The Good Old Winters.

In 401 the Black Sea was entirely frozen
over IN 703 not only the Black Sea but
the Straits of Dardaneles werefozen over;
the snow in some places rose so feet high.
In 822 the great rivers of Europe, the Da-
uube. the Elbe, etc. were so frozen as 10
bear heavy wagons for month. In 500 the
Adriaiic was frozen. In 99l everything
was frozen, the crops totally failed, and fam
eand pestilence closed the year In 1867
most of the travellers in Germany were fro
zen to death on the roads. In ia the Po
was frozen from Cremona TO the sea, the
wine casks were burst, and the trees split
open by the frost, with immense noise
In 1896 the Danube was frozen to the bot
tom, and remained long in that state. In
1916 the crops wholly failed in Germany;
wheat which some years before sold in Eng
land at 6S. the quarter, rose 10 2G. in
1908 the crops failed in Scotland, and such
famine ensued that the poor were reduced
to feed on grass, and many perished miser-
bly, in the fields. The successive winters
of 1432-3-4 were uncommonly severe In
1868 the wine distributed to the soldiers
was cut with hatchets. In 1853 it was ex-
cessively cold Most of the hollies were
killed. Coaches drove along the Thames.
the ice of which was eleven inches thick.
In 1909 occurred the cold winter; the frost
penetrated three yards into the ground
In l744 and T45 the strongest ale in Eng
land, exposed to the air, was covered, in
less than Is minutes. with ice an eighth of
an inch thick. In 1909, and again in 1872.
the winters were remarkably cold. In 1914
there was fair on the frozen Thames.

We have often heard of the surprise of
Gen Putnam at the apt text selected by
DR.. Dwight to preach to the army, after the
surrender of Gen. Burgoyne, but have new
er seen so full narrative of the matter as is
found in Headleys ChaplainS and Clergy Of
the Revolutton, publihed by Scribner:
''The news of the surrender reached
camp on Saturday. Next day Dwight
preached at headquarters. Putnam and
his principal officers were present, and new
er before did the young chaplain seem SO
inspired. His patriotic heart, like that OF
the meanest soldier, had been thrown into
ecstasy at the glorious tidings, and it was
require any preparation. Rising before his
attentive, brilliant auditory, he took for
his text, Joel 2: 20--I will remove far
from you the Northern army The effect Of
its enunciation was astonishing, and seemed
like voice from heaven, reminding them
of the deliverance SO often promised BY
the chaplain.
1.-The language Of the chapter applied
with wonderful force to the invasion and
overthrow of Burgoyne. The day of dark
ness and gloominess, the day of clouds and
thick darkness had indeed come upon them.
Before the resistless legions Of Burgoyne
the Inhabitants of the land had fed in ter
ror, aud desolation marked their progress.
1t was time for 'the ministers of the Lord
to weep between the porch and the altar,
and cry, Spare thy people Q Lord Their
prayer had been answered, and now they
could shout aloud, "Fear not, o land, be
glad and rejoice" The theme was one Pc
culiarly adapted to Dwight's glowing lmag-
ination and enthusiastic patriotism. lie
painted in vivid colors the terror and dis
may this Northern invasion had spread
through the land, described the victory
and the exultatiou of the people, giving
God all the glory, and declared that be saw
in it the bright assurance Of final triumph;
'The officers and soldiers were carried
away by his eloquenee, and Putnam was es-
pecially delighted and did not attempt to
conceal his pleasure, but nodded and smiled
in acknowledgements through the discourse,
though he did not fer a moment suppose
that the text was in the Bible, but rather
an inference which Dwight had drawn from
the preceding passage. After service was
over. he was loud in expires 2ns OF admlra-
tion of the sermon and the preacher, but
remarked at the same time to some OF his
officers. that of course there was no such
text in the Bible, and it was made up by
