WINTER.

The winds are sighing-sobbing
Like mourners round bier,
And from the hill there cometh
A voice that soundeth drear,
AS the trumpet call to Judgment
Saying-"p prepare, prepare!
Spread DER the vale a fieecy pail,
And lay the old year there
Within are sounds of gladness,
And fires that brightly burn,
And stories of the olden times
Are told by each in turn;
Without, the cry of misery
And want salute the ears,
And we look on hoary Winter,
Through mingled smiles and tears.

work four hours each day on something useful,
that labor would be sufficient to procure all the
