A Coin WiSTEs. "A Correspondent at
Double Pipe Creek has been loolzi:Ig over his
diary Of the weather, for the winter Of
ls5j-lS56, and sends US the following, which
will be found very interesting, as CONTESTED
with the present winter:
December 18th, 1855, cold, ground frozen
and ice formed cold continued on the 18th,

9th and 18th, snow; SUth, % below Thus
the month goes out as it came In, with snow
and intense cold. Snow fell fast all day, with
q temperature atzero, sleighing uninterrupted
and unsurpassed all the month. Rocks and
stones unknowain the roads, and water-streams
all bridged with ice solid as earth mills on
small streams frozen dry.

with much snow on the ground, and some
sleighing, which has been uninterrupted for
II weeks, and 10 weeks Of the time il was IN
surpassed. April sets in with no visible

snow to melt. April 18th, to-day the last
snow from this standpoint disappeared.

Nocturnal Farming.

A young friend of ours, who for ten
years previously to 1871 was connected
with the cOmmissary department of the
army, south and west, has lately been re-
quired to take the position of Commits
sary General on farm not many miles
from this point Being merchant also,
his duties on the farm requires some care
full squirting through the morning and
evening twilight. Of course he must be
up early; that was a leading point with
him, and one on the achievement of
which he believed he excelled most veter-
ans about him. Early rising, in fact, be-
came his forte, and sort of passion with
him, regardless of the quiet enjoyment
of the rest of the household.
One very rainy night the family were
awakened by the General coming down
stairs in regular business style. He put
on his rubbers, went to the barn, drew
water, gave the hogs their breakfast, and
then prepared the "slop" for the cows.
He was then heard to take the milk pail
and away he tramped towards the COW
pasture. The family then hearing the
clock striking the lonely hour of one, be-
gan to suspect that the General, having
had his first nap, had supposed the morn
ing nigh, and was out on duty A sister
therefore, after due counsel with her
mother, made haste to go after the young
man so that he should not disturb the
occupants-of the fields as he had those of
the house. But she was too late and
found the usually quiet cows running and
snufiing, while the General was gently
and soothingly calling after them, and
shaking the bail of his slop pail to at
tract their notice, on his principle of as
sociation of ideas, wondering all the
while what the Old Nick was the matter
of the cows.
"Why, G., what are you doing?" in
quired X.
81 am trying to milk the cows, but they
behave as no rightminded cows ought TO
behave. | never had them act so before"
"What are you milking now for9"

Trained Ants.

THE New Haven Press holds itself re-
spOnsible for the truth of the following:
MIR. Mendell, of ST. Louis, Mo-, who
has been for the last few days staying
with some friends in this city, has a most
singular love for insect life, and an init
mate knowledge of the character and
temper of several members of the insect
family, which he carries about with hi m
for the purpose of diversion and study.
In one of his pockets Mr.. Mendell has
domesticated a colony of small brown
ants, trained in their intelligence to do
some surprising things. He will place a
piece of sugar upon "a table and retire Il
few PAGES from it, when by some manipu-
lation which his industrious pets under
stand the meaning of, he persuades them
to come out and march in Indian file
down the leg of his pantaloons, across
the floor, up the leg of the table, until
each one has supplied itself with a tiny
grain of the sweet commodity, take up
the line of march on a return trip to Mr..
Mendells pocket, into which they Will
enter, each one with its loads of sweets.
The same gentleman has also in his col
lection of insect pets dozen or more of
green bugs, with black stripes running
around their bodies, and which, he says,
are peculiar inhabitants of species of
acacia tree. These bugs will, at motion
of their masters finger, go through some
remarkable acrobatic performances, walk
ing first on their hind legs and atterward
on their forelegs, the hinder part of their
bodies being elevated, their only word of
command so to speak, being given by the
motion of their trainers finger. MIR.
Mendell has for some years found great
pleasure in devoting his leisure hours to
pursuits of the kind above mentioned,

Miscellaneous Reading.
4 LETTER TO SANTA CLAUS.
BY EMILY HUNTINGTON MILLER

BY EMILY HUNTINGTON MILLER.
Blessed old Santa Claus. king Of delights,
What you doing these long winter nightss
Filling your budgets with trinkets and toys,
Wonderful gifts FOR the girls and the boys.
While Won are plannn. for everything nice,
Pray, let me give you bit OF ADVICE
Don't take il hard. if l say in your ear,
Santa. think you were partial last year:
Loading the rich folks with everything CAV,
Stumbling the poor ones who came in your way;
Now. of all times in the year am sure,
This is the time to remember the poor.
Plenty Of children there in our city
Who have no fathers or mothers to pity;
Plenty Of people whose working and needing
Scarcely keep all their dear ones from needing
Now. if came every year in December.
They are the ones L would surely remember
Little red hands that are aching and cold,
y GU should have mitiens your fingers TO hold;
You should be clothed in the warmest OF hose;
On the dark hearth would kindle light,
Till the sad faces were happy and bright.
Don't you think Santa, if all your life through,
Some one had always been caring for you,
Watching to guard you by night and by day,
Giving you gifts you could never repay.
Sometimes, at least, you would sigh TO recall
How many children have nothing at alls
Safe in your own quiet chamber at night
Cosy and warm in your blankets so white,
Wouldn't you think of the shivering forms,
Out in the cold, and the wind. and The storm.
Wouldn't you think Of the babies who cry,
PrninS IN hunger and cold, till they die:
Once. on a beautiful Christmas, you know,
Jesus. our Savior. was born here below;
Patiently STOPPING TO hunger and pain
So he might save us, His lost ones. from shame.
Now. if we love Him, He bids us TO feed
All His poor brothers and sisters who need.
Blessed old Nick. I was if you knew it,
You would remember and certainly do it'll
This year. at least when you empty your pack,
Pray give portion TO all who may lack.
Then, II you chance 10 hare anything orer,
Bring a email gift to your friend.

"Well, do you know what time it is ?"
mol What time is it ~

sought his quarters again. He has not
