WINTER.


BY MRS. H. c. GARDNER.
Wild wall the wintry winds;
The fitful Northern blast
A thousand echoing erannies finds
Within its circuit vast
The bleak and lcaaess woods,
The mountains rude and boar,
The valleys messy solitudes
Look deaolate once more,
How bright in yonder bower
The summer fountain play'd
How beautiful was shrub and flower,
And leafy colonnade!
The same clear gushing rill
Goes gurgling down the glen,
But are the green leaves waving still,
As they were waving then
The ice hath hung its gems
Upon the branches bare,
And iris-tinted diadems
The forest monarchs wear
But cold, 6, deadly cold,
The prism-likc colors grow,
The purple, crimson, and the gold,
That make the glittering show.
Yet many an omen bright
Doth icy winter bring,
It weareth on its bosom white
The promise Of the Spring
Far up the lodges twines
The ivy's fadeless sheen.
And boldly rise the tapering pines,
And laurels ever green.
Hark how the winds rise!
The eddying currents sigh
Adown the forest corridors,
And vibrate through the sky.

WHICH Is THE wEAKER SEX

Females are called the weaker sex, but
Why Z If they are not strong, who IL when
men must wrap themselves in thick garments,
and cncase the whole in a stout oyercoat 70
shut out the cold, women, in thin silk dress
o., with neck and shoulders bare, or nearly
so, say they are perfectly comfortable. When
men wear waterproof boots over wooden hose
and encase the whole in India rubber to keep
them from freezing, women wear thin silk hose
and cloth shoes, aud pretend not to feel the
cold When men cover their heads with furs
and then complain Of the severity of the
weather; women half cover their heads with
straw bonncts, and ride twenty milcsin in an
open sleigh facing a cold Northwestern, and
pretend not to suffer at all
They can sit, too, by men who stink Of
rum, and tobacco smoke, enough to poison a
whole house, and not appeared more annoy
ed than though they were bundle Of roses )
Year after year they can bear abuse of all

strength was made of iron.
And then is not woman mental strength
greater than mans, Can she not endure suf-
fering that would bow the stoutest man to the
earth Call not a woman the weaker YES
sci for had she not been stronger than man,
the race would long since have been extinct.
Hers IS a state Of endurance which man can
not bear.
Man labors ten or twelve hours per day,
and then his work is done both body and
mind can rest, but womans work is never
done--shc is never idle. From early dawn
her hands are busy, at noon she is not idle,
and at night her task is not accomplished.
When all else has been accomplished, sewing
or knitting fills up her spare moments till the
hour of retirement arrives, and even then,
when her lord and master is snoozing it, as
unconscious as sleeping clam, she must take
care Of the child, and perhaps be aroused from
her fitful slunbers ten times each night.
If woman was not the stronger vessel, she
could not live three years after marriage.
