WINTER. “Hark, How the Cold Winds Blow.” Some writer, we forget who at this writing, has said, that, in the distri bution of the seasons, nature has given to mankind the benefit of a system of equivalents. It would be difficult for some to see and acknowl edge this, and, doubtless, the dissen tients to this doctrine, will be found mostly among the poorer classes and those of enfeebled constitutions. The poor, the strong and the weak, were like the green and flowery fields and the glorious sun, often veiled in clouds. The great luminary hung like a mockery of itself, as, in dispens ing a cold and feeble light, it cast no vivifying heat from sunny skies to enrich the landscape, to tint the flow ers, and variegate woods and fields with emerald leaves and growing crops of corn and wheat and delicious fruits of every hue and pleasant taste. Casting the eye upon the woods, their beauty is gone, and they stand in leafless deformity, stretching out their rugged limbs, unclothed and creaking in the cold and hollow winds. The sweet music, of rustling leaves, gives way to the shrieks of the naked limbs, whose beautiful cov ering lies upon the cold ground, faded and decaying. All nature feels the change; the songs of the nightin gale, the lark, and other sweet sing ing birds are hushed in the neighbor ing landscape, or the sunny skies. But, at bleak seasons, an equivalent is found in our snug firesides and closed doors, and the music of harps supplies the absence of the evening and night-singing birds. Without, we suffer from sleets and snows; with in, we are cheered by the notes of the violin, the piano and the harp. Who will say this is not a charming equiv alent, and the mind that wj is charm ed by the Summer moonl ight finds higher joy in the garniture and glory of mental beauty, contemp ation and study. This is more applicable to those who study nature and draw as much beauty from its contemplation within as without. Nature furnishes the mental food, when spring time and summer furnish the beautiful landscapes, the vari-colored flowers, the glowing sunbeams, spreading out the real vale of Tempe to the natural eye; but the soul of thought unrolls them all, whether they spring from rich and lovely creations of the mind, in its glowing thoughts, self-created, or gathered from the pages of gifted and learned writers. This is a charm ing instance of the equivalent of na ture in making the rudest season, when the winds are frigid, when the streams are filled with ice and nature becomes a skeleton of its vernal or summer beauty, when the flowers are not in bloom, and the bees are seek ing honey in vain upon thej hills or in the vales. One is the real feast of the good things of nature, the food to nourish the body, the other the men tal feast to feed the mind, the imagi nation, and give them enjoyment and strength even exceeding the material food and nurture for the body. One is for the immaterial, the other the material. The immaterial becomes to the mind, the material for all the great mental purposes of life. Who can doubt that mental activity is greater in the winter than the sum mer time? Mental activity is reasona bly greater in the winter than in the summer, and if that be so, we should not complain, but rather delight in it in proportion tothe superiority of mind over matter. Welcome then, the brac ing winter which rears the intellectual power over the debilitating effects of warmer "suns that yield physical gratifications at the expense of the intellectual. It may be true that some constitutions are better suited to warm than colder climates, but that does not impair the force of our position as a vast [majority of- the human family are stronger and health ier in cold climates than in warm. Still it is doubtless true there is a me dium that is better suited for the great majority than one extremely cold or warm. Session of the Legislature Prolonged, On Tuesday last, Mr. Russell, of Clark, presented to the House the report of the joint committee to inves tigate the business before the Legis lature, with a view of determining the propriety of prolonging the session beyond the forty days constitutional limit. The committee found 388 House and Senate bills not acted on and it seemed to be conceded by all that the needful business of the Gen eral Assembly could not be attended to in the few days remaining under the Constitutional limit. Mr. Calvin, of Richmond offered a resolution pro viding for the prolongation of the ses sion for such time beyond the forty days as may be necessary to transact the public business. Mr. Harrison, of Quitm&n, moved an extension of 30 days and Mr. Brewster, of Harris, moved that the legislature adjourn on December 15th, the day of the consti tutional limit. After a lively little debate, the resolution as presented by Mr. Calvin, prolonging the session as long as may be necessary to trans act the public business, was adopted by a large majority. The resolution was then on motion of Mr. Russell of Clarke, immediately transmitted to the Senate. In the Senate Mr. Butt, Chairman of the Senate committee on the same subject, made a report simi lar to that of the House Committee and recommending the passage of the resolution of Mr. Calvin, which had been adopted by the House as above stated. Without taking any action on the report, the Senate transacted other business and finally adjourned to the next day; but it is pretty certain, we think, that it will concur in the action of the House and then the Legislature may sit till it disposes of all necessary business, or it may take a recess and finish up leg islative business during a summer ses sion, as has been the habit of our law makers on several occasions hereto fore. Snow Incidents in Atlanta. The heavy fall of snow in Atlanta some ten days ago, brought so heavy a weight upon the roof of the large livery stable of Mr. Jones, that it gave way under the weight, and in falling, crushed a number of carriages, buggies, &c., causing a loss to the proprietor ot between 6,000 and 7,000 dollars. When the two Houses of the Legislature assembled on Mon day morning, it became known that the roof of the State House had been examined by an architect and he thought there was some danger, that under the heavy weight of snow*, it might fall in, to the great danger of all who might be ;in the building Under these circumstances, a member of the House moved an adjournment until the next day. After a short de bate, the motion prevailed by a good majority. The Senate however went forward with its regular business as usual. Panic in the House. We copy from the Constitution the following humorous account of the manner in which “the grave and rev erend seignors” of the House met the dangerous emergency which threat ened them with a sudden and awful finish to their labors for their several constituencies and the people at large: Every’member looked at every oth er member as if to inquire: “Who will move to adjourn until the spring time comes gentle Annie.” Nobody moved. Taking advantage of the “wait be tween the acts, fifteen or twenty members, brave to the point of des peration, got up and asked for leaves of absence. These were granted unan imously and rapidly. This business finished, Mr. Schofield of Bibb, arose: “Mr. Speaker,” he said, “in view of the fact that the engineer in charge of the capitol has stated that the roof is unsafe by reason of the heavy weight of snow, I move that the house adjourn until Tuesday morning at 10 o’clock.” Before the motion could be put more members asked leaves of ab sence. Granting leaves of absence is a very important business, so the mo tion to adjourn was suspended in the air until those asked coaid be grant ed. Somebody, whom the reporter could not see objected to adjourning. Mr. Harrell of Webster, said that a dark day once visited a certain New England State, while the general as sembly was in session. Somebody moved to adjourn. Somebody else objected, saying that if death was at hand it should be met by members while at their posts of duty. On his motion candles were brought in and the business proceeded. “Now,” con tinued Mr. Webster, “if we are to go up, let us go up while in the discharge of our duty.” “The trouble is,” said Mr. Howell, of Fultoh, “the majority of us may have to go down instead of up.”— [Laughter.] “I ain willing,” replied Mr. Har- vell, “to make that downward propo sition applicable to the gentleman from Fulton.” [Renewed laughter.] Mr. Harvell, of Decatur, obtained the floor. “Mr. Speaker,” he said, “it is well enough for the gentleman from Web ster to wish to be buried in this build ing. He is an old bachelor. But some of us are married men and have families. [Laughter and applause.] Some further debate took place, and then the yeas and nays were call ed. The result was, yeas 66, nays 45. So the house adjourned. In exactly one minute and three and a half seconds, all the members had left the capitol and were seeking their boarding places. But the capitol still stands. NORTH GEORGIA CONFERENCE. Appointments for the Ensuing Year. AUGUSTA DISTRICT. W. P. Lovejoy, Presiding Elder. St. John’s and Broad Street Mission, J. W. Roberts, A. G.

Clark, clerk of the House of Representatives, classifies the mem bers as 168 Democrats, 152 Republi cans and four Independents, with one vacancy—Rhode Island—to be filled probably by a Republican. The hope of getting something for nothing is a delusion and a snare.— That man shall earn his bread by the sweat of his brow is a divine com mand, and a cheerful acqniesence in His will is the only true road to hap piness. Since 1861 ten Presidents or ex-Pres- idents have died: Van Buren and Tyler in 1862, Lincoln in 1865, Buch anan 1868, Pierce in 1869, Filmore in 1874, Johnson in 1875, Garfield in 1881, Grant in 1885 and Arthur in 1886. The cold was so intense im Americus Monday night that very many water pipes burst, and the engine that pumps water Iromthe artesian well to the waterworks stopped. ATHENS DISTRICT. S. P.

CONFERENCE NOTES. Monday morning when Revs. Gl Evans Patillo and Ellison R. Cook, were unanimously admitted to the Conference, the Bishop called atten tion to the fact that both these young; men were sons of eminent ministers* now in the North Georgia Conference and expressed his pleasure that they were in the line of succession. Dr. Cook the father of Rev. Ellison R. Cook, here arose and filled with emo tion and make a touching talk rela tive to both young men, and when he finished there was not a dry eye in the house. Revns. Pattillo and Cook are young men of exceptional prom ise and will no doubt be eminently successful in winning souls for the Master. W. F. Cook was placed upon the Sunday School Board in place of C. A. Evans. The following were superanuatecT r A. J. Deavors, C. Trussell, W. R. Branham, N. H. Palmer, R. A. Con ner, W. J. Wardlaw, W. J.

Haneby, W. A. Simmons, B. F. Fearriss. Peter A. Heard was left effective. The name of Dr. Jesse Boring was referred to the Committee of Confer ence Relations for a superanuated re lation. The South Georgia Conference, of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, convened at Cutlibert, Ga., on Wednesday, December 8th., Bishop E. R. Hendrix, of Missouri, presiding. A strolling gypsy told a West Vir ginia farmer that if he would place $25 in a certain hollow stump and leave it there all night it would be^doubled in the morning. The farmer tried ft, and sure enongh found $50 in the stump. Then the gypsy advised the farmer to put all he had, $700 in the stump and draw out $1,400 in the .morning. The farmer took his ad- vice7.ahd.-is now looking for a gypsy wlfoih*h*e> sa^ lias stolen $700 from him?* ^ •*» Me,' HugjflsT..Inman, of Atlanta, is weftrtn^ftlffiOOO suit of clothes. The suit onryteosQjhh $2,600, but now rep resents a cost of $16,000. The suit is a neat salt-and-pepper Scotch cassimere, well mixed, three- button coat and loose trousers. Mr. Inman is a snug millionaire, but he doesn’t usually wear $16,000 clothes.. Here is how he came to get the suit. About two years ago he put.$2,500 in to a scheme for building a railroad to Sheffield, a projected tow r n in North Alabama. In twelve months he sold his interest for a suit of clothes.
