Our readers probably do not know that to-
day and the two succeeding days differ from
all other days in the year, being as full of
prophetic hints as the skyline books for
those who can understand them. They are
the Borrowed Days: March, according to
the old belief, having borrowed them from
April, paying therefor three young sheep :;
the three days were al once turned into Win
Ter weather.
''Ye first o them was wind an weet.
Ie second o them was snaw and sleei,
le third and last was sylk Il freeze
Vt. froze We birds nebs TO We trees.
Quhen We three days were past and gone
Ne silly sheep came hrpling home"
When March has his way, and turns these
borrowed days into storm and frost, good
weather follows all through the Spring; but
if he is thwarted, and loses both sheep and
days by reason of the sun shining through
them, he is sure to show his i'll temper by
sending late frosts and heavy rains until
Summer has come

The unusual mildness of the past Winter is
accounted for, according to the New York
Herald, by the discovery that the tempera-
ture Of the ocean near the coasts of North
America is several degrees warmer than in
former years. Such change of course is
not temporary, but must depend upon causes
which will last and are probably progressive.
The discoveries of this fact are of opinion
that the coming Summer viii! be warm and

HE lloEsE-Pox " CANADA.-The Mon
treal Star reports the existence of a disease
among the horses Of that section known as
horse-pox- The symptoms closely resemble
smallpox in human beings inasmuch as the
external sores are nearly the same in both
cases The preliminary symptoms NAV be
known by swelling Of the legs and slight
inflammation. The disease attacks The
mouth, heels and inside of the thighs. The
cause of horse-pox is atmospheric, that is, it
arises from sudden fluctuations of tempera-
ture during thaws and frosis. One student
and six grooms have been inocculated by the
disease through some small scratch or wound
on the hands. They arc well developed and
clearly defined pock-marks, but are not
dangerous when treated at once.
