BY DAIWA: 'SYRON Some years ago I was occupying a lonely houge in one of the regions of Northern Ontario and et quite a . distance from any other homitetion. It was the summer resi- donee of a friend, who, from a sudden client- clination for general society, had decided on remaininoqlirougli the wieter. 1 was in - e vited to spend the winter with them, and, having become wearied of the general feel- ionable winter routine of city life, and ever on the alert for chemge aud variety, I de- cided, in a moment of impulse to accept the invitation and devote the winter to quiet- ness and study. I aeon tired:of it, but was eudeavoring to make the best of my situation when my friends were sucldeely sow:atoned to the eity by the sickness of a near friend, and I was left to my own de- vices for a few days. The day. after their departure it eommeneeci snowing, and all day long the snow fairies fluttered down, waving theie white wings and scattering wreaths of pearle upon every twig and tree. I sat all day by the window in a south par- lor evaaching it. The room was bright and cheery; the carpet soft anti warm with rich. glowing colors; the futtature, with cushions of rich, wenn-colored velvet and a stand of such plants as can be kept in Northern Winters ailing onecorner Adding immensely wits look of cheer. The light came. softly blushing through crimson. ourteansetud there were pictures with the colors made by the old masters upon the wall*. I drew an old time -mellowed easy -chair up to the win- dow and sat and gazed ottb upon the snow all day dreaming meanwhile dreams warm and rich with the hues of fancy. No sound brolte the almost tangible stillness of the world save the muffled music of the snow, whieh stole like a eofteued lullaby over the aenses. The snow lute a gentle minstrelsy known but to few, for you need not hear it unless you Omen, it is so soft and tender; and you Anna, it your mind is dietracted with °area of warring passions. It is alow, sweet, beguiling melody, so sweet we know not we are listening to it, butwhieh soothes the mind like the oeressing touch of a gentle hand. It is seldom. that I like suoh music —1 madly prefer the rushing mode of the storsn-steed, clinkiug his hoofs along the sky and clashing forth wild discordant barmen - lea ; or the mad melody of fiercely dashing waters; or the still, sublime anthem of the forest, stirred by the many -fingered wind; or, better than these, the old, the grand, never -ceasing, ever-chengiug, majestic ora- torio of the ocean. ut this <lay the music plotted me; 1 was in the mood for the grand epie of ehe an or the forest, nor for the thrilling it of the waters or the wind—but the ato of the snow was like a simple love uithout power to move or thrill,. just ply to aoothe and assist the mind m its lesaness and dreaminess, t was night almost before I knew it, and ought the time of my friend's absence going to bo quite endurable, but when rose next morning and found it still wing slowly and deliberately,I began to ry of ib, This day I did not dream—I eavared to read, but somehow my favor- ook offered no aolo.ce.

The persecution of the Jews and the in- humanity of the Czar's officiale toward the unhappy race are greeter than ever before. Six edicts have beau issued alining to dis- perse the Jewish subjects of Russia, weaken their position and trading centres, and. crush out their religion. These °diets are enforced with the utmost rigor in maty parts of the empire, and with severity everywhere.
