Weather Wisdom.

The following are few of the common or
popular proverbial says relative TO the wealth
er:
If at sun rising or setting the clouds appear
of lurid red color, extending nearly 10 the ze-
nith 1t is sure sign of storm and gales of
wind
If the moon shows like a silver shield, be
not afraid TO reap your field. But if she rises
haloed round, soon we'll tread on deluged
ground
"A rainbow at night is the shepherds delight
This adage may also be good sign, provided
the wind be easterly, as it shews that the rain
clouds are passing away.
Evening red and the next morning grey, are
certain signs of beautiful day
If the cock goes growing to bed, he'll GER
tainly rise with watery head
When the peacock loudly bawls, soon we'll
have both rain and squalls

There are some men who go in leading
strings all their days. They always follow in
the path of others, without being able 10 gge
any reasons for their opinions There is
proper mental indepence which all should main
tain---self respect and the stability of our char
acter require it. The man who pins his opin-
ions entirely ON anoher's sleeve, can have no
respect for his own judgment, and is likely to
be ohangeling. When we consider carefully
what appears to our minds, and exercise upon
it our own reason, taking into respectful con
sideration what others say upon it, and then
come to a conclusion of our own, we act as In
lelligent beings should act, and only them
This proper independence of mind is far re-
moved from presumpuous self confidence than
which there is nothing more severely to be
condemned. Presumption is the associate of
ignorance; and il is hateful in the extreme to
hear some half taught STRIPPING delivering his
opinions with all the authority of an oracle
This is not what we mean by mental independ-
ence, and it is TO be hoped none will mistake
what has been said We refer to a modest ye
firm and independent exercise of ;udgmeur
upon subjects which the mind understands
in short, we intend only the opposite of tha,
slavish habit which makes one man the mere
shadow of another.

An EXTRAORDINARY CLoCK-A correspon-
dent of the Newark Daily Advertiser thus de-
scribes new, and certainly very curious
clock:
The clock apart from the ornamental work,
is simply this: An arrow, the stem of which is
solid glass rod; the barb or head of which is
of brass and also solid the feather end of the
Arrow is Of the same metal, but is made hol-
low, and contains the whole moving power of
the clock, and is wound up once week This
arrow is fastened by pin in the centre of It's
stem into glass dial plate on which the fig
ures are painted, the arrowhead pointing to the
hour with perfect precision and regularity.
An inspection of the clock presents TO the
curious observer this question: how can any
movement contained in the extreme end of the
arrow-and obviously having no connection
with the centre on which it turns-operate to
cause the arrow to revolve? remarkable
fact which shows the impossibility ofdeception,
is that the arrow may be removed from the dial
plate and laid down on the table, or even car
ried in the pocket, and when replaced will i'm
mediately return to the correct hour.
The inventor of this wonder is T r. Lefory,
a Jeweller in Newark We are little incred-
ulous.

We mean that young man clad in broad
cloth and ruffles, and tasseled cap--with ''soap
locks" dangling about his ears, and ivory head
ed cane dangling about his legs. A few mo-
ments since he was to be seen at the bar swal-
lowing his glass of brandy and water. Pres
emily you will see him with cigar in his
mouth in chaise or gaily trimmed cutter,
driving smart trotting horse through the
street. Halo, there young man you are on
the high road TO ruin! soon you will drive down
the steep precipice into everlasting disgrace!
Rein back put up your team; cast away your
cigar; lay off your broadcloth; abstain from the
cup, procure some mechanical or agricultural
tools; cultivate habits of industry and morality;
aim to be an honest and useful man. By SO
doing you may yet retrieve falling reputation,
and make yourself useful and respectable
member in society.

From the North Americana
The Exploring Expeditions

Rv THE AUTHOR OF "sHIP AND SHORE"
The Captain of Nantucket whale ship, re
turning from the South Sea, reports that when i
latitude 76, he fell in with an immense iceberg
on the gittering face of which he discovered deep
" chiseled in large letters, the following lines
which he carefully transcribed on the spot.
Meath this icebergs rough attrition,
Coffined low in many ship,
Lies the South Pole expedition
Homeward bound from its cold trip
1t had proved itself no dreamer:
Reached its ice-encircled goal;
Planted there its gorgeous streamer,
Star and stripe upon the Pole!
This proud triumph nerved and cherished
Through the long Antartic night,
While each hope of home had pershed,
When this iceberg hove IN sight.
Ninety days the gale had lasted,
When beneath the towering pile,
1t had moored its ships dismasted;
Deeming this some ce-bound isle!
When it plunged, and through the ocean
Sunk each unresisting deck,
Ere the sleeper felt the motion,
Or the watch escaped the wreck!
Ger its dark, unfathomed slumbers,
Wakes no human wall or knell,
But the mermaid pours her numbers,
h.. ,,,;lJ o1oo;oo eLol1
Little heeds ii now this story,
Craven here in finty frost;
Little recks of Polar glory,
Trophies won, or laurels lost!
Never more shall it "weigh anchor"
"Loosen sail,' or heave the lead;'
Never more "man ib' or "spanker,"
Till the last trump wakes the dead.
