THE WINTEa.-It is generally CONCEDED
that the present winter, taken altogether, mas
been the coolest and most dlsagreeabe known
in the United States during the present CEN
turv. we believe most Of the North Amerl-
can continent from Maine, where the merc''-
nv froze. TO the woods of Carolina, where the
shows were a foot deep, or to the plains OF
Louisiana and FLORIDA, where tho canes ana
ORANGE trees succumbed to the killing fros''
down even to Cuba, when Fahrenheit fell to
54 deg, will respond to the following from the
Annapolis Republican
"Talk of old fashioned Winters we'll put
the Winter of 1915, against the best oil
them. for an honest downright cold WINTER
Let them tell US of Winter in which the
Chesapeake Bay was three several tunes
! frozen across as far down as Annapolis, and
once to the very Capcs! Let them tell us OF
Winter that began earlier or stald longer
of a Winter in which the very last night OF
February closed the navigation of the Patap'
SEQ and the Severn!-of a regular bni't Nortf
East Snow Storm, as late as the 9TH March
land the Both March also, falling upon sol

us when the mercury actually froze in the
thermometers, before they brag again

From the N. Y. Courier & Enquirer of Tuesday.
PERU AND EcuADoR.-O the 28th
instant wo stated, with reference to Lima
papers up to the 26ih November, that
poitical affairs in Peru, were in very
unsettled state; that Gen. Obregoso,
President of the Peruvian Republic had
lett Lima at the head of six hundred
troops in the direction Of tho province ol
Areouipa, which was threatened by Gen.
Gamarra. at the head of an invading
force.
We are indebted to Cart Voorhees,,
Of the United States Navy, who arrived
on Sunday in the Climax, from Chagres,
for the following important information.
"On the first of January, the troops IN
garrison at Callao, amounting to four or
i've hundred men, availing themselves,
no doubt, of Gen. Obregoso's absence,
rose upon the officers, confined them,
and declared openly against the govern
ment. Having hoisted the Americd''
Colors, they dispatched depuiat'on,
headed by sergeant, to Gen. Lalnente
then on board the U. S. sloop of War
Fairfield, and offered to place him al
the head of the government. That OH
Ger. who was banished on account OF hi:
opposition to the administration, had
managed by somo means or other, to ge
ON board the Erie. He on perceivIne
that the insurgents had no commissioned
officer at their head, refused their oiier
Upon which the revolters became alarm
ed, and the utmost confusion prevaIlet
among them. In the meantime, the
commander Of the troops at Lima march
ed IA force of six hundred men upon the
revolters, and commenced cannonadt
upon them. They held out day and
half; when they were forced to surren
der, and order was restored. "A grea
number of the revolters were immediate

Gen. La Fuenta was popular in Peru
according to Captain w., and was can
didate for the Presidency.

THE LAST WORDS OF THE AUTHOR OF
LACON.


How long shall mans imprisoned spirit groan
'Twxt doubt of Heaven and deep disgust OF
Earth'
Where all worth knowing never can be known,
And all that cun be known is nothing worth.
Untaught by saint, by cynic, or by sage,
And all the spoils Of Time that load their
shelves,
We do not quit, but change our joys in age
Joys framed to stfe thought, aud lead us'irom
ourselves.
The drug the cord, the steel the flood, the fame,
Turmoil of action tedum Of rest,
And lust to change, though for the first proclaim
How dull Life's banquet is how i'll at ease the
guest.
Known were the 'bill Of fare be;6re we taste,
Who would not spurn the banquet and the
Prefer tn eternal. but obsious fast,
To Lies lrail- -lretted thread, and Deaths sus.
pended sword!
lie that the topmost stone Of Babel planned,
And he that braved the crater's boiling bed
Did these a clearer, closer view command
or Heaven and He'll, we ask, than the blind
herd they led
Or he that in Valdarno did prolong
The night, her rich star-siudded page TO read;
Did these clearer, closer view command
Ills fixed and final home, from hesbly thraldom
freed!
Minds that have scanned creations vast domain,
And secrets solved, till then to sages-sealed
Whilst Nature own'd their intellectual reign
Extinct have nothing known-or NOTHING
have revealed.
Deveuring grave! we might the less deplore
The exiingushed LIGHTS that IN thy ''dark
ness'' dwell,
Would'st thou, from that lost zodiac, ONE re-
store,
That might the enigma solve, and Donbt,man'
tyrnnt. queIl.
To live in darkness-in despair to-DIE-
Is this indeed the boon to mortals given?
Is there no port-no rock of refuge nigh?
THERE Is-to those who fix their anchor hop'
in Heaven.
Turn then, o man. and cast all else aside;
Direct thy wandering thoughts to things above
Low at the Cross bow down-IN THAT confde
Till doubt be lost in faith, and bliss-secure'
in Love.

LEARNING A TRADE.

There are many people who dislike the
name of mechanic, and who woulo, rotheF 'h"l
nut their children to an honest trade, tug
hard at their business, and live sparlngy tor
the sake of giving them college education.
They think meanly of him who wears the
leather apron, and is not dressed up IN fnery
and show. This we believe is the reason,
why there are so many pettifogers and vag-'
abopds in the world. Many son has been
sent to college with the expectation OF his
parents highly excited, but like the fable of
the mountain, he only produced mouse
We think highly of our colleges and literary
institutions, and rejoice to see them prosper;
but we ore more pleased to see an indlvldu-
al's mind turned in right current. There
are hundreds of lawyers who would nave
made better mechanics, and have obtalned
more comfortable livelihood. And we have
10 doubt there are many mechanics VINO
would stand high at the bar, had they been
blessed with liberal education. But II
child have talents they will moi remain hid
and no matter what his trade or profession Is,
they will sooner or later burst forth. There
are many individuals in the literary world,
who were bred to mechanical trades. Many
of the editors of our best conducted Journals
are mechanics, and do credit to the stations
tUey OCCupy. hnu oui sO''
nerally speaking, are the most industrious
part of the community. They are almost al
ways busily employed. But it is apt to be
otherwise with professional men. They are
often datory-lazy. 1t is an effort for them
TO bend their minds to difficult pursuit.
They are well informed because they spend
much of their time in reading; but tins is an
improbable business, unless we have def
mite object in view.
In these remarks we wish it not to be un-
derstood that we think lightly OF professional
men, generally; for we do not. We wish to
address ourselves particularly. to those pa
rents who are hesitating what occupation to
give their children. Are they ingenious
fond Of mechanical pursuits Give them a
trade. Do they love to study, and cannot give
their attention to any thing else? Send them
to college. Let your children choose them
selves what trade or profession they will fol-
low; and what they select will generally prove
the most advantageous in the end. But never
think trade too humble for your son TO work
al. nor profession too important tor him to
acouire. Let every parent pursue tins course
with his children, and we are confident there
would be lees unhappiness and misery in tht
world. You can never e rec n trade or pro-
fession upon child; it must be natural tc
him. A disregard for child's inclination ~
this respect, has often produced his ruin, o'
at least, untitled him for the duties OF lIie.-
Bos. Mechanic.

From the Christian Offering
THE SABBATH DAY.


o Day Of Peace, whose dawning ray
Smiles meekIy in the eastern sky;
love to own thy soothing sway,
While earth's vain cares and tumults die.
o Day Of JOY, thy choral strain
Sounds sweetly in the Pilgrims ear;
The listening soul forgets its pain,
And loses all its guilty fear.
o Day of Love, when he who died,
Removes the sinners load Of woe,
And smiling, shows his wounded side,
Whence hope, and life, and pardon flow.
o Day Of Rest, what'heavenly calm,
What hallowed peace thine hours impart!
How often has thy healing balm
Revived and sOothed the contrite heart!
The shades OF earth shall cloud these eyes,
Each earth born joy be lost unknown;
Yet still thy memory shall arise,
Till life's last lingering spark is flown.
