And many n bitter grief,

The Weather.

For two days past the weather has been
cloudy, dark and rainy, while the ground
has been covered with snow and ice, sleet
and slush.
The churches Sunday were bnt poorly
attended,; the weather was too bad. Yes
terday. under the urgency Of Christmas
shopping there were plenty OF people, men
and women and children, on the streets.
Umbrellas, gum-coats, and oyershoes made
them water and weatber-pr0Of. All the
same, the merchants complained, and not
without cause; because with such weather
the country people will not come into town
in great numbers, and Of tOwnspeope there
are many whose health and strength will
not permit them TO venture out with snch
threatening skies overhead and such wet
ness and slipperyness underfoot; hut better
and brighter days are coming, and we NAV
now soon have the best OF CHRISTMAS
weather, the bluest OF skies, the crispest OF
airs. TO pay us for this brief bad spell.
which. at least, removes from the land the
basis OF complaint OF drought.
