The cold weather throughout III., Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Dakota and Minnesota, Is fearful; the mer- cury ranging from 16 to 24 degrees below zero. The accounts of suffer¬ ing are frightful. Chattanooga Tenn. 7 to 9 below zero; Birmingham, at zero. Atlanta, Ga., at zero and « little above; Augusta, Ga., the cold¬ est weather in fifty years, 6 degrees below zero with the river nearly fro- zen over; ice at Jacksonville, Fla., one inch thick, with mercury at 32 above zero; considerable damage to orange crop, At New Orleans, the mercury stood 19** above zero; snow from 2 inches to 2 feet deep reported nil over Texas. The sufferings of the cattle men are very great, from trom frozen stock. A number of per- sons at different points lroze to death. Trains snowed in* and in¬ dustries effectually stopped, lhe floods, are now very great, following them, tlie extreme cold, entailed suf¬ fering beyond description. People in places having to go in their hous¬ es through the windows, the base¬ ments being overflown with water We will give a more detailed ac¬ count next week. Give to me my Sunny South.

As t,ve are separated by many miles ’from four of our brothers we are not prepared to give the status of their religious standing but trust it is as they received it from tlie lips of those who tried to teach us in our tender years to say “Our Father In Heaven.” We can prayerfully say give back to us just a little while those years tor ever fled, that we may live them again and drink in once more child hoods sunny hours; we go straying back to the spot not more than ten miles from Ellaville and see the place we loved so well where we played, the school house, the old church of sacred memories and the road to school and that to church. Why will memory of those by gone days. those by gone years keep pursu¬ ing us? but still we love to remem- her them, We love to think of that time, no language can be borrowed that we love better than that which accurately describes our youthful years. We think, we think, we think, Of the pleasures of childhood sweetly drink, Oft they sweeten advancing age, In life’s history is the best ptge, The dear treasures of our heart, From which we never want to part, Is the memory of childhood’s hours, When we gathered the sweetest flowers, When sweet innocence was on our brew, When we with reverence were taught to bow, again, 'chose days will never come B it still thev linger with sweet retrain, ’1 hose forms to us now most dear, May not live another year. Their footsteps are feeble, their heads are whitening for the harvest of eternity. If there is one ambi¬ tion that we covet above another, it is that we may have the blest privilege of making their last days their best days. To-uigluour father gave us the worn Testament and Psalms as he ofteu did, before we left the parental roof. We read a Psalm and bowed with them as we had often done in other years, Wo tried to thank God from a full heart for sparing them so long to us and to continue his unsparing blessings upon their gray beads what little time they may yet live, it was one of the happiest hours o our i e. Gur feelings were better imagined than told. Thanks and boundless gratitude to our God for all his good¬ ness cannot be told. When we hear the profane swearer giving forth from the fountain of the deepest and darkest corruption just such words as the wicked one delights to hear we are glad to-night that we have been taught bett^ and to K-t-rd .11 such » no«»lit «°P«- rents who have passed away, also as no sure sign of intelligence. We niay class with the profane swearer those given to vulgar talk and it makes us in inexpressibly sad when we are forced to acknowledge that a“St Tu-tinivinv b under * bu.hel.

This is our closing our fervent prayer, That all the good may Heaven share. More About Editors.
