Mild winters.

The mildness of the present season,
both here and in Europe, has induced
some of the book-worms to look up
precedents. The result is that so far,
at least, as Europe is concerned, for we
have not the same records here to fall
back upon, the present bears no com
parison to some of the winters long
gone by. In 1172 the temperature was
so high in England that leaves came
out on the trees in January In 1889
the winter was equally mild, and the
maidens of Cologne wore wreaths of
violets and corn flowers at Christmas
and Twelfth Day. In 1421 the trees
lowered in the month of March, and
the vines in the month of April Cher
ries ripened in the same month, and
grapes appeared in May In 1872 the
trees were covered with leaves in Jan
usry, and the birds hatched their young
in February, as in l172; in 1885 the
same thing was repeated, and it is ad
ded that the corn was in the ear at Eas.

EIf cares are not irritating-ifthey
are small, like gravel in machinery, a
person may be patient and cast off care
Soon comes time when he says, "The
matter is up. I've reached q plane
where patience is no longer virtue"
He has reached a point that hits him
he has come to point that really touch
es him. He says: "These are very pc
culiar circumstances you can't expec,
a man always to be saintv' There
at the points where you could fail, cas-,
your care on God. A true Christian
experience associates every part ol
our nature with God. 1t is to have
every faculty lean on God.-Beechsr.
