How sleep the brave who sink to rest
BY all their country's wishes blest!
When Spring, with dewy fingers cold,
Returns to deck their hallowed MOULD,
She there shall dress q sweeter sod
Than Fancy's feet have ever trod.
By fairy hands their knell is rung;
BY forms unseen their dirge is sung;
There honor comes, a pilgrim gray,
To bless the turf that wraps their clay;
And Freedom shall awhile repair,
To dwell weeping hermit there.

HOW TO FoFBrELL WEATHER.

In 4 manual Of the barometer, compiled by rear
admiral Fitzroy, and Just published By the board
IF trade the following useful observations occur
Whether clear or cloudy, rosy sky at sunset
denotes fine weather; red sky in the morning
bad weather. or much wind perhaps rain; high
dawn. wind; and low dawn, fair weather. Soft
looking or delicate clouds foretel fine weather,
with moderate or light breezes; hard edged, oily
looking clouds, wind. A dark, gloomy, blue sky,
Is windy but light, blue sky indicates fine
weather. Generally, the softer clouds look, the
less wind but perhaps more rain may be expected;
ard the harder, more greasy" rolled, tufted or
ragged, the stronger the coming wind viii prove.
Also, a bright yellow sky at sunset presages wind;
a pale yellow, wet; and thus, by the prevalence
of red, yellow or gray tints, the coming weather
may be told very nearly; indeed, if aided by IN
gtruments almost exactly Small, inky looking
clouds foretell rain; light, scud clouds driving
across masses show rain and wind; but if alone,
may indicate wind only.
High, upper clouds, crossing the sun, moon or
stars, in a direction different from the lower
clouds, of the wind then felt below, foretell a
change Of wind. When sea birds fly out early
and far to seaward, moderate wind and fair weather
may be expected When they hang about the
land or over it, sometimes flying inland, expect q
strong wind with stormy weather.
There are other signs Of coming change in
the weather known less generally than may be
desirable, and are, therefore, worthy of notice;
such as when birds of long fight-rooks, swal-
lows and others-hang about home and fly up and
down, or low rain and wind may be expected.
Also, when animals seek sheltered places, instead
of spreading over their usual range; when pigs
carry straw to their stycs; when smoke from chin
neys does not ascend readily, or straight upward
during calm, an unfayorable change is probable.
Dew is an indication of fine weather; SO is fog.
Neither Of these formations occur under an over
cast sky or when there is much wind. Cae sees
fog occasionally rolled away, as it were, By wind,
but seldom or never formed while it is blowing

Cure FOR CANcER.-The juice of the sheep
sorrel, put in pewter plate and exposed to the
sun until it becomes the consistence Of salve,
then applied to the Cancer and repeated until the
latter falls out with all its fbers Severe pain
accompanies the operation-but the cure is certain.
This told me by lady who witnessed the
process The face Of the sufferer whore the
cancer was, became much infamed and swollen
and the pain excruciating and when it dropped
out had the appearance of large spiders legs.
The cavity was deep, but soon healed and filled
up, and there was never return of the disease
