of the Thuringian forest, which is only
about three . miles above ns, diVides two
weather systems, which occasionally over
lap each other. - It is difficult • to realise
that less rain falls here annually than in
our Middle States, and I am *lined to
suspect that the comparison _ Was based
on the estimate of a single year; which
did 'not represent the normal; average:
In the chronicles of the country; there are
accounts of years in the, thirteenth and
fourteenth centuries, when so much rain
fell that the harvests were destroyed, and
thousands of persons died of [linger end
of a pestilence engendered by the Totten
grain On the other hand, it is tale that
the streams which iisue from these moun
tains are remarkably small, and but slight
ly swollen after Leavy rains. The deep
bed of spongy moss which forms the floor
of the forest; holds much of the moist
ure; and perhaps accounts for both facts
An atmospheric phenoMenon, scarcely
known to us, is of frequent occurrence
here. It is called the cloud- b urst, a term
which describes its character: The
clouds, heavily laden, and-baged or rolled
together by the wind, suddehlY
,break
down under their combined burden, and
discharge' a deluge of water, which often
occasions immense damage to' the fields
and herds,. Where the btirst Laves place
at the head of a narrow valley an in
,
stantaneous flood is formed, from ten to
twenty feet in depth, uprooting trees and
sweeping houses.-from their foundations_
A few weeks ago the town of Skiihlen,
not far frow Jena, was visited by one of
these cloud bursts, whereby _thirteen .per
sons were drowned and wore than twenty
buildings destroyed In countries which
hare nor yet been denuded of their for
ests, such a phenomenon is los likely to
occur. Richardson dcribes a cloud
burst which orerwhehnued his camp at
the frmtier of Ashen, in the Sahara, and
our trappers can tell of others on the
plains.
Hail-storms are so frequent and so de

structive in Northern Germany, that the

speak lat another time, .Let us now re
turn to the Fourth of July. ' ,
There was no reading of the Declara
lion of Ipdependence, for the very geod
reasrOhat we have no copy tfier4ot.
Neither was there any oration portraying
the greatness and glory of Our Country,
beeauSe it has yet to be demonstrated, by
the laSt and severest test, that our cotiu
try ,ts truly great and glorion's On this
day of this year, 1861, orations are out of
place.' But a ivided family„ united,for
the first time in three years, took their
places at the round table, and when ihe
trout 'and the roast-beef (quite as mach
an American as an Engtish rentiniscenCe)
had disappeared, a young • German spoke
thus :: 'Seeing that we, whose hopes and
labors are directed toward the establi4a-
went of German unity and nationatitY,
cannot be indifferent to the preservation
of th 6 American Union, which is in many
respects the realization of our own pelit
ical, ideas—seeing that so many of "oar
6ountrymen have become American citi-
Zeus, and 'bat a thousand ties of blood
and friendship unite us—seeing, mord
over,,that in the present struggle we: re
cognize a conflict between Barbarism and
CivilizatioA, between. Anarchy.and Order;
let 'us drink to the success of the Defend-
ers of the
. Union, and the triumph - of the
GoOd Cause !"
We all rose and drank the toast stand
ing;, and the silvery clinking Of the glasses
was like a peal of distant bells, ringing
in the (let us hope) not distant day of our
national redemption.
After one of the inevitable showers,
the day again became bright. and baltuv.
Our 'arm-chairs Were transferred to the
shadow of an apple-tree on the little lawn,
and (chile the younger tallies indulged in
