Sarah Douwdney, in Good Words, THE OLD STORY. A sober, half-discontented face at the window—a bright face in the street. The window is thrown open, and a smile goes from the bright face to the sober one, giving it a new and pleasanter as- pect. Both faces are young—that at the window youngest; almost child-like. | Yet the window-face is the face of a wife, and the street-face that of a maiden, “ fancy-free.” i “How strangely I was deceived, Billa!” said the lady in the street. “ Deceived! How, Mary? What do you mean? But, come in, you're just the one I wish to see.” . “J was sure I saw you, not ten pun- utes azo, riding ont with Harry,” said the voung friend, as they met and Kissed at the door. “Oh, dear, no!

Tm She spoke now, rather from a desire to help her friend into a better state of perception, than from any clear sight in the matter, “1 think,” she said, ** that having now your husband, you have fallen into the error of thinking that personal at tractions are not needed to hold him by your side. Now, it is my opinion that if Harry had found you in your present untidy condition——and you are often in in a single instance off the engagement; and I'm sure that in a suit for breach of promise, if 1 had been on the jury, a verdict in his favor would have been rendered.” Della did not smile at this closing | sally, bat sat looking into her friend's | face in a strange, bewildered, troubled way. The intimation that her husband had been riding omt with a lady, when it fairly reached her thought, gave her a sharp pain. It had never entered her imagination that he could look, with a passing sense of admiration, into any face but hers—that his heart could turn 1 her to another for a single instant of time, She had perceived that he was colder, mare indifferent, loss careful of her pleasures than in the sunny days of their courtship and betrothment- but, that he could seek another's society, was a thing unheard of. It was a pro- verb, this contrast between lovers aad husbands; and she had felt she was proving its truth. That was all. It was an unpleasant truth, and hard to receive; yet she saw no remedy. But now, by a word or two, her friend has started her into a different view of the Was her husband's heart really tarned from her? She was frisghtened at the remote suggestion--for in his love lay all her world. “You are not really in earnest, Mary, about seeing Harry riding out with a lady this afternoon ¥” she said in a voice and with a look that re',ealed fully her state of mind. The eslor had left her face, and her heart sb ook in her voice. “ Probably I wai mistaken, Bella” replied the friend; *“ th ongh I had not doubted the fact a mo gent, until 1 saw vou at the window a 'ittle while ago.” “Did you notice? ,e lady very par larly y : oA “No: but les No doubt I "g9 ing you mo pe ed.” Be'ls looked at b some mr others, in &.X svn: a low, SAPPY. o ber forward and ¥,.: ¥ sem, sobbing _- * i i turbulan’.q of feeling that her frienc recame aot ql1y alarmed. “You ¥ ave frightened me !” said the y i my CRS, matte ictak - PRs{ dear nse a I 3 than" ~~.

D., at 182 Spruce street, Philadel- phia, the wellknown tune of the ““ President's March,” which was either composed by Roth or Roat (Philip ?), at 25 Or Philadelphia, between 701-1799, or by Phyl, of Philadephia, whose oldest son assisted in the per formance at Trenton when Washington was inapgursted. The descendants of Hopkinson hold Washington's lelter of acknowledgment, A young man whose benefit was to take place at the Philad«lphia theater, being greatly discouraged by his prospects, called on Hopkinson for a patriotic song one Saturday after. noon to increase his chance of snocess. By Sunday afternoon it was ready; on Monday morning it was advertised to be sung that evening. Its success was then so great that it was repeated more than once overy night and the andience joined in the chorus. War with France was then considered inevitable.

Since the war he has had the cholera, smallpox, yellow fever, been hitten by a snake, struck by lightning and had three ribs broken by a falling wall during an earthquake in one of the | South American States.

The leaves, the kernel, as well as the pulp of the fruit, are fermented to- gether, and honey is also added, and Maraschino is the result of the product of distillation, The largest and grand. est cherry trees are found in West Vir. ginia, from four to six and seven feet through, and sometimes 100 feet high. The wild cherry is more commonly | called chake cherry; it is found in the Eastern and Middle States, in the far West, in Utah and other Rocky Moun- tain States, and in Oregon. When properly preserved, the cherry makes a most agreeable and delicious sweetmeat. 1t may be made into com- | potes, marmalades, jams, pastes, syrups, | jellies, cordial, wines and brandies. The cherry fumishes one of the rich- est flavors for ice-cream and water ices, thus fornishing materials of an endless variety of confections and dessert dishes, The fruit in this country has not at. | tained all the excellence of which it is capable, and it is hoped horticulturists will exert themselves and aim at still | higher perfection in the cherry, so as to make farmers interested in its cultiva- tion, that the tree may be planted in highways and byways, ornamenting | grounds and public roads. — Planter and | Yrmer, i RTOWS i —— ! “Are vou fond of flowers quired. ‘Very much so," he repliec | “ What ave your favorite flowers" she | further inquired. * Tulips,” he an: | swered, as his eyes dwelt admiringly | upon the twin cherries that were parted in a ravishing smile, displaying * teeth like ivory dipped in milk,” as Joe Brad- ford says. ‘There was a pause.

Before me ties;” a man below the medium height, and of stont build; modest in manner, and of pleasant address, Vehnor has a hardy, weather-beaten eountenance, and is of sandy complexion, and pre- sents an appearance that does not indi. cate a man over thirty-five vears of age. Making known my mission, I was warmly welcomed by Vennor, and in the privady of the * weatlier bureau” the Tima cor- respondent was told the history and secret of the “machine” which has evolved such terrible blizeards as nave visited the United States and Canada this winter, “ What position do yon eceupy in the government service ¥' asked your corre- spondent of Mr. Vennor. Vennor replied: “One of the late Bir William Logan's staff of field explorers and naturalists, IT was ng on the survey of Canada by Sir William in 1865, when I spent four months in a tent on the Great Manitoulin island in Lake Huron. I have been out continually since, exploring different sections of Canada. Besides geology; I stiidy orni- thology, and have men out a! private expense making collections. I am en- gaged now on & work on the ‘Birds of Canada.” In answer to the gunestion as to what prompted him to make weather predic. tions, Vennor said: “It was on account of mistakes made by supposed authorities when 1 was in guest of information myself. Finding these altogether unreliable, I com. menced a series of observations for my- self, and soon fared much better.” “When did you first make your pre. dictions?" “In the fall of 1875," answered Yen: nor, “and on my return froth a survey of the Madawaska and Bonnechere rivers, in Eastern Ontario. The attempt was 80 novel and startling that the press termed i ‘ Vennor's daring prediction.’ My predictions were fulfilled almost to the letter, and much more closely than I had dared anticipate.” Veunor stated the grounds on which he makes his predictions to be as follows: First, on the Peineipls of recurring periods in the weather at irregular but ascertainable intervals; second; from a close study of charts of the winters for past seasons embracing a period of fifty years; third, from upward of eighteen years’ out-of-doors and camp life, and original observations of the habits of birds and animals; fourth, from impressions intditively formed and not describable. Regarding the correctness of his predictions, Vennor further said: * My first, or general impressions of each year have been, in the main, correct. In ‘misses,’ bub wy its’ far outnumber these. The month or Yebraary is found the most difficult to predict =" In regard to winters of excessive eld and snowfalls, Vennor instanced the following: Winter of 1857, which was extremely cold; 1858, which had the coldest February on record; 1861, having s very cold January and February. The vears 1869 and 1879 were years of great snowfalls. All the vears ending with a 0, as 1860, 1870 and 1880, have been cold. This theory seems to be pretty fully exemplified by the present extreme cold winter. So far as the winter of 1880-81 is con- cerned, the predictions made by Vennor have, in several instances, been fulfilled in a striking manner. He prophesied that December would open with snow god that cold weather would prevail during the second quarter, followed by a mild spell. A brief interval of mild December, with milroad blockades, the {to Washington and beyond), this latter prediction being literally fulfilled. For January a cold snap was prophesied, with blockades of snow in the United States (which ocenrred) for the first The middle of the month was to bring a second blockade, followed by milder weather, For February Vennor predicted mod- erate weather nntil the 12th, followed by storms and winds on the 15th, mild, spring-like weather succeeding, with high winds closing the month. March was to maintain its reputation as a windy month. April was to come in with Shas frosts and snow-falls. Warm weather an thunder storms will prevail after the 20th, The: month will be wet on the whole, Snow-falls in May should be looked for, and hot weather on the 10th, followed quarter, sultry. The summer will be excessively hot and the fall will be cold and wet.
