A NARROW VIEW OF THE MATTER

A NARROW VIEW OF THE MATTER. =
The SIN thinks we have taken "a mar
row view of the matter because we ex-
pressed establishment in our last paper
that it should have condescended TO have
noticed certain idle vagaries of the Wash
ington Chronicle in regard TO the Mary
LAM militia. Itattributes our narrowness
of vision in this matter 10 our rural in
nocenoe and seclasion' and to a general
ignorance Of the direction affairs are taking
in the .'outsiGe world" We confess, with
tears in our eyes, that We are not in sit
uation to take as wide "a sweep Of the
horizon as the SIM, and, moreover, that
we have no telescope at hand to '.sweep"
with, and desire none, where there is moth
ing to be seen All this we confess upon
the spot without further prologue, and,
promising, that we have heretofore chief
ly depended upon the-.Su itself to keep
US posted about the outside world, " we
throw ourselves upon our country. IF
this does not explain and yindicate our
ycrdancy, we give it up.

The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1867-08-31

Like the lad who Just passed, we are only
half habited for our duties and but half
awake to the power for good within and
around us. When the press and leading
men shall succeed in impressing on parents
the necessity of bringing their sons up in
useful employments for which they are fitted,
we may look for decrease in the terrible
tide of wickedness that is sweeping over our
country. Then will there he more general
knowledge and development of the beauty
around US, and an appreciation of its design.
Then will our christianity be look on by the
great mass of the young as something more
than a ongfaced, moping, melancholy pro-
fession. But will be sought as atiording the
highest happiness, and opening the soul to
the enjoyment of the good and beautiful
everywhere. How can we expect to enjoy
the beautiful hereafter, if n taste for it is not
cultivated here? What will be the Beautiful
City, with its streets Of gold, its river of life,
its ever-blooming flowers, its great sun light,
and singing choir, if here we allow the sor-
did cares and worthless baubles of life to
blind us to the pleasant landscapes, the linz
pid streams, the sweet flowers, the life giving
sunshine, and the songs of the birds? These
are all given to teach us lessons of beauty
and gentleness; to assist us IN making our
probation success, so that we may be pre-
pared to enter on the grander enioyments
and duties of the Hereafter.

Old Time Winters.

In 1904 the cold was so intense that the
Thames vas covered with ice giIty-one
inches thick. Almost all the birds persisted.
In 1851 the cold was so excessive that the
famished wolves entered Vienna and attack.
ed beasts and even men. Many people in
Germany were frozen to death in 1895, and
the winters of 1897 and 1899 were nearly as
bad.
IN 1908 occurred that lamouy winter call
ed, by distinction, the cold winter. All the
rivers and lakes were frozen, and even the
sea for several miles from the shore. The
ground was frozen nine feet deep. Birds
and beasts were struck dead in the fields
and men persisted by thousands in their
houses. In the south of France, the wine
plantations were almost all destroyed; nor
haze they yet recovered that fatal disaster
The Adriatio sea was frozen, and even the
Mediterranean about Genoa, and the oitron
and orange groves suffered extremely in the
finest parts Of Italy.
In ZIG the winter was so intense that
people travelled across the straits from Co
pennington to the province OF Scl,g, in Swe.
den.
In 1929, in Scotland, mutitudes of cattle
and sheep were buried in the snow.
In l74O the winter was scarcely inferior to
that of 1909. The Snow lay ten feet deep
in Spain and Portual. The Iuyder Zee was
frozen over, and thousands of people went
over it. And the lakes in England iroze.
In 1744 the winter was very cold. Snow
fell in Portugal to the depth of % feet on n
level
In 1854 and 1866 the winters were very
severe and cold. In England the strongest
ale, exposed to the air in n glass, was Gov.
cred in - minutes with ice one'eighth of an
| ihch thick.
In III the Elbe was frozen to the bottom.
In l776 the Danube bore ice five feet, be.
low Vienna. Vast numbers Of the feathered
and iinny.tribcs persisted.
| The winters of 1884 and 1875 were I'M.
commonly severe. The Little Belt was
| frozen over.
From 1900 to 1912 also, the winters were
remarkably cold, particularly the latter, in
Russia, which proved so disastrous TO the
French army,
