Thus it may be seen that at usual eleva-
tions we know little of the commotion of
the atmosphere few thousand feet above
our heads. But why are observers kept
at this station? What good comes of it?
are questions often asked and seldom ans
wered.
They are kept there at the expense of the
United States signal service, for the ben
eft of commerce and agriculture. 1t has
been ascertained that change of wind
upon this mountain summit shows ma
terial change in the weather; and from
experience the probability of that change
is SO certain, that whether wind, rain or
snow will result is pretty well known.
Coming wind storms affect level tracts like
the west, and our great lakes. and the
ocean, in similar manner. and danger
signals, displayed from the different signal
offices, warn sailors and farmers when to
exercise care with their ships and crops.
All remember the censure of the whole
country upon the commander in our navy
that only last year went out to sea in spite
OF that signal of danger, thereby losing
his steamer and many lives also.
Thus the exposure of two men upon
this mountain summit doubtless saves
many hundreds of lives on our lakes and
sea coasts, to say nothing of the vessels
and their cargoes, which represent money
value 10 an almost fabulous amount.
Their business is to keep due record of
every phase of the weather upon the sum-
nit, and three times each day send the
same by telegraph to the head quarters of
the signal service. Upon these kilograms,
sent from all the stations, their probabli-
ties are made up and sent to every neces-
sary point.
Such is the perfection of this service
that their probabilities seldom fail, thus
giving from six to twenty-four hours no.
tice of all approaching storms of either
wind, snow or rain. If the appropriation
to this service was sufficient, every town
might have its station upon some hill
where it could be generally seen, and thus
by their little flag signals tell all our peo-
pie what weather to expect many hours in
advance. The farmer would then secure
his crop without damage from vet, and
millions more than enough to pay for the
service would be saved. But, intellectual
progress. though sure, is slow; and this,
though sure TO be, may not be realized by
many of us, as death does not wait for ma
tional law. Daily records are also kept
upon blanks for the purpose and forward
ed by mail, making more full the state
ment sent by telegraph, and are to be
studied. to enable those in charge to fore
cast the weather better in the future.
From these records select the follow
ing items; Lowest temperature ever re-
corded on Mt. Washington was Feb. 9Th,
1871, being ifty-nine degrees below zero.
The greatest amount of rainfall and melt
ed snow was in 1877, being cighty-six and
forty-one one -hundredth inches. Greatest
number of auroras, 1873, being twenty
seven. Greatest velocity of wind, Jan.
11th, 1878. being one hundred and eighty
six miles per hour, or over one hundred
and fifteen pounds of pressure to each
square foot of surface.

In little village in the north of Ireland
lived two inhabitants, known by the name
of Darby and Pat. The former was one
day taking his usual walk, when he met
his friend Pat. and asked, "What tonne
moight it be nowP" Pat, having short
stick in hand, gave Darby sharp crack
over the heal with it, and said, " It's Just
struck wan" Darby, looking up little
surprised, but always ready, said, Troth
and it's lucky job wasn't here an hour
sooner"

MERRY RAIN.

BT FLETA FoRREsrER.
Sprinkle, sprinkle, comes the rain,
Tapping on the window-pane;
Trickling, coursing,
Crowding, forcing
Tiny rills
To the dripping window-sills.
Laughing rain drops, light and swim,
Through the air they fall and silt;
Dancing, tripping,
bounding, skipping.
1hro' the street,
With their thousand merry feet.
Every blade ofgrass around
Is ladder to the ground;
Clinging, striding.
Slipping, sliding,
On they come
With their busy zip and hum.
In the woods, by twig and spray,
To the roots they find their way;
Pushing, creeping
Doubling, leaping,
Down they go
To the waiting life below.
Oh, the brisk and merry rain,
bringing gladness in its train!
Falling. glancing,
Tinkling, dancing
All around,-

shall not take effect. The penalty for

still In force. many Of them are violated
with impunity. and We notice no parti.

tional Guard Hall. Virginia, last evening.
between John Oddly and Kate Lorenzo,
fifty miles for 800 a side. The match
commenced at 4 7. NJ. yesterday. Every
srything passed of well for q time. but
soon III feeling began to manifest itself
between the contestants. Miss Lorsncs
q little later began to complain OF the
actions Of Mr.. Oddly. Frequent claims
Of foul were made. but were disallowsd.
About midnight things grew so warm rs
to lead to frequent contentious and some
blows. This was quellsd, however. by
the police. The attendance at this time
was quite large, and at n timea serious
row was imminent. Miss Lorenzo
svincsd an uusnviabls disposition. and
Oddly complained that when passing she
would "spar'' at him. OF this he grew
tired. and when IL was repeated again he
gently nudged her with his elbow. This
sent the gentle lady over against q chain
and down. and she withdrew ut about
her fortisth mile. Mr.. Oddly continued
to walk and made his fifty miles and
was declared winner Of the match and
money.
