ROSE BLANGHL ITEMS.
Tho winter is fast ebbing away, for grey hairs
arc already noticeable in the icy head of the old
gentleman "Jack Frosl." The season ou tl
western const has liccu perhaps the most sevi
within the memory of old skipper John X—
and that accounts' for nt lenst seventy yon
Thc seals have passed us in great numbers tli
ing tho last three weeks, going west, but o
people being unprepared with nets captured hut
a very few. Successive storms hnve prevailed
since the early part of December Inst, and no
fish of any account has been since taken. So
much indeed, Mr. Editor, for the poor needy
toiler of the sea, whose daily lirt-nil und butler
depends upon his catch of coil. And now at
length grim poverty nnd hunger lingers on
threshold of the village, and only awaits a lack
of mercantile energy und capital to stalk their
gaunt forms to thc fisher's homestead. Yes,
sir, it must be candidly admitted that the merchants (with all their faults) wero the only successful instruments wilh whicli tho wolf has
becu kept from tho door during the present winter. Providence, too, bas been mindful of the
poor, and although it was His gracious will to
close tho doors of tbo cod fishery, the doors of
the sea ducks' nest and these of other sea fowl
were thrown open, so that, like the Israelites
travelling to tho Promised Land, wo may feed
on ducks and mures. But after all, thc darkest cloud has its silver lining, and although
murky darkness seems to hover over thc
fisher's hut while shady despair is nestling
on tho mercantile premises, wc anticipate
and firmly trust that tho genial rays of
Spring, which arc now shining in the distance,
will dispel the misty gloom, and bring peace and
prosperity to t|io humble family around the
social hearth, while commercial energy and enterprise will be abundantly remunerated for efficiency aiid earnestness during those dnrk days of
depression. To the noble ship Volunteer, her
gallant captain and crew, we also owe a deep
debt of gratitude. The never-flinching ship -mil
undaunted seamen havo braved thc ocean's most
tempestuous indignation, nnd brought us tho
news, political, commercial and social from other
parts of our Island Homo. In conclusion, Mr.
Editor, allow mc to congratulate tho Herald
on its first appearance on this West Const. May
it long continue as an organ of light and general
enjoyment to tbe public of Newfoundland.
