Oc- casional breezes and some rain * for the Middle States, with light smorefalls along the coast of Pearyland and Uppjern- javikj. The dun-cow with the yellow spot Now lows her songs of joy and chaff Unto the fresh-laid baby calf; While little lambkins, void of kilts, And blithesome, tuneful roundelay. ‘The stalwart truckman wears a smile That stretches on ‘most half a mile, Because his heart is all aglow With splendid visions of the dough By sitting in a fairy ring Upon the early lawns of spring, And on the morrow sport a nose Much redder than the reddest rose.

Run here and there upon their stilts, Like daddy longlegs in their grace, And plunge along in heedless pace, Unmindful of the minted sauce He'll shortly place within his till When he collects his moving bill. Along the public thoroughfares We see the bureaus and the chairs Of those who on the first of May Go moving, moving on their way To newer scenes and larger flats; With here and there some beaver hats That careless van men in their ride Have strewn along the countryside. And now and then we hear the crash Of some fine mirror gone to smash, Aa those who take it in their care NOTES ON THE ABOVE DATES. If on inspection of these dates it is found that winter lin- gers in the lap of any of them, the consumer will do well to boil them carefully in hot water and let them lie in the sun for a little while before using. Owing to the rising temperature and the consequent increase in the number of wilted col- lars to be laundered, we huve taken especial care to provide five Mondays or wash days in this month, and an equal number of Tuesdays for dry- ing purposes. Because of the approach of the summer vaca- tion season, we have cut down the number of Sat- urdays to four, which should be ample at this season for the half-holiday purposes of our con- sumers or the full-holiday uses of their children. We have reason to believe that the fifth Tuesday in this month will be tol- erably warm, and we suggest to our consum- ers that they keep it away from furnace fires, lest it become overheat- ed and to that extent useless.

The oyster on vacation goes, And bids defiance to his foes, And grins and grins the livelong day Because there are no ‘‘r's'’ in May. He leaves his throne unto the clam, And does not care a tinker’s slam, And turns his head far out to sea To join once more his family. Oh, gladsome time! Oh, days of glee! There is no time from A to Z Or running back from Z to A, Can hold a candle unto May! HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS FOR YE MONTH. REY. APROPOS OF HALLEY’S COMET. Look quick. wifey. The comet's got here! you will do well to keep your apple If you are changing your place of residence at this time, the occasion is a propitious one for getting rid of that large oil painting of your mother-in-law which your wife insists on plac- ing in the dining-room. Any reliable truckman will put his foot through it for a small considera- tion. . After moving into your new apartment, if you find that in the confusion you have mislaid your tacks, take off your shoes and walk about the rooms in which the carpets have been laid, and you will be sure to find as many tacks as you want, if not several more. This is a good time to think about your sum- mer corn. Some farmers put it off until late in the month, but it is the wiser course to secure the services of an expert chiropodist before you leave town.

If you have saved your winter ici- cles, it will do no harm to watch them carefully during the month of May, and to transfer them as soon as you conve- niently can to your refrigerator.
