'Nay, ehilihI was very happy while my

that Alfred in his love for me was quite
sane, and perhaps more sincere than many
wiser men;
After this confidence,Miss Phohe seem-
ed to take a great pleasure in speaking of
the little romance ofber youth. Often the
old and the young maddens sat in the twi-
light discussing the probabilities of poor
Alfred Compton's life and death, and ever
discussion left them mere and morepo
tive that he had been the -ictiin of some
cruel plot. The -subject never tired Miss
Playbe, and Julia, in the absence of a lover
of her own, found in it a elierm quiteiu
keeping withher own yciUthful dream's.
One cold night in the middle of January
-they had talked Over the old subject _Mita
both felt it to be exhausted -at least _foe
that night. -Julia drew aside -the heavy satin
curtaNis; and looking out,.said, • Itis snow-

flow to $litudy the Piky. Wind and Clouds.
John If. Tice, the weather prophee of
St. Louis, gives the following directions to
those who aspire to be weatherwise :
As everybody is interested in the weath-
er, so each one should qualify himself or
herself to read the sky aud to interpret the
meaning of the winds, sky and clouds.
-An intensely blue aud serene sky indicates
hea4Vy rains "Led severe storms in from
twelve to forty-eight hours. A gray, lazy
sky indicates continuous dry and generdly
hot y'veatlier.
- A southeaSt v-ind indicates the elistcnce
of a low bareine-tere if not a storm centre,
in the- northweet. The aspect of tile sky
and clouds will tell whether it means reis-
chief or not. An almost immediate CCI;Sa-
tion of. rain may be -expected as soonite. the -
northwest winds set in. It 'natters „uot
what the _aspeets of the sky•are when he
west winds' set in, fair weather will eneue
after it aild'continuo from three to four
days. The passage of a storm centre
from the Gulf and southeastward of our
locality is a partial exception only so lex:
that it clears ofl more tardily.
