WINTER rs COMING.
BY ELIZ A COOK.

Winter is coming who cares who caresi
Not the wealthy snd7prOud, trow;
"Let it come" they cry, ''what matters to Us
How chilly the blast may blow
"We'Il feast and carouss in our lordiy halls,
The goblet of wine well drain,
Well mock at the wind with shouts of mirth,
Aud music's echoing strain"
"Liite care we for ihe biting frost,
While the fire gives forth its blaze;
And what to us is the dreary night,
While we dance with the waElight's rays!"
'Tis thus the rich of the land will talk;
But think: oh, yc pOmpous great,
That the narrowing storm rE laugh at within
Falls bleak on the PooR AT THE GATE.
They have blood their veins, ay, pure az thine,
But naught TO quicken its flow;
They have limbs that feel the whistling gale,
And shrink from the driving snow.
Winter is comng-oh! think ye great,
On the rooaess, naked and old;
Deal with them kindly, as man with man,
And spare them tlhe of your gold

The Farmers Winter Song.


There is time the wise men saith,
For all things TO be done;
To plough, to sow, to reap-as roll
Successive seasons on,
For pleasure, too, in Aowry spring,
In fragrant summers wales,
In fruitful autumn's yellow fields,
In winters evening tales.
And though the fields are bleak and drear,
The forests verdure gone
And all is withered, cold, and sere,
In garden, field and lawn;
There's something left and much to cheer,
And charm the Farmers heart;
For wintry winds TO harvest hope,
Great influence impart.
And while he views the drifting snow,
And treads the frozen earth
He has home his garners full
And social blazing hearth!
And thus he sings whate'er perVade
The earth or sky al morn;
OF Winters winds and summers suns,
The Farmers hope is born!

spectacle travellers on our western high
ways-by residents. without family, ta-
ken sick-and BY patients from the sur
rounding towns and country who resort
to this place for relief from surgical and

from the want OF the various comforts

faithful nurses; and been subjected to
heavy and unreasonable charges.

cial attention 10
ALL SURGICAL DISEASES,
PARTICULARLY To
DISEASES OF THE EYE.
To these branches Of his profession

ion for The last twenty-five years, and

experience acquired by constant prac-
lice during that time.

lment lis establishment is suggested
not only as necessary TO supply an evi-
dent want in this city, in the entire ab-
sence of any special provision for The
