WINTER.

The ground-hog shivering in the cold,
Now seeks his cosy winter lair;
No more the music of the bull
Frogs heard upon the evening air.
The sleigh-bell jinslcs on the lea,
The chilblain blooms upon ones toes,
While sparkling in the run the j.
Cicle hangs upon the travellers nose.
Hail, rosy winter, thrice all hail,
With concerts, balls and Op'ra buff,
Bestow thy luXuries on all,
Till satisfied we cry Enough"

The Landing OF the Pilgrim Fathers in
New ..s.. land.

4NN" A-ssa kNnO.
The breaking waves dashed high
On a stern and rock k-bOund coast,
and the woods against stormy sky
Their giant branches tossed;
And the heavy night hung dark
The hills and waters DER,
When band of exiles moorcd their bark
On the wild New England shore
Not az the cOnqucrOr comes,
They, the true-hcartcd, came;
Not with the roll of the stirring drums,
And tic trumpet that sings of fame;
Not IA the flying come.
III silence and in tear;-
They shook the depths Ot the desert gloom
With their hymns of lofty cheer.
Amidst the storm they sang
And the stars heard, and the sea-
And the sounding aisles of the dim woods rang
TO the anthem of the free.
The ocean eagle soard
From his nest by the white waves foam:
And the rocking pines of the forest roared-
Wis was their welcome home.
There were men with hoary hair
Amidst that pilgrim band;-
Why had they come to wither there,
Away from their chdhOod's land:
There was " oman's fearless eye,
Lit by her deep loves truth;
There manhood's brow, serenely high,
AID the fiery heart of youth.
What sought they thus afar ?
Bright jewels of the mine?
The wealth of seas, the spoils Of war;
They sought faiths pure shrine!
Ay call it holy ground,
The soil where first they trode.
They have left unstained what there they found
Freedom to worship God.

WE take great pleasure in calling the atten-
ton of our readers, and especially those intend
ing to visit the Centennial Exposition in Phil
adelphla, to the card of Congress Hall, the lat
est addition to the hotels of that city, and
without doubt one of the very best. Our
friends who have been on there. speak of it in
the highest terms, as combining the essentials
of good solid comfort, such as the tired travel
Ter needs, combined with plainness and sim
plicity, enabling the proprietors to place their
accommodations within the reach of all. Built
of brick ON high ground with the most perfect
system of ventilation we have ever seer. it GER
tainly possesses advantages that need only be
seen to be appreciated. The most polite and
courteous attention to the wants of the guests
is shown by the proprietors and employees. We
advise our readers visiting the Exhibition to
try Congress Hall, feeling assured that with
the low prices charged for accommodations,
(both lodging and restaurant), they never
will regret it.

CHlLDREN's SUNDAY.-Yesterday was OBJ
served as Children's Sunday at the Congress
Square church. Only one service was held,
that being in the morning, when the church
was. thronged with people. The children of
the Sunday School occupied seats in front and
were dressed very PRETTY. The floral display,
although not profuse, was very appropriate. A
large cross composed of choice exotics was
placed above the pulpit, while an arch of ever
green formed the ground work for the inscrip-
ton, "God is Love-" the letters forming the
same being brought forward by the children,
each of them repeating passage of scripture
in the meanwhile. Banners bearing the in
scriptions GOD our Father and 'Christ our
Saviour" were also brought forward by two lit
tie boys, each of them delivering appropriate
remarks at the same time. The singing was
furnished by the church choir and by the
school. Mrs. Merrill sang with fine effect the
solo Consider the Lilies The exercises
which were very interesting, closed with the
christening of four children by the pastor, Rev.
W. E. Gibbs.

WoMEN's TEMPERANCE SocIETY.-The men,
bers of this organization take this occasion to
make their acknowledgements to the public for
the encouragement of their enterprise of the
Fourth of July, and especially to individuals
who cordially loaned or gave for the tables and
other service such favors as were solicited; al
SO to the officers of the City Building and the
publishers of the daily papers. The result in
dictated general appreciation of the character
and purpose of the society, and is happy
omen of the favor with which the public views
its chosen work. To this foundational prin.
ciple of good order, of public and private vir-
tue, we are dedicated, and good providence
has smiled upon us. Hoping to establish in
September permanent coffee house which
shall prove stronghold and vantage ground
in temperance work, we invite every friend of
the cause to take personal interest in it, to
multiply our resources with moral support and
pecuniary favors.
