We need not write poems on snow, for snow is itself a poem. Yet has snow, so lustrous and typical, a side most prosaic and disciplinary. What says pinched poverty about snow. What is the feel ing of the shoeless child I What the sen sations of tboso Who huddle together in houses where the roof is frail andthe grate fa caret Are you, eager readers, mere contempiatbts, gazing dreamily on the infinite whiteness, andf thinking of a land unspotted and unsullied, yea, the very heaven of purenessf Better turn the water of contemplation Into tho wine of charity, and the dream of heaven into the service of earth. So cold snow should choke Tip the outlets of the human heart As the snow comes to warm the earth, so all the appeals of winter should warm tho human heart into fuller sympathy with human IU and need. Ask 100 children to breakfast this Christmas; or 100 cripples to dinner; or 100 blind people to an even ing's hospitality.

Its actual shape at the present time is round. Four centuries ago to eat a round minoe pie would be to stigmatise yourself as a jew or heretic.

From our sjiccial correspondent. Washington, Dec 14, 1885, -Washington has como to be the fav orite place of assemblaiefQ for the great associations of the country.. During the week two important organizations held conventions here. One was the American Health Association, and the other was the Federation of Labor Unions of the United States and Can- ada. These, with . t ho meeting of thn ' Forty -ninth Congress, inude tho week one jpf especial interest. The Banitary gatheiinwas composed largely of doctors from every quarter" of the Kejmblic, and among the many important scientific subject which they treated exhaustively, was that of disposing of tho dead. From the ex pressions used in their debates, it was w . . a evident that they had very little rev erence for a man's rcmaina of f r h . dies. Thev Were nlmriRr nnariimniiilv . in favor of cremation. The Woikingman'8 Congress ordered -that the eight-hour rule be enforced on the first of May, and gave expression to many ether of the laborer's wants in no uncertain language. They held a significant mass-in eel ins; and parade of Thursday evening. It was re marked by politicians, religionists and social philosophers who witnessed the scene, that of all the parades seen on Pennsylvaniaavcaue, Republican.Dem ocratic, military or inaugural, none have been impelled by uotiires more positive than the men who marched in" this labor parade. During this first week of the new Congress, neither the Senate nor the Houso has done anything riiore than to prepare for work. As you know. debates on bills cannot begin until, committees report tho bills, and as yet only one bill has been sanctkmod by sion bill, which reached the Senate to day. : It will be taken np at once, rf"lfj though it will giye rise comifdelbler discussion, it is likely .tifTbe passed during the week. X all imnortant features it ia tksame bill passed by the benate lap session. n1 wlil Cabinet offiCCTsia the line of succes sion to tlSe - Prra idrwv in nun r v ,j . v.wv wV VllU death fof both the President and Vire- PresMent.

" Mr. Cariislo Is engaged with his trcublesomo dutv of commitbo r.,v ing"...Much of the time he is closeted with soine of his trusted friends, and they talk the matter over and over again. Mem'jers ; write notes to him asking, fo bo placed on this Or that committee, where tbey think they will find the most congenial work. , It is probable that a revolution in the business methods of the House will be adopted during this week, and that the plan will bo that projiosed by Mr. Morrison, tho author of the horizon tal tariffbill of Irat session. The House began to d;scuss his proposition to-day. It provides, for a distribution of tbe work of tho Appropriations committee. ' This object will not be 'accomplished until after a sharp contest. The strug gle will not bo in tbe nature of a party conflict, however, but between those who think that the plan will facilitate business and those who think it will result in increased expenditures to make such chrvnges at this time. Thn President naturally feels much gratified at the almost universal praise which his first message has evoked. Nor did he find the first week cf Con gress so harassing as many expected. - Senators and Members called upon him but there were fewer appeals for. ofilco , made to him than to any President at the assembling of Congress for years. About three hundred of tha Presi dent's ; recess nominations have been sent to the Senates for confirmation. Republican Senators discussed in cau cus the policy to 1 adopted In regard to them. There vas an enimatod do bate and quite a difference of opinion roanifceteu. Soma favored sreneral on- position, others ad mitted that good ap pointments should not bs apposed. Time only can proro what canrse they . will pursue. The Republicans of the nouse adopted in -caucus a resolution which was a purely demagogical schema to capture ' the soId.".er vote. They de clared in favor of unconditional ; repc&t of tho,limitationof the payment on ar- . . . . rears of pensions, and also in favor cf further extensions of the pension rv Item.
