WEATHER SlGSs.-The British board of trade
have deemed the following " signs" reliable enough
to. warrant their publication for the benefit, Of
mariners -.
"A bright yellow sky indicates wind; a pale
yellow, wet; neutral gray color constitutes a
favorable sign in the evening-an unfavorable sign
in the morning. The clouds are full of meaning in
themselves If their forms are soft, underlined and
feathery the weather will be fine; ifthe edges are
hard, sharp and definite, it will be foul. Generally
speaking any deep unusual lines betoken wind or
rain, while the more quiet and delicate tnts bespea
fair weather" - f-'AaafA' 81.

Twilight Musings.

II e the twilight hour. The sun basjdst .disap-
peared benath the western horizon, which is veiiei
with gorgeous tinten clouds. Some bright as bur
nshed gold, are mingled with those of crimson and
purple hue, presenting snch scene as no artist,
however skillful, can successfully initiate; while
far away towards the zenith white leecy clouds,
rendered more beautiful by the contrast with the
azure blue Of heayen, The earth slbathed in the
mellow light reflected from the sky, and quiet re-
mains unbroken by the hum Of business, or the
cares OF the day.
IT'S nm hour in which love to seek soma quiet
place, aud then resign myself wholly TO its infu-
ence. Wherever we turn our eyes, objects Of bau-
ty are seem for earth-though always beautiful
appears far more lovely when viewed through tho
failing light of day. How fitting is the hour Of
twilight for meditation. AS all nature sinks TO rest
The soul too lis cahred. Then is the heart most
tender,--for fond memories are stealing Der it
memories of the time when were less selfish, less
sinful; and with them comes an ardent and long
ing wish to attain to something better and holier.
We think Of days gone by, and the happy scene 5
which we then, participated in, Our childhood
home rises before us and each familiar face of that
loved family circle-now scattered and broken, is
viewed again by fancy 8 eye and again we hear
their wei known voices but when we would greet
them, nought is seen but the twilight shadows
But who shall say that though invisible to NOR
tai eyes, our friends do not sometimes hover DER
us.Y TO nue., it has ever been pleaeant thought,
to thipk that those are loved on earth, and who
have gone before us to realms of bliss might some-
times be permitted to be near, and inanence u.s.
Our absent friends win oHen appear before us in
our musing hour, aud we love TO greet them. Memo
ries golden chain viii bind us to the past how
ever bright the future may appear. The twilight
hour is the hour of prayer. When our hearts are
calm and peaceful all things eonspre to raise our
souls to Him, who created this fair ear th on which
we dwell as well as the innumerable host of glori-
oas orbs which are now speaking the armament.
The uncertainty and instability Of earthly things
changes, and with heart BUNDLED and patient, will
we seek Him at the twilight hour.
