The Long Branch.
Is this branch Necessary for the country?
No; it is a Useless branch.
Who viii cut this branch March 4, 1878?
The Chappaqua wood-chopper.

Because the Dents viii all be taken out.

| When was but a country lass, now fifteen year.

The bows and girls. when first he came, they

Our people held both him and his in great con-
They said should not stOOp to own playmate
The bright-eyed ragged little boy who went to

Yet spite Of all the sneers around from children
better dressed;
NV heart went out to meet the heart that beat
within his breast,
His look was fond, hisvoice was low, and strange
TlOved the ragged little boy who vent to school

For years they had forgotten him, bnt when
His looks, his voice. his gentle ways remained in
They saw alone the man of mark, but could

He had remembered me, it seemed, as remem-

Young love had grown to older love, and so to-

I wed the ragged little boy that went to school

SOME one has written to the University
Monthly to inquire if any changes in the
weather are attributable 10 The influence IF
the moon. The editor referred the COM
munication 10 Commodore Maury. His
answer will disappoint a great many wealth
erwise folks. The changes Of the moon
have no effect upon the weather. The
moon changes, says Commodore Maury,
every ID days, consequently every change
in the weather must take place within the
period of SO days either before or after
moon changes. Hence the popular falla-
cies about her changes and the weather, for
every weather change must be within SO
DAYS before or after moon change, and
her worshippers give her all the credit for
it. The moon governs the tides, bat not
the atmosphere. The most faithful Observ-
ers have failed TO detect any tide in the lat
ter, or any variableness under the moons
influence. So this vexed matter may be
considered as set at rest, and we can defy
the weather prOpheS.
