The latest proposition for the recon-
struction of the Supreme Court is one
that can scarcely fail to accomplish that
project of the radicals, and, as it appeals
to the natural love of rest. leisure and
ease of some men old enough to prefer
the cosey fireside to any place. Some
of these men are only kept from resign
ing by the salary they receive as judges,
and the plan of continuing their salaries
will Immediately bring about their re-
tirement.: Then there will be room for
several judges who look at the law from
the standpoint of The republican party.

WINTER WEATHER.

When stems of elms may rise in row,
Dark brown, form hillocks under snow,
And woods may feach ~ black a. night.
BY sloping fields Of cleanest white.
If shooters by the snowy rick,
Where trees are high, and wood is thick,
Can mark the tracks the game may prick.
The. like the winter weather.
Or where may spread the gaey blue sheet
Of ice, for skaters gliding feet,
That they uplift, from side to side,
Long yards, and hit them down to slide
Or sliders, one that totters slack
OF limb and one that's on his back;
And one upright that keeps bis track
Have fun in winter weather.
When we at night, in snow and gloom
May seek rome neighbor's lighted room,
Though snow may show no path before
The house, we still can find the door,
And there, as round the brands may spread
The creepit 6 ere, of cherry red.
Our feet from snow, from wind our head,
Are warm in winter weather.
Wherever day may give our road,
BY hills or hollows oversnow'd.
By windy gaps, or shelter'd nooks,
Or bridged ice Of frozen brooks,
Still may we all, as night may come.
Know where to find . peaceful home,
And glowing Ere for fingers numb
With cold, in winter weather.
