COLD WINTER is COMING.
yprts ya,ss "

Cold Winter IS cOinhg-iake care - your toes,
Gay Zephyr has folded hi, fan;
HIS lances are cuuchd in the icc-wind that blows,
So nail up warn Us you can
Cold Winter is cossing--ae's ready to start
From his home On the mountains afar;
He is shrunken and pav,e looks froze to the heart,
And snow wreathcs embellish his car.
Cold Winter is coming--lIark did We not hear
The blast which his leraid has blown
The children of nature all tsembled in fear;
For 20 tnemis hi, p 'wer made known.
Cold Winter is coming there breathes not flower,
Though som times the lay may pass fair.
The soft lutte is removed from the adys lorn bower
Lest it colby be touched by the air.
Cold Winter is coming II sr,pt are the groves,
The passage birds hasten away.
To the lovely blue South, like the tourist, he moves,
AMI returns ike the sunshine in May.
Culd Winter IS comng--he'll b eathe on the stream
And the bane of his petrifc breath
Will seal up the waer5, till, in the moon-bcam,
They lie stlress as slunber Of death
Cold Winter is coming, and soon shall we see
On the panes, by that genius Jack Flost;
Fine drawings of mountain stream, tower and tree,
Framed and glazed too. without any cost.
Cold Winter is coming-ye delicate fair,
Take when your Tyson you sip
Drnk quick, and don't talk lest he come unaware
And tuIn 1t to ice on your lip.
Cold W,nteris coming-I charge you again
Mutfe warm--of the tyrant beware
He's SO brave, strike the young hero he's faln,
He's 50 cold nell not favour the falr
Cold Winter is coming--l've said so before
1t seems I've moi much else TO say;
Yes, Winter is coming, and God help the poor!
wish 1t was gong away.

longer shall dwell in darkness.
As citizen of this country, ] can look
to Liberia, aud rejoice at the beneficial in
fluence which the prosperity of that colo
nv is destined to exercise upon our colour
ed population. As citizen of this world
| can rejoice that another continent will
soon be added to the domain of civiiza-
ton. But as "a disciple of Christi can i'm
fnitely rejoice that the gospel is there adj
vancing. ! see it carried swiftly along The
coast of Africa; see it penetrating the
remotest deserts and forests of that be-
nighted continent. I see it demolishing
cruel and degrading superstitions, over
throwing The affairs of Mnlock, and carry
ing in its progress, peace, and virtue and
happiness, to regions where brutal vice &
ignorance now bear sway.n' In this view, /
can almost forget my adherence of slave
nv. | can almost feel reconciled to the
thought, that our forefathers unjustly and
cruelty tore those hapless people from
their homes, and brought them to our shores.
If we send them back with the Gospel OF
Christ, and thus give them as reward for

CHRISTIAN ALMANACK
FOR 1929.

PUBLISHED BY THE AMERICAN TRACT SOCIETY.
This work, we believe, is meeting with
the full appreciation of Evangelical Christ
ians, wherever it has been received. The
Spirit of the Pilgrims, in closing briefre-
view of it, embracing some valuable ex-
tracts, says,
We notice thus early this little manu-
al, that we may apprise our readers of its
existence, and assure them that it contains
its usual quantity and variety of instruc-
tive, interesting, and profitable matter
There is not a page of it,, that does not
contain some useful information, and not
sentiment expressed in it, to which the
most conscientious friend of God and man
would not willingly subscribe. How diff
ferent this from some of the Almanacks in
use. And how desirable that the circula-
ton of this truly religious manual, which is
already very great, should be extended still
more"
The season Of the year has now arrived
when this work should be procured by ev-
cry Christian family. The edition for N {.
York, Connecticut, and New jersey, adj
apted to the meridian and latitude of New
York city, may be obtained at the Socie-
tvs House, No. 144 Nassa,-st. at E cents
