WE noticein the Memphis Ledger
that the Masons of that city have
nearly finished their new Masonic
Temple, and that on the 9th inst.
about three hundred met in the
hall to confer a degree upon one of
its oldest members At the conclu-
sion ofthe meetingit was announced
that it would take about 5000 more
toeomplete the building, whereupon
DIR. ID. T. Porter, at one time a citi-
zen of this county, arose and said
that he had not done as much in
the past for the order as he desired,
and therefore ordered the Secretary
to put him down for the whole
amount. By this liberal donation
he has endeared himself not only to
the order in Memphis but through
out the whole country. 15

Much of the snow which fell so
abundantly last week remained on
the ground till Tuesday. On the
night ofthat day, however, asteady,
persevering rain, lasting till day,
washed it all into the river, very
much to theadvantageof ourstreets.
The rain has continued at intervals
ever since, and on Thursday night
waseven more copious than before.
The river has risen very rapidly,
gaining as much as fifteen feet in
twenty-four hours. There is a great
probability now of the river over
flowing its banks, for which con-
tingency the farmers will do well to
prepare by removing their. NOV
abIes above high water-mark.
LATER-The river is very near its
brink and a heavy rise is reported
above, which will almost certainly
bring with it an overflow.

The Future Of Weather Foretelling.

In no other part of her wide realm
has Science done so little for the good
of man or her own fame as in the de-
partment of me.eorology. In the solid
earth her prophecies have long had q
high value, in the far-off heavens her
empire is affirmed, but in the unstable
air between those two well-possessed
provinces there is q region that is not
vet subjugated. Around the border of
the domain of meteorology some gains
in the cause of law and order have in
deed been made; we control the light
ming, we are able to track q clearly de-
fined storm for days on its path, and
can help the sailor to knowledge that
often enables him to escape its clutches
when it assails him on the deep sea; but
as for foretelling the weather in any
proper sense, we have not yet attained
to it. Is it attainable? Can we hope to
compass the conditions of our, days so
that we may SOW and reap, travel, feast,
or make war in weather of our choiceP
This is, after all, perhaps the most in
teresting of the questions that the future
history of science must determine. But
though the perfect answer is not to be
given at present, there are some things
in the existing conditions of our science
that make us hopeful that we are but ut
the beginning of the work of weather
forecasting. III: to ee- 4ae e,J

tific efforts at weather foretelling, rs

How a Young Lady Won $4,000.

BUT here comes one of my .favorites,
writes the Boston correspondent OF the
San Francisco Bulletin. Isnt she fne-
lookingp Mop Well, listen while / tell
you her story, and learn why I like her
looks. Some years ago, . man who had
more money than good reputation, ad.
vertised that he would give $5, 600 to
any respectable white woman who
would walk unveiled from the Adams
House entrance down Washington Street
with him, at an hour when all the
fashionables were promenading. For
weeks that offer remained untaken, for
his reputation was such that no respect
able woman would be seen with him,
and the advertisement had said that
''none others need apply" Finally, this
woman who has just passed us agreed to
his terms and to join him at the ap-
pointed place and time. When the hour
came, Mr.. ~ was on hand. Soon q
carriage drove up with the lady. It had
been noised abroad that the offer had
been taken up, and quite q crowd had
gathered to see him pay bis 5000. He
helped her alight, offered her his arm,
walked few steps with her, when she
removed her veil at his request and re-
vealed to his gaze O face rs black ~
night. "You have deceived me-" he
said; ssthis is not fair" 81 am not o
negro" she replied, and TO prove IL she
pulled off her gloves and showed q pair
Of hands a. white as yours are this min
ute. The man turned toward the car
rage, paid her the o., 900 and she drove
off, leaving him to the laughter, and
boots of the amused crowd Of bystand-
ers. It turned out afterward that the
girl was very poor, and that she hsd'a
magnificent voice that she could not
cultivate for want Of money, and this Is
the way she overcame that obstacle.
She went to Europe and studied five
wears and has returned one of our most
brilliant singers. You can tell from hcr
proud bearing and refined appearance
the she is just the sort Of woman to do
such q thing with dignity, and come out
none the worse for Il either.

Eighteen !

AT eighteen the true narrative Of life
is yet to be commenced. Before, that
time we sit listening to o tale-a mar
velous fiction-delightfu sometimes and
sad sometimes; always unreal. Before
that time our world Is heroic--its inhab-
itants half divine or semi-demon; its
scenes are dream scenes; darker woods
and stranger hills, brighter skies, moro
dangerous waters, sweeter flowers, more
tempting fruits, wider plains, drearier
deserts, SUMMER fields than are found in
nature overspread our enchanted globe.
What moon we gaze on before that
time! How the trembling Of our hearts
at her aspect bears witness TO Its unut-
tcrable beauty! As to our sun, IL Is .
burning heaven-the world of gods At
that time-at eighteen, drawing near
the confines of Elusive, void dreams,
Elf land lies before us, the shores OF re-
atty rise in front. These shores are yet
distinct; they look 50 blue, soft, gentle,
we long to reach them. In sunshine we
see greenness beneath the azure as Of
spring meadows; We catch giimpses Of
silver lines and imagine the roll Of living
waters. Could we but reach this land
we think to hunger and thirst no mors;
whereas, many wilderness, and often
the flood of death, or some stream OF
sorrow, as cold and almost as black as
death, is to be crossed ere true bliss can
be tasted. Every joy that life gives
must be earned ere Il Is secured; and how
hardly earned those only know who have
wrestled for great prizes. The hearts
blood must grace with red beads the
brow Of the combatants before the
wreath of victory rustles over 1t. At
eighteen we are not aware a this.
Hope, when she smiles on us, and
promises happiness tomorrow, y inn
plicitiy believed Love. when he comes
wandering like lost angel at our door,
