tie gentle-hearied youth who is thrown upon

loneliness and desolaiion, which comes down
upon the spirit like darkness upon The sarah-
In this mood, his bes impulses become a

MBIA COUNTY. PA. WEDNESDAY, MARCH Is, 1857

descry some yet fresh from the family altar
of a rural home. "Who did that deed of
darkness" is yet painful mystery; ii is
quite too certain that there has bee foul
murder done 10 conscience and 10 character
within those walls long before the saroier's
moose was slipped and the assassn's poigu-
ard driven TO :he heart. Heaven save YOU
my dear young friend from the "manhood"
OF lawless libertinsm And Heaven save
our great metropolis, when its Brussels car
pet Is stained with blood and the quiet of its
s'atellest streets is broken by the midnish,
shrek of murder -

THE WrATHrR.-A gentleman Of Tennessee,
writing To the editor Of the Nashville American,
makes the following singular statement in regard
to the cold weather:
Mesyry Editors An all wise Providence
has seen proper in the arrangement Of the sea-
son thus far to give us five months Of winter in
place of three, as usual. 1t will be recOllected
that some time in February last, strange star
or comet appeared in the armament, some three
hours behind the evening star, running in the
same direction in few weeks it ran up near
the evening star, which was little below at that
time, and while opposite to each other, the
moon passed between them, an uncommon sight
to beLold-such one have never before seen,
though am old. That star or comet has passed
swiftly on, and there is no doubt in my mind
but it has oyertaken and now is between the
sun and earth, which is the cause OF this cold
weather. It's present location ohstructs the
warming rays Of the sun from rejecting upon
the earth. You will rccollect, if you have no
tced, that the sun has not since the latter part
of March shown in his strength even III the
clearest days he has appeared to shine diInly
and without his warming influence, as though
he was in eclipse. -,
II the above sur1nises are correct: there Will
yet be several days of gloom, and when the OBJ
struction has entirely passed away, then the
rays of the sun will be more oppressive than If
the season had rolled on as usual.
N. B-Will some Of those who understand
the science Of this subject give Us thought on
h2 }. G.

Instead Of roosting Us the chickens do, it takes
position OH the ROSTERS back, who bears the
weight of his little friend with great good nature
But the most singular of all is, that it has
learned to crow like cock, and crows regular
ly, more frequently than the rooster, and seems
to be vain of its accomplishment. 1t isa bona
tide crow, clear and loud, similar to that of a
young rooster. The bird can be seen and heard
daily, and if any cne doubts its truth, they can
be convinced by seeing and hearing for them
selves. The age is progressive, and the birds are
keeping up with the times. 4 Republican edi-
tor thinks it an "omen" that the day Is ap-
proachinE when the black race will be admitted
To social equality with the whites.
