The great mass of Country residents seem to have
no more conception of the enormous floods of clear,
pure rain water, that annually pour off the roofs OF
their dwellings, woOd-hOuses, barns, sheds, and
other out buildings, than if they had never heard
Of such huge Watering pots as the clouds in the sky.
If all the rain which falls in the northern states
within a year should remain upon the surface OF
the earth, without sinking into it and running off,
it would form an average debth of water of about
three feet. In the Southern States it would be
more in the American tropics it would amount to
about ten feet; near Bombay in Asia, to twenty
five feet.
Every inch Of rain that falls on n roof yields two
barrels to every space ten feet square and seventy
two barrels are yielded by the annual rain in this
climate on n similar surface. A barn thirty by
forty feet, yields annually 364 barrels, this is enough
for more than two barrels a day for every day in
the year. Many Of our medium landlords have,
however, at least five times that amount of roofing
on their dwellings and other buildings yielding
more than four thousand barrels Of rain water, or
about twelve barrels, or about one hundred and
fifty ordinary p%ailfuls, daily. A very small portion
of this great quantity is caught in the contemplate
cistcrns and tubs placed to catch it; but full sized
capacious reservoirs, fit to hold this downward
deluge, we know not where to find, even in a single
instance.
1t is true, that where a constant draught is
made on Il cistorn, it need not hold the full years
supply even one sixth part will in general answer,
as the variations in the wet and dry seasons do not
amount to more than the rain OF two months

A HINDOO WEDDING.

1t is well known in England that the Uindoos
marry or arc betr0thed very young: and also. that
the fair sex is 50 confined to the house, that the
young women, after they are ten or twelve wears of
age, see no male persons, not even their own bro
theirs. The houses of wealthy persons are all con-
structed so that they have no windows that look
into the streets, but are built in squares, the win
dows looking into the interior. The only entrance
is by one large gate, where the dooytcan' or portcr.

The London correspondent of the Spirit Of the

Who has just come into favor in that city, says:
4" Another Burns has arisen, in the person o
icrald Mnssey-thc poet of lnbor--onc who en-
to raise the class he sprung from to thu
enjoyment Of the amenities Of independence nnt
right-softens 1t to the enjoyment of domestic com

that every one may read him."
The following poem is from the pen of the aboy
High hopes that burn'd like stars sublime,
Go down i the heavens of freedom
And true hearts perish in tho time
We Atterlicst need EN-
But never sit we down and say,
Theirs nothing left but sorrow;
We walk the wilderness to-day,
The promised land tomorrow.
Our birds of song are silent now,
There arc no flowers blooming
Yet life bears in tho frozen bough,
And freedoms tide comes up Away,
Though we may strand in sorrow
And our good bark aground to-day,
Shall float again tomorrow.
Through all the long, dark night Of years
The peoples cry ascendeth,
And earth is wet with blood and tears:
But our meek suferance endeth
The few shall not fer ever sway,
The many roll in sorrow
The powers of hell arc strong to-day,
But Christ shall rise tomorrow.
Though hearts brood DER the past, our eyes
With smiling future glistcn I!
For, 10 Cur day bursts zap the skies:
Lean out your souls and listen
The world rolls freedoms radiant way,
And ripcns with her sorrow
Keep heart! who bears the cross to-day,
Stall wear the crown tomorrow.
o, youth! fam earnest, still aspire.
With energies immortal!
To many a heaven of desire
Our yearning opes a portal!
And though age wearics by the way.
And hearts break in the furrow,
Well sow the golden grain to-day
The harvest comes tomorrow.
Build up heroic lives, and all
Be like a sheathcn sabre,
Ready to flash out at Gods call,
o, chivalry of labour!
Triumph and toll are twins: and ago
Joy suns the cloud of sorrow
And It's the martyrdom to-day,
Brings victory tomorrow.

We believe we may safely affirm, however that

provides for reciprocal free trade in certain articles
between the States and the Provinces that i, se-
cures to American vessels the privilege of navigat

exports especially the duty ON manufactured to

treaty. 1t will be observed, the other hand that
it does concede the right OF registry to British
built vessels in the ports of the United States and
that it does not throw open our coastwise commerce

The Enquirer commends the treaty go far as it
accompishes an extension of the principles of free
trade and removes the causes of controversy which
