WEATHER.-The weather for a few
days past has been sufficiently changea-
BILE to warrant little itemizing about it.
Last week people saw all manner Of omi'
nous signs in the heavens. There were
halos round the sun and moon, with &C
companying sun and moon dogs; there
were chopped skies, and every one saw
sure indication of the breaking OF dry
weather in the threadbare raiment OF
the armament; there were sultry mornings
moons and nights, and passing rumor OF
rust among the wheat and oats. Satur-
day night there was glorious display OF
aurora borealis flashing their streams OF
light through the gateways of the skies.
Sunday night there was great gathering
of clouds and little lain. Monday
night there was heavy rain, which was
preceded by such storm of thunder and
lightning as seldom visits this part of the
country; this was Of rather long duration,
and when the rain commenced falling, it
came in torrents, thoroughly soaking the
earth and refreshing everything, the cool
weather which succeeded the storm hav-,
ing a good effect on the crops. We have
had several showers since, the air is
growing sultry again, and the east winds
are threatening more rain.

A Romance of the East.

Louis eMulbach, in her 'tLette1s from
Egypt" tells very romantic story about
the wife of Count Benedict the French
Minister Plenipoteniary at the Prussian
court before the outbreak of the present
war. A very rich Greek merchant, resi-
dent in Alexandria, had two black wives,
whom he loved dearly, and for whose ser
vice he provided a large retinue of beau
tiful girls. One of his wives one day
CHANGED to see a charming white girl, and
was so pleased with her that she coaxed
her husband into buying her.
The beautiful slave became a cOn6den-
tial servant and companion to her negro
mistresses, and conducted herself toward
them in such q sagacious manner that she
became indispensable to them. She Gang
to them, and gossiped and frolicked SC
gracefully that e,an~i was banished com
pletely She won their affection, and
throug h them also the affection of her
master the venerable Greek merchant.
But unfortunately the black wives sud
denly fell sick one day, and before night
fall they were both dead. Their disease
was known to nobody. and they were hast.
lily buried. The beautiful young slave,
who had not left their side for q moment
during the few hours of their illness.
seemed inconsoIabIe. She did her best,
however, to assuage the grief of the ancient
merchant, and in this way SO endeared
herself to him that he adopted her as his
child and heir, since he was just little
too cid to marry her. In course of time.
the venerable sage rejoined his swarthy
wives in the other world, and the fortu-
nate Lymph came into possession of his
millions. At this stage of her existence,
Count Benedict, who was then only pen
niIess attache to the French consulate in
Alexandria, offered her his hand and heart
and having married her, with the aid OF
her wealth, cut for himself road to fame.
In this way, she who was once slave to
slaves, became star in the circles of the
French world of fashion.
