But to come back to the subject,
Winter is upon us, and will stick to
US like a whole family of poor rela-

The almanac says three months,
and that spring ought to come in

But twon't do to take it for Gran

Winter has a bad habit for an old
chap like him, oflingering in the Ia p
of Spring, which Spring ought to be
ashamed Of herself to allow. .i. j.
Now Winter is here We have got
to make the best oft. ss#a
The worst of it is that it costs so
much to make the best Of it, and as
some people can't afford it they get
the worst Of it. ....e.
Those who can afford it should
give away all they can't spend to
the poor.
It is more blessed to give than to
receive. @
