to hi: r:. i: 'i; it thk i Sir.—l can add to "T.A.S.V e.«>ay ou weather signs only some lir.c?. taken from "T.'Vs Y/cckly" wir.u vears oao. An cldorly professor had t• > lake a K i: '! on' walking: "The h'i'U> - .v nv !!''!•• The clouds look black. '.no i:la.- - is low; Tito H»t talis down, till Sn.ime sleep. And spiders from tnc:r clmcucreep; Lasl niynt the sun v.cii! pale In bed; The moon i'l haloes hid In r head. The boiiuis shepherd heave.- a ,v«h. For see: a rainbow .-pans the iky; The v.-nils are damp, the ditche.-. smell, Closed is the pink-eyed pimpernel; The ixjualid loads a I dus-k were teen Slowlv crawling o'er the .qrcei.; Loud quack the duck?, the peacocks cry. The distant l'.iils are looking nigh; Hark: how the chairs and tables crack: Old Betty's joints arc- on the rack; And see yon rooks-, how odd their flight: They imitate the gliding kite. How restless are the snouting swine; The busy flics disturb the kino; Low o'er the ;;rass the swallow swiin;.-'-; The cricket, too. how loud he sim;s! Puss on the hearth, with velvet paws. Sits wiping o'er hrr whiskered jaw.-. 'Twill Itncly i;i,ii: 1 sec with sorrow Ojr jaunt mm t be put oil morrow." - -Yours, etc.. ,! S. March 21. 10,Jl.
