Better Days.

AT least let US hope for them. The
American people have something to be
thankful for. They may be thankful
that civil war has ceased that the price
of living is coming down ; that the
times are in every way improving, and
that unless the junA of politicians in
Congress at Washington attempt to car.
ry their internal schemes too far, and
again plunge our country into interne-
cine troubles, we may indeed hopefully
look for speedy return of the peaceful
and prosperous years of the past. We
may be thankful that the future looks
brighter than on the commencement of
any New Year for six years back We
may also be thankful that we have a
Chief at the head of our government
who does his duty without fear or favor,
independent of any party, and who will
revere the great Magma Charta which
he has sworn to uphold and defend, and
will protect the interests of the people
both at home and abroad.
AS nation, the history Of the world
does not furnish an example OF unpara
]elled prosperity as has been allotted to
US through the wisdom and beni6cence
of an Omnipresent God. After five
terrible years of murderous war, and
that a war of brothers, which would
have irretrievably ruined any other ma.
ton on the face of the globe, yet to-day
we stand the leading nation of the
world. Let us then, in the funess of
our hearts for all these blessings, hope
and pray that if more troubles are in
store for u.s. that the Good Being who
is the guardian of our destiny may either
avert them, or carry us as safely through
them as he has done in the past.
As individuals we may all have priva-
tions, tribulatious and sufferings in store
for US, but bold heart will overcome
all ofthem. Let us school ourselve. to
look well to the present and the future
will take care Of itself. NJ.

LoTs OF FUN.-Old mother Nature,
who has been letting things run loose
for the past year or two, walked up to
the necessities of the season, and on
Saturday night and Sunday last. she
did her incest in the way of snow
storm-she did the thing up in genteel
style, giving US twelve to fifteen inches
of clean white snow, and rendering the
prospects for gay time during the hol-
lidays fattering in extreme. The gin
gle of sleigh bells is gay and joyous mu-
sic, and we thank old dame Nature in
our heart of hearts for being so kind to
the boys and gals, as to send this snow
Just il the nick of time. Won't there
be a smashin' time. Moonshine and
snow all at once. How many merry
makings, happy hearts, and happy match
es, and other little ct ecetras will result
from this opportune favor of the blessed
old Dame? Heigh'ho we almost wish
we were young again. 1t is such jolly
good fun to sleighride with the gal you
love, and in a country where toll bridges
are plenty with nobody to see but the
man in the moon.-Oh, dear,

d young couple living just above
Windsor came to this city on Saturday
to visit some friends. They reside near
the shore of the river on the other side,
and it had been their custom to cross in
a small boat and return whenever incli.
nation suited them. They had been
making brief visit in this city last
week, and intended to return to their
home on Saturday morning.
A strong north west gale was blowing
at the time, aud their friends attempted
to disSuade them from returning Es-
pecially did they think it unwise to VEN
ture out in small boat, and the safer
rout by the regular ferry was urged
But the gentleman had every faith in
his ability to manage boat, 10 matter
how the waves might run, and his wife
had equal confidence in her husband
At least, she determined to accompany
him.
They accordingly set out. 1t was
scarcely daylight in the morning when
they started out. The family upon the
other side of the river expected their
arrival, and when the morning passed
by and they did not come, anxiety began
to manifest itself. Shortly after dinner
one of the family came to this side 20
ascertain the cause of their dctention.-
JuGg of his astonishmeut to find that
they had set out for home early in the
morning. As they had not arrived it
was Immediately conjectured that the
boat had been overturned in the gale,
and that they had been drowned. In
quiry was Immediately set on foot.
A man at one of the mills in the upper
part of the city, who saw them set out
reported that shortly afterward he saw
a small boat which he indintifed as be-
ing the same, drifting down the river,
and bottom side up. This seemed to
decide their fate, and their friends gave
them as lost.
On Monday morning, however, the
missing couple returned to their home
to the astonishment and the delight of
their friends. tseoms that, upon reach.
ing the middle of the river, they found
the gale to be much more violent than
they had supposed. When the full
force of the gale was felt, the boat was
filled with water and nearly capsized.-
The strength of a single man could not
manage it, and it was driven a wreck
upon Belle Isle, just above the CITY,
Though completely saturated with wa.
ter and nearly frozen with the increas-
ing cold, the gentleman and his wife
managed to cling to their little craft un.
til it was driven ashore. They then
made their way to one of the residences
on the island, which they reached in a
benumbed and almost fainting condition.
The gale still continuing very violent
throughout the day and night Of Sunday,
it was impossible to reach the main
land. The capsized boat which was seen
drifting down the river on Saturday
proved to belong to a schooner which
was lying ashore and from which it had
broken away.-DctroH Post December
