There's nothing anywhere | go
l'lSft beats a batch of country snow,
The sort for which you don't prepare,
But when you wake, you feel it's there :;
There's lots more light inside the ROOM,
That noise is grandpa with his broom !;
Afterwards the barn your eye Won cast
And say We'll, wife, it's here. at last;
The way the hitching post sticks through
It's sifted down foot or two
There's nothing like it, high or low,
\ fall of good, domestic snow.
You hunt your frock and belt YOUR form
And bring the headStalls .iu to warm :;
\ crop of snow is jest the thing
Until the wind begins to sing;
The dog jumps in and makes a track
Around the little barn and back;
The stock enjoy it, every head;
The colt wakes up and kicks the she'd;
The hens come out, the tiirty things,
And powder up their bills and wings;
Jim Blood goes by with face aglow-
Hurrah for good, old-faShiOncd snow.
The chores done up-it's middling still
You guess you'll slip n grist TO mill,
And drive around and see Sim Dorr
And get that buck you bargained for,
And find Mel AIeiggs, he's pretty good
At helping haul the winter wood,
And fetch the mail and range with Rice
To blacksmith up for snow and ice;
Its sixteen cOrks, but what OF that
You can't provide each boss a mat;
The snow is here and wise men know
That there's a business side to snow
Tomorrow, if the stage gets through.
Eou'n see the wood teams starting, too
You'll see the boys with dovetailed- heads
Discussing various sorts of Sleds,
And talking bout the outs and inns
of wooden versus iron pins;
taly
To settle on the neatest sleighS
But life's a joy, though chilblainS bite,
The. world is lovelieSt when its white;
There's nothing from LaAlotte to Stowe
That beats good. old. domestic snow.

4 Prison Visitor.

Ushuaia, the great convict colony of
Argentina, had a most unusual experience
this southern winter, about which there
is a certain pathos. Late in June a
heavy snowstorm fell, and left two feet
of sparkling witness in the sombre,
walled patoS of the prisons, so that many
men who had never seen the snow before
thus beheld it when they were I'm for
life" Stone walls could not a prison
make for the snow, which came to them
like a shining visitor in their duress.-
