When th sky is a dream of violet, And inedi.s ir- lieu with gold, Ana the -a in robe »1 the e ir h is set With th j wels wio igbt of old; Wh.-n 'lie w.«o Hind* *ave mc'ioril seas An l tin* purple mountains loo n, It is Heaven io cotiie, with birds and bees To the least uf apple bloom. II. For the g ibled r«.of of home arose O’er the sheen of the orchard snow, And is < 'll in sli. iue, when storms repose, An f the gn iriy br inches blow; And <hemusico. cbildhooi’s singing heart, That w is lost in the ba k v.ird gloom, May bo n<* n d when the rooms meet und pari At the fea*t of apple bloom. III. And I think when thetrejs displ ly a crown Lik • the gleam of a resting dove, Of a face that" was framed in tres*»es brown, And aglow wi.h a in >tber’s love; At the end of the »»rebar 1 path she stands, And I 1 i.igh it my mtnhood’s doom, As my •»[• rit flies wiib I’fte 1 hands, To the feast of apple bloom. IV. When the rainbow piths of fade 1 skies Are restored with the diamond rain, Ami the joys of my w isted par idise Are return'llg to earth again. It is sad ler than death to know how- brief Are the smiles that the de id assume; But a moment allowed, a flying leaf From the feast of apple bloom. V. But a golden arch f »rever shines In the dim and darkening past, Where I stand again, as the day declines, And the world is bright and vast; For the glory that lies along the lane Isen Io ire I with sweet perfume, And the world is ours, ami we are twain At the feast of apple bloom. VI. She was more than fair in the wreath she wore Of the creamy bmls and blows, And she come* to me from the speechless shore When the fl »waring orchard glows; And I sigh for the dreams,so sweet and swift. Tout are laid in a stored tomb— Yot are nothing at 1 i-t b it fragrant drift From the feist of apple bloom. —S am . L. S imi ’ sjn is O regonian . The Merry Month of May. All who appreciate the beauties of nature when adorned in her brightest robes, are "rapturous over that season, of which May is the central month, when all the land rejoices in its release from the icy chains of winter. Then bttle birds fill the groves with their sweetest music; the atmosphere is fra grant with the perfume of fresh foliage and brilliant flowers; the lambs and brooklets skip and play along the ver dant hill-sides; the many scaled lizzards crawl out on the granite boulders, and enjoy the somniferous geniality of the sunshine, aud the most emotional of our poets come to the front and warble in unisouiwith the rejoicing black bird and robin red-breast. In the older states, where our parents “took their start,” before they bruised the sage brush of the great plains with their wagon tires and then entered upon the contract of uprooting the forests and tearing up the virgin soil of the far west, the seasons were more clearly de fined than in our genial climate, and the spring-time marked a happy transi tion from a season of peculiar severity. There was good reason for their rejoic ing iu nature’s spring awakening, and it is perhaps as much through the in fluence of old time associations as any thing else, that we are wont to regard the month of May as the season for pic nics and excursions, straw hats and lin en coats, and bows, neck ties aud arti ficial flowers, as gorgeous as the varie gated tints of the changed and beauti fied landscape. But those who watch carefully Fashion’s ever-changing ka liedoscope, will take advantage of the newly awakened appreciation of the beautiful in nature and art, and mor chants, milliners and tailors will not fail to advertise, through their local papers, what they may have on hand, to gladden the hearts of those who re- joice in the genial atmosphere of the spring time.

If we thought the world would blame us for its publication, we woubi never take it from our old pocket book, where it has kept its place for so many days, but there is perhaps not the re motest possibility that Maggie will ever cast her lovely eyes upon this page and perase the letter written in the days of her sid setporation from her own sweet William.
