Winters Discipline.

D He-who marvels at the beauty of the world7in summer will find equal cause for wonder and admiration i'll winter. f, It is true the pomp and pageantry are swept away, but the essential elements remain-the day and the night, the mountain and the valley, the elemen- tai play and succession, and the per petual presence of the infinite sky. In winter the stars seem to have rekin- died their fires, the moon achieves a fuller triumph, and the heavens wear look of more exalted simplicity
 Summer Is more wOOing, q. mora versatile and human, appeals to the affections and the sentiments, and ,fOs- ters inquiry and the art impulse. Win ter is of a more heroic cast, and ad- dresses the intellect. The severe studies and disciplines come easier in winter. One imposes larger tasks upon himself. ...

The Hartford Courant. in an editorial on the Red Cross parade in Hartford last Saturday, makes the following statement which is appli- cable to most all localities: 'The parade was a cause af satisfaction, the only great regret involved in any detail connected with it lying in the fact that it was deemed wise to give it in the hope that it might rouse to action those men and women who hitherto have remained indifferent to the work of the Red Cross. There are such and it was for them that this parade should have carried a lesson. It was q satisfaction to the rest of the community; to those who have been indifferent to the work or the organi- zation it should have been 8 reproach from which they should rid them selves of at once.
