For several days pas. the weather has
been such as We have often been accus-
toned to read about IS prevailing in some
far distant places, away out West or up
North, or over in Jersey or some other
far distant place, but we have not been
in the habit Of having such terrible wealth
er here as We arc having now. The
mercury seems to have got down so low
in tho Thermometer that it has become
bewildercd, and cannot find its way back
Everybody and everything is shivcring
with the cold. aud the eorst Of i, is there
seems to be no - let up" For more than
week this cold weather has continued
and to cap the climax the furious snow
storm ttst sct in on Christmas night has
blocked up the highways and made travel
a serious matter to pedestrians. We don't
believe that that incorrigible old curmud-
geon the =" Oldest inhabi,ant" can recol.
lect any spell Of weather tina. will take
down this. Even the remembrance Of
tho blood boiling heat Of last Summer,
cannot reconcile US to this bitter, freezing
cold, but all things must have an end,
and so will this. God help the poor
who have no shelter from this fierce wealth.

in that war.like country. In fearful anti
cipatious Of what the future may bring
upon them. What the New Year has in
store for those unhappy people. God above
knows. but that the people Of LA Grand
Nation" are eager to wipe out the burning
disgrace Of their terrible and humilatine
defeat st the hands Of the people upon
whose Decks they so often set their feet
under the leadership Of the Great En-
peror" is patent to all observers, and
war with Prussia at no very distan. day
is morally certain.
Europe appears to be in anticipation Of
q terrible war. Prom all sections and
countries We hear Of the reorganization of
armies, and the placing Of troops on
war footing, as though some fearful and
dreadful struggle for the mastery was ex-
pectcd among the nations Of the continent
Immense losses Of life and property
have occurred during the year that is past
Steamships, freigh,sd with human lives,
have been burned at sea. suddenly con-
signing their precious burdens to watery
grave. A great city. which in her wealth
and pride felt secure from danger. fell a
victim to Gre, and had no power to stay
the course Of the all -devouring element,
but when her calamity came she was pow
erlcss to withstand her fate. Terrible was
the scourgc, but. being free, she is rapid
ly recovering from her destruction, and
her future is bright and prosperous, while
her twin sister Of the South. under the
malignant rule of ignorance and vice en-
tailed upon her from the North, still grow
els in the dust and cannot arise, but the
blackcned and crumbled ruins Of Charles
ton still remain as they were left by the
war. Will the best government the
world ever saw" put forth its power to
rec,ify this evil and correct this terrible
abuse ere another year shall have complet-
ed its circuit?
Upon many who began the year 1872
with bright antieipa.ions and hopes Of long
life disease and death have laid their blight
ing hand. and the places ,ha, knew them
then. shall know them no more forever.
But amid all the sorrows aud dsnppoint-
msnts Of the past year is there nothing for
which We have reason to be thankful to
the Great Dispenser Of human events :?
How many Of us during the past year have
been prostrnted upon beds Of languishing
and pain, from which recovery seemed
doubtful, bat from which we have been
permitted to arise entirely restored to
health and strength. Were VIC bu, to
weigh our disappoin,mcn,s and troubles
with our blessings and comforts we should
find that the weight and number Of the
former we're far inferior to the latter.
Let Us then take a cheerful view Of thu
past, and taking warning from the lessons
the year taught US, shun the shoals and
quicksands which endangered our pro-
gress, and pursuing more cautious and
safer course, press on to the goal Of our
ambitions; and perhaps /, will delight u,
hereafter to remember the scenes in which
we we're actors in 1872
Look not mournfully into the past. i,
