1T seems as u TIE. .unhhppfest sen
son Of the varied year has come at
last, in all its magnifcence of cold
purity aud pitilessness. The time
when human life with its wealth of
Joys and luxuries and human life with
multitudes of pains and miseries are
brought like two pic.ures into the
clear impartial light re flccted from ice
aud snow as an awful contrast in com
parisnn with which death aud life APP
pear as twins. There are II, joys more
gay than winters; there are no fetes
and festivals half so spendid with
wealth and beauty. There are no snf-
ferings SO terrible as winters; no mis-
cries half so full of anguish and vain
prayers. In summer the light and the
warmth and the wild food on the hill
sides, and at night the bel Of huwer
decked moss, is for the poor, and they
envy not the wealthy in palaces or on
siIken shected down. But winter That has
come, alas it breeds theft end cruelty
and murder, done for she sake of life.
Then let us cease praying for the
good old fashioned wiuter aud hope
for an early spring. .i4i..e
AS dense throngs of eager human.
ity, homeless and houseless, driven
ruthlessly from Oil City and Tylers-
burg. rush through our street in search
of shelter, we deem it humane duty
to point them to the two story frame
building just over the bridge, as you
enter the town by German avenue.
1t, is wrong to allow 50 roomy = struc-
ture to pass its life uselessly. It was
formerly the grocery and hardware
depot of Fisher. For some years it
has been out of use and repair, but it
is still sound enough for u good many
purposes. A boy here remarks that
"it would maks,a good school house.
if the present one should be blown
; over, or should fall to pieces" Ii
might do to bold elections in. AT
present il is useless ornament and
we thunght perhapsit it would lie chari'
ty to point it out to those Of a theught'
ful mind looking for vacant architec.
ture. =

years of observation "1n cold wealth
