perfectly clear and the same view taken by the
General OF the Army BY mis- order to General Meade

WHAT FROsTl

We have learned that dew is the float
ing moisture of the air, gently floating
down upon the grass, leaves or plants,
which have become colder than itself. If,
now, the grass and leaves become still
colder, as they will do on an autumn or
winter night the tiny particles of vapor,
which in summer would make dew, are
frozen as soon as they fall, and appear
on the grass like little bristling needles of
ice. This we call frost 1t does not take
the form of q smooth layer of ice all over
the blades of grass, because it is the ma
ture of water, when freezing, to take
regular form-to crystalize. Whenever
water freezes, little needles of ice are
first seen to shoot out upon its surface,
which makes the same angles with each
other all over the world. So it is in our
houses. The moisture of the air in our
rooms touches the cold glass, and trying
TO crystalline, makes the curious frost
work on our windows every cold morning
in winter.
A singular appearance is sometimes
seen on rocks by the roadside, and on
the brick walls of houses, when in the
winter there is q sudden change from
cold weather 10 warm. AS the stones
and bricks are still freezing cold after the
air has become warm, they Condense and
freeze the moisture of the air, and array
themselves in snow white garment of
frost. Scholars in schools are often
troubled on winter morning by the frost
coming out of the states, as they call it
The states are so wet that the pencil marks
cannot be seen. This moisture on the
slate, like the frost on the brick wall, is
caused, not by frost; or anything else
coming out of them, but rather by the
heat of the air going into them. This
leaves the vapor in the air to settle upon
them in the shape of dew or frost.
A large collection of frost is often seen
upon the heads of nails, while no frost
appears on the wood around the nails. Ii
is the nature of iron to receive heat from
any warm substance much faster than
wood does. So the air which touches the
nail, quickly gives its heat to the nail,
and lays down Its moisture upon it &c
freeze; while the wood, although equally
cold, being able to take only little heat
away from the air, remains quite FREE

But why drag my soul to scenes that are DER
Let the waves murmur, the weary WINDS sien'
Come back, sad thoughts, TO the present hour'
would not weep, but dream for aye.
thorny bush, blasted and scared,
Is the only monument nature has reared
Scorched by the sun, riyen by the wind,
Like funeral regret fixed in the mind;
1t lives in 8 rock by no shade Frightened,
Its withered leaves by the road-dust whltened;
1t grows near the ground, and the broken stocks
Are nibbled close by the goat-herds hocks.
A bird Of sweet and sorrowful tones
Sits on bending branch and means;
In springtime flower may bloom day,
But like a snowflake it ia swept away,
Blasted before its fragrance has spread, --.
Like life before the heart is love-led
Oh, tell me, flower, in this, thy day of doom,
Is there no earth where all again will bloom?
Now go, weary soul, to scenes that are past
And come back, sad memories, help me to sigh;
And thoughts, ye may follow my soul at last,
would not dream, but weep for aye
