INTERVALS.

[To THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR.")

gin,—The following lines met with by chance many years ago charmingly express the pith of your most interesting article :— " The longest day is in June, they say; The shortest in December.

They do not come to me that was ; The shortest I remember :

That happy day you came to stay And filled my heart with laughter. The longest day you went away, The very next day after."
