Failures from OVERRIDING.

The story is current in the neighbor
hood of Concord that Emerson, and
Hawthorne, and Alcott, and Thoreau,
and others, once formed social club
fer evening conversations. It was
naturally expected that the interviews
of these literary giants would be occa-
sions of rare enjoyment. But the club
proved q wretched failure, and survived
only two meetings. The great men
couldn't unbend for easy and familiar
talk, and opened their lips only for or
acular utterances.
John Stuart Mill tells of similar fail
ure in a debating club in London. It
was composed Of the most brilliant
young men in the city, Macaulay, Thrill
wall (the historian), Wilberforce, after
ward Bishop Of Oxford, the brothers
Bulwer, the three brothers Villiers,
Charles Thomson, and others who af-
terward won eminence in Parliament.
Great expectations were excited, and
the first meeting was crowded, large
number Of men IN public life coming to
hear the young orators.
A noted Oxford speaker opened the
discussion. He attempted SO high
fight that he failed utterly, and sat
down with extreme chagrin. Others
followed with similar aims, only to fail
in the same way. Not single speaker
was successful. The audience went
away disgustcd, and the young men
were SO mortified that second meeting
was never attempted.
Had they been content to speak in
natural way they might have formed

Storms Are FOundlings.

When we are asked to give an &C.
count of the birth of storm, we are
reluctantly compelled to admit that our
storms are, almost without exception,
foundings, and that, as the precise
conditions to which they owe their or
igin are, for the most part, shrouded in
uncertainty, warm discussions at times
arise as to the parish sksG1sa they have
set out on their wanderings. Dove
said long ago that storms were due to
the interference of the polar current or
the east wind with the equatorial cur
rent or west wind He gave the winds
east ss vipa7 y consisted tee Of of air a1ef flow, es
ing FIR e IKE North or South pole tow
ard E equator, which was modified in
the Erection of its motion by it's change
Of latitude; while west winds were really
due to air endeavoring to make its way
back to the pole from the equator,
whose course was IN its turn modified
by it's own moving from lower to higher
ATTITUDES. To the conflict of these two
grand currents, east and west winds.
Dove attributed all our storms but he
did not attempt to explain how the
currents came into collision. These
views, however correc: on their cosmical
principles, have been superseded, Of
late years at least, as regards the ex-
planation Of our winds, by the modern
views of the relation between the wind
and the distribution of barometrical
pressure; but, unfortunately, we still
remain in comparative ignorance of the
ultimate causes to which the distribu-
ton of pressure, or the rise and fall of
the barometer, are due.-Popular SCI
