afterst But in this last desperate throw, die
the wording gain the wealth, station, anG
honor he coveteds He had welded the onl,
child OF man whose treasure might be
counted by hundred of thousands; but, ir
doing so, he had failed TO secure the fathers
approyal.or confidence. The stern old man
regarded him as mercenary iuterloper and
ever treated him as such. For FIVE years
therefore, he fretfed and ehafed in the nanow
prison whose gilded bars bis own hands had
forged. How often, during that time, had
his heart wondered back to the dear old
home. and. the beloved ones with whom he
had paseed.his early years. And ah! how
many, many times came between him and
the almost hated countenance Of bis wife,
the gentle, loving face of that one to whome
he had been false! How often her soft blue
eyes rested on bis own! How often he
started and looked up suddenly, as if ber
sweet voice came floating ON the air.
And SO the years moved on, the chain
calling more deeply, and a. bitter sense Of
humiliation as well as bondage robbing him
of all pleasure 10 life.
Thus it is with him when, after ten years,
we find him waiting 10 the chamber Of death
for the stroke that is to break the fetters that
SO long bound him. 1t has fallen. He is
free again. In dying, the sufferer made no
sign. Sullenly she plunged into the dark
profound, SO impenetrable to mortal eyes,
and as the turbid waves closed, sighimg over
her, lie who had called her wife turned from
the couch on which her frail body remained,
with an inward "thank God! l am man
again!'
One more bitter drug yet remained for his
cup. Not a. week had gone before the faith
er Of his wife spoke to him these cutting
"You were nothing to me while my
daughter lived-you are less than nothing
now. 1t was my wealth, not my child. that
you loved. She has passed away. What
affection would have given to her, dislike,
will never bestow on you. Henceforth we
are strangers
When next the sun went down on that
stately mansion, which the weath-seeker
had coveted, he was wanderer again poor,
Inundated, broken in spirit
How bitter had been the mockery of all
his earthly hopes! How terrible the pun
ishment he had suffered!

From the above table 1t appears that
the mean annual temperature for the
present year is less than that of lasi
year By nearly 40, and is nearly tht
same as the annual temperature of Bos
ton FOR 90 years, of New Bedford for Al
years, and of Albany fer % years.
During the months of May, June, Ju-
Is, August, September and October,
there was less variation in temperature
than is usual in corresponding months
In this locality ; and it was at no time
very high, the highest being 90; but
in the winter months the temperature
sas unusually low and continuously SO
for a length oftime-the lowest observed
temperature being 80. The number
Of days at which the mercury was at and
below zero since the 9th of December,
1855, was 81. Number of days on
which it remained all day below zero,
swas2, viz: the 9Th and 9th of January.
Number Of times it was observed below
zero, 80, in two months-the wind vas
generally from the n. n. W., or other
northerly points, while the mercury was
below zorro, unless at two observations,
when it was s. E. CHASING together
the rainy and snowy" days, We have
sli2 days on which either rain or snow
fell. The corresponding number for
last year was s.. During these liz
days, upwards of Go inches Of water have
fallen to the ground SO inches in the
form of rain and 8 inches melted water
from snow. For a like period last year
the amount Of rain and vas a lit
Gle over 46 inches. Now, it may be
asked, why this difference ? To ana
lyze and synthesizs all tho elements en-.
tering this problem woald not be COM
pasibie with our present limits, but we
u1y say that q reference to the table of
winds for the past two years mag assist
uamcch in comprehendipg some Of the
conditions necessary to its solution.
Solomon inyokes the south Wiad " that
his spices may flow OUT" o reference to
abe geography of the country in which
be wrote, explains the reason Of the ill.,
vocation. A south wind contains more
moisture, generally speaking, than any
other north of the equator, for the rea-
son that it contains a portion OF the
trade winds, and also because its eleya-
ted temperature causes it to take up
more moisture in its passage, especially
If it passes over large bodies of water.
Mon a wind from any southern point,
blowing on this, or any part of the North
American Continent, passes over large
bodies Of water, and by virtue of its 81.
exsted temperature, brings With it large
quantities Of moisture-l-I5th to l-4Oth

These circumstances combined, if con-
tinuous for several days in succession,
