The Winds.
IIBdII IUTONJT,
S0merS, His.

The ancients believed that the winds
issued from cavern at the command
of Jove, and they were under the con
troll offour deities, to whom the Phpni-
clans, Greeks and others erected tenl-
pies. We now however know that the
wind is merely air in the state of mo-
ton, and that by waving the hand to
and fro, or blowing our breath, we may
produce wind on small scale. When
the air, at any particular place, is heat
ed by the direct action of the suns rays
or radiation, it rises because of its
lightness, and cold air from the sur
rounding localities rushes i'll to fill its
place. A common door will illustrate
this; if we partially open the door Of
a warm room and hold light near the
top, the fame will be blown outwards
by the heated air escaping and if we
hold it at the bottom, the fame will
be blown inward by the cold air rush
ing IN to supply the place of the heated
air that has escaped. In particular
parts Of the tropical regions, where the
air becomes highly heated by the sun
there is a constant rushing of air to
these points, from east to west, and thus

They blow in the same direction tor

This local action of the sun on vast
areas of land and water produces sew

monsoon, which blow, from the south to
the north, being trade winds turned
round by the heat of land lying within
the tropics; the simeon is burning

QUIET as. FUss.-It is amusing to
notice how, in some parts of the world,
noise and pretension pass for power
and merit. In reading the life of Watt.
the inventor, recently published, we
find in his correspondence paragraph
which both illustrates this popular mfr
nifty of judgment, and exhibits the
pleasant humor of the great machinist
Writing to his partner, respecting one
of the first steam engines put in opera

Fortune in a Gust Of Wind

The good lack Of a shepherd boy
is Just now ''thc shruy" OF Paris. Count
s. and his charming wife were
passengers in one Of the railway trains
in Germany, and at few legues from
Heidelburg, thcj Counts hat was blown
off as he CHANGED to put his head out
of the window. As it was Il valuable
Panama, the owner made record OF
his loss at the next station, and gave his
address in the city, where it could be
brought to him if found.
Some days passed, and the count and
his lady were walking in the gay prone
made where the roulette table forms the
principal feature, when a railway con
ductor approached with the missing hat,
1t had been carried great distance by
the wind, but was brought in at last by
a shepherd boy, little fellow thirteen
years of age, who had found it amongst
the hills where he followed his focks.
"Could you find the poor lad again, .
asked the Count, " and give him this
little recompense ?" But as he PIT
wo gold peices in the conductors hand
the Countess made suggestion.
Suppose, instead Of sending it tC
him you first try its luck on the table
You know the proverb; To the innocent
full hands. What he wins we will SEM
to him and if he loses, why, we viii
make it up"
The count assented, and the two loui.
doris were placed upon one Of the mum
bers Of the table. Round went TIN
wheel andthe little sheph'rds fortune wa
made. Ten thousand francs came up t.
this number
The messenger was waiting, and til

SEcTAR1ANIsh.-During anniversary
week in New York city, the American
Congregational Union had collation..
which, judging from the reported pro-
ceedingS, must hayesbeen one of the
p!easantest occasions of the kind which
ever took place. Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher presided, and the brilliant wit
tlclS'ns which escaped from his lips and
hose Of the other speakers, were like
brilliant display of fireworks, with the
only difference of being more pleasing
and durable in their impressions. Am
ong other good things that were said,
was the following good hit at sectarian-
ism, by Rev Mr.. Scudder, returned
missionary of the Dutch Reformed
Church
a Hindoo proverb says, "Ifyou mol
lily dogs tail with oil, and put it into
splnts, yet you cannot get the crook out
OF 1t. Now, this denominationalism is
the crook, and every man is expected
triumphantly to wag his own PECULIAR

itude. The crook is not in the head,
it is not III the legs; it is not in the heart;
It is in the tail. Renewed laughter.
Our dcnominationaIism is the tail end
OF us, and if you cut it clean off, we
would be just as well off as before; and
the fact is, there are many breeds that
are supposed to be improved by chopp-
ing off their tails when they are young.
