 March.-POets and moralists may picture the horrors and glOoms of November the month of" blue devils," and the father of s,,- cide. in as sable coIoring us they please, but there is no season ofthe year so utterly con- fortess, when nature is attired in garb of so much desolation,-when the landscape is so completely bereft of all that is pleasing to the eye, and when the spirit ofman longs to be released from it's confinement and Ay to some more genial resting place, as at the present. March is literally the wash-tub' of the year, in which are collected all the drpgs of past interchangeable dreary north- easter, the leaden skies, and streets made se- mi-maritime by filth and water. It is the sea son of worn-out hats. faded and thread bare garments. leaky over-shoes, damp feet, corghs, asthmas, jaundices and consump- tions. It is the season, when man desires to be rid of all he wears, of himself and out of the world.-In short it is the month among all others the most useless and the most de- serving of nnihilaton.-Irdueller.
