Tell us what happened afterwards.
10 which the story-teller answered de-
liberately:
"If it please your majesty, it is impos-
sible to tell what happened afterward be-
fore tell what happened first"
And he went on:
Sand then another locust went in and
carried of another grain Of corn, and
then another locust went in and carried of
another grain of corn, and then another
locust went in and carried of another
grain of corn.'
The king listened with unconqucrable
patience for six months more, when hs
again interrupted him with:
"Oh friend! l am weary with your
locusts. How soon do you think they will
have done?"
"Oh, King! who can tell? At the
time to which my story has come, the To-
Gusts have cleared small place--it may
be a cubit each way around the hole-and
the air is still dark with locdsts on all
sides. But let the King have patience,
and no doubt we shall have come to the
end of them in time-say forty or fifty
years hence-but then they each return
after discharging their burden and wait
patiently for another grain of corn"
Thus encouraged, the King listened on
with patience for another year, the story
teller going on as before:
"And another locust went in and car
ried off another grain of corn, and then
another locust went in and carried of
another grain of corn, and then another
another locust went in and carried off an
other grain of corn, and then another To-
Gust went in and carried off another grain
of corn, and then another locust went in
and carried away another grain of corn,
and then another locust went in and car
ried off another grain of corn.'
AT last the King could stand it no long
er, and he cried ont:
'Oh! man that is enough! Take my
daughter! take my kingdom take any
thing! everything! only let me hear no
more of the abominable locusts y"
And the story-teller was married to the
Kings daughter, and was declared heir to
the throne, and nobody ever expressed a
wish to hear the rest of the story, for he
said it was impossible to come to the 9TH
er part of it till he had done with the To-
Gusts

The story without am End.

There was once a certain King, who,
like many Eastern Kings, was very fond
of hearing stories told. To this amusc-
ment he gave up all his time, but was new
er satisfied. The exertions of his court
iers were all in vain. lie at last made a
proclamation that if any man should tell
him story that would last forever, he
would certainly make him his heir and
give him the princess, his daughter, in
marriage; but if any one should pretend
he had such story and should fail-that
is, if the story did come to an end-he
was to have his head cut off.
For such price as a beautiful princess
and kingdom, many candidates appear
ed, and dreadful long stories some of them
told. Some lasted a week, some a month,
and some six months. Poor fellows. they
all spun them out as long as they possibly
could, but all in vain. Sooner or later
they all came to an end, one after another,
and the unlucky story-tellers had their
heads cut off. At last there came man
who said his story would last forever if
his majesty would be pleased to give him
q trial. lie was warned of his danger;
they told him how many had tried it and
lost their heads, but he said he was not
afraid and so he was brought before the
king. He was man Of very composed
and deliberate way of speaking, and after
making all necessary stipulations for his
eating, drinking and sleeping, he thus be-
gan:
"Oh, King there was once king who
was great tyrant; and desiring to in
crease his riches, he seized upon the corn
in his kingdom, and put it in an immense
granary, which was built on purpose, as
high as a mountain. This he did for many
years, until it was quite full to the top
He then stopped the doors and windows
on all sides. But the brick-layer had, by
left a small hole near the top Of
the granury, and there came flight Of To-
Gusts, and tried to get at the corn, but the
hole was SO small that only one locust
could pass through ut time. So one To-
Gust went in and carried off one grain of
corn, and then another locust went in and
carried off another grain of corn, and
then another locust went in and carried of
another grain of corn, and then another
locust went in and carried off another
grain of corn, and then another locust
went in and carried of another grain of
corn"
lie had gone on thus from morning till
night Except when he was engaged at his
meals) for about month, when the King
began to be rather tired with his lOcusts,
and interrupted his story, with:
swell, we'll, we have heard enough of
the locusts; We will suppose they helped

WEATHER PREDICTIONS EoR MAY.-This
month comes in fair and pleasant for few
days, then overcast with wind and rain
Windy, with cold rain or sleet, about the
llth, followed, during the middle of the
month, with good spring weather, and
growing rains-Generally fair and settled
the last week, aud very warm near the
9th, and perhaps thunder-Storms, more
or less, may be expected about the 9th,
llth, 10th, 10th, I'D and 3lst.
There may be other storms during the
month, but those named may be in general
depended upon.
/ expect your readers must have observ-
ed the great error committed in my wealth
er calculations for March, in stating that
about the 10th day it would be extremely
mild, from the effect Of a quartile aspect
Of the planets Jupiter and Saturn, where
as it was just the reverse. This unusual
and powerful aspect always influences ex-
treme weather of some kind, prevailing
sometime previous and sometime after
wards, from being in orbs, or rather with
in the moiety of the two planets orbs.-
The effect is great storms and inundations
in various parts of the world. See the
sad effects of late in America and Europe
Within the last forty years have strict
ly watched six quartile revolutions of these
powerful aspects, and only two of them
have caused extreme cold, and this time is
one Of them, and it occurring SO near the
commencement of the spring quarter made
me suppose the effect would be warm
weather. My predictions since that period,
l think will be conceded, have been in gen.
eral correct.
l ought to have given this explanation in
my last communication, but was then too
unwell. In such difficult study as this l
must be allowed little latitude. S.
Eastman, April 10th, 1867.
Our readers will observe that the TINES
never went much ON signs or predictions,
no matter whence they come, but it is
proper that our friend, Prof. Shaw, Of
Crawford county, Wisconsin, should in
dulge his taste in the weather line his cx-
planation of the "error" committed rs to
the conduct of March is interesting
March never behaved so singularly in our
recollection. The Professor, it will be no.
ticed, has many qualifying words in his
May predictions his March errors proba-
bly, upset his confidence in the behavior Of
the planets. Kindness induces the utmost
" latitude" to MIR. SHAW.

The habit Of drinking can be cured by
giving the drinkers all the liquor they
want all the time. That this experiment
will prove a success we know. It was
tried on man in Milwaukee, not long

Autumn in the West.

The most excellent of Amcrican
poets sings of these as ''the mclan-
choly days. "thc sadacst of the
year. with grief inconsolahlc at
their coming. The author Of those
pretty rhymes never hchcld tn"
beautiful scenery, or knew of the
soft balmy atmosphere Of Autumn,
in the West, or those lines would
have remained unwrittcn. The
wide expanse Of prairic, dotted here
and there with native groves whose
beauty of form and arrangement
throw artificial groves far into the
shade, are objects that first attract
tho eye Of one unaccustomcd to see
ing the beauties of an autumn in
the West. Everywhere, nature in
stead Of being clad in robes of mourn
ing, presents to the eye an e'ysium
where shining gold, and brilliant
crimson hold gentle rivalry, while
up against the blue archcd dome
of heaven, the ripcncd forest tree
presents it's richly colorcL and ri
pencd foliage, not unlike but fitting
emblem Of the good, whose missions
on earth being ended, stand there
demanding the promised reward of
life and labor.
Autumn is the season Of wealth,
not only in the rich and varicgatcd
beauties Of nature, but in the album
dance Of carths harvcsts provided
BY mans Ia Dor from natures boun
teous storehousc. Every breath
Of its pure air is SO much health
garncrcd up for the winter, and eve
ry view we get of the rich and gor-
geous coloring ofnature teaches man
to admire and revere her, and all
hor works. In no true sense
can autumn as seen in the West be
deemed 1.-THE melancholy days"
