THE WEATHER TBICKENISG.-We have fJrsot-
ten Pr lessor Espys indicstory signs Of an ap'
preaching storm, but, jadgi0g from atmospheric
appearance would say on our orn responsibility
that there is one not very far of. The sun las'
night set before reaching the horizon, and the
moon wa, up several degrees before she showed
her face in addition to this portentious settling
of the heavy vapors which brew the rain and call
up tue piping winds, there was az mackerel sky
as we have seen for long time. The arch ovar'
head was hecked with a regular cloud'pit!ern 10
alto relieve, sivered on side by the full moon,
ard rounding eff into shadow on the other. II We
don't have another storm Of some kind within
few deyf our iaith in our own weather perceptions
will be much shaken.

OF country sIdscape which is most accessible 70
the denizens Of our metropoiis-the woods and
shores OF Hoboh en-. Passing that delightful spot
two days ego, on the deck OF one OF our nozzle river
steamers, we were newly struck with the richness
of the foliage and the charming glimpies that open
through the trees to the fields and meadoys inter.
vepips between them and the loot Of the nights
We lopeed TO set foot on shore and ram5le through
those "populous solitudes "-peopltd, every fair
afternoon, with delighted refugees from our Gro Eded
and dusty precincts

MADAME WEHSERT's PHOToTYFEs.-We have
already spoken Of Madame Wehnerts specimens
of Phototypy, a newly discovered branch OF the
Daguereosype art. The first impression which
is taken or paper chemically prepared, gives the
outlines of the subject, with the lights aud shad-
ows rather more strongly marked than in the
Daguereotype. The picture il then finished by
hand, either in sept, India ink or water coors.
Beside the soft and pleasing expression OF the pic
lures communicated by tbs las operation, they
can be seen in any light as distinc;y asa water
color painting. Madam Wehnert possesses q
happy artistic fec lily for arranging sltteI 10 the
lisht aud posture mo.t favorable chIac'eristic
porttsit. and her pictures OF President Fillmore
