A Street Incident.-While friend Of ours
was lesurely promenading Pennsylvania avenue,
on Monday, sudden puff Of wind unceremoni-
ously removed his hat from his head, and whisked
il at rapid speed along the pavement. Our
friend, as if suddenly converted into locomotive
engine, darted along the track and overlook his
castor before il had travelled half mile. gen.
tleman, who had complaisanty halted TO witness
the proceedings, and who seemed TO enjoy them,
was about 10 resume his walk, whcn entirely un-
expected 10 himself and Of course to his mortif-
cation, his hat too, was blown off He immedl-
ately started in pursuit, but was unable to over
take il; and somehow il was lost to him forever.
Faint, weary, and broken-down, he darted into the
first hat-siore which he reached and purchased
another hat. Our friend Hendley thus realized
the truth Of the old adage that tits an i'll wind

they who love to view the works Of nature, every
where spread abroad to delight the eye and ele-
vate the moral sentiment have, of late been graft
fled with the exhibition of sunsets in the highest
degree rich and incomparably magnificent. As
instance, on Sunday evening there was a
lovely display. The sun retired in an efnlgence
Of purple and gold, and, as the night was closing
in, the horizon seemed 10 be resting on dense
dark basis, and above it, stretching from north TO
south, was broad strip of purple, which paled
away upwards into cherry-bush and into lighter
hues, presenting the aspect Of rainbow. The
clear blue sky softly blended with the variegated
semicrcle, and high up in the heavens blazed the
evening star above, in all its crowning glory.
