It was eery cold-Follded in warm woolens and fur', and with hands and feet nestled in lined gauntlets and gaiters, the cutt!ng N'orth wind yet struck a chill to the blood that horsertack exercise would else have sent bounding through our veins. Yea; it was very cold, but n and around the little wr, tched huts we were passing, thero seemed to have been no preparation for t: e severity of the w ath er. The dirt chimneys were in many in stances. half fallen -dwil ; the v ind whi tied through the i.mntuterable cracks in the black logs, and no token of tree or shrubbery gave its gleam of evergreen b auty to relieve the dreariness and des olation. The !shagzy coated cattle stood in for lorn g oop around the hious's, unshelter ed and unfe·d, although the dead grass w:as c:'ip, and the ground glassy with sleet. The few chickens were huddled cdiserinnso!te y in corners of the dilapita ted feinces, and there ic.s nothing cheer ful. unles- it might be the laugh of the sailow, ill clad chihlren. who, n0ow and then, iFsued froml the doorways and sal lied around like a tloock of little snow bird-, until reca'led, by the harsh voice of the scrawny mother, who came to the door with the baby in her arms. Those children were shivering in their rag s-- t e old, raw hide bshots were near ly in tarters, and the apology for head gearing only fluttered wildly about cat-:h ming an extra quantity of wind. Then their poor little clreks were pinched and t',in-feaverand ague hail s t its sllow mark utpon them and hung r could be read in the deep s t eyes, and yet, not. withstanding all these miseries they could lar-lh and shout and fire their "christimas guns" as they called the winging bang w'th which they roung t down old boa ds and picces of plank upon the ground. What can>who'ly check thl natural gladness if childhood? The Christmas had come and gone; more for" tunate children had sat around the warm fires of their snug nurseries. d scuas sing the gifts of Santa Clans-What good gifts had the Christmnast Fairy brought for these "step children" of Fortune ? What would any Christmaa ever lhing to them ? What hopes waited on theo'r fu ture manhood and womanhood - born as they were to a herita:ge of poverty and ignorance, in a land too poor and too op pressed to fost r what (under better in fluences) might become her strength and pride? We had met several groups of these hapless little ones that day -some retUrn ing from "borrowing" expeditior.s with a handful or tWo of meal, or a little piece of fresh meat-in the bottom of their tin buckets--"Do you know your 1 tters ? Did you ever go to school?" We asked of thim, and for answer r.ceived a blank stare or a shake of the head. Poor little wretches! their white skin d.bars them from the protection of a lureau, and the State seems to have nothing for h-r thousands of poor white childIren, grow ing up to flood the land w ith ignorance and vice. Of the many homes, we en tered that day, ther, were only two where there was a single individual-youth or adult-who kuew the alphabet. And we heard details of sin and suffering that were h-art sickening. "In that house" said a man, pointing to one by the road-side" two chillren died of starvation a short time ago."
