Heavy Snow Storm.

The heaviest SHOW storm of the vim
ter dropped down upon us Saturd;. Y
night and Sunday. Good eight inches
were on the ground Sabbath morning
Ill this place, and considerable more on
the hills. Although it showed all day
Sunday, it melted faster than it came.
a few sleighs were out both Sunday
and Monday, but the SNOW was nearly
all gone i'll the streets by noon, and
those who came into town on runners
after loads, made a grand mistake. The
snow pillow was sent over the p. & o.
Sunday night, and 1t found nearly two
feet OF snow between the Heights and
Greensboro. There was perfect gale
of wind a part of Sunday, and snow
drifts four or five feet deep could be
found III drifting localities. without
much trouble. The quantity of SNOW.
the wind and the temperature, remind
ed one torcibly of Il rough day in Feb
ruary or March. Indeed, people i'll the
mn CouuiIN titCldIe IL the NOfSt uaN OF
the winter. Nothing equal to it can be
remembered 81 late in the season. BY
accounts elsewhere it will be seen the
storm was severe all over New Eng
land.
Po>TsCRIPT.-We stop the press to
announce another SHOW storm-and the
last one for this month. 1t commenced
showing again early Wednesday morn
ing, and showed steadily all day. To-
wards night the wind came up from the
northwest and it has showed and
blowed ever since. making IA storm of
thirty-six hours duration as We go to
press-the longest and worst one of the
winter. AS much as two ana a-half or
three feet of SHOW has fallen these last
five days of April and the oldest in
habitant' backs down when asked to
furnish parallel in history.

THE ART OF T4INKING.-Too much
stress cannot be laid upon the fundamental
Importance of perfect command over
thought. How many student finds a
lack of this power the chief hindrance to
progressf How many page must be re-
read, how many lessons conned over and
over to compensate for lapses of thought I?
In che possession or absence of this power
over mind lies the chief difference between
Some men think as a child plays with a
hammer, striking little blows here, there,
anywhere, at any object within reach.
The action of q strong mind may be COM
pared to the stone breakers sledge- ham,
mer, dealing stubborn blows SUCCESSFULLY
upon one spot till the hard rock cracks and
yields. The power to classify and arrange
ideas in proper order is ore that comes
more or less slowly to even the best of
minds. In proportion as this faculty is
strengthened, desuitory and wasted effort
diminishes. When the mind acts, it acts
to some purpose, and can begin where it
ground again to take up the threads of
its ratiocinations. Concentration and sys-
tenn are thus seen to be the chief elements
in the art Of thinking. To cultivate the
first, constant watehfulness to detect the
least wandering, and the immediate exer-
ton of the will to cali back and hold the
mind upon the subject uader considera-
ton, should be vigilantly exercised. To
secure the latter, the practice of analysing
and considering the different parts Of q
subject, fret separately, aud then in their

jected, and which, we are sorry to say, is |
much neglected in most methods efinstruc-

THE MYSTERY OF HARD TIMEs.-A Day
ton (Ohio) journal endeavors to clear up
this mystery little by publishing some
statistics that ought to be impressive. 1t
shows that in that city of $4,000 inhabi-
tants there are $40 bar-rooms, which con-
sumo daily nine barrels of common whis-
ky, 400 kegs Of lager beer and as many Of
ale, to say nothing of the finer kinds of
wines and liquors, which are used to q
considerable extent. Besides the above,
the local consumption of tobacco amounts
to $4,000 cigars, 200 pounds of smoking
and 100 pounds of chewing tobacco daily.
The editor, after q careful study of the fig-
ures, ciphers out that bar-keeper at 10
cents drink gets 5000 for barrel of
whiskey that costs $40. This does not
mean hard times for him, certainly, what
ever may be the case with those who give
him the profit of $3.50 per barrel. The ex-
penditure of Dayton for whisky, malt Ii
quors and tobacco is more than five times
what it lays out or bread. The figures of
our foreign trade balances are not 30 i'm
portant as these, to great many people at
least.

self-Denial-What Came Of it.

The following interesting account of the
results of q little self-denial is from the
pen of the late Horace Mann:
III once knew young man whe, on re-
moving from the country to the city, was
introduced to n very respectable circle of
persons, about his own age, who were in
the habit of meeting periodically for the
nominal purpose, at least, of conversation
aHd social improvement. But any locker
on at their symposia might not have been
deemed uncharitable bad he supposed that
the supper, the wine and the cigars con-
stituted the principal attraction. He be-
came one of their number, and for a tune
enjoyed the hilarity and shared the expense
of the entertainments but, being as last
rebEked by his conscience for this mode of
spending both time aud money, he quietly
withdrew from the club, though without
abandoning his intimacy with its members.
Through one of their number he learned
the average cost of their suppers, aud tax
ing an equal sum from his own scantily-
filled purse, he laid it aside as a fund for
charity. AT the end of single season he
found himself in possession of a hundred
dollars wholly made up of these sums
saved from genteel dissipation. This
amount he took to poor but most ex.
emplary family consisting of a widow and
several small children, all of whom were
struggling as for life, and against series
of adverse circumstances, to maintain a
show of responsibility and to provide the
means of attending the public schools. The
bestowment of this sum upon the disheart-
ened mother and the fatherless children,
together with the sympathy and counsel
that accompanied it, seemed to put a new
heart into the bosoms of them all. 1t prov
ed the turning-poi in their fortunes.
Some small debts were paid, the necessary
school-book and few articles of decent
clothing were obtained, the children sprung
forward in theirstudies, eeualing or OUT
stripping all misconceptions, and at the
respectable, exemplary and useful citizens
in the State.

The Pail Mall Gazette asks: SIS the preva-
lence of a universal language thing to be
calculated on 2" 1t answers: '.Our inclina-
ton is to be affirmative. General Grant, some
time ago, was pleased to announce it, with
presidential positiveness, as o certainty; and
Yankee prophecies, have, somehow or other,
a trick of making themselves fulfilled. As the
world now goes on, it is certainly conceivable
that the extreme convenience of the change
will one day prcduce-whether preceded by
wars and conquests, or merely the result Of
arrangement-sn international language con-
vention, between the leading civilized nations,
under which some one language shall be re-
ceived everywhere as legal currency for COM
mon purposes, the others surviving only in the
precarious condition of dialects."

A correspondent of the Cologne Gazette
writes from Cincinnati that the German
sparrows, which some years ago left the
immediate precincts of the town to ape
the smoke ofthe chimneys, and spread tb em-
selves over the neighboripg farms, have
now returned in large numbers, apparently
because they had multiplied so extensively
az to have exhausted their supplies of food.
The present generation of sparrows seems
to have become completely Infatuated to
the bituminous vapor with which the air is
so densely charged, and they, as we'll as
several species Of ordinary singing birds,
which have been imported from Germany
BY the Society of Acclimatization, bid fair
to become thoroughly nataralized on the
American continent.
