Severe Winters.

Very cold winters have their adj
vantages, which are not always con-
Sidered by those who are most sensi-
bic of their hardships. The seyereties
and calamities brought by a cold
snap when the mercury goes down to
zero all understand. For many peo.
pie cold snap is like an epidemic.
The well-tO-dO, who have warm
houses, warm clothing, warm beds,
rich and nourishing food, do not un.
derstand what suffering a cold snap
brings to those whose houses are ill.,
built, whose hearths are fireieSs,
whose clothing is insu fiicient, who
sleep under scanty covering and
awake gnaWed with hunger. Those
who in good weather barely keep
alive, perish when the extreme Wea
ther comes. The weekly health re-
ports show an increased mortality
following on a cold spell, just AS they
do in psstilence. Severe cold is,
indeed, the deadliest of evils. Deaths
do not follow Immediately, hut the
death-blow is given, and the sufferer
may only linger on for few weeks.
But while severe weather is de-
structtve Of human life, it is also de-
structive of many of the enemies of
life. The germs of many diseases
linger through mild winters to begin
anew their work in the early sum-

and mercury low down in the ther-

and make the following summer

in the thought that cold snap is
preseryer as well as a destroyer of
human life. Severe winters, while
they sometimes injure food supplies,

PROPHECY OF zACHARIAs.
GENERAL STATEMENT.

The hour toretold by the angel in the tenn
pie has come, and the aged Elisabeth presses
her child to her bosom, while her friends
present their congratulations to her as a
mother in Israel, During months of waiting
Zacharias has sat in silence, unable to speak
or hear, as the penalty of doubling the an
gels word, but when the infant receives its
name. John, the gift of God" the lost power
returns, and with unloosed tongue the father
gives thanks to God. Around the hills Of
Judah the glad news Is borne. and Won
drous future is expected from this child of
prophecy. The inspiration which has rested
upon Mary and Elizabeth seizes Zacharias in
turn, ana he. too. pours out strain of eXul-
tant song His Joy over his OWL child is for
gotten IN the thought Of the conllbg A}lae pr
whom that child is the destined herald and
forerunncr. Ovsrborne by the divine power
he pictures the redemption which is to lift up
Gods Israelfrom the dust, in glowing SEN
tences whose fuincss of nieaiiinS he did not
himself comprehend, and whose complete
fuliillment is reserved to the day whei1 the
Kingdoms of this world shall bow before the
scepter OF Christ Jesus.

The Rising Hope of a More Perfect
Union.

AT recent dinner of the New
England Society Of the city of New
York, Gen. Joseph r. Hawley made
the following remarks on this topic

heard of this toast assigned to myself
with this most apt quotation from
the divine Shakespeare. ! wish

an hour in which to speak, for it
takes time to make a short speech
or to prepare on. 1t is serious sub
Ject, and there are none in this land
who join more heartily in the sem
timeet expressed by your chairman
than the two great soldiers at this
table who have done most in the
great war. | would rather my speech

them that throughout all this great

and belief, nor has there ever been "a
man who wished them i'll. Zap

the people of the North to get mad
in the war. They were like great
brother holding younger and un-
ruly brother who persisted in dis.
turbing the household. | am not of |
those who are impatient at the re-
suits of that war. | believe that
there was never civil strife that |
subsidized so quickly, that gave less of
evil results within fifteen years of
its conclusion, and history will find !
an easy explanation, if not apology,
for them. Slavery is gone from us
forever, thank God OF course it is |
gone; but we must remember that /
the character slavery was 200 years
in building is yet with us that from
their very cradles the children were
accustomed to crack the whip over |
the children about them that they
grew up with a spirit of domination;
that they grew uD with the belief
that one class of men were made by
the Almighty to rule another; that |
they grew up with the natural be-
lief that they were the predestined |
rulers of the republic. ALI this re.
mains with them, and is the founda-
ton Of their political movements.
You cannot expect that people ed |
ucated by slavery for 200 years shall
adopt the doctrines of equality and
justice and far play to all men that
we have been taught in New Eng |
land. | dream of the great future.

REMOVING THE PRESIDENT

The removal OF the President from
Washington seems to be his one chance
Of recovery. The responsibility Of the
step is accepted by his family and ply
s~icians, and the attempt will probably
be made today.
The arrangements for the removal
will be Of the most complete and can-
tious character. Yet il IS undoubtedly
q risky movement. There has been no
time since the prostration OF the Presi.
dent when he has been in a less fsvora-
bic condition to undertake the journey
than now, excepting only, perhaps, the
few days after the shooting and before
he had rallied from the shock. But to
remain within the influence Of the NAL
aria from the swsmpy shores OF the
Potomac would he almost certain death.
There is a chance Of life in q change TO
the seasaore if the iourney can be made
without material disturbance to his sys-
tenn.
We will hope for the best. 1t may
prove to be the one thing necessary to
start him on the road to rapid recovery.
We are disposed to take a cheerful view
Of his chances, but all thinking people
cannot hide from their consciousness
that there are grave dangers to he net
and overcome in this removal. They
cannot do less than regard it as q grave
undertaking to attempt 10 transport a
patient 200 miles by rail in his present
PROSTATE condition, with pulse bound
ing at 100 to rs; with a CHASTITY wound
unhesied twelve inches deep, and 4 raz.
gei edged bullet migrating about vitnl
parts in the cavity OF the body.
Though there may be no juring to the
body in the journey, it must of necessity
he attended with considerable excite
ment to a man in his condition, and we
may well conclude that the intel!i-
gent surgeons are constrained to look
upon the move as 3 matter Of life or
death in consenting to make the at
tempt. The whole country will await
the result with anxiety and painful sus-
perse.

THE DROUGHT AND THE CROPS.

The late crops have unquestionably
suffered much from the drought, but the
extent OF the damage is doubtless exas.
gersted.
In our own State the corn, potato and
buckwheat crops will be very material
ly curtailed. Our wheat, oats and hay
crops were good. Unless the dry wealth
er should continue until the Fall grass
is destroyed We will be able to get
through the winter, at least, without
suffering. The rain has been falling in
spots for the past few days, and if the
copious showers shall soon become gen.
eral, much Of the short pasture will
spring up and relieve farmers from the
necessity Of drawing on their grain be-
fore the winter season.
In some other STATES the situation is
less propitious. The Richmond Dispatch
gives the following account Of the con-
dition in that State and elsewhere:
