Mr.. Bailey, of Danbury, Oh Ice Men
and C8aI.dealers

And now there is to be Ice. How earnestly and
vigorously have the ice men and cOal-dealers
prayed for this ''snap," and how long it has
been in coming. You could tell either one of
these worthless wherever you might meet him.
Such intense gloom on the human face divine
could indicate but one train of thou ght, but one
aspiration, but one great sorrow, and AL these
CoD<l be entertained by bat one class of people
and they either interested in coal or ice. We
Will never know, perhaps, the depth of despair
into which these people have been plunged by
this caprlciOus winter, but the annals of our
asylums Tor the insane will furnish some clue.
One of them wrote us Thursday asking il we
believed in the existence of a Supreme Being
frost 10 assure us personally that he had no
doubt OF lt. Another sought by many we'll
known artitces to tempt zero TO "hump" Itself
such as lie aving new pail full of water on the
stoop, neglectlng to shut Off the pipe water at
night, emitting TO renew the coal in the stove
before DING to bed, or to put his stockings un-
der the pillow 10 keep them warm, leaving off
ms nan ne ls, and dong or lea wing undone other
lhlngs OF like nature. As a last resort he an
peared the other day in suit of linen clothes
with straw hat on his head, and a palm-leaf in
ms hand. But the "snsp" is here at last, catch
ing the pond and the impoy by the throat
with an ugly grip. The ice man is satisfied. III 3
would be in his element were it not frozen up
so tightly, but he is elated; and coming out
from the gloom which has engulfed him like
Jog, he sees that it has been hard winter, and
while he turns back handsprings out of graft
fude 20 heaven for his deiverance, thinks of the
poor and hopes friends will be raised up for
them. And now the poor sgoop down on the
coal dealer for a donation from his stock
knowing that the coal which pinches their souls
but enlarges his pockets; but none are so poor
as TO swoop down on the ice dealer for his dona-
