Inurance Company Had I met the* in thy beauty, An enterprising traveling agent for a well-known Cleveland tomb-stone manufactory, made a visit to a small town in a neighboring county. Hearing in the vil* lage that a man in a remote part of the township had lost his wife, he thought he ! would go and see him and offer him consolation and a grave-stone, on his usual terms. He started; the road was a horribly frightful one, but the agent persevered and arrived at tho bereaved man's house. Jho bereaved man's hired girl told the agent that tho bereav(ed man was splitting fence-rails over in tho pasture, about two The indefatigable ngent mounted his horse and started for the pasture. After fulling into all manner of mud boles, scratching himself with briers, and tumbling over decaycd logs, tho agont found the bereaved man. In a subdued voice ho asked tho man if be bad lost his wife. The man said he had. The agent was very sorry to hear it, and sympathized very deeply with the man in his great sorrow, but death, he saiu, was an insatiate archer, and shot down all of both high and low degree. Ho informed the man what " was his loss was her gain," and would be glad to sell him a grave-stone to mark tho spot where tbe loved pna slept, marble or common stone, as he chose, at prices defying competition ! The bereaved man said there was a slight difficulty in the way. " Havn't you lost your wife?" inquired the agent. " Why, yes, I have," said the man, " but no grave-stone ain't necessary ; for you see the cussed critter ain't dead; she scooted with another man !" Geo.

HARRINGTON WRIGHT & HARRINGTON, ATTORNEYS AT LAW, Wir.TtlCS-BA.H.KK. PA. $84,571 37 If the question were, "Who makes the wind blow," all of our youns; friends would have a ready answer; they know that God controls all the forces of nature. l!ut he uses means. The sun is His great wind-maker. To understand its action, think of the air as a great ocean like water, but much lighter, entirely surrounding the globe. The sun shines upon this ocean of air, and through it on the earth, heating them both, and imparting most hea' at the earth's surface. But the sun's rays shine more directly down on some parts than on others, and therefore heat them more. Thus, it is always hotter iu the region of the equator, than at the poles. Now heat expands a fluid, making it lighter, and when part of the air is expanded by heat it rises, and the cooler, heavier surrounding air rushes in to fill its place, and thus wind is produced. The following simple experiment will show just how this works. Fill a large tin pail with water in which scatter some fine bread crumbs. Place a burning lamp under the middle of the pail, and the crumbs will soon begin to rise, carried up by the heated column of water, and then making a etirve toward tbe sides, will sink downward, and pass in a horizontal direction along the bottom, just as wind drives along the earth's surface. In a room containing a hot stove, drop into the air, in different places bits of light cotton, or dry thistle blossoms, and you will see how the air is moving at each point. If the earth were aH a plain, and each part received a regular unchanging amount of heat through the year, the currents of air or winds would always move in one direction. But many things prevent this. The tand is more heated than the water by the sun's rays j some soils also absorb heat more readily than others; then at night and during cloudy weather when tbe source of heat is cut off, the heat is radiated or passed out unequally from different localities, and this prodflces variations in the currents. Mountains, and valleys also change the courses of the winds, and other causes such as the varying moisture in the air, and probaly its elcctrical condition, still farther operato to cause them to shift and change, sj that no one can predict with certainty which wuy the wind will blow to-morrow, and "fickle as the wind," has copie to be a proverb. On the ocean where no mountains intervene, and where the heat is quite uniform, currents of air called trade winds blow steadily in one direction. Their course in the northern hemisphere is from nortb-east to south-west, in the southern hemisphere from south-east to north-west. These steady winds are of great service in navigation or trade, as ships are sometimes enabled to glide before them lor weeks without changing a sail. New discoveries are being made almost overy year, and prehaps at some time in the future men may be able to foretell the direction of the wind ; at present, we can only try and make the beet of it from whiohever quarter it comes; though that U a little difficult on some March days, when it seems to blow from all quarters at onoe.

She sent to*New York for her colors,"and ground and mixed them herself. The carpet was nailed down on the garret floor, and sho used to go up there and paint.

Suddenly the tide came in rapidly, and the wqter grew every moment deeper where-, their horses stood; they could not see which way was dry land, they beoame alarmed and bewildered, and destruction threatened them. Bonaparte seemed never to fail for an expedient. He ordered all  a circle, with horses' heads outward. They did so. He now ordered all to ride ahead ; if any found the water growing deepor, they wer« to torn about; if any found it growing shallower, tfcey were to ride on, and all the rest to follow. This brought them to dry land. It is so with busi.neas. Proceed cautiously in different directions; if failure results, wheel about; if success attends, go ahead.
