland.'

Washington Territory, west of the Cascade mountains, contains an area of 20,000 square miles, and more than three-fourths of this is covered with such growths of timber m is here de­scribed." _

The following anecdote has outlived its early youth but it still reads well : John Phwnix tells tbe story that he was one day leaving 9an Francisco by the steamer. Everybody else WM taking leave of friends—but,he did not know a soul iu the crowd. Ashamed of bis loneliness, as the boat sheered ofl he called out in aloud voice "Good bye, Colonel!" and to his great de-iiitht, every man ou the wharf took off his bat e*#,ffrei»sd, "teleaeJs good*bye t " •

A sweet, pret ty little breach-of-promise case WM tried at Bpringfield last week—Miss Hitchoock against Mr. Wood. The engagement of these par­ties WM a youthful affair, and was en­tered into when tbe man was 17 and tbe maid 15. Year after year went by, but, though tbe parties kept up a friendly intercourse both personally and by letter, tbe false Merrick became enamored of another damsel and mar­ried ber in October, 1672, though six months before be bad written to bis Henrietta that "he could never love auy woman but her." Her lawyer in­dulged, in tbe course of his argument, u a gush of romance not at all of the ,'oke and Lyttleton kind. He pro­

tested against regarding tbe betrothal of minors as "a boy and girl affair." He was, he said, engaged to the pres­ent Mrs. Sterns, bis wife, when he was only 16, and their happy court­ship of nine years WM the briKbtest spot in his life. "And now," gallantly cried Attorney Sterns, "after twenty years oi happy life, I kiss my wife's ips, although she is somewhat faded,

witb the same fervor M in the early days of our youthful courtship." Huch a tender confession as this could but work tbe jury up to tbe proper pitch, and tbey gave Miss Henrietta $4,000 damage* f These the miserable Merrick must discbsrge. Gentlemen wbo indulge In tbe luxury of a court­ship for six years and tbeo marry an­other woman most pay for so dslieate and on usual an indulgence.—iVei* York Tribune.
