memorable Indian summer Of 1863, have we
expected the next returning day to introduce
pitiless winter; but each morning have we
pointed by another day as bright and lovely
a the preceding. our cline, always treach-
erous, seemed for once To have changed its
vacillation to glorious monotony of sunshine.
Yesterday put an end TO the magic spell that
had been thrown over winter, by which we
have had one long gala day of sunshine for
more than month. IL brought with il lower

intermingled fell eheerlessly and gloomily

Hyemal has succeeded the Estiyal season and
we opine that winter will develop rapidly from
