InNlGNtIons of tho Wenther.

The color of the sky at particular
times affords wonderful good guidance.
Not only rosy sunset presages good
weather, but there arc other tints which
speak with equal clearness and accuracy.
A bright yellow sky in tho evening in
dicatcs wind; pale yellow, wet; neu-
tral gray color constitutes favorable
one in tho morning. The clouds arc
again full of meaning in themselves. If
tn cir forms are soft, underlined, full and
feathery, tho weather will be fine; if
their edges are hard, sharp and definite,
it will be foul. Generally speaking, any
deep, unusual hues betoken wind and
rain; while tho more quiet and delicate
tints bespeak fair weather. It is very
true, however, that all signs in regard
to the weather sometimes are deceptive

PininE for Exercise.

An ordinary looking traveller went into
the dining hall at tho Union Depot, In
dianopolis, carrying nice satchel. He
walked up to the counter, put down the
satchel, called for a cup of coffee and IL
piece of pic, which he devoured. Lenv-
ing the satchel by the counter he saunt-
cred to the other side of the room, and
entered into conversation with gentle
man there.

Ter put his satchcl down by tho counter,
where it was before, and went to the

the man, and walking over to him said

he added, rs his step became slower,
for he was thinking moro ingenuously
than usual, cit may be easier for me to
choose my words more carefully, and to
repress the unkindness of tone that gives
them double force, than for her to help
feeling pain Mt their uttcrancc.
Right, Mr.. Winkleman That is the
common sense of the whole matter. 1t
is easier to strike, than to help feeling
or showing signs of pain, under the in
Fiction of blow. Look well to your
words, ye whose words have the most
weight, and fall if dcalt in passion, with

then the bread. Nine days ago, that is,
nine days before that spoken of by the
Ncbo the last drop of water was drank,
and then three days later everything,
even to boots and shoes, had been de-
vonrcd. They were literally without a
bite or sup. The Captains dog had
been killed, skinned and eaten, and then
lots were cast for tho cat. The poor
beast was saved by the Captain himself,
who bcsought the men not to destroy it.
The starving men spared the cat, cut up
their boots, soaked strips in lamp oil and
ate them. This horrible food gave out,
and then the poor wretches eyed each
other suspiciously and hungrily, and
would have killed the cat could they
have found it, but the Captain hid it,
and the pnngs of hunger were unnp-
pcascd for five days. Some of the men
meditatcd suicide. God knows how
many of them thought of murder and
cannbalism. Had the steamer not come
to the rescue, the Captain of the Tiger
said he thought something more terrible
than starvation would have been enact
ed Oh board. The Ncbo sent months
provisions on board. When the first
boat load arrived, the mate lcapcd aboard
the Tiger eating n biscuit. He was
ponnccd upon by his shipmatcs, who
literally fought like dogs for the cracker
then they rushed upon other provisions
and tore them in the same way rs FAM
ished wolves might have done. The Of
ticcr of the Nebo adds: We got provis-
ions Oh board and sot them at large once
more. They shook the reefs out of their
top sails, set their top gallant sails, and

but the vessels bottom was so full of bar
nnclcs she could not make much head
way. She was able to get along, how
ever, and when last we saw her she was

Eating Leather.

The steamship Ncbro from Rio Janeiro
lately fell in with the bark Tiger,
sevcnty-seven days ont, and short of
provisions. She supplied her crew who
were i'll n most deplorable condition,
having sustained life for several days on
strips of leather soaked in lamp oil until
the oil gave out, and then on the Cap
tain's dog, after which, there was moth
ing but cannibalism and death staring
them in the face. TO add to their suf-
fcring two vessels passed several days
before within short distance, but paid
no attention to their signals of distress
AS the steamer Ncbo came up with
the Tiger they saw the latter lowering a
boat. After some moments of hard
struggling she came alongside. Her oc-
cupants were dressed in oilskins and
evidently very weak.
"What do you want?' sang out Cap
tain Gordon.
"We are starving to death, we are
starving to DEATH" exclaimed the man
in the sterA sheets excitcdly.
<'Did you say you were starving?" de-
mandcd the Captain again in surprise.
Eyes; wo arc starving. Sec this is
all wo have had to cat in nine days" "
He held aloft the skin of dog, and one
of the men held up a piece of boot
leather.
"God help u.s." exclaimed Captain
Gordon, "Comc on board right away,
and we will do what we can for you."
A ladder was then lowered and the
men helped aboard the Ncbo and given
food.
The young German Commander OF nc
Tiger told the Captain of the Nebo he
had been 1874 days out from Liverpool
with q cargo of common salt, and he had
been in most dreadful condition: He
was bound into Baltimore, and made
Capo Henry early in January, and was
blown off the shore into the gulf stream.
From that time he had been tossed
hither and thither by the winds and
currents. He had twelve men before
the mast, all Of whom had displayed the
utmost fortitude under the most trying
circumstances. The provisions ran short
one month ago; the beef gave out first

Making Things Over.

"Maria," said Mr.. Jones upon one of
his worrying days, cit seems to me you
might be more economical; now there's
my old clothes. Why can't you make
them over for tho children instead of
giving them away?"
because they're worn out when
you're done with thcm," answered Mrs.
Jones. cts no use making things over
for the children that won't hold together;
you couldn't do it yourself, smart as yol,
are"
"Well," grumbled Jones, ct wouldn't
have closets full of things mildcwing for
want of wear if was woman, that $
all. A penny saved is penny earned. I"
That was i'll April. One warm day in
May MIR. Jones went prancing through
the closets looking for something he
couldn't find, and turning things gencr-
ally inside out.
'Maria p he screamed, "whcrc's my
gray alpaca dustcr ?"
"NIade it over for Johnny"
"Ahem Well, where's the brown lin
ell one bought last summer?"
''Clothcs- bag |" numbled Mrs. Jones,
who seemed to have difficulty in her
speech at that moment. "Just made it
into nice one ~
"Where are my lavender pants ?"
yelled Jones'
''Cut them over for Willie"
"Hcavens !" groaned her husband.
Then in voice Of thunder: "Whcre

Chung the baby jumper with them. "
"Maria," asked the astonished man,
in II subdued voice, "would you mind
telling me what you have done with my
silk hat; you haven't made that over for
the baby, have you?"
ooh no, dear" answered his wife
cheerfully. GIVE used that for a hang
ing basket. Tt is full of plants, and looks
lovely" Mr.. Jones never mentions the
word economy or suggests making over

Dor, dressed in his Sunday s,lit, was

High Farming.

High farming is system of tillage
and farm management that is sclf-sus-
tanning, system that takes nothing but
the bare land, the domestic animals, the
farm implements and machinery, and
cultivates the soil, sustains the family
md the animals, pays the annual taxes,
defrays the expenses incident to the i'm
provements that must be made Oh the
farm, cancels the annual interest on the
money invested III the land, eventually
pays for the land, all from the products
of the soil cultivated; and after one, two
or three decades of years, leaves every
acre in a far better state of fertility than
the soil was Mt tho beginning. This is
high farming. There are untold num-
bers of quiet, unobtrusive tillcrs of tho
soil in many Of our States, who have COM
menced precisely rs we have indicated,
without ono dollar of cash capital, who
have had no revenue whatever besides
the natural resources of their cultivated
fields, and who have by hard work and
judicious management sustained their
families, paid for their lands, erected all
of their buildings, paid for all their val
liable improvements, and at the same
time, have brought their land to that
state of productiveness by their judi
cious management, that every acre yields
rs much, if not more, than it did origi-
nally in state of nature. This is high
farming. Yet such system is Sftcn
sncered ut simply because the propric-
tor knew how to save his money to de-
fray expense of improvements. There is
no need of land becoming impoverished,
even when it bears a crop every year.
Proper cultivation with plenty of man
,lre is tho key to high farming.

Travels OF an Eye-stono

Rufus Miller, is well known farmer
living at Mechanicstown, Conn. Some
five or six years ngo, just before retiring,
Mr.. Miller placed in his eye what was
known rs an eyc-stono, for the purpose
of removing n mote, as ho hnd frequent
ly done before. For the benefit of those
of our readers who may not know what
an eye-stone is, we will explain. 1t is
n small, white, round shell, abo,ts three
sixteenths of an inch in diameter, con-
cave on ono side, convex on the other
and quito thin. 1t is taken from tho
head Of the crab, one being found under
each eye of that crlstaccan. In the
morning when Mr. Miller awoke he
could not find the stone. Hc made a
careful and thorough search, but all in
vain, Ind he made up his mind that it
was gone for good. Not long ago he
felt hard growth on tho end of the
little finger Of his right hand. He show
cd it to some friends, who concluded it
was wart and advised him to let it
alone. He did until some time ago, when
it began to be sore, and ho commenced
picking ut it. Ho soon found out that
some hard substance was under the skin,
and, digging away, he finally took out
his long-lost eyc-stone. He examined
it so carefully that there can be no mis-
take. He now recollects that Mt one
time he experienced considerable sore
ness in his wrist, and suppose at that
period the atone was pressing In that
direction, How this bit of carbonate of
lime ever made that long journey with.

Daniel Webster, said Mr.. Rogers, has
been sitting with us and we enjoyed for
M hour his delightful conversation. De-
clining M invitation from the Dowager
Lady Charleville, and punctually at
three o'clock, the hour named, julia and
myself left our lodging for Buckingham
Palace. Alone and unattended, except,
of course, by our footman, we approached
the royal residence, guarded about the
porticos by "Ycoman of the Guard" I"
We entered and ascended the grand and
stately marble staircase with no other
companions than it's numerous attend
ants ranged OH each side, even to the
door of the mirrorcd saloon whore her
Majesty was. Mr.. Webster md Mr..
Charles Murray were awaiting our m
rival ut the doorway. The Lord Cham
berlain instantly advanced and signitied
briefly that it was the queens pleasure
we should Immediately approach the
royal presence and make our devoirs.
This We did in the best way we were
able, tho Queen in the most gracious
manner acknowledging our courtcsics,
and pronouncing in loud and distinct
voice our separate names. I soon per-
ccived by certain motions that some
thing was about to occur. Lady Forbes
and others, who were near me at the
doorway, instantly rotrcated cen face"
into the adjoining room and formed n
line Oh each side. Through this the
Lord Chamberlain appeared, backing
forward, followed by others in Office and
about the household. Soon the Queen
appeared, and from the opposite gallery,
into which he had backed, appeared the
royal family, including the Duke and
Duchess of Cambridge, and Princess
Augusta. They advanced, placed them
selves i'll line, and her majesty embraced
them all, kissing each. She then passed
on, saluting others stationed each side,
and entered the dancing room. The
throne room WAS the dancing room; the
Quccn commenced the hereditary Duke
of SAKE Wcimar. Her majesty was
dressed with great simplicity, in white
pink roses, and pink roses in her hair,
and diamond necklace looped behind
in the braids of her hair, and n diamond
fienicrc. Mrs. Webster appeared to
have enjoyed the royal dinner. Two
bands were playing i'll adjoining apart
ments. The Queen was first helped
on all occasions. At tho close of the din.
her the Queens health was drank, all
standing, she alone sitting and bowling
all around during the ceremony. Mr..
Webster had long conversation with
her majesty, and thought her intelligent
and agreeable. She is also said to be
encgcrtic and with decided will of her
own. On recent occasion she thus
replied to Lords Melbourne and Palmer
ston, who were urging her on some
point to which she was averso:
"What is the Use of being queen if
one cannot do as one likes o.
Her majesty appeared to highly enjoy
the dance, and was ready with her little
foot forward to commence tho first mo-
ment the music sounded. AS the Prin-
cess Victoria, she was celebrated for
her charming singing with the piano
forte, but as queen these accomplish
ments arc considered as undignifed, and
her voice is now heard only in the pri-
vacy of her own closet, and never in the
drawing-rooms of the Palace, as form
orly.

All, there he ls, lad at the plough;
He beats the boys for work,
And whatsoe'er the task might be
None ever saw him shrk.
And he can laugh, too, till his eyes
Run DER with mirthful tears,
And sing full many an old-time song
In spite OF seventy years.

Time for a half-hour's rest;"
And farmer John took out his lunch
And ate 1t with q zest.

Or mending fences, far, for NE

"You ask mo why feel 80 young,
Pm sure, friends, can't tell,
But think 1t Is my go0d wife's fault
Who's kept HE up 80 well;
For women such rs she arc scarce
In this poor vale OF tears;
She's given me love, and hope, and strength
For more than forty years.
"And then my boys have all done well,
As far rs they have gone, -
And that thing warns an old mans blood,
And helps him up and on,
My girls have never caused a pang,
Or raised up anxious fears;
Then wonder not that feel young
And hale at seventy years.

And let me sit and rcst7
All! fpcnds, that wouldn't do for nc:
