And after that. he took-his leavel

so many joyous OCCASIONS for merry meetings.
But winter, Notwithstanding Its chilly atmos-

rate most OF them, arecuriously dependent upon an
excessive severity for their very existence. Funny

The sunny, bright days OF the fall carried the people
through an exciting political contest, which en-

relaxation from mental and physical exertion. Trade
has been fair, though by no means unusually brisk,

fortunate position In society more than when. CON-
fortably seated behind "two-forty horse on cold
winters day. when the bitter wind twits the nose Of
poverty and turns to blue the proboscs OF the bac
