1t is a very superior article for washing and

Farewell, thou cold winter, to bid thee good bye,
Brings pain to no bosom, and tears TO no eye;

Are parted with gladly. SO is it with thee.
We're forced to receive then-and by them be
reased;
And must to seem civil, appear to be pleased
Tbey come unnvited. like thee, and their stay
Like thine, is less welcome than going away!
Cold, cold was thy coming, repulsive thy form,
Thy countenance clouded-enwrapt in storm
Chill frost thy companion, attending, came on.
And hangs about with thee-and will till ye're
goue.
Why stay ye here scowhng, 40 gloomy and cold,
And white as ghost in its winding sheet roll'd'
Those signs Of thy exit in gladness are seen,
That spring may succeed thee-the season oi

Then fare thee well, winter-to bid thee good
bye.
Grieve- nobody's bosom and mostens no eye
With patience we've borne with thy cousih-likt

Till we are impatient to have thee away.
