Prepare for Winter.

Judging from the severity OF the wealth
er during the past few weeks, another
autumnaI season has rolled It's appointed
round. Delays are dangerous, and those
who have not made the necessary prfpa-
ralions for winter, had better set about
that important work without further pro-
craslina,ion, that they and their families
NAV be comfortably quartered when the
storms and inclemency Of winter sets in.
The season will doubtless prove pro-
tracted one, and there is no telling what
It's character may be. As was the case
last fail, the weather wise are predicting
mild, open winter, but such predictions
are silly TO say the least of them, and cred
ulous must be that man indeed who pla-
ces 10, reliance upsn such crosklng.

certain persons 10 use lille more fore

this matter, there VOID not be found in
winter so many famiXs without fuel,
provision, or even clothing sufficient to
protect them against the cold. Blu, there
is unfortunately too great a waste OF both

lay out daily -! or 25 cents for "blt-

are common, but useless expenditures,
and if Sustained from the year around,
would place many poor family beyond
the reach of want during the cold and

most incredible that any man should sink
so low in the scale of humanity, as to
thus neglect the wants of those Deepen

prodigality and love for Rum but suck
