that is known and said about women, they

Of beauty, s.nd the great privilege Of dfeas.
Hence they arc grcater .G7atifcation to tho

winter has been 50 tremendous that hundreds
: Of persons havo persisted Of cold in the large
cities. In Poland the eszth split open under
the duress OF tho frost, huge chlnks suddenly

fesent times, tho cold has been intense the

woman, and her son Of s years, had for sonae
time been living lone; but recently, for seF-
czal days, tue child waa seen playing about,
near tho house, with no sign OF his mother.
Some Of the neighhors inquired OF the child
whether he had had plenty Of food during the
week, and be replied that III he had had was
what vas left in tie cupboard, and that there
was plenty still remaining there. Upon miss
ing the childe mother, one OF the neighbors
inquired how she WAS and whittier ehc had
gone. Tha little chta.s11, with great simplicity,
replied, "MammA is lying in bed, aud abe viii
NOT speak to me, and she Il so cold, Like lump
Of ice, when lay in bed Hith he1." The same
person said, .'re1haps ahe Is dead" when the
boy replied, !" l think 60 too, for she is &C
cold, and can't get her to speak at all" TAe
unfortunate creature lying stiG and coldiu bed,
where ehe had been dead for two Or three DAYS,
and the poor child had been lying by her side
In bed during that time.
