TIE COMING W1HTER.-On Wednesday nieht
occurred the flret frost Of the season; genu-
inc white frost-an eloquent furerunner Of
winter, ice, snow, cold blasts, shirering hu-
manity, with coal twelve dollars per ton and
wood at a propoEtioDatc panic price. Wnat
with the icy paddock to be put upon this
port, the starvation prices set upon every
thing, the hundreds Of families whose heads

coming winter brings in It's train severe trials
aud solemn responsibilities. The former, The
poor will have; the latter pertains to the
rich. Societies ard associations may do much.
They cannot do nil. There will be plenty of
work for every man and woman. Taose who
lave interposed their strong arns between Us
and tyranny demand that their families shall
be cared for in their absence. There will be
many out of employment, and they merit as

it takts more than q weeks wages to get d
cord of wood.
It Is OF no use to disguise the fact that we
have go. to buckle down to the work and
make up our minds to economisc and provide
for The poor IS We have never loae before.
We have not only our brave boys in the field
and hospital to care for, but their families at
home in many instances, AID the worthy in sll
parts Of the city, and this can be best done
and easily done By prudent, domestic ecoa-
omy, the exercise OF which the results Of var
