Mr Harold Begbie, in some ■yerses in j tho Westminster Gazette, entitled ] "An Enemy," thus depicts the havoc i which the- cold weather has wrought j in tho gurdo-n: —
"Mx garden hides from heaven her
sorrowed f-fioe, No garden now; rather a burial place For tender infancy that laughed m
vain; Beauty and innocence, and hope are
slam ; Something . that hoteth God's fair
universe Ff-ith set on April's brow the,winter "of its curse. ~ ' ' 'Tis wanton, O 'tis wanton to destroy - Tini slender loveliness God mado'i'or-
joy* Jf'e who did turn the first year's
timorous eyes From winter's gr-ave to spring's resur-
gent skies; 6 winds, ye make;- Him break His ancient word, Whence comes your pow'r to flaunt the everlasting Lord? ■ '
