A rainbow in fair weather denotes foul
if in foul, fair weather will follow. A double
rainbow indicates much rain.
A performance of the purple color of
the rainbow, shows wind and rain-dark !,
,empest-light red, wind-yellow, dry wea-
ther-green, rain-blue, denotes that the air
is clearing.
If the .Aurora BoreaAs appear after seve-
raj warm days, it is generally succeeded by
a GOODNESS of the air. If the .Aurora Bore
ais has been considerable, either an in
creased degree of cold is Immediately pro-
duced, or bodies of clouds are Immediately
formed
If, in very wet season, the sky is tinged
with sea-green color, near the bottom,
where it ought to be blue, it shows that rain
will speedily follow, and increase; when i!
is of deep dead blue, it is over-charged
with vapors, and the weather will be show
cry.
When the sun appears white at the set
ting, or goes down into bank of clouds,
which lie in the horizon. they indicate the
approach or continuance of bad weather.
When it rains with an east wind, it will
probably continue twenty-four hours.
The heaviest rains, when of long contin-
uance, generally begin with the wind blow
ing eas,erly, which gradually veers round
to the southland the rains do not cease I'M
til the wind has got to the west, or little
northwest.
While rain is falling, if any small space
of the sky is visible, it is almost certain
sign tina, the rain will speedily cease.
If the clouds that move with the wind be-
come stationary, when they arrive at that
part of the horizon which is opposite to the
wind, and appear to accumulate, they an
nounce speedy fall Of rain.
A frequent change of wind, with an agi-
tation of the clouds, denotes sudden storm.
A fresh breeze generally springs up be-
fore sunset. particularly in the summer.
The weather usually clears up at noon
but, if it rain at midnight, it seldom clears
up till sunset.
The winds which begin to blow in the
day time are much stronger, and endure
longer than those which begin to blow on
ly in the night.
A hollow or whstling wind denotes rain.
If the wind follow the course of the sun,
} fair weather will follow.
Weather, either good or bad, which takes
place in the night time, is not generally of
long dura.ion-and, for the most part, wind
is more uncommon in the night than in the
day time. Fine weather in the night with
scattered clouds does not last.
Violent winds prevail more in the vicini-
ty of mountains, than in open plains.
AVenetan author says-"A sudden storm
from the north does not last three days.o
If it thunders IN December, moderate and
fine weather may be expected.
If it thunders, at intervals, in the spring
time, before the trees have acquired leaves.
cold weather is still to be expected.
Laundering in the morning, denotes wind
at noon-in the evening rain and tempest

BEAUTIFUL "REMINISCENCES OF THE
FIRST CONGRESS, IN PHILADELPHIA

FIRST CONGRESS, IN PHILADELPHIA.
(From the pen of the venerable John Adams.)
When the Congress met, Mr.. Gushing
made motion that it should be opened
with PRAYER. 1t was opposed by Mr.. Jay,
Of New Y ork, and Dir. Rulledge, of South
Carolina, because we were so divided in re-
Iigious sentiments, some Episcop alians, some
QuakeTs, some Anabaptists, some Presbyte-
rlans, and some Congrega,ionalists, tina. we
could not join in the same act of worship
Mr.. Samuel Adams arose and said, ':that be
was no bigot, and could hear prayer from
any gentleman of piety and virtue who was
at the same time friend Of his county,
He was stranger in Philadelphia, but had
heard that Mr.. Duche, (Dushay, they pro-
nounoed it.) deserved that character, and
therefore, he moved that Mr.. Duche, all E.
piscopal clergyman, might be desired to read
prayers to Congress Tomorrow morning.
The motion was seconded, and passed in
the affirmative. Mr.. Randolph, our Pres-
dent, waited on Mr.. d., and received for an
swer, that if his health would permit, he
certainly would. Accordingly, next morn
ing, he appeared with his clerk, and his pom
tficals, and read several prayers in the estab-
lshed form, and then read the psaller for the
seventh day Of September, which was the
34th psalm. You must remember this was
the next morning after we had heard the ru-
NOR of the horrible cannonade Of Boston.
ut seemed as though heaven had ordained
that psalm to be read on that morning"
After this, Mr.. Duche, unexpectedly to
every body, struck out Into an extemporary
prayer, which filled the bosom Of every man
present. j must confess | never heard
better prayer or. one so well pronounced
Epscopalian as he is, DR.. Cooper himself
never prayed with such fervor, such ardor,
such correctness and pathos, and in language
SO elegant and sublime for America, for Con-
gress, for the province of the Massachusetts
Bay, especially the town of Boston. Ithad
excellent effect upon every body here. Il
must bid you to read the psalm. IF there is
any faith in the sort Virgilana, or Homeri-
aca, or especially the sorts Biblicn, it would
have been thought providenlial."
Here was scene worthy of the painters
art. ]. was in Carpenters Hall, in Phla-
delphia, a building which still survives, that
the devoted individuals met to whom this
service was read.
Washington was kneeling there, and Hen
ry, and Randolph, and Rusledge, and Lee,

Human nature is not SO much depraved as
to hinder us from respecting goodness in
others, though we ourselvs want it. This
is the reason why we are so much charmed
with the pretty prattle of children, and even
the expressions of pleasure or uneasiness in
some part of the brute creation. They are
without artfce or malice and we love truth
too we'll to rsst the charm of sincerity.

The CHAFF OF A CoNGRE CATION. When
the celebrated Mr.. Irving had once exceed
ed, by the length Of his sermon, the patience
of modern congregation. seeing several
persons quietly stealing out of chapel, ne
sat down in the pulpit, saying-''r shall
now wait until the chat has blown off," The
reproof had the desired effect, and shamed
people into remaining quiet.

A Hoosier was called upon the stand, a.
way out West, TO testify to the character of
a brother Hoosier. 1t was as follows:
"How long have you known Bill Bush

Ever since he was born.''
"What is his general character -
dieter A, No. l-'bove par very great
way"
"Would you believe him on oath %
eyes, stree, on or of, or any other way"
"What, in your opinion, are his qualifca-
tons to good character.''
He's the best shot on the pararies or in
woods; he can shave the eye winkers off
of a wolf as far as shooting iron III carry
"a ball; he can drink a quart of grog any
day, and chaws tobacker like boss"

The New York papers tell story Of a

A Court ScENE.-There is a point be-
You'd which human forbearance cannct 90,
and the most even tempers will become ruff
fled at it. Atthe Assizes, held during the
past year, at Lincoln, England, both Judge
and counsel had much trouble to make the
timid witnesses, upon trial, speak sufici-
emily loud to be heard by the jury. and i, is
possible that the temper of the counsel NAV
thereby have been turned aside from the
even tenor Of its way-and the more likely,
perhaps, owing to his feeling himself to be
a man of considerable importance since he
had married dowager Duchess. After this
gentleman had gone through the various
stages of bar pleading, and had coazed,
threatened, and even bnlied Witnesses, there
was one called into the box, a young ostler,
who appeared to be simplicity personifed.
"Now, sir,'' said the above-named coun-
sci, in tone which, at any other time, would
have been denounced as WI carly loud, II
hope we shall have no difficulty in making
you speak out"
II hope not. sir,' was shouted, or rather
beloved out by the witness, in tones which
almost shook the building, and would have
certainly alarmed any timid or nervous lady.
GLOW dare you speak in that way, sir %
"Please sir, can't speak no louder, sir,''
said the astonished witness. attempting to
shout louder than before, evidently thinking
the fault TO be his speaking too low.
."Pray, sir, have you been drinking this
morning?' shouted the counsel, who had
now thoroughly lost the last remnant of his
temper.
j.. eyes, sir,'' was the reply. ..'
"And what have you been drinking''
"Coffee, SIR"
"And what did you have in your coffee:"
shouted the exaspera,ed counsel.
"A spoon, sir" was the answer, innocent
ly spoken, amid the roars of the whole
court, excepting only the now thoroughly
wild counsel, who flung down his brief and
rushed out of the Court 70.
