SOMETHING. ABOUT THE WEATHER


Sunday last, kind reader, was the first day ol


March-to be sure it was, for this is,not leap year
(whatever the girls may say about it) and Satur-
day was the 28th and last day of February


March came in, shaking the sIcet and snow from
his garments-came in "Iike a"-there. now
The Register Of yesterday fairly used that saying
before we had time to print it, for we had it writ
ten-but no matter. We intended to say like a
Lion" but it will do just as we'll to say something
else, quite as ancient and thread bare, to wit
I" Winter still lingers,in the lap Of Spring" The
Register must not be vexed at this, for he knows
it is not often we write about "Autumn " and
Spring.


Old Mr.. Baily says, in his big Dictionary, that
"the antients used to paint March tawny, with a
fierce aspect, helmet on his head, leaning upon
a spade, holding Aries in his right hand and al
nlond blossoms and cions in his left, and basket
of garden seeds on his arm but the garden
seeds, we fear, will have to be handed over this
season to winged and showery April AS 10 the
" fierce aspect" that is still kept up, and on Mon
day. we fancied we almost heard the seet rauing
on his " helmet"


We have not seen, for long time, such snow
IS fell on Monday last. 1t has blocked up the
roads, so that it will be impossible for the wagon
'rs to make much headway for a day or two
md this in the South is quite unusual while the
Rail Road Cars from the North will come puff; !
ng olong-just when they get ready BY lhei
way, that word putting reminds US of the pipe d
nd now, with the Virginia weed to console us,'f
nd the bright snow to look at, let the sIeighs
ash on, and let "tawny" March be /" fierce" or
entle, as may suit him best
