The snOw-Not The Beautiful Snow"

The snow-Eot The Beautiful Snow.
Lightly and merrily.
swiftly and steadily.
Down comes the snow shower all the day long,
Bright eyes have looked for IL,
Young hearts have sighed for IL,
Vow il Is welcomed with laughter and song.
Earnestly watching IT,
Eagerly catching II,
Fair little faces and hands reach forth;
Child and youth can be
In the white mystery.
Radiant visions Of frolic and mirth-
Traversing fields Of space.
Running joyous race.
Beautiful fake after fake fiuttering down;
Each one perfect flower,
Nurtured In starry bower.
Zach like gem from an angels bright crown.
Whittier and whittier SIN
Grows every roof and still
Whittier the domes late so grim and brown.
Strange Is the spectacle,
Changed as by miracle,
Into fairy land seems all the town.
Lol upon the leaaess trees,
Waved by winfry breeze.
Phantoms Of summers dead garlands appear.
Twining and elinging there,
Placidly smiling here,
Waking son dreams of a season more dear.
Now, at the twilight hour,
Ceases the snowy shower,
Listen! already the tuneful bells chime
Soon viii the rich and gay
Speed on their merry way.
Thankful and glad for the carnival time.
But as the night comes down
Cold over all the town.
Many heart sinks with terror and voc:
Many a heavy sigh,
Many q fearful eye,
sireets the chill prospect OF darkness and snow.
Ye who in happy homes
Smile when the snow shower comes
Think of the sad ones who weep at its fall,
Think. think how pitiful,
An object so beautiful,
Should, like a spectre, the needy appal.
Pray for these hapless ones:
Give 10 these suffering ones:
Dry the sad tear drops that freeze as they flow.
Mercy and charity
Smooth LIES disparity;
Warm poor hearts chilled by winter and snow.

THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY.-Li-
brarian A. r. SpOford, in his annual re-
port on the condition of the Congressional
Library, calls the attention of Congress to
the fact that there are over 10000 vol
umes piled up in narrow spaces on the
floor, owing to the want of suitable shelf
room. For five or six years now these
reports have been burdened with similar
complaints. The number of books in the
library is 33l ,11S volumes, and there are
about 10000 pamphlets. About 10000
volumes of the books belong to the law
department of the library. In response
to the resolutions of March, 1876, recon-
mending counties and towns to prepare
and forward historical addresses to the
library, 225 histories have been received
and carefully filed.

The Dominion Parliament was opened
by the Governor General on the Sth inst.
In his speech the Governor General, re-
ferring to the award made by the Fisher
les Commission of FIVE and half millions
to Canada, said the amount was much less
than that claimed by the Government, but
having assented to the creation of tribu-
nal for the determination of the value Of
the claims, they were bound legally to as
sent to the decision given. Referring to
Sitting Bull and his band, he expressed
the hope that arrangements may yet be
made which will lead to their permanent
peaceful settlement in the United States,
'and thus relieve Canada of a source of
uneasiness and heavy expenditure to her
treasury"

A new industry has been started in
Mansfield, Mass. 1t is no less than the
manufacture of jewelry out of sour milk
This seems a strange anomaly but it is a
fact. The milk comes in the shape OF
curd from butter aud cheese-making coun.
ties in New York, and looks upon its arri.
val great deal like popped corn; but be-
fore it leaves their shop it undergoes a
wonderful change and receives the name
of American coral. The secret in making
it is carefully guarded; but it is certain
that it has to be heated very hot, during
which coloring matter is introduced, fol
lowed by very heavy pressure. Some ol
it is colored black and called jet, while
some appears as celluloid. 1t makes very
handsome jewelry, and is made into al
kinds and styles known to trade.

THE LINE We EAT-Dr. Wilkes, in
his recent work on Physiology remarks
that, "It is estimated that the bones Of
every adult person require to be fed with
lime enough to make a marble mantle
every eight months" 1t will be per-
ceived, therefore, that in the course OF
about ten years each of us eats about
three or four mantle-pieces and few sets
of front door steps. And in a long life !
suppose it is fair to estimate that healthy
American could devour the Capitol at
Washington, and perhaps two or three
medium-sized quarries besides. Il is aw.
ful to think of the consequences if man
should be shut off from his supply of lime
for awhile and then should get loose in a
cemetery. An ordinary tombstone would
hardly be enough for lunch for him.

FIGHT BETWEEN SNAKE AND A
HENHAwK-Thc Easton, Md, Gazette
is responsible for the following capital
snake story: On Tuesday, January %
the weather was mild and bright and the
sun appeared to have withdrawn from a
summer day and planted itself in the
midst of January. This being the case a
tremendous snake known as the "Cow.
Sucker" came from its hiding place on
the farm of Mr.. Edward Woodall, neal
Royal Oak, and no doubt was basking in
the sunshine, when a huge henhawk es.
pied him and thinking it a rare chance
for hearty meal she would demolish Mr.
Snake at single swoop. But Mr.. Snake
was not to be trifed with thusly. The
hawk went for her prey, when the snake
embraced her with death like grip. The
hawk tapped and squeaked, but the snake
held her fast until man in Mr.. Wood
all's employ was attracted by the noise
The hawk was held fast until killed, and
of course the snake afterwards shared q
like fate, as it appears to be the duty ot
every one to kill a snake when in reach.
