THE WEATEER.

March came in like q lamb, but could not long
continue passive and docile; blustery days have
been frequent enough TO- remind one constantly
that this month is far from being tranquil and un-
disturbed by bowling winds and fierce blasts
But on nMonday last the acme of capriciousness
was REACHED. Light clouds of leaden hue in The
early morn denoted weather" of some sort, and
fora hour or 50 after breakfast there was smart
sprinkle of snow7aakes, falling first gently and
then with triple energy. Soon the. sky grew
brighter, and at noon we reveled in delicious,
balmy atmosphere, but before night the air was
chilly and uncomfortable. Verify, that was sufh-
cient variety for a.single day! eszz ''-z ?

- Secretary Mccuoch has written letter to
several leading Republican Congressman, in which
he says he feels much anxiety about the political
situation, and very much desires that something
shall be done to restore harmony between the
Government and the Southern States. He thinks
that one step in this direction would result from
full and free conference between the leading North
ern men and the leading Southern men now in
New York. He suggests that the persons to whom
his noie is addressed invite Governor Parsons,
among others.

In these QayS OF SclHSHHeSS dHU ~
lis well perhaps, for every one to examine his own
heart, and there to find the motives which prompt
him to speak i'll of his neighbor Let each one
search into the history Of the great men of the
earth, and the resultof that research will be, to
conclude with common and universal consent, that
magnanimity of heart, unsel6shness of spirit has
contributed largely to, if indeed, it has not been
the oyerruling element in their characters. And
that god-ke spirit has not only been exhibited IN
acts of broad and general application but ofttimes
the haunts of misery and woe have been visited,
and the unhappy inmates not only blessed by their
kind words and gracious benefces, but even those,
before accustomed to vice and degradation, have
by these means, been raised up to occupy eminent
and useful positions, and their offspring taught to
bless the bencfactor.
| Persuasion, and not force is the means which
not only moves the hearts of men, but it is the
great chain which binds those hearts to him who
uses it, Then reader, if your friend has stumbled
from the path of love, friendship or even virtue,
harsh words will but harden his heart against you
ifyou use them-=thcy will have tendency also,
to make the chafed spirit restiye and reckless and
drive it still further into morbid excess.
Go, then, gentle reader. this day, and by kind
words and acts of love, lead back that strayine
brother. Point him to the blissful abode, whose
Paternaz Chief is very love, and whose laws BIND
its loving inmates to him and each other for long
eternity. Point him back to childhood's happy
yeare, when love reigned, without rival, in the
hearts of that juvenile band, of which himself was
one; and tell him. that though that happy band has
been dissolved by death-yet, the love of God vii
move him to re-unite them again around the grea
white throne-and that yourself and he are alike
attached to that bright home and its joyous in
mates, by living hope. Woo him thus to God
and your own soul will reap rich reward:
.Think gently of the erring
Ye know not of the power
| With which the dark temptation came,
In some unguarded hour.
We may not know how earnestly
They struggled, or how well,
Until the hour of weakness came,
And sadly thus they fell.
"Think gently of the erring!
OH do not thou forget,
However darkly stained by sin,
He is thy brother yet,
Heir of the self-same heritage,
Child of the self-same God
He hath but stumbled in the path,
Thou hast in weakness trod.
"Speak gently to the crring!
For is it not enough
That innocence and peace have gone,
Without thy censure rough!
1t sure, must be weary lot
That sin-crushcd heart to bear,
And those who share happier fate,
Their chidings we'll may spare.
"Speak kindly to the erring!
Thou mayst yet lead them back,
| With holy words, and tones Of love,
From misery's thorny track.
Forget not thou hast sinned,
And sinful yet must be
Deal gently with the erring one
As God has dealt with thee"

Words Without Rhymes.

Poets have often been puzzled to find
rhymes for particular words. 1t is said
that there is no word in the English Ian
guage which fairly rhymes with "step" or
"month." Byron says that it is impossible
to find rhyme for the word +" silver"
Every little while some inquisitive genius
procla:ms that particular word is without
rhyme, and challenges the world to dis
prove his assertion. Forthwith many peo-
pie cudgel their brains, and sometimes do
produce the desired word. Some years ago
the Knickerbocksr offered brsss quarter
dollar to the person who could find rhyme
to the word "window." The prize was
earned by the following effort, which fur
nishes the rhyme and has some fun in it as
we'll:
&C A cruel man beetle caught,
And to the wall he pinned oh
Then said the beetle to the crowd,
Though Pm stuck up am not proud,
And his soul Went out at the window"
Somebody challenged rhyme for "car-
pet," and the following was the best pro-
duction ELECTED, called "Lines to Pretty
BARNARD ~
Sweet maid of the inn,
'Tis surely no sin
TO toast such beautiful bar pet,
Believe me, my dear,
At home on nobleman's carpet"
A line ending with " harp it'' also came
near to the mark. A rhyme was found in
Timbuctoo, as follows:
ST went a hunting on the plains,
@ The plains of Timbuctoo;
I shot one buck for all my pa ms,
And he was a slim buck too"

Dress Well.

1t is the duty of all men, young and old,
to make their persons, SO far as practicable,
agreeable to those with whom they are
thrown in contact. By this, we mean that
they should not offend by singularity nor
soveliness. Let no man know by your ap
pearance what trade you follow. You dress
your person, not your business. BE careful
to mould the fashion of the times to your
own personal peculiarities. Fashion is to be
your servant, not your master. Therefore
never dress in the extreme of fashion.
Only adopt it as far as is consistent with
your face and figure That which will be-
come one man ill becomes another; and for
all to follow the same model, is obviously
absurd. The exercise of a little judgment
on your part will enable you to adopt 80
much Of the prevailing style in your dress
as to show that you are acquainted with the
fashion, without sacrificing your personal
appearance for the scrupulous conformity
to its laws. The best possible impression
you can make by your dress, is to make no
separate impression at all, but to harmonic
its material and shape with your own fig-
ure, that it becomes part of you; and peo-
pie, without recollecting how you were
clothed, remember that you looked well,
and were dressed becomingly. ~
An objection may be urged here that at
tention to dress is dangerous. We think
not. Extravaganza is dangerous, but ex-
travagantly-dressed people are seldom
dressed we'll We constantly meet multi
tudes of people dressed in every magma
BILE style. Hereis one in the best of broad
cloth and the costliest jewelry, but who
looks exceedingly vulgar; here another,
habited plainly, but in good taste, is gen.
tlemanly in his appearance at half the cost.
Snowy and faring clothes argue mental
poverty Of the wearer. The secret Of be-
ing well dressed is but the exercise of judy
ment and good sense-it invariably requires
more care than cash I; and instead Of max
ing young man extravagant, it is saving
of half the money it would cost Ito clothe
him in the vulgar and pretending style
which SO many, adays, unfortunately
adopt

MIR. OsbaIdestOn --- His Great
Match against Time

The London Field gives the following par
ticulars; ellis greatest feat was his match
against time at Newmarket, which he made
with Col. Charrettie, and in which he under
took to ride 200 miles in ten hours, on an
unlimited number of horses, for 1000
guineas side. Rarely, if ever before, had
a match excited so much interest, and heavy
sums of money were depending upot it. The
squire took extraordinary pains to get him
self fit, riding go niles of morning, and
shooting cartridges in the afternoon to take
the stiffness out,of his joints. At length
the eventful day, the 9th of November,
arrived, and the undertaking commenced on
the Round course, beginning and finishing
at tb e Dukes stand. To add to the arduous
nature of the feat, the weather was of the
most frightful nature, the rain pouring down
in torrents, and the wind blowing perfect
hurricane; still our hero was in no way
disconnected, and accomplished his first 20
miles in So minutes In doing the 48 miles,
which he covered in Oh, min, 5 Sec, he
was somewhat delayed by Clasher, his favor
tie steeple chaser, breaking down badly, and
being only able to trot home. Shortly after
this round, Mr.. Osbaldeston took mouth
full Of brandy and water. Sixty miles had
now been done in Oh, 33 min, and the time
no doubt, would have been shortened, but
Emma, the mare he was riding at the time,
ran the wrong side Of the post, and had to
be turned. Having run 100 miles In Oh. ii /
min., he rested for six minutes and half,
and lunched on cold partridge and brandy
and water, and although wet to the skin, he
refused to put on fresh clothes. In the 3lst
round, on Ikey Solomons, the hope of the
hackers of time was revived by the squire
being thrown, and he seemed so distressed
that 1000 to 100 was laid he did not perform
the distance in nine hours. At length on
the 5Oth round, he was declared the winner,
having galloped the 200 miles in hours AZ
minutes, so that, deducting the hour ~
minutes So seconds, the whole distance was
ridden over in hours Is minutes and 4
seconds, or at the rate Of 26 miles an hour.
It might have been imagined that such tax
/ on his constitution would have knocked him
I up for time; but such was the iron nature
of his frame that, after a warm bath, and
couple of hours between the sheets, he
shook off his fatigue and dined with Mr..
Gully and number of friends, as if moth
ing had happened. We are sorry, however,
to remark that his money was not well got
ON, and that he only won some 81, 800 by
his herculean feat after deductiDg the me-
cessary expenses. The best horse he rode
on the occasion was Tranby, who, in the
9th heat, did the four miles in eight min
utes, which was astonishing, considering
Mr. Osbaldeston rode II stone 2 lbs. This
wonderful feat remains without parallel
as it was never accomplished before; it was
performed on that eventful day at Newman
ket, the 5th of November, 1881; nor has il
been attempted since. Osbaldeston used
% horses on that occasion.
