lie whistles his chills with a wonderful
knack,
For he comes from cold countree.
"A witty old fellow this Winter is
A mighty old fellow for glee!
He cracks his jokes on the pretty, sweet
miss,
The wrinkled old maiden, unfit to kiss,
And freezes the dew of their lips; for this
Is the way with old fellows like he!
Old Winters a frolcsome blade l wot-
He Is wild in his humor and free!
He'll whistle along for the want OF
thought
And set all the warmth of our furs at
And ruffle the laces by pretty girls
bought
A frolicsome fellow is he!
Old Winter is blowing his gusts along
And merrily shaking the tree
From morning I'll night he will sing his
song
Now moaning and short-now bowling and
long,
His voice is loud for his lungs are strong
A merry old fellow is he
Old Winters tough old fellow for blows
AS tough ever you seel
He will trip up our trotters, and rend our
clothes.
And stiffen our limbs from fingers to toes
lie minds not the cries of his friends or
A tough old fellow is he!
"A cunning old fellow is Winter, they say,
cunning old fellow Is hei
He peeps In the crevices day by day,
To see how We re passing our time away
And marks all our doings from grave TO
gay
I'm afraid he is peeping at me-"
Indeed the weather last week made one
feel that winter is close by, and furs and
fires were more than comfortable. To-
morrow will be IAN Hallow Fen" the d.
vidlng line of the seasons the threshold
of winter. What a night for frolicking
and fortune telling Who of us, who are
now I'm the scar and yellow leaf" cannot
recall with unbounded pleasure the fun
we used to have on the eve of All Saints!
How we "bobbed" for apples. roasted
chestnuts and told our fortunes" in va
vious waysl For instance, has there ever
grown UP a girl who has not eaten her
half egg shell of salt on All Hallow Zen.
and then taken herself off to bed, to dream
of having her future" hand her the long
ed-for cup of water? Then the mystic
rious dark room, with the Iooking-glass.
the apple and the fiickerlng candle! Surely
If a sweetheart could conceive of such
ward her heroism, for 1t takes genuine
bravery to go through the spell of the
dark room" So much for the young
folks and All Hallows But there is still
something left for those who have turned
the mile stone of life. and who are facing
the setting sun, for
"By and by, when Northern winds are
out,
Great fires will roar in chimnevs huge
at night,
While chairs draw round. and pleasant
tales are told,
And nuts and apples will be passed
about
Until the household, drowsy with de-
light.
Creeps off to bed a-cold"
