From Canada, Maine, and other quar-.
ters, the accounts are numerous of be
nefiis experienced from the continued
mild and open weather; and that the
fears of suffering were giving place 10
hopes OF sufficienGy. But Wisdom says
continue to be provIden,, Many can re
collect seasons as mild as the present,
and yet the Winters long. Perhaps,
however, as we had but little summer
we may have little or no winter, One
of the poets of classic land thus sings'
"Efimes are not only dull,but strange
The world is alter'd-- seasons change ::
Extremes, tho once remote, now meet (;
We've summer frosts, and winter hea.
Black spots the SUMS bright face deform,
The south winds chill, the north winds
warm :
Dog days nc longer make us sweat,
Nor hyperborean brcezes fret" :.
