, WEATHER, &c.-On Thursday


WEATHER, &c.-On Thursday
evening the weather underwent O
more decided change than had pre-,
viously occurred for several weeks.
The day had been show cry and
warm until late in the afternoon.
when cool breeze sprang up from
the northwest, which swept away
the moisture,b bearing clouds and
seemed to bring with it a changed
and purified atmosphere. Yestcr
dry morning at sunrise tho mercu>
ry was down to 5lO, and the per
feet clearness of the sky and ohrys.
talline transparency of tho air
inspired hopes of prolonged
continuance Of fair weather.
The wheat has nearly all been cut
in this county; the yield is large,
Auslity good and the prospect now
is thst the bulk Of it will be saved
in fair condition. The hay har.
vest is ROw in progress and the
crcp is very heavy. An unusual
crop of oats is also nearly ready
for the harvester.

CosT OF LoAFERIsM.-Does the young man
who persists in being loafer ever reflect how
much less it would cost to be a decentsrespec-
table man? Does he imagine that loaferism is
more economical than gentihty? Anybody
can be gentleman, if he chooses to be, with
out much cost, but it is mighty expensive being
a loafer. 1t costs time in the first place-days,
weeks, months of tin fact about al the time
he has, for no man can be a first class loafer
without devoting nearly his entire time to it.
The occupation, well-followed, hardly affords
time for eating, sleeping, drive had almos1
said drinking, but on reflection, We will except
that. The loafer finds time to drink, When
ever invited.
It costs friends. Once fully embarked on
the sea of loaferdom, and you may bid farewell
to every friendly sail that floats under an hon
est and legitimate flag. Your consorts will on
ly be the buccaneers of society. 1t costs mon.
ey for though the losfer may not earn a cent,
or have one for months, the time lost might
have produced him much money it devoted in
industry instead Of soth. 1t costs health, vi
gor, comfort-all the true pleasures of living
honor, dignity, self-respect, and the respect Of
the world when living, and, finally, all regret
or consideration when dead Be gentleman,
then; it is far cheaper.
