I climed high np on a mountain.

Where eft I bad climed before; And I looked far down to the southward Along the Atlantic's shore. I heard a gentle and mellow voice. As soft as a lark could Blag; I had heard that voice In my childhood, And I knew it was the voice of spring. Cut tho mountain was cold and Icy, And down in tbe valley below Tho broad rich acres were covered. With a clean, white mantle of enow.

A train on a calm, bright morning. When I longed for tho mountain air, I climed to its hoary rugged height. And behold the spring was there. She looked indeed like a royal queen; And she spake like the voice of May: 'I conie," sheeakl, "in my dress of groen; But, alas I I con not stay "Behold I bring you many a gift; And I resurect the dead; Mountains and valleys are full of life Where never a foot hath tread. I brought you that scene in tho valley: Arrayed In Its verdure and song; All mi ling as gay as a school girl That lightly goes tripping along.

Railroads, like aU other public improvements, help to deVelope a country, and build up business; bat unlike any other enterprise It calls upon the people to build it and pay for it, while it is owned and controlled by a few men who have little regard for the welfare of the community which aids them in the enterprise. every property owner think twice before he decides to make liberal donations to rich clime.

There never was so much building going on in this city at this time of the year as there is present, and still there is not an empty house in town, and we hear of new buildings to be put up in the near future, and the country, although farmers are very busy, is improving very rapidly; town lots are advancing in value every day business is ion tho increase with our merchants; tbelcrop prospects were never better since the, first settler erected the first cod-up or log cabin; the health of the -people 13 excellent; all classes are prosperous and apparently happy, and this i3 the way things look in this part of the country on thi3, the first day of May, 1883.
