Mr. Larkspur was out in his or chard, gathering apples for cider making. The trees were weighed down with their heavy fruitage, and atKiut their slurdy trunks the clover, all dappled with pink, was blowing in purple waves. Mr. larkspur's orchard was ample and prolific; his fields, pastures, gardens all thriving and luxuriant, his worldly jiossissions plentiful enough. Nevertheless Mr. Larkspur, though prone, as a usual thing, to liear a thankful heart and a cheerful countenance. a at tnis time not at all bright of visage or merry of spirit. Lifting his head from a half t'Ushei baeket of garnet and gold fruit, he colli I see between great, lazily-leaning tree trunks, and across a gra-sv l ine, the pretty bit nf a cottage be Iniik'ing to hw nearest neiiihlmr, Mis R.iwena Divis, Ui-'-ed in amidst r-lig.-if-inaples atnl i-iiver leavel pop lars like a brown chocolate drop in frii.g; paper. Aid Mr. Larkspur, thinking of Mis- Rowena. sighed. Th v wi re only neighbors, now. Thtre had beer, a time when they we-re tooil friends remarkably gxx fneiiils. Rut ths.t was before a cer tain obnoxious Captain SkaggS had come to Ii ixter's Cross Roads ; be fore Mr. larkspur had said unkind things on his account to Miss Row ena, and she had said unkind things to him ; before ibeir crowning bat tie, wherein he had bitterly observ ed that she was rather more of a co quette than became her years, and she had retorted, with hasty inele gance, that as far as years were con cerned, a pot should not call a kettle black. And from that point matters had stood stock still until the previous Sunday at church, from which time Mr. Larkspur began to think lit had some reason for suspecting that Miss Rowena was repenting ot her folly ana obstinacy- lie gamereu uie idea from trifles a half glance, quickly withdrawn ; a faint, peach bloomy blush ; and. now he came to think of it. she had lingered a little ju-t outside the gate after meeting. where he might easily have joined her, as she, perhaps, wished to give him the opportunity of doing. He regretted now that he had not done so, instead of poking off with Mrs. Leacon Cottonwood, and listen ing to the interesting history of the deacon's five " biles." Mr. Larkspur sighed again as his eye roamed over Miss Kowena s pretty domain and down to her black berry patch just the other side of the lane a thicket of tangled, trailing bushes, with tufts of wild, rai k-growing grass waving high, like plumes; and there it rested, for there lie lieheld Miss Rowena's pink gingham sun bonnet just above a feathery bunch of grass, looking like a big pink flower growing there. It wouldn't be very hard to step acrta-s the lane Bud stieak to her. There was no use keeping up a fool- ih quarrel; someone had to sjieak first, and Without giving himself time to back down from his purpose, Mr. Larkspur scaled the fnce and cross ed the lane. He was half inclined to run away again when be got with in speaking distance ; for what ifshe had taken frsh i-th-nsc at bis having l.t slip the- onportunitv of making . . ... . . - . . up she had given him. and scorn his t.irdv ovirtures? However, he-encouraged himself b selecting a ioeitioii w here a flour ishing wild gravine, clambering into a hickory sapling at the edge of the field could screen him a little, and break the force -f scornful looks and sharp words, should such lie his portion Ills htatt J-'ltcl up ana tluwn t.t rvouslv at sight of that bonnet. j w ith its de p caeand full frill, and uii me ngni nnen sacnue neiow : even the well known striped calico apron dimly seen under the drooping grass and vine-sprays.

Mr. Larkspur stood beside his meadow bars, sentimentally out ofjthe Gulf of Mexico and suffer any temper. Miss Rowena s snubs of i the day before had filled him with anger and sorrow. He frowned and sighed alternately. Raising his ees to the chocolate-drop cottage beyond the lane, he saw Miss Rowena among which can Iks traced from the Pa the hollyhocks in the back yard L.-ijc acniS! the mountains) and mre feeding her chickens, with a blue veil tied over her head ; and he knew just how the little flax-brown waves of her hair rippled up under its rim in their own sweet odd fashion, until her face seemed set in a blue and gold frame. The next moment he scowled. The swinging form of Captain Skaggs was coming rapidly up the lane. He did not appear to see Miss Row ena ; his eyes were fixed on the blackberry patch and he was making directly toward it. Mr. Larkspur's eyes involuntarily followed, and then he gave a sudden jump and rubbed them, ami then he climUd upon a bar to scrutinize the berry patch more closely. There was Miss Rowena's pink bonnet still, the cape fluttering in the morning air ; there was her lin en sacque, and beside her the tin bucket refheting tbesuu in a gleam ing white ring from its edge all Ju1 " ''a1 been yesterday ii i . i. i . . . i He looked across at It- figure among the hollyhocks. That was Miss ICoweua, beyond a doubt. A biiUden impulse, and an equally sud den kpring, aent Mr. Larkspur over the bars and across the lane, and up the 4-oclck bordered wal through Miss Rowena's yard. it was Rowena among the holly hocks; I, tr gentle, wondering hrnw n ets were turned directly toward him, while the rose color crpt intu the face iu the blue and gold frame. "Ena," cried Mr. Larkspur, "it wasn't you in the black fernes yes terday that snubbed and sulked at me, was it?'' Rowena turned her eyes toward the pink bonnet, for whose lenefit Captain Skaggs appeared to be in dulgingin much ehiquence of sjech and gesture, while the provoking thing nodded and droopr-d as it had when Mr. Larkspur talked to it, turned them back to Mr. Larkspur, and a ripple of laughter startled the bees in the hollyhocks. It's only my lionnet and sacqur," she said. bop It y nxed them up there vesterdar to look like me, so the hoys wouldn t pet ad the !ernes - while we were away, and I supjvise j she forgoto take them away this f morning. She set th bucket of j berries alongside as an extra bit of ; strategy. 1 hat sail. Captain Skaggs soon discovered his mistake and started to the house, but perceiving a pair of radiant, un mistakable lovers amemg the holly hocks he changed Lis mind, and went home.

This letter, which has been wide ly disseminated by the press of the country, might well receive no offi cial notice but for the fact that many peonl fallacies which underlie these predictions. In theexample afford ed by Mr. Wiggin's letter the follow ing may be pointed out: 1. No storm track has ever been observed which moved in the path indicated by the words "first be felt in the Northern Pacific, would ap pear in the Gulf of Mexico on the ing"a storm though they may null ify its course, and it is difficult to understand how a storm can pro- iceed from the Pacific to Canada via reflection whatever from the Rock v Mountains. There are two distinct of storms which traverse this CoUr.try the one which enters the country in the north west (some of easterly or southeasterly to the At lantic, and the other which enters the country in the Gulf States and more northeasterly along the coast. It sometimes, though rarely, hap pens that two storms, one of each class, unite in their course, which may give a slight semblance of truth to such a description as that given above, but it should be distinctly noted that the words quoted will not stand a critical examination. The same may le said of the sentence which alludes to the "planetary force" causing a submersion of low lands, and the air currents on the east of the Rocky Mountains spread ing universal destruction. Should a severe storm area cross the coun try in an easterly direction from the Iiot ky Mountains, strong southeast wii ds wiil blow towards the storm centre in advance of it and strong nor h west winds will follow it, ac cording to a well established law of rotation of the winds in the vic niiy of an area of low barometer. This is all tha can he truthful in the sentence under discussion. There is no "great atmospheric pressure in the region of the Rocky Moun tains, except that an area of high pressure may temporarily prevail there, and the words "planetary force" belong t the vocabulary of astrology and media-val superstition iiMn which modern science cannot le too severe. '2. It is absolutely impossible to predict a storm for more than a fe days in advance. The information cannot tie too widely distributed that no one can foretell even the general character of a coming sea son, much less the occurrence tf a particular storm in that season. It is possible that the advance of our knowledge may at some time ena ble ns to predict the weather for many days in advance, but this is not possible at the present time. Meteorology is yet in its infancy, and no or.e is yet able to anticipate the occurrence of a meteorological phenonenon for more than a few days a week at the most If any one will take the trouble te v rifv the weather predictions which in these davs are so frequently made ny tne actual weather ex perienced. he wjjj flnd that about one-half ot trir.m are fulfilled and half faiL When a given prediction is fulfilled it is often made a matter of marked comment, while the nnfulfillment of a similar prediction at another time is passed over in silence. The impression, therefore, prevails that reliance can le placed opon the fore castings of weather prophets, but this impression will be removed by era any one who will give attention to tlie subject. A series of. simple jrues-ei, based upon no reasoning whatever, will come true in the Ions; run ns m:inv times nt thev will fail. Until, then, weather nredictions are ic i-ii j - .11 rri luuiuea more nines man uity wu, 1 thev must be regarded as eouiva- lent to gues.es and as havitio; no valno whatt-vpr All i.ri-dii-tioiw of the weather to he expected a month or more in advance, whether ba.-etl of the moon, or upon the numU r of sun-spoti, or upon any supposed law of periodicity of natural phe nomena, or upon any hypothest whatever which to-day has its ad vncates. are as unreliable as predic- lions of the time when the end of the world will come. There is a difficulty in refuting the assertions of those who pretend to foretell the weather since their predictions frequently relate to oc currences which are almost sur ti prove in part as foretold. Thus the prediction of early snow in the northwest in August orSeptemWr is a very safe one to make, if one (claims the right to test it by the I Similarfv the prediction of a storm i i' March is quite certain to be ful- s '-' jj - " the number of storms which pre- vailed in this country in March has averaged twelve, varying from ten in and 18S2 to eighteen in 187'J. Some ol these have been verv se- vere, arid it rarely happens that the month of March passes ingany year without the occurrence of one or more storms accompanied by high winds upon the Atlantic coast. Un doubtedly in March, 1S83, there wiil be storms of some severity, and some persons will be found who will notice the storm which comes near est to March 11 and claim that Mr. Wiggins' prediction was v-rified, only that it was a day late, or a day early, or was not quite as severe as anticipated, or moved in a slightly different path, or in some other way dillt rent in detail from that describ ed, but that it was sufficiently near to entitle the author to a high rank as a prophet. Let no one expect his prediction to be fulfilled t the let ter it is safe to say it will not be; but let every one expect that the eoming March will, like all its pred ecessors in the memory of man, be characterized by storms of greater or less severity.

The published statement that the United S'tates Signal Ser vice has such confidence in Mr. Wiggins that it displayed storm sig nals on the Lakes three days in ad vance of a recent storm, on tle strength of his prediction, needs no comment exceptan emphatic denial. The Signal Service is independent of any one who claims to foretell the weather; it works by its own methods and endeavors to keep pace with every real advance in the sci ence of meteorology but to avoid everything which belongs to the realm of foolish imaginings. In point of fact, the Service lias fir-t learned of any predictions made by Mr. Wiggins from the letter under present discussion, and in the case, above mentioned, storm signals were not displayed on the Likes till a few hours lefore the approach of the storm in question. Too severe rebuke cannot he in flicted rjpon those who attempt to deceive or needlessly alarm the eo pie by publishing such staten ents as that of Mr. Wiggins. Their words are totally untrustworthy and the people should be so informed by those who are familiar with the sub jects uiion which these prophets pre sume to speik. Such statements fill lunatic asuums, and those who j make them are enemies of society. ! Their publication is a pestilence, and it is the duty of all persons who Know and prize the truth to tie-1 nounce them and enlighten those who might believe them. W. B. Hazes. Chief Signal Officer.

Housekeepers make a great mis take when they allow their vegeta bles to be washed at all until just ready to put on to cook. Many leave all kinds of vegetables to stand, cohered with cold water, for a lorig tiie after washing, and by doing so lose a large portion of the natural sweetness and flavor. .Many grocers think they cannot sell their vegeta bles unless they wash theiii free from the earth that is on them when dug up, or they insist on the farm ers washing them before they will buy. To make them look fresh and handsome they sacrifice a large por tion of the best part of the root. If iariiitri washed their potatoes, tur nips, carrots, etc., after digging them, before putting into the cellar, they would be spcihd in a month. The earth about them is an absorbent and preservative of the less volatile element' of the root, which evator- ate quickly after being washed. How often city people speak of the 'excellent flavor ot the vegetables they sometime eat m country hoiiies, and wonder why they cannot fe cooked to taste as gosl in the city. It is not lecause the farmer's w ife understands the art of cooking vegetables any better than the city dame, but because she first It-aves her vegetables Hi the earth that covers them, until she needs to put them on to cook.- House-keepers only can cure this ev.I. The mi socer finds that he looses ! t'rne and labor when he washes ! but in their natural covering, then city folks can have as nice vegeta bles on their tables as the farmer is day.

The advent of the beautiful girls in New London and Groion was an event that is still fresh in the memory of Count cticut. The girls received a fashionable Northern education. Private tutors taught thm French, Italian music, phintiiig. and he irts .f the ball room. They were reared in the most pretentious society, and suitors vere not lew. On MsUr married Fred. I'ahni r, of New London. The union w is not a happy one, and a separation soon followed. Another sister was wedded to Commodore Brady, of New York. The honey moon was passed in Paris, wh-xre the bride shone as a society star for a few months. Soon after the couple were divorced. The youngest sister was married to a New York gentle man, and is living happily with her husband. Adelaide, another sister, has lived during the past eightyears at Paris. A few months ago she met Count Cybulski, who is connected with the diplomatic service of Rus sia, and about a month ago she be came .his wife, the nuptials began celebrating in the Church of Notre Dame. She sent wedding cards to her friends in Grotton and New London, dainty pieces of pasttboard, perfumed, adorned with the regal coronet, and bearing the word in Italian: "Countess Cybulski Paris." The young wife is described as tall, 1 lithe, graceful, with olive-tinted skin land lustrous eyes. The Count is little, old, withered and bent with a rhisk of yellow beard. He has tak en his wife to live in the most elegant quarter of Paris. Robert Stafford was loyal to the L'nion.

The great mansion that he built in Groton re mains in treeless and isolated grand eur among the bleak pasture lands, and every tourist that journeys up the Thames Valley inquires ; "Who i..hr owner of that splendid place?" it is many years since a daughter of the Creole slave of the Georgian Islands has revisited the mansion."

Seated in the parlor of her fath er's magnificent residence, Lurline losehair allowed her taper fingers to wander idly over the keys of the piano, and ofiedient to her delicate touch, there floated forth uj-on the air the strains of that beautiful mis r. "tji nee Papa Tore His Pants." And as she sat there, ab sorbed in the sad reflections to which the music gave rise, the door opened softly and Berwyck Hetheriiigton entered the room. Lurline, all the senses of her passionate nature ab sorbed in the music, continued to play, not knowing that the man she loved, and whose pocket book in re turn she would have bustled around with dread earnestness, was stand ing by her side. But at last Ber wyck placed his hand gently on her shoulder, and by that indefinable sense that tell us of a human pres ence, although we see it not, she knew that somebody was around. Turning quickly she saw Mr. Heth eriiigton. "I did not know you were here," she said, a blush flooding the face that such a little time ago was pale and calm, " r I should not have played so confidently." "Can you not favor me with some thing more?" he asked. The blush grows deeper and more vivid now, aad the drooping eyes are moist w ith tears. "I cannot play any other piece," shesavs, half sad ly, half defiantly. "Are you sure of this, Lurline?" Berwyck asks, bending over her in a loving way. "Think well before you speak." he continues, "for od your answer may depend the future happiness of two young lives." "I arn quite sure," she says. "Then you must be my wife." And as bespeaks these words. Ber wvck Hetherington's face light up with a rapturous, Schuyler Colfax smile. "You will come again tomorrow tvpnino-''"' ..he asks.
