FIRST FALL OF SrJ0W.

The snow had begun in the cleaning,
And busily sll the night,
Had been heaping the field AMI highway
With silence deep and white.
Every pine and fir and henlOck,
Wore crmine too dear foran Earl;
And the poorest twig on the elm teo
Was rigged inch deep with pearl.
From sheds new-roofcd with Carrara,
Camc Chandeliers mufiied crow;
The stiff rails were softened to swans down,
And still fiuttercd down the snow.
thought Of a mount in sweet Auburn,
Where a little headstone stood;
How the flakes were folding it gently,
As did robins The babes ia the wood.
Up spoke our little Mabel,
Saying, FEATHER, who makes the snow %
And told him of the good NJ Father,
Who cares for us below.
Again looked ut the snowfall.
And thought of the leaden sky,
That arched DER our first great sorrow,
When that mound was hcuped so high.
remember the gradual patience
That fell frou that cloud-like SNOW;
Flake by fake healing and hiding
The scar of the deep-srabbed woe.
And again to the child whispered;
'The snow that yisitcth ALL
Darling, the merciful Father
Alone can make it fall"
Then with eyes that saw not, | kissed her,
And she kissing back, could not know
That my kiss was given to her sister,
Folded close undcr the deep ming aaow.

Mn. ELIAS FOUNTAIN estimates from
inquiries he has made, that 10000 young
women are out Unemployment in New York

vice and crime which such metropolis
presents. He appeals earnestly to the
sympathies Of the public in their behalf,
and urges upon the clergy Of the city to
endeavor to raise funds for their assistance.
He promises himself to raise over $4,000 by
New Years and hopes in all to get 3d.
