When the radish bloometh brightly, And the peas are coming round, When the "tater" slowly rlseth From the rich and mellow ground; When tho lettuce gives itssurceaso, And the parsnips come to view, And the onions fast increase In a mad and merry crow; That's the timo when earth hath pleas ures And tho sorrows roll away, For the ground reveals its treasures And wo think "thoy'vo come to stay." April in Tennessee is like a smile on a child's tear-Rtr.ined face. It is a month of disappointments, of broken promises, and is as full of guilo as an accomplished flirt. While it laughs it threatens tears, and when the tears fall in sprinkling rain the laughter comes back in flashing sunshine, and every thing looks better, brighter, more beau tiful than before. It is the cloud-shadow of the year, and spends its measure ment of existence as mysteriously. " Dream. Dream of the future dim 'Tis thine alway to dream Though dreams but oft deceive, No mattor what they seem. And thoughts may fleetly fly As on the swallow's wing Far to most distant sky, And pleasing omens bring; And should perchance they fail And wrathful tempests seize The place of gentle gale, Still dream of pleasant lees.
