_Saco, Maine._
[Footnote 1: On the warm banks of the James, this Apostrophe to Spring
may probably appear altogether too late for the season, but on the
banks of the Saco, where a good fire is still necessary to comfort,
and the May-flower, the most daring of our wild flowers, is just
putting forth its blossom in token of _approaching_ Spring, it is
quite early enough.]
