The snow Pail.

The snow had begun Ia the cleaning,
And busily all the night
Had been heaping field and highway
With . silenoe deep and white.
Every pine and FIR and hemlock
Wore ermine too dear for an earl,
And the poorest twig on the elm tree
Was ridged inch deep with pearl.
From sheds n~ew.roofed with CarrarA
Came Chauticleer's mufled crow;
The stiff rails were softened TO swan
down
And still fiuttered down the snow.
/ stood and watched by the window
The noiseless work OF the sky,
And the sudden furiies Of snowbirds,
Like brown leaves whirling by.
I thought Of q mound In sweet Auburn,
Where IL little headstone stood;
How the fl axes were folding 1t gently,
As did robins the babes in the wood.
Up spoke our own little Mabel,
Saying: Father, who makes 1t snow?"
And l told Of the good All father
Who cares for US hire below.
Again l looked at the snowfall,
And thought Of the laden sky
That arched Ger our first great sorrow,
When that mound was hesped 80 high.
l remembered the gradual patience
That fell from that cloud like snow,
Flake by fake, healing and hiding
The scar Of our ~deep-plunged woe.
And again to the child I whispered:
''The snow that husheth all,
Darling, the mercitul Father
Alone can ma Q 1t fall.
Then, with eyes that saw not, I kissed her
And she, kissing back, could not know
That my kiss wa, given to her sister,
Folded close under despened snow.

THE COLoRED Ex-CuNrrDERATE.-
The MANNED figure OF II cOlorcd man,
holding open the Capitol Square gate
ON Bank and Eleventh streets. has long
been familiar sight to citizens. The
poor fellow stands on two stumps,
each leg having been chopped of just
above the knee. That colorcu gate
holder has had an Interesting history,
tho facts in which were brought ont
some years ago, when q dy>peptic
made objection to the cripplc'S stand
ing at the gate. 1t seems that during
the war the man, who was then quite
young, was taken out to work on the
fortifications near the city. Il shell
tore away both legs. After the war
hc posted himself at The Capitol Suuarc
gate, and this has been his post for
many years. lie opens the gate for
pedestrians, and takes whatever they
will give him. Some years ago, when
a commutation Of thirty dollars was
paid to the wounded cX-Conictcmtc
soldiers Of Virginia, some persons in
tcrcstcd themselves in the gatc-holdcr,
and he received his thirty dollars. AS
soon rs he obtained tho money he
Vacated his post, bought a ticket for
Norfolk and nthcr cities, and made u
tour of the country, living as long as
! his money held out like prince.
When the cash was exhausted he
stumpcd his way back to his Old post, ,
where ho remained taking pennies
until few days ago, when he received
second instalmcnt Of communication
money, this time amounting to sixty
dollars. lie at once started on another
tour, and there can be no doubt that
the poor fellow will have glorious
| timC. State.
