Not all 50 Hard.

"It's so hard to have nothing to cat but
porridge, when others have every sort oi
dsinty," muttered Charlie, as he sat with
his wooden bowl before him.
"I,'s hard to get up so early, these bit
ter cold mornings, aud work all day, when
others can enjoy themselves without an
hour Of labor"
ais very hard to have to trudge along
through the snow, while others glide
about in their sleighs."
ais great blessing" said his grand.
mother, as she sat at her knitting, "it's a
great blessing, to have a roof over ones
head when SO many are homeless; it's .
great blessing to have sight, aud hearing,
and strength for daily labor, when so
many are blind, deaf, or suffering"
"Why, grandmother, you seem to think
that nothing is hard" said the boy, still
in grumbling tone.
"No, Charlie, there is one thing that |
think very hard"
"What's that" cried Charlie, who
thought that at last his grandmother had
found some cause for complaint.
"Why, boy, think that heart is very
hard that is not thankful for so many
blessings"

Southern Confederacy. This most origi-
nal and Christian method of raising the
wind, will doubtless increase the admira-
tion of the freemen of Britain, as we'll as
the "Dimmicra,s" of the North, for their
"misguided' Southern brethren, to q
greater height than ever.
We do not see one Of the sham Demo.
