Winter is the coolest season Of the year, be-
cause it comes in the winter mostly. In some
countries winter comes in the summer, and
then it is very pleasant. ! wish winter came
in summer in this country, which is the best
government the sun ever sh1ue upon. Then
we could 20 skating barefoot. and slide down
hin in linen trovsers. We could SNOWFALL
without getting our fingers cold-and men
who 20 sleigh riding wouldn't have to stop az
every tavern to warm, as they do now. Ii

Tama County Republican. (Toledo, Tama County, Iowa) 1867-1872, 1868-09-18
4 9ensibls rsthsY.

A wealthy gentleman OF Boston,
several years ago, gave the editor Of
the w orcester Pallad,am short nara.
tion OF his own experience. He had
an income Of $4,000 q year Ia large
sum Then, but not considered so nowl,
house IN town, and country scat =
few miles out. He had several child
ren--a coach, fine horses and 4 driver:
and took pleasure in riding every day
with his children.
One day when riding the thought
struck him that each one OF his ch.id-
rem would expect to have fine hoase,
and coach, and horses, and driver as
their father had before them, and to
live as he lived and if they did not
they would be unhappy, He did not
think that all Of them could have
things as he had them, or live as he
was living; and he rode home; sent
his horses to market and sold them
bought a cheap carryall and became
his own driver.
With emphasis he declared that no
amount OF wealth could induce him to
return to his former mode of living,
for if any Of his children should hap
pen to be poor, as in all probability
some ofthem would be, they should
not snffer in their feelings by the re-
Election that their father rode in his
coach while they had to rough it on
root. The example he gave them at
forded him satisfaction greater than
his wealth had to bestow.
