A HARD WINTER COMING.

sWord and Work, has the follow
ing forecast of the coming Winter and
Spring:
The many importunate appeals that
have come to us. seeking for our views
on the coming winter and spring, are
enough to bleed any veins of every
drop of quack or charlatan blood that
may be in them. Realizing how fully |
the welfare of man and beast is bound
up in tho character of our season, and
how much their Inconvenience and
rigor may be mitigated by fore
knowledge of their intensity, We dare
not undertake to write this article with
out probing our inmost heart and
motive, and profound prayer to Him
who rules the Universe, to aid US In
what We believe to be the approximate
" correct Interpretation of NATURES
laws. II sincere desire to be correct
| in our conclusions, and an answering
faith in the correctness of the method
by which we reach them, count any
thing, God knows we are prepared, in
part at least, to give our opinion.
After carefully summingup the causes
as we see them, we are convinced that
very hard, stormy weather will begin
before, or by, the middle of November.
The Venus equinox being central on
the goth, will dominate the weather.
throwing her characteristic extremes
into storm and temperature-for at
least half of November and December
Then the December Solstice storms
} will be due, with q Mercury equinox
falling right into their crisis, December
22nd. After this, while there are nj
: unusual causes present in January, it il
a we'll known proverb that,
"When the days begin to lenthen
Then the cold begins to strengthen,
so that il is always safe to count OF
winter in earnest in January. Tn
whole of February will be under tn
influence of Mars equinox, centra
. ON the 28th. 1t will also dominate til
month of March, and blend with til
10 equinox OF both Earth and Venus a.
through the latter month. At the YER
center of the March equinox Venu
. and Mercury are at their centers, wit
: Mars holding his grip from Februar
' 2Sth. These facts justify the belief th'
- March will prove very hard montl

with many storms of rain, sleet an
snow, sandwiched between, with Vonl
- thunder and hail, and an occasion
tornado. If there, then, be causes
expect the beginning of hard wealth
in November, and that March will pr
long 1t at the last, we may reasonab
Gu say that we expect upon the whole
o. hard winter. If it be true-and the
10 is reason to believe it-that the oppo

all this we do not intend to sound a
sensational alarm, and the man who
