Gothauites are enjoying the first OF the Tefnal

flowers visible arc those raised In hot-houscs,
and axposed for sale in Broadway windows or
offered to tho passing public from waysloe
baskets bv girls With blue-cold lips and FROST
hitten noses, Instead Of hearing birds singing !
in the parks and squares, the poor Little spar
rows are perishing from the severity OF the |
season, and dropping dead from tie barren ana
blasted trees.' The streets arc almost lmpnssa-

TILE INITIAL MONTH OF SPRING!
What freezing irony! II this be spring, what
is winter? Where is the sense or fitness IN
calling March 7ernal? It should DO bauished
from spring, and bound to tho winter. AS it ls
now, the almanac il made to falsify evory year
There never was in thus latitude,
mild or pleasant, or even an endurable,
March; nor is there over likely to DO"
March should be expelled from the calendar
it is worse than useless; it does no good, ana
much har1n. Perhaps, If it were turned out Tor
ill-behayior, and kept out long enough, 1t would
improve, and finally become proper 'o a'saoclaso
with the oseasons again. When not taking sdes "1tn
winter, its conduct is exceedingly discreditable,
It acts IS badly az it can,-knockinG OIL the hats
Of esteemed citizens; tearing awnings; throw
ing dust ir cverybodys eyes; and deranging
feminine drapory in the most unwarrantable
manner.
It is annoying, repulsiye, audacious, hcentious.
