of what the whole family, from the nur-
sery to the kitchen, could do for her re-
lief.
While every servant was there helping
or lamenting their mistress, he, fixing his
check to hers, seemed to be following in
a trance of sorrow but secretely whis-
pers to her:
My dear, this will never do: what is
within my power and fortune you may
always command but none of your ar
tifces; you are quite in other hands than
those you passed these pretty passions
upon"
This made her almost in the condition
she pretended her convulsion now came
thicker, nor was she to be held down.
The kind man doubles his care: helps
the servants to throw water in her face
by full quarts; and, when the sinking
part of the fit came again:
"Well, my dear" said he, Il applaud
your actions; but l must take my leave
of you till you are more sincere with me ;

RE BAROMETERS wEATHER.WISE ?

ARE BAROMEIEhS WEAIhEn."ASL
Mr.. EDITOR :--Barometers are not om-
nicient. All they can do is, to weigh
the atmosphere over the place where they
are hung. This indicates something, but
not everything. A sudden fall of the
mercurial column shows sudden dimin-
ution of the atmospheric column over it.
and this implies that there will soon be a
rushing in of the heavier air around.
This may prove to be only a squall OF
wind, or it may be accompanied by al
thunder storm. If the barometer sinks
slowly, day by day, rain storm may be
expected, if it fall considerably; but af-
ter slight descent it may alter its course
and go up again, and no rain will fall.
Easterly, drizzly rains on the seacoast are
not indicated by the barometer, for they
come merely from the condensed, moist
air from the ocean, and there is no change
in the atmospheric pressure necessarily
preceding this drift current.
There are other things to be considered
in our cndeavors to foretell the weather,
and I would advise your correspondent,
and all farmers, to read Daniels Meteor
ology, so as to fully understand the sub
iect. After observing the barometer, a
record Of it being regularly kept, let him
also ascertain the dew point, or the tenn
peraturc at which the atmosphere depos-
its its aqueous vapor. This may be very
readily Elected, by taking a silver or q
tin cup, and after first ascertaining the
temperature Of the air in the shade, let
him put some water in the cup, with a
piece of ice, and stir it until moisture be-
gins to deposit on the outside of the cup,
when the thermometer, placed in the wa
ter, will give the temperature This is
the deposition point. Now throw out the
ice, and wipe part of the cup dry, and
wait until after the deposition of slight
film Of moisture, it again disappears.
This is the vporization point. The mean
between the deposition point and the vap-
orization point is the true point. Com
pare this with the temperature of the air,
and note the difference. Suppose it to be
10 degrees Then the air must be cooled
to that extent to cause it to deposit mois.
ture, or to rain If the difference between
the dew point and the temperature Of the
air is but few degrees, there is a high
probability that rain will soon fall.
If the observations are made in the
morning, since the heat will augment, as
the sun approaches meridian, the chances
Of rain will be diminished, by this in.
crossing warmth, but If afternoon, for op
posite reasons the probability Of rair
will be much increased. Indeed, if only
four or five degrees of difference between
the dew point and the temperature of th,
air exists, it will be almost certain t.
rain. AZ Peg
The wet and dry bulb thermometer
will answer the same purpose, and sine,
the wet bulb gives the temperature Of tn,
vaporization point, and the dry bulb give
that of the air, nothing more is rcquir
cd than to observe them and note til,
difference Of temperatures they indicate
/. More reliance may be placed on thi
method than on any observations Of ba
