How shoif, nml dark these winter days
That come with fall ol snow utid rain
Wilt winds that roam the untrodden ways,

That in the purple distance merge ;
Haw cheerless looms the laden sky
Along the dull horizon’s verge.
Tho barren woods uo longer ring
With summer carols of the lay ;
The robio plumed his russet wing,
And with tho Autumn passed awuy.
Down in the hollow next the glado
The scarlet winter berries gleam,
Where, stem and chill, the host has laid
His icy fetters ou tfie stream.
Outside the window where,the vino
Hang", shivering, stripped of all its leaves,
The iciclos like daggers shinoX
Down pointing from the jagged caves.
The gray dawn loiters on its way
To touch tiie sombre east with light;
Ami, like a timid fawn, the day
Plies startled at the step o! night.
In feathery Hakes the silent snow
r Palls earthward from the chilly cloud,
And wraps the frozen earth below
In wintry whiteness like a cloud.
But what case wc for winter’s cold,

A Lively anif Picturesque Ylar-
Ket-Piaee.
Montgomery, Ala., Dec. 16, 1868.
The stranger to Montgomery who
may happen to reach the city on Snt
urdny, if anxious to pick up an item
or two, cannot da bet'er than to visit
llio market, which is generally opo.i by
three in the afternoon, continuing open
till late at night. The market place is
a miserable structure at b St, and pos
itively disgraces tho city; but, as the
preacher observed when caught kiss
ing a colored sister, 1 it's the best there
is.” The upper part of the main build
ing does double duty as a Council
chamber and as a po’icj elhee, while
the lower part is vilely daubed with
blue and red paint, making it loos fil
thy in the ext.emo. Tlie stalls in the
meat market rent for something
like SIOO each per year, and the butch
ers are perhaps the jolliest fellows one
would like to meet with, each taking
his “tod” at early daybreak with sent
pulous regularity The quality of their
meats is wnerallv qsnu bait- end Hui
who go ttieie to obtain the nceessaneß
of life for tbo support of their families.
Attached to tbo meat-market is a
long wooden shed, confined to the sale
of fish and vegetables, at the end of
which are two very ordinary colloo
stands, where the beverage that cheers
but not inebriates can be obtained as
early as four o’clock in tho morning,
and a vile mixture it is at that The
Moslem, fresh from the land of tho
prophet, would seek in vain for any
trace of the delicate aroma, supposed
to boa distinguishing trait of tho geu
uine bevel age, and if tho party who
swallows it sweats it is nothing but
sweet potatoes, cut into dice, roasted
and ground, be will not be very wide
ol the mark. In tho open air, extend
ing from these coffee stands to Ferry
street, are several tables, where poorer
qualities of meat can bo purchased,
and where market wagons most do
congregate; and, having reached this
point, the vi-itor has seen all there is of
the market.
Evetyfiody go’s to market, ns n mat

Door, v bile and black, high an I low ;
dignitaries of the chinch and ker.o
players, blushing brides and bruised

thieves, old deci ipid oc ogenarians and
laughing children—all jostle each oth
er in every direction. Some aro there
hy appointment to incut engngementß
i>i' business or pleasure; others go to
be seen, while others go to sue how
small a lot ot pro.isions can be cairiod
away for the few dollars they inuy
have to invest, while all around a
steady stream of conversation is going
on that really rivals the scenes enacted

Oku Kiss) Mahja.— There was a
funny littio cpieolo on the car ' that
helped to arouse us. At Montanp a
young man and a young woman cane
on board of the sleeping cir, and the
former said : “S ;e hereAlr 0 iiiue
tor, I want one ofyonr bunks for this
young woman aud one for myself indi
vidually One wll do for us when we
git to the Bluffs, hey, Marier? (a play
ful and affectionate pike at “Marier”
with his c!b or, to which she repli and,
“now John quit ? ’) for y. u see w.’flc
goiu' to git married’ at Marier’a uncle’s
when wc git there- We might a’ b?en
niwrioJ at M intanny, but we took a
habit to wait till wo got* to the Bluffs,
bein’ as Miner's ui cle is a imoi»t:T,
and they chargo a g<>l’ fir and price L-»
hitoliu’ folks at Montanny.” Maria
was a signea to one ol tho “best bunks, ’’
aud John was given one not for away.
After a lime iho innrn'ea of tho car
wore all strowed away in their berths
to go through the inrvi’abte alterna
tions ~f sweltciing aud fre. zlrtg.
During a stoppage of the train at
one station the voice of John was heard,
raised in pleading accents, all uncon
scious that the train had stopped, and
that tones which the noise of tho rat
tling wheels bad d-owued while the
ears were moving, e >uld be distinctly
heard by all when they hod stopped.
“Now,Ma-ri, you might give a feller
j b’ one kiss”
“John, you quit, or I’ll git. right oqt
here and hwf it back to Montanuy iu
the snow storm ’’
“Only one little kbs, M irier, anil I’ll
go; hope to die ii I don’t.”
“John—”
Ju-t at that interesting moment a
gray bead protruded from a 1 earth at
the Other cud of the ca ! ', .... J aa old
man cried out so that ail could hear:
‘.Marier, for Uid’s sake give Jehu one
ki3S, so that wo can go to sleep bjejc;
tiuie to-night."
It is needless to remark that a peal
of laughter rang fr,,-m one end of the
ear to the other, under cover of which
John flunk back to the solitary scolu
sioa of his “butk,” leaving Marier to
the uudis uibed possession of her mar
riago license, which she interpreted to
permit no license, to John until uccom
panied by the proper oeniiioate. And
Marier was right.

’lhosgh the cotton erupa of tho hist

with grateful oheerfulnesH. There are,
of course, many lazy, radicals, vaga
