SIGNS OF FOUL WEATHER.
by DIR. JENNER.

The hollow winds begin to blow:
In Inc clouds look black, the glass Is low;
Inc SCOT falls down, the spaniels sleep,
ana spiders from their cobwebs peep.
Last night the sun went pale to bed;
Tho moon in halos hid her head
The boding shepherd heayes a sigh,
For, soc, rainbow spans tho sky.
The walls are damp, the bitches smell;
closed 10 the pink-eyed pmpernel.
Hark how the chairs and tables cracl.s
Old Betty's joints are on the rack
Her corns with shooting pains torment her,
And to her bed untimely sent her.
Loud quaok the ducks; the soa-fowl cry;
The distant hills are looking nigh.
How restless are the snorting swinel
The busy flies disturb the kline.
Low DER the grass the swallow wings;
The cricket, too, how sharp he singsl
Puss on the hearth, with velvet paws,
Sits wiping DER her whiBkered Jaws.
The smoke from chimneys right ascerds,
Then, spreading, back TO earth it bonds.
The wind, unsteady, veers around,
Or settling in the south is found.
Through the olear stream the fishes rise
And nimbly catch tho incautious flies.
The glowworms humorous, clear and bright,
!lumed the dcwy hill last night
At dusk the sQualid toad was seen,
Like quadruped, stalk DER the greon.
Tho whirling wind the dust oboys,
And In the rapid eddy plays.
The frog has changed his yellow vest
And In russet coat is dressed.
The sky is green, tho air is still,
The mellow backbird's voice is shrill.
Ihe dog, 30 altered in his taste,
Quits mutton-bones on grass to feast
Behold the rooks-how odd their fight T.
They initiate the gliding kite,
And seem precipitate to fall,
AS If they felt the piercing ball
Tho tender colts on back do lie,
Nor heed the traveller passing by.
In fiery red the sun doth rise
Then wadcs through clouds TO mount the skies
Twill surely rain, we scot with sorrow-
No working in the fields tomorrow.
The Hne, "HarkI how the chairs and table
nk," is incorrect, as the crackingthat is contrac

never know what to do with their love letters:
and nearly every one has a different way Of
dealing with such missiyes. To the sentimental
girl they are always very nice to have near.
because one always likes Ia read them over and
over, and on stormy days almost every girl over
hauls her love letters and goes back and has a
good time again. The practical girl knows that
love letters while charming and innocent
enough to her i'm some cases. might become
more dangerous than can of dynamite. That girl
doesn't keep her letters and tie them up in a
blue ribbon and let somebody else yet hold of
them and bring them into court al some time or
another. She know too much for that
All girls. however. are not practical-yery few

str0yed with any great unanimity. I'm such

is more or less problem. If girls have not the
cruelty to destroy them they ought to be made

waste of sweetness to have them hidden away
from the eyes of everybody doing no good to
any but the dear young thing who mas received
them. She can delight herself i'm turning them

which ought to be highly satisfactory to that
portion of the human race which never writes
love-letters, il there be such. The Iowa young
woman has had all her love-letters bound in
book form, and in that way she keeps them on
her parior table for the entertainment of visit
Ors along with the family album. This gives
the Young lady's fortunate visitors an even
chance for a pleasant evening. for there is prob
ably nothing more delightfully."- entertaining
than series of love letters which lead YOU
through all the ups ami downs of a couple of
iiuttering hearts. We fear, however. that the
Iowa plan will not be accepted by gil.s in gen

letters must be adopted. The young women
