NEARER TO LlFRs WINTER.


Near to life's winter, wife,
We are drawing nearer,
Memories OF our blesaed spring
Growing dearsr, dearer.
Through the summer heats we've toiled,
Through the autumn weather
We have almost passed, sweet wife,
Hand In hand together.
Time was hearts were, well as feet,
Lighter, remember
April's locks Of gold are turned
Silver this November.
Flowers are fewer than at frat,
And the way grows clearer,
For unto life's winter, wife,
We are drawing nearer.
Nearer to life's end, sweet wife,
We are drawing nearer;
The last milestone on the way
To our sight groNs clearer
Some whose hands we held grew faint,
And lay down 10 slumber;
Looking backward, we to-day.
All their graves may number.
Heights we've sought we've failed to climb,
Fruits we've failed to gathers
But what matter since we've still
Jesus and each other1

To be showed up" on a railroad is
usually one of the most unpleasant Of
travelling experiences. There is one
corporation, however, which has found
a way to relieve such an occurrence of
its worst features. A train on the Buff
falo and Pittsburg Railroad was detained
in a snow-drift for eleven hours, at
deep cut six miles from Brocton, last
Friday. Hearing of the detention,
Daniel Williams, Esq, one of the direc-
tors of the road, went up with number
of sleighs and conveyed the passengers
to Brocton, where a sumptuous dinner
was served at the company's expense.
In the afternoon the passengers were
conveyed to the establishment of tie
Lake Shore Wine Company, where they
were shown through the works, and
afforded ample opportunity for testing
the quality of the article therein manu-
factured.

The Bankrupt LAVA MOOtsd Question

The Bankrupt LAVA Mooted Question.
There is said to be some difference Of
opinion among lawyers and Registers in
bankruptcy as to when the fifty cent
clause of the bankrupt law will 60 into
effect, and it is stated that the question
will probably be submitted to Judge
Chase for decision. The law appears
to be so plain as to admit of no doubt
The law did not go into operation until
the first of June, and we think until
June, 1868, proceedings can be com
menced without reference to the fifty
cent clause. Section 33 provides:
And in all proceedings in bankruptcy
commenced one year from the time this
act shall go into operation, no discharge
shall be granted to a debtor whose assets
do not pay fifty per centnm Of the claims
against his estate, unless the assent in
writing, of q majority in number and
value of his creditors who have proved
their claims is filed in the case at or be-
fore the time of application for dis
charge
