| WASHINGTON, February q, 1876.
| DEAR NEws:-This pleasant day has reminded
me of many like it, spent in your pleasant town,
later in the Spring. Indet d, we have had little
cold weather here, that it seems unlike Winter al
all to one accustomed to the long-continued, Sc
we're seasons of the North. A week ago l saw
large bed of CAV crocuses in full bloom, and the
grass is as green III the Slrng-time, around the
trees in the Streets and wherever it has the sun
shine The mild Winter is in many respects a
blessing to the poor who find it very hard to Sc
cure sufficient food and fuel in severe Winters.
Still there is much want and suffering here, as in
all large cities aud the contrast between the luxury
of the rich and the misery of the poyery-stricken
is extremely painful to see AMI to remember.
\ poor woman, wig svss cleaning newly
finished and very handsome house, stopped me.
and asked in a half-ashamed way, for some assist
ance, saying thai, though she worked hard, she
could not provide food and clothes for herself and
her children adding: az q widow, and some
times think Cod has forgotten me, when we have
nothing to eat and very little to wear l could
hardly answer her, except to say: Il can not
wander that you feel so, when you see these ele-
gauy dressed ladies, riding in luxurious carriages
and living al ease i'll these costly houses, while so
many anxious mothers can scarcely get even their
daily bread. But take courage; help seldom fails
to come, and He will not forget you" The SYM
patby seemed to be as much comfort +, her as the
triliuc aid il was in Clv power to b ow.
