everything earth, and is most particularly appbea-
Die to the weather. So the weather changed yester-
day from the clear sunny pattern Of the day before to
one of dark dresr, dripping fog; and down came the
covering from every housetop, not in crysta drops as
upon the day before, but in dark streams OF SCOT and
melted snow. And a change came over the whole
face Of nature that enwrapt only few hours he
fore in white mantle. Now it is changed to one OF
ssbes spotted here and there in little hooks and cor
ners with patches Of white not yet melted away, but
fast going going and before this note will be read all
will be gone unless the everchangng weather UNDER
goes another change. But, amd all its chenges yes
terdav NAV be set down as gloomy Winter dsy-not
apleasant one.
