Proverbs About Rain.

When there is unusual cIearness in
the atmosphere, and objects are sem
very distinctly, there Will probably be
rain. Wh,n clouds are gathering
toward the sun at setting, with rosy
hue, they foretell rain.
Evening .ray and morning red
Put on your hat, Or you'll wet your head.
If rain commences before day, it will
stop before s A, NJ. if it begins about
noon, it will continue through the after,
noon; if not till 5 ?. NJ, it will rain
through the night if 1t clears oft in the
night, it will rain the next day.
Fit rams bct re seven,
1t will clear before eleven.
If it rains before sunrise, expect a
fair afternoon. If it rains when the
sun shines, 1t will rain the next day. If
clouds appear suddenly in the south,
expect RAIN.
Rain from the south prevents the drouth,
Bat rain from the west is always best.
When rain comes from the west, it
will not continue long. If rain falls
during an east wind, it will continue q
full day. Ii an assemblage Of small
clouds spread on. OF become thicker or
darker, expect rain. Dark clouds in the
west at sunrise Indicate rain on that
day. Small inky clouds foretell rain.
If the sky after fine weather becomes
heavy with small clouds expect ram.

battle he lost one of his legs, He was
left on the field, the lpen beng too busy
to care for him, but some days after
ward he Iimped iuto camp. A surgeon
Of the Twenty seventh New York fixed
up the stump, and in the course Of time
it healed. Budge WAS all through the
peninsula campaign. and during the
advance and retreat he hobbled along
and during engagements followed his
favorite pastimt, chasing cannon balls
and shells. Nothing could abate his
zeal in that direction. Bulge followed
the troops back to Washington, took
part IN the second battle of Bull Run,
the battle of South Mountain, and then
hobbled along until he reached Antlet.

Bulge chose to take part in the conflict
on our right, and seemed to ENJOY it
He was very busy that day, and had

shells to look after, too. When the
