One for the day, and one for the night. But, ah
baby yelling, Ihate babies. Natural instinct. And
coughing young men with coughs should stay at
home. Beautiful rbands some OF the gals wore

the long Parliament:
Think If YOU could send brother Mait out to our
goody city, it would add much TO his temporal and
eternal advantage. The spirit has extended among
the people far, as to open their pockets well
their eyes. Allthey want is some mighty master
orator to breathe upon the Goals, and then will be
seen the flame of religion burning to the skies
Some of the old ones augur strange things from such
unusual excitement; but according to my apprehen-
have nothing else to do, as business has become like
ditch water therefore the christian to his church,
and the ungodly to his souls salvation.
Last week child was taken from cart on the
Fourth street road, where il had been laid at night
by some inhuman wretch and there left to perish
The morning snow had drifted the little sufferer,
its limbs were frozen stiff: Thus Is 1t probable that
the guilty mother has added another sin upon her

theatre to lecture in. understand there lsto be
company on shortly. We have nothing but dulness,
stupidity and wickedness in and around about our

sinner must 60 to church, or stay at home and bite

Old winter has commenced to gather up the last
remnants of her cold abOrs and well she may, for
her lingering has been long and severe too long for
many, very many poor and suffering people. Una
BILE to work in the rugged winds, with no money in
their Golfers, no food, no rament to protect them
from the angry blast, they have looked upon life as
a curse, and sought repose from the sneers and hate
of the world, in death. Others have dragged along
with care worn looksand feeble limbs-not in hope,
but with burden too great to be washed away be-
yond the reach of smiIes beyond the reach of mo-
ney beyond the power OF man with his ''little brief
authority" and that burden a broken heart!
