Richmond daily Whig. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1842-1861, 1860-12-17

Sxow Sroaa The people Of Richmond, On "tnreing
OUT Saturday morning. discovered that the ground vas
deeply covered with snow and that the fakes we're de-
scendpv thick and fast The scene and temperature
both decidedly wntry and only the ioEtuDale lev Hho
10 rooms warmed By glowing coal or By heat
ed air from registers, escaped the cold eohsi or AePt
their teeth from ehatterng. The snow continued 70 "a.
until late hour the afternoon, and being Utirled In
every direction BY the eddyng Wind, vas heaped here
and there in banks and mounds OF varying depsha but
the average thickness of the fallen uas apparently
about eight inches Those whom duty or business hrs
required to 60 forth, pioneered and uamPed DOM the
PATHWAYS for those who veDtured out subsequently, but
the ROAD was a bard one travel for all The chilly
bast while l drove the fakes into ones face, pinched
the nasal organ until it aehed again, aud the feet unless
enoased in india rubbers better STILL yarn socks worn
outside the shoe Tor the time being converted ro
b.ally into Jumps Of ice.
There Is moral in the snow, the falling snow coming
10 angel purity from heaven, be begimmed and trod
den down in the highways and finally 20 be resolved N
70 a Sghtless With garbage and slush. WHO has
paraphrased this moral eharningys We ind the io-
l1sng floating about the sea Of neWspaperdom, and,
though It's mOuruful cadenees fall upon ear Ike the
strains Of well remembered music cannot recall the
authors name. Il is worthy Of Hood or Lamb, but Is
nov waif waiting be reclaimed Read IT, dear friends
and again thank God that you not reck 81 hopes,
homeless, desOlAte wandering on The earth when the
Frost King rules it, dstines with bis terrible scepre,
hoping and yet not daring to die
