Professor Hazen, of the Signal Office,
who has been stopping on the mountain,
believes that he has found the explanation
of the extraordinary velocity Of the wind
on top of Mount Washington. His idea
is that the great gulfs below compress the
atmosphere, which, seeking an outlet,
rushes up the sides of Mount Washington
and sweeps over its summit.

thus often causing d long delay of very
important information. 1t was not of
rare occurI ence to see some influential
business man snter the office, mad with
rage, and ready to abuse us for holding
his letter for one cent postage. The
object of the original or regulation was
to prevent an evil that might have ex-

spiting their enemies by sending letters
without stamps, and having the salts
faction of seeing the receiver lose his
few cents for nonsense, which would
naturally create a grand kick.

A Late Begsing Dodge.

Zach winter New Yerk seems to de-

was Walking quickly on the south side
of the street, when His attention was
attracted by hearing loud ''helloaw
from the north side. He turned and
sew d young woman reckoning wildly
to him. The repeitet stepped and the
young woman hurried across the street.
When she came near he saw that she
Yves young and plain looking, and was
dressed i'll long, shaggy ulster and
had red wooden mitten5 Upon her
hands. Her hat was black and of a
cheap kind. Altogether she presented
the appeatarse of a house servant who
had been belated on her wsy home.
She wrung her hands and said in dis
tressea tone: oh, sir, | lost my
change out OF my slovs. It is now q
quarter of 10 and l have to be at Fifty
third street by 10 o'clock, or the house
where l am employed will be closed
and will be locked out and lose my
ten cents"
The reporter handed her the money
and walked on. Curiosity impelled
him to linger on the corner, and with
in fifteen minutes he saw her collect
nearly ss many dimes from gentlemen
whom she, accosted in the same way
as she had addressed him.

Our Own Faults.

Let us not be oyer-anXious about the
failings Of others, but take account Of our
own; let us bear in mind tho eXcellencles
Of other mep, while we reckon up our own
faults, fol then shall we be weii-pleasing
to God. For he who looks ut the faults Of
others, and at his own excellencies, is in-
jured In two ways; by the latter h9is car
ried up to arrogance, through the former
he falls In listlessness. For when he per-
ceives that ouch an one hath sinned, very
easily he will sin himself; when he per
ceiyes he hath 10 aught excelled, very easi-
ly he becometh arrogant. He who consigns
to oblivion his own excellencies, and looks
at his failings only, whilst he Is q curious
engineer Of the excellencies, not the sins OF
others, Is profitable in many ways. And
how? | will tell you. When he sees that
such an one hath done exceedingly, he is
raised to emulate the same; when he sees
that he himself hath sinued, he is rem
dered humble and modest. II we act thus
II We thus regulate ourselves. we shall be
able to obtain the good things which we
are promised, through the loving kindness
of our Lord Jesus Christ.
