The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1870-10-13


| We have this chronological precept:
DO not let October flies
Lead you TO expect warm Skies
But II, notwithstanding the skies are warm
look for the chilling recompense herein indica-
| ted:
October warm, with certain speed,
! Makes February cold indeed"
The leaves, too, bear their part in the por
tents; faded and thickly strewed on every
hand they cannot fail to be noted in the search
for signs. The prognostic be ow, though rude
ly expressed, is based upon good physiological
principles;
The earlier in October the leaves do fall, so
nuch the more fruitful will the next season
The next two are of similar import:
stop the leaves long on the trees, you had best
Prepare for winter a good long nest"
When late in October the leaves still remain
| ter
| OF rain in this month we have this trite saw:
Much rain in October much wind in Decem-
And this which to a superstitious mind might
be cause of dread, Gods acre being the beau
| tlful German designation for grave yard:
October rains, when many and great,
Gods acre best fill and cultivate"
Thunder in this month is decidedly out of
| season, but should its reverberations be heard
| they are not to be regarded consoliug
! sounds, as witness what follows:
October thunder storms plainly say,
Changeable weather all winter will stay"
! And this, which more obscure, is still less
satisfactory:
| "Winter rthunder-Inisplaccd and unkind-
! Showeth much solid weather behind"
Or this triplet, which institutes compare
( son, must be ts ken in a,legorical sense:
I'm October the thunder, though sounding
Than that of February is better to hear;
The last is but pleasing to the usurer's ear"
| As for frost and snow whose advent is not
desirable so early in the season, but which
occasionally put in unwelcome appearance,
we have these:
Frost and snow in October are couriers to
| say that January will be mild
| (Now let the weatherwise event and hereby
| ferewarned predict the usual January thawD
IF there is in October much frost and wind.
January and February both mild you'll find:
But when in the autumn the weather is clear,
The cold wind full soon will appear"
This, relating to the first snow, is quaint
| expression of a popular beliefs
| should in mud and slush the first snow fall,
Look for mild winter, and muddy withal."
| The last of the ger eral observ ations on the
| month is the following, which seems to derive
its inspiration from the doctrine of compensa.
| tions:
"stops the winter long away,
! So much longer will it stay"
OF the set days we have this, relating to the
10th:
When it is dry at st. Calls day, the summer
!
And this of the same dav, which acts as a
reminder to those who last year had tn cir trees
broken and fruit damaged By the early snow:
AT st. Calls day every apple should be in its
sack
OF the 2Ist this:
| ''Just as begins Ursula's day,
| So the winters resolved to stay
How TO SroP PAPER The following from
one of our exchanges So fully and clearly ex-
presses our views upon the subject that we
copy il without comment: "You have an uu-
doubted right to stop newspaper whenever
you are disposed. upon payment of all arrear-
| ages Do not hesitate to de so on account of
any tenderness of feeling for the editor. Don't
you suppose he would stop buying sugar of you.
or meat, clothing, dry goods. ETC., if he thought
he was not getting his moneys WORTH And
when you discontinue paper, do so manfuIly.
Don't be so pitful as to throw it back to the
postmaster with a contemp uous Il don t want
it any longerP and have refused written on
the margin and the paper returned to the edit
or. No gentleman ever stopped a paper in
that way, matter if his head is covered with
gray hairs that should always be honorable -
If you do not wish longer to receive news
paper, write note to the editor like man
and say so-snd be sure that all arrearages are
paid. This is the wav to stop newspaper.
