Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1880-03-17


before the bitter winds Of the present back
ward Spring. A year ago the trees were put
ing forth their tender buds, and the bills
we're showing tint # green. We had long
summer and it wound up in glorious autumn.
1t was high time for the winter to beg in when
the warm hreezes still dallied with the golden
leaves of the forests, and the skies glowed
with the tints of the rose. The wild flowers
fingered in the valleys and the haz+ Of the
Indian summer hung along the horiz N and
yelled the landscape in warm and yellow
mist, at time when our Eastern neighbors
were crowding abont their fires None of us
| banked Providence for these lavish favors;
we thought we had right to all the splendid
weather We could enjoy and went right ahead
| with the gaities of life, never for moment
| questioning but that the delights of autamn
had always been thus prolonged. No" comes
the retribution in the form of accommodating
SHOWS, the ceaseless sweep of bitter winds
which chill the bone and marrow, lowering
skies full of tempestuous menace, bills from
coal dealer and the wood man falling Ia thick
and fast, rheumatism and colds, pneumonia
booms and the devil to pay generally. We
have no right to growl at these things; one
who is not thankful for good weather must
not curse the foul 1t is but the regular law
of recompense which is universal. He no
presses the lips and waist OF the maid nntll
the small hours of the morning must delay his
rising until almost noon to get even, yc
who have been there know. We cannot drink
champaign or beer, and stuff our stomachs
with switzercase until o'clock in the morn
ing without losing portion of the day. Every
pleasure in life Except running a newspaper)
has its counterpart III depression and pains
mental and physical. The boy who eats too
much molasses candy pays for it in revou-
ton which turns the paradise of the eating
into a state wherein the devils of rebelious
stomach make his life he'll for the time being
We stray from the beaten path of the subjec;
i'll an aimless, vagabondish sort of way which
Farmer Treadway would pronounce ''shift-
less bat the fact remains that when we bask
in the sunshine Of delayed autumn, we must
expect to vince beneath the scourge Of back
ward spring.
