rtrg. Snow Of the season

On Saturday lsays the Boston Atlas the skies
had been all DAY PoTtentous of weather of some
kind, aud tie tall OF snow commenced SimuItane-
ouSly with that OF night. People Of a reverenlisl
turn at FIRST said, All halH but, as the prominent
feature of the storm developed itself, the more
discriminating exclaimed, lis nose The de-
scent, however, was like that of ATernuS, very
easy aud Souu over There was Just enough of
white TO Iemind us OF the black lroSts coming; to
give the chimney tips nightcaP, which in def
ance Of all Po:atoTy Law, they tossed of IN the
morning; 10 make cur caves fearful all day yes
trrtIay as the great original Eve when expelled
from Paradise; to render the walking iike=Ss
last poem, very sloppy; to SHOW all The necessity
o.doUble SOles, though many of u.s., alas! CALI
not boast Of single one. Twas only a lite
toIetunner, but it Called TO mind two runners, and
caused uSio remember what buiFaIoeS were made
for. Bells on tue horses, Gelles the sleigh; tie
rDait level; tile stars SnaPPIHg overhead and the
whip below; the genuine two-fOTty inspiration
working IN the hoOlS; the road side Jun; the
dance; the supper, with egg-nogS for the wicked
and glngertea for the virtuOuS; the rapid return;
terrible den0umeHt-a grand smash; no ZONES bro-
Ken except the lin the dresses; home at last
Allthese things entered many great heads and lit
tie ones on Saturday evening. After. the FIRST
snow we feel just as certain thattfe seas IN has
commenced as five had heard Nj. Ba ry anonnce

is no longer necessary TO Keep cool. We change
all our habits, hibatuly, preambulatory, mental,

theUse Of fires guile well as any member Of the

herOically to attend courses OF lectures on the
philosophy Of every thing Now is the time 10
it we really understood them, aud to drnand, in
ZONES OF Indignation, why, in the name Of thunder,
the concettdirectors do not give US something
classical! Now is the time 10 cultivate tue honey
affections; 10 make acquaintance with our chm
neY-pleceS and children, and 10 be upon friendly
terms with our wives. Aud now, above all, is the
time 10 Sludyt The charities; to send dinners 10 the
