The Snow.

We will not say the "beautiful snow
but we are getting our share of it in the
"Sunny South as well as our neighbors
in the "inhospitable North" On Sunday
morning it fell in abundance and old
mother earth was covered in less than no
time, to the depth of several inches. On
Monday "Old Sol" showed his smiling
face, and the snow began to disappear,
creating perfect "slop" as it went. Yes
terday the clouds again gathered and a
cold north wind again brought the snow
flakes in great profusion. AS we write il
continues to fall without abatement

A Californian claims that the people of
his State are better looking than those
from other parts of the Union. Hear him:
This fact is most remarkable, with the
young people who have been born here.
Their ruddy cheeks are not scorched and
blistered by the ferocious August suns of
the Mississippi Valley; their full, round
limbs are not shriveled and shrunken by
the savage frosts of the northwestern win
ters, and they grow up in all the strength
and symmetry of nature unabridged.
There is probably no place on this CONT
nent where the proportion of pretty chill.

Address of the Holy Father to the Ameri
can Deputation.

The following is the excellent answer of the
Holy Father to the address of the American
Deputaten which was read to him by Mr.. Clio
YER of New York:
81 am greatly consoled by the kind express
sions which have just heard, the more that
they represent, not only the sentiments of the
circle here present but those of all American
Catholics; and in truth these protestations of
sincere affection and devotion render me great
b indebted to the nation that offers them.
feel myself under the obligations of gratitude
and of prayer for a country particularly bless
ed by God with fertility of soil and with pros
perity of industry, both sources of great
wealth; pray that God may increase all
these good things and render them fruitful,
bat also wish that they may not be the only
desire of those who possess them. North Amor
lea is the richest country on the earth, but
riches ought not to be her only treasure. In
in the gospel of this morning Jesus Christ says,
Where your treasure is there will be your heart
alse.' The American nation is one given to
commerce and merchandise of all description /;
go far, SO good for to all men it is ne cessary to
provide for the wants of this life, and to all
it is permitted to trade honestly in the things
that God has given. 1t just and proper also
that heads of families should educate and
maintain their children according to the ext
gences of their copdition oflife, but we must not
hSNe an overweenipg love of riches, we must
not attach ourselves too much to them, lest
we set our hearts on them, for this is reproved
by Jesus Christ. He too had His little purse,
and moreover the administrator of it-Judas-
and we know how this man finished from his
too great love of money. Then, there may be
possessions, and even great possessions, Int
We must not put our hearts in them. This is
the only reflection shall now make, pray ing
God to protect you and to give us all strength
and courage in all trials and difficulties. Here
we live on a volcano, here we have Govern
ment which is the crater of volcono, but God
is sufficient to save us. And now / give you
my benediction, that the faith you show forth
may ever increase, that those who come hitheI
may, if good, become better, if not, that they
may return enlightened and reformed. Re
ceive then the benediction which I give you
with my whole heart for yourselves, your FAM
lies, your affairs; but above all for the ter
minatiOu of your life that, following our true
end, you may attain to Paradise. and fitted
with the love Of Christ, praise aud bless Hin
for AL eteznitys- lellettSss "a.
