throughout the amplitudes Of space,
Sunday was Of the same stamp
cold,cloudy, and checrless--no day for
the pretty ones to shine out in their light
spring attire--muslins, lawns, spring"
kiss.mc-quicks, low necks, and light
colored slippers &c, but choice day
for blankets, furS, cloaks and over
coats. IN the evening however, a short
time before sunset, we were fully
compensated for the four fiiths OF the
day that had passed off in clouds and
piercing winds, by the bursting ont Of
the sun, and the joy manifesto by the
winged worshippers."
o, thought we "lhe good time is COM
ing" for you in particular, gentlemen
farmers, and last though not least, TOR
you lady gardeners, more particularly
in attention toyour gardens, poul'
try and so on.
Monday morning came sure enough,
but old John Frost came along with
il and knocked calculatonsin the head.
IT'S true the morning was a bright
one, and u few frogs made an effort to
sing, but they had taken so much cold'
and were attended with such Wheel
ing, that they gave it over for bad
Job. The sun was somewhat warm
about noon, and even invited few
mats out to sport in its beauteous rays.
Night came on in clouds and renewal
Of northern principles.
Tuesday morning presented us with
small snow and plenty Of ice again.
The clouds diperse, the sun comes out
and shines prettily, but the breath of
the North had the smell of ice all day
long,
Wednesday morning, cold and toll
crably clear. By noon the sun is lost
in smoke and clouds, with new sup
ply Of northern feeling. The sun
goes down in thick dark clouds, while
the signs betoken small sprlnkllng
more of northern sentiment--snow,
hail, sIeet, or ice cream, or some cool
ing luxury, such as our Arctic friends
in the land of Spitzbergen and Nova
Zembla daily enjoy.
Thursday-This morning, like most
Of its recent predecessors, is not glad
dened by the radiant beams OF the
rising sun, nor the sweet music OF
cheerful birds. Clouds, dark and dense,
envelop the celestial dome; but "the
smoke that so gracefully curls" above
the many chimneys in view, as it scars
aloft into higher regions, indicates a
continuance Of northern proclivities,
while it gives mighty evidence OF a
heavy and healthy atmosphere near
the earth's surface. Between eight
and nine o'clock, the sun bursts forth
dash.ng the clouds about into contu-
sion, and throwing them into small
clusters, anon they sail off where fly
ing clouds always go. While the same
good old sun that has been for 5000
years serving US so faithfully warns
up the system to a fair temperature o
southern feeling, northern dlspatche
pour in upon us, reporting however,
considerable modification in favor @
liberal principles. April refuses t.
continue any longer submissionist t
northern dictation, and claims to sc
up for herself, the balance ofher time
upon Constitutional ground. In
North having instituted a charge
I latitudinous construction Of the Coz
stitution against old February in bo
, rowing so largely Of southern sent
lnent from April, forces herto pay u

: having pretty we'll shaken OFT 1t
n northern membranes, asserts h'
@ determination to keep out foreigne
e and northern fanatics during the r
d mainder of her administration, Eat g
Is hazards and to the last extremity.
