There will be three eclipses in 1853— two of the Sun, and one of the Moon.

1. June Gd Oh 36m a, there will be an annular eclipse of the sun; to ua invisible. In the west part of South America, and South Pacific Islands, the sun will present a beautiful rins to those that dwell there.

2. June 20d lOh 30m a, there will be a partial eclipse of the moon.

3. November 30d 1 lh 47m m, there will be a total eclipse of the sun, to us invisible. It will continue about 5 hours, and the duration of total iarkness in its course, will last near 3 hours. Its curtains of night, in the lay time, will be spread over South America, and in the North and South Pacific for about 40 degress each side of the equator. It will be a splendid line of worlds — passing.

MORNING STARS.

VENUS will be morning star till the 16th of June; then evening star to the end of the year.

JUPITER will be morning star till the 10th of June, then evening star till Christmas — and v. v.

REMARKS—TO THE READER.

Sagais of the Zodiac, &c.

IP Aries, the Ram, the heart. ^ F.ibra the Scales, the reins.

H Taurus, the Bull, the neck. 1)1 Scorpio, the Scorpion, the secrels.

II Gemini, the Twin*, the arms. f Sagiiarius, the Archer, the thigh.

£3 Cancer, the Crab, the breast. 1£> iiapricornus, tho Goal, the kneos.

Q, Leo, the Lion, the heart. ~ Aquarius, the Waterman, the leg8.

lljj Virgo, the Virgin, the bowels. }£ Pisces, the Fishes, the feet: —

Aro considered uselesr,. for tho simple reason, that the sun has fallen back of the 'old signs,' more than 31 degrees, — so that Pisces, or rather Aquari- us occupies the place of Aries.

The precession or recession of the equinoxes is a speculation a little beyond philosophy. The lack or length of time in this motion of the earth amounts to about 50} seconds a year — which, in about 25,800 years, would fill the whole circuit of the 12 signs — and make a revolution of the sun.

DAYS OF NOTE.

<JHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER DAY SAINTS organized with 6 members, April 6th, 1830.

JOSEPH S.UITH and HYRUM his brother, martyred in Carthage (111.) Jail, June 27th, >844.

PIONEERS entered Great Salt Lake Valley, July 24, 1847.

MOTTOES.

Every man mind his own business.

Religion, or truth, makes the man; and lack of it, tho villain.

The rule of right — "Do as you would be done by."

SIGNS.

Ciean hands and pure hearts manifest themselves by appearance. Figs never grow on thistles, nor grapes on thorns, neither doos a corrupt genera- m leave a virtuous report after it

K. J., King's Jester; d, days; m, minutes and morning; h, hours; 8, • ends; a, afternoon.

The moveable "feasts," practised among Christians, Catholics, and Pa- gans, with very few exceptions, are uninteresting to the saints, and, of course, are omitted.

"The Sixth of April," the birth day of the Church as called from the wilderness, and in memory of the "crucifixion," is hallowed, and should be till "time is no longer."

TOKENS.

Good natured women, a lively family of children, no swearing, nor Sab- bath breaking, nor stealing, show that the ••'combined foil}- of ages," in the shape of Digests, Reports, Statistics, &c, is in the dust, on the shelves, where it ought to be.

A large congregation of smiling faces listening to the truth, with one heart and one mind, indicates that God loves the righteous.

The word "whisky" or "beer" over a door, means, here is the road to ruin.

STATISTICS.

The population of the world may be classed as follows:

Christians .......260,000,000

Jews....'. 14,000.000

Pagans or Heathen, &c 720,000,000

Mormons , 150,000

IS TRUTH.

There is a great and glorious plan,

The only one, forsooth, By which to save degen'rate man,- That only plan is Truth.

For truth takes all in its embrace,

The living — dead — and works, and grace, —

Philosophy, and fruitful hives,

And politics, and endless lives.

EXTRACTS OF EXTRAVAGANZA.

It is said in old histories, and the "Curiosities of Literature," thai Abraham was jealous of his wives, and built an enchanted city for them, even an Iron city. The walls were so high and dark the sun could not bo seen in it. He put his wives in it, and gave them a bowl full of jewels, which sparkled and lit it as light as the sun.

'Tie said also, that Noah lit the ark with jewels and pearls; [And we add

MORMONISM IS TRUTH.

2 Could Truth but have a perfect sway Throughout this world of pain, How soon would come that blessed day, When Peace shall fully reign ? Though Honesty is little known, And out of date has almost grown, — The Truth shall ev'ry nation hear; The just rejoice — the wicked fear.

Salvation belongs to saved beings— but exaltation to the Gods, who organize, redeem, govern, and celestialize worlds; but the world does |

s$ not believe it, because their God has no body.

M

the truth, that the brother of Jared lit the bnrges, says the Book of Mor- mon, with stones touched by the linger of God.] Abraham, when he went, to Egypt, took along a chest, upon which he offered to pay any duty, de- manded at the custom house, provided they would not open the" chest; but open it must come, and there was Sarah, in all the luscious beauty and extravagant simplicity of a prophet's wife! Besides Hessiod's Theogony, and Milton's battles of the angels, or even mountains starting into exist- ence, we have the story of the Roc's egg in the "Arabian Nights Enter- tainment." Even Captain Cook found a bird's nest near New Holland, built with sticks on the ground, 26 in circumference, and 3 feet high.— One of those birds can hide the sun when it Hies up. An egg that fell and broke, glued together more than 300 large cedar trees, and"3 overflowed a village.^ One of those birds, standing in the water up to his knees, tempt- ed a sailor to go there and bathe, but a voice from heaven said, "Beware! a carpenter's broad axe, which fell in there 7 years- ago, hath not vet reached the bottom!"

Now concerning fat geese, the-f ollowing may suffice: The Jews ancient- ly saw a flock of geese so fat that their feathers fell off, and there flowed from them a river of fat. Then said a Jew, shall we have part of you in the next world when the Messiah shall come? And one of them, without a her on him, lifted up a leg and wing, to signify— Yes! yes! for heaven is full of fat geese, otherwise we Israelites would be called to an account for the deeds done in the body. It is our iniquities that delay the comma- >jf the Messiah, and prolong the feast of fat geese.

In conclusion: The world will swallow such stories, and 'en thousand more frivolous, exaggerated, and worthless, in books, novels, and publica- tions of the day, and boast of superior wisdom and discernment, while the Bible, Book of Mormon, and Doctrine and Covenants, all declare that the Messiah shall come in the clouds of heaven in this generation, and destroy the wicked. And who lays it to heart? Who believes it? Ask the Lat- ter Day Saint, not the clergy of the 19th century, who, arc leading a drunken church out of the way of the railroad cars, electric telegraphs and spirit rappers!

THE GREAT RULER.

Jesus said, "the prince of this world cometh, hereafter, and hath noth- ing in me." When the Mormons were mobbed, the mob used to say, "the people rule." Well, we would reply: "the priests rule the people;" and the people replied, the devil rules the priests. So, in the days of Charles 1st, of England, when Dr. Lambe was mobbed by the winks of the Duke of Buckingham, he wrote thus:

<■ Who rules Ihe Kingdom? The Kin-. "Who rules the Kine;? The Duke. "Who rules the Duke? The Devil!"

Who is the "oldest inhabitant?" Adam, according to the Bible. Where did Adam get his seed for the garden of Eden? Brought it from his father's garden. Earthly things are pattcrn'd after heavenly.

JIORMOXISM IS TRUTH.

The spirits of the dead shall know,

That Truth to them is given; Thus all around, above, below,

Through truth may gain a heaven. Truth is a great and endless chain, Which reaches Hades and back again; Then rap ye spirits, rap and lie — Eternal Truth will never die.

MORMOXISM IS TRUTH.

Of piety the world is full —

Religious souls in every place; But ah! good works are very dull, — Rejoice ye sinners in free grace. But he who wins, the Master saith, Must show his works as well as faith. O hypocrites! where will you be? And when will you salvation see?

UNION.

The experience of ages shows that "union" mat h . n eternal, be- cause the sun-lit, moon-tinged, starry In i a, are .as they were from the beginning. Now, I wish and pray for is," as they gather from the nations of the earth, to Gome to the same union. When this globe was organized, the ' I s were into one place, so, when we view the Great Basin, wo see the wat< the < ompass, run to the centre, or Great Salt Lake, and there is n i ,V — but a specimen of union as to con ther, — and is to salt. liere, then, let every sain manufaie- turing all that is needed, and no: ' tore swine/' by buying goods of Jiapl srehantmen, who run back to their '"sties" in

the east, 0 eh, 0 eh, 0 eh! ho-, out ol the d d

Mormons, by charging Jive hundred per < that pitcher to

the weir again— 'tis cracked! "Let the Ld," or let the

world cheat the world — but: ep tlryself unspotted from the woijld!

fflNTS FOIl HUMANITY.

A family hell- — a smoky house, a wife never suited, and a few ragged ur- chins playing cards and s ds.

Paradise lost — a beautiful girl, after having tasted of the good word of God, with a prospect of the "powers to come/5 that runs away and mar- ries a "tare of the field."

What suit costs the most and lasts the longest? A chancery suit.

The riddle in last year's Almanac, was upon the letter "D d."

A question: Why is this genera' ion like lime stone in a kiln? Because it has to be burned and slacked before it is lit for use.

A SONNET ON BOGUS.

A new idea, fresh,

The people all are bogus: Their bodies true arc

But devils' spirit rogue us — {except the Mormons.)

The world goes on to cheat,

The very fashions vogue us; There's tares among the wheat,

And every coin has bogus — [except His Mormon.)

DOING WELL.

One of the Apostles is teaching a dozen or more children, whom he boards, lodges, clothes, houses, and gives his services gratis. Sure Paul in all his glory, did not better.

MORMONISM IS TRUTH.

Philosophy shall raise its head.

When Truth dictates its laws: And thus has it been truly said, Effect must follow cause. Philosophers may wisdom seek; There is a glory for the meek : — The world expects that bliss to gain But scorn the door, and scale in vain.

w Some people take move care to hide their wisddm than their folly-

14 THE ZODIAC.

The Zodiac contains 12 812ns, and the sun passes through about one per month, or 30 degrees. Having not the means at hand, for calculating the exact distance, that leading '"light" of time has fallen back of Aries, the first sign, from which the nations of the world calculate Latitude and Lon- gitude. I will only say, the sun enters (^) Pisces the latter part of March; (°P) Aries do. in April; (8) Taurus do. in May; (n) Gemini do. in June; (?=) Cancer do. in July; (SI) Leo do. in August; (i'k) Virgo do. in Septem- ber; (— ) Libra do. in October; (IH) Scorpio do. in November; (I) Sagita- rius do. in December; (W') Capricornus do. in January; (~) Aquarius do. in February.

By observing these constellations a few times, a knowledge of the heav- enly bodies may become as familiar as am' common science; and no one would say, "where is the signV" — for all would know where the sun and moon were in the Zodiac, loiili their own eyes.

LANGUAGE.

The English language is used by nearly 60,000,000 of people; that of China by 6u0,000,000. The Chinese must be the oldest known language spoken on the globe. The English is about as young as any, but as the Lord has seen fit to "reveal-' the Book of Mormon, and the fullness of the everlasting gospel in English, the day is not far distant, when every saint must learn to speak English, in order to understand the keys of the holy priesthood. In this light, the English bids fair to become the great, last, and best, till the Lord restores a "pure language," even the one that Adam brought from Kolob, or the celestial garden, when he came to this globe and gave names to all, — according to the council of the Gods in the "elder world."

GOOD.

An editor near the Winne-pipe-ogee, away east, promised for his next week's treat of "news," an original wedding and death; but when the week came round, he had to apologize by saying that a Yankee run away with the girl and married her, and the cholera killed the doctor; both of which eases being "extra," the wedding and death were post passed.

A WITTY WOMAN.

Sir, said a woman to Alexander the Great, while I was asleep at night, your soldiers stole all my cattle.

Says the General, you must have slept very sound, not to have heard my men; they make a great noise.

Certainly I did, replied the woman, in the confidence, that Alexander was wide awake watching the interests of everybody.

The greatest science e'er unf url'd, Salvation shows to all the world; The rules are plain, and firmly laid, Though simple, they must be obeyed.

16 UTAH TERRITORY.

Is bounded as follows:

North by Oregon Territory, 42d deg of N. latitude; west by California 120th deg. of west longitude; thence south to the 3'Jth deg. of N. lat.; thenco south-east to the 37th degree of N. hit.; south on New Mexico, and thencr east on the parallel of 37 deg., to the summit of the Rocky Mountains, upon which it continues in a northerly direction on the diyide, dividing the waters of the Colorado and Green rivers, from the Platte and Rio del Norte, to the aforesaid 42d deg. of north latitude— embracing the Great Basin, deserts, mountains, valleys, lake:;, and rivers,

The Lakes are Great Salt Lake, Utah, Sevier, and Little Salt Lake on the east, and Pyramid and several smaller ones on the west. Rivers, are the Colorado; (been river with all its branches; Bear river: Weber: Sevier: Jordan; Ogden, with several small streams, east; and ^t. M iry's or Hum boldt's, with several others on the west.

Among its peaks are those of the "Twins," about 35 miles S. E. of Great Salt Lake, "Mount Nebo," on the east of Juab valley, and "Cupalo," S. E. of San Pete.

It is divided into Davis, Desert, Great Salt Lake, Green River, Iron. Juab, Millard, San Pete, Tooele, Utah, Washington, and Weber Counties, running on parallel lines east and west.

Its products are wheat and other grains, cattle, fish, and beets for sugar.

Its minerals, thus far developed, are iron, stone coal, asphaltis, salt, brimstone, alum, and pair.t.

Its cities are Great Salt Lake, Provo, Mauti, Parowan, Fillmore, Nephi. Cedar, and Ogden, together with several towns and settlements — all flour- ishing in the midst of the desert.

The "hot springs" and "warm spring," "salt caves," — and saleratue lands, can hardly be beat on the continent of North America.

Its inhabitants (a little ever 30,000) are mostly Mormons, which in thr- strictest sense of the term, are good and true — or, at least, will all be so. when they that follow after the "loaves and fishes," and 'lust of the flesh,' and "'god of this world," have left their bones on the plains, aa "stops and marks" to the just senteaces of Jehovah.

Thore is a small settlement in Carson valley, not organized by the Leg- islature.

EXPLANATION TO THE TABLE OF THE MOON'S LONGITUDE ON PAGE 10.

Where is the moon on the 1, 27, 28 and 29 days of June? In the sign of the Zodiac called Aries, the Ram, (T) the head, embracing from 0 to 30 deg. AVhere is the moon on the 1, 27 and 28 days of January? la the sign of the "Virgin, {W) the bowels, embracing from 150 to 180 deg. of lon- gitude; which, if the moon "changed" in the sign Aries, would be about ;•- "full moon." Beware, therefore, if you believe in signs, when the moon is in Aries, the head; for if the moon comes under the 7*s, you may get the "blh head!3'

MORMONISM IS TRUTH.

Political confusion reigns,

And anarchy is rife; The smartest rogue an office gains, To stir the fire of strife; —

And parties clash, and split, and fight, Like blind men groping for a light; When Truth's broad banner is unfurled, There's policy for all the world.

S Heaven loves company; come on, ye righteous, let's go in.

20 ELEGANT EXTRACTS.

[SELECTED FROM TIIK PROPHETS.]

And the Gods said, 'come light, and light came.'

Joseph, the blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of thy progenitors, unto the utmost bounds of the hills of eternity. They shall be a crown for Joseph's head, because he was separated .jtj-oa&Jiis brethren. ««-w»...»-«

0 ye heavens give ear, and I will speak! and 0 earth hear the words of my mouth, for my doctrine shall drop as the rain, and my speech shal! distill like the dew upon the tender herbs!

To obey is better than sacrifice; and to hearken than the fat of rams.

There is a vein for silver, and a place for gold, where they find it. Iron is taken from the earth, and brass melted from stones. God makes an end to darkness, and searches out all perfection.

1 put on righteousness and clothe me, and judgment is my diadem.

I am eyes to the blind and feet to the lame. I am a father to the poor: the cause that I knew not, I searched out.

Then said I, I shall die in my nest, and there I shall multiply my days as the sand. Behold the Behemoth can drink up a river.

Mount Zion is beautiful for situation; the joy of the whole earth, because the sides of the north, contains the city of the Great King, "v.

God shines the perfection of beauty out of Zion; for Zion is the pure in heart.

The daughters of kinga stand among the Almighty's honorable house- hold;— the Queen on the right, in gold of Ophir.

God holds the soul in life, and weighs the actions of men.

God is the Judge; He puts down one and sets up another.

For the Lord holds a cup in his hand, full of red wine that, contains a mixture; and he pours it out, but the dregs shall be wrung out and drunk by the wicked of the whole earth.

A fire goes before God, and the hills melt like was at his presence.

Praise the Lord 0 my soul, for he is very great. He is clothed with honor, and covers himself with light as a garment. He str,etches out the heavens like a curtain, and lays the beams of his chambers upon her waters. He makes the clouds his chariot, and walks upon the wings.of the wind. He sends his angels as ministering spirits, in flames of fire.

He waters the hills from his chambers, and sends the springs into the valleys.

He causes the grass to grow, and brings forth food out of the earth.

The fear of the Lord hates evil, but folly exalts itself — as if God was blind. The wealth of the wicked answers all purposes but buying salvation.

The rich are in favor of the rich, and when they grind each other, there is nothing lost.

When a poor man oppresses a poor man, it is like a sweeping rain that leaves no food.

When a saint deals unjustly with a saint, it is like the late frost of spring that spoils the fruit.

Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts, and turn to the Lord, for he will have mercy upon him; and then God will pardon.

MORMONISM IS TRUTH.

The government of Truth is pure,

Its laws are good and just; Its subjects have their rights secured With officers of trust.

Theocracy shall take the sway, And politics shall sweep away; — The Truth will take its grand career, And swift it comes! 'tis here! 'tis here!!

Consider well thy motives, principles, and feelings; be pure.

And Jesus said to the centurion, "Go thy way; as you believe,bs it done unto you'." And the servant was healed in the self same hour.

You do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God; for in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven, who were not married for eternity on earth, and cannot be enlarged, but remain separately and singly without exalta- tion in their saved condition, to all eternity, and from henceforth are not Gods, but angels of God forever and ever.

And I saw the stars also that they were very great, and that one of them was nearest unto the throne of God: and there were many great ones, which were near unto it; and the Lord said unto me, these are the govern- ing ones, and the name of the great one is Kolob, because i t -i 3 near unto me: For I am the Lord thy God; I have set this one to govern all those which belong to the same order of that upon which thou stand'est. And the Lord said unto me, by the Urim and Thummim, that Kolob was after the manner of the Lord, according to its times and seasons, in the revolur tions thereof; that one revolution was a day unto the Lord, after his man- ner of reckoning, — it being one thousand years, according to the time ap- pointed unto that whereon thou standest. This is the reckoning of the Lord's time, according to the reckoning of Kolob. V

I combat the errors of ages; I meet the violence of mobs; I cape with il- legal proceedings from executive authority; I cut the gordian knot of pow- ers; and I solve the mathematical problems of universities — WITH TRUTH — diamond truth, and God is my right hand man!

And after the earthquake a fire; the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice; and when Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face- in his mantle, and went out and stood in the mouth of the c<ive-

The universe throughout will gain

Release from every strife; The earth shall soon he free from pain, And taste eternal life. Salvation unto ail is free, Unbounded as eternity — But they who see eternal day, Must surely take the narrow way.

When you see as many people round the grocery, or tavern, or riding about, as you see attending meeting on the Sabbath, remember it will be more tolerable in the day of judgment, for Sodom and Gomorah, than for that nation, if their steeples are as plenty as cornstalks.

The wisdom of this world, in the Eternal Dictionary, is folly.

CHRISTMAS ADDRESS.

As time will shortly pass the Isthmus,

I thought I'd drop a word for Christmas;

For sure the era of a Savior,

Has much to do with earth's behavior.

Before this world had its beginning,

Or Lucifer began his sinning,

By asking Father's "honor," — (meant hence,

To save the world without repentance,)

While in the sinless realms of spirits,

He said: — "I'll save men on their merits."

The lamb was slain — he died a martyr,

Then rose triumphant, conq'ring after:

And so he lives for our salvation,

To raise us from our degradation,

Which Satan brought from his new college,

And Eve "partook" to gain the knowledge; *\

And Adam "ate," for he was human,

And plagued a loorld to please a woman!

And down '-fell" all in common sorrow —

With hopes to rise again to-morrow: — w

But oh! to-morrow! — boundless ocean!

With all her tempest waves' commotion,

Has lengthened out the awful terror —

And let the world go on in error, —

Till yonder comes the dreaded trouble!

(iThe wicked must be burnt as stubble!"

The suffering now must be exquisite;

"It must," said Christ upon his visit,

"For earth has sinned and killed my servants,

"And all is under my observance:

"I was; I am; and will be ever,

"And none can stay my hand; no, never!

"To-day I bring glad tidings — 'tis well!

" Why will ye die, O house of Israel?

"Repent; be washed; do right, be clever;

"And you can live in bliss, forever."

V

v

BE HONEST.

Truth, uprightness, virtue, sincerity, and candor, are marked in every feature of an honest man; — and treachery, hypocrisy, deceit, and corrup- tion disclose themselves, however well disguised. Be honest.

Scolding wives, cross husbands, and saucy children, are always in trou- ble, because they disgrace themselves — and make the angels blush at their folly. They need purging with wormwood, gall, and brimstone, and pu- rifying with honey, balm, and oil, a thousand years, before they will be fit for neighbors^ or ready to live in good society.

MOBMONISM IS TEUTH.

12 Thus all our faith and works below, To righteousness should tend; Our lives should heavenly wisdom show, Enduring to the end: —

Truth makes the path to glory plain, And takes us back to bliss again; It gives new life, exalts the soul — And Mobmonism takes the whole.

THE GRAMMAR OF WHISKY.

Analyzed as follows:— The Orthography of Whisky is— W before r in wrath, signifies, — it burns in the bosom; h is whispered in hell, as a ■ place of torment; i insinuates itself into the world as _ ill, in opposition to health; s answers for sin, as the element of evil; k is the companion of knaves against honesty; and y is the yeast of wickedness, to make the passions act.

The Etymology produces wrong for right; heartburn for happiness; itch- ing, sickness, kicking, and gelling, [instead of wisdom, honor, integrity, .sense, knowledge, and years of contentment without it. Thus is spelled w-h-i-s-k-y.

Syntax brings twhoredom, heavy debts, insanity, suicide, /cnavery, and yawning; that is, the tax on sin,— "whisky!"

Prosody, after the manner of pickling yourself in "grog," exhibits the full quantity of woman's wo, as practised in the world; points out the husband's road to ruin; gives the saints some of the "sposh" of sin; while the knave can skulk off into his kennel, with an excuse that he was 'drunk!'

yellino-, 0 what a dismal sweat these hot-drops bring on! And thus

kino-s and kingdoms yawn in drunkenness, debauchery, and ruin, endowed for 'misery among the damned, — just by putting an enemy into the mouth that roils up thelorains, as a hog in hot weather does a clean spring of wa- ter. Such are some of the abuses of 'liquor,' without reason, as practiced among the "goats."

A LION MATCHED.

A lion came up to a native Bushman's hut in South Africa, in the night, where a child of four years old was sitting by a dull fire. The parent saw the danger of the child, but dare not stir. When the lion came on the op- posite sTde of the fire, the child began to throw embers and coals at him, but he came nearer, when, of a sudden, the child seized a long, fiery stick, and poked into his mouth just as he was about to take his prey, which so burnt him that he ran away. Simple means often cure desperate cases.

DEFINITION.

Spiritual Husbandry — The fun of a man that enjoys many, and is united to none — in favor of everything secret, and loves himself better than his neighbor; i. e., a man of the world, not fearing God, gratifies his passions.

A CATCH.

What ivas to-morrow — and will be yesterday?

Fashion is fickle-minded, and dupes her fascinated followers as often, as a coquette.

REPUBLICS, KINGDOMS, RULERS, &c.

[Continued from page 29.]

Besides the above "Heads" of the powers that be, there are in Europe, some thirty or forty lesser Rulers, under the titles of "dukes," "grand dukes," "duchies," "princes," landgraves, electors, &c, bashaws, with one, two, up to "ten tails;" and noted officers, in the Indies, and among the Turks, as well as in the Island world of the Pacific — all of which, when the report of their dignity, power, and greatness, cometh up to the Great Basin, shall be noticed in their time and place.

PROGNOSTICATIONS.

In Winter, look out for snow, wind, and sometimes rain, and frost, with short days, and clouds made out of the finest kind of vapors that float about the mountains, as if there was a "fog factory" as extensively carried on as Yale College or Oxford University.

In Spring, prepare for warm weather, but calculate to be overreached by frosts, cold, rain, and a few breezes, not of the first quality; while every thing appears as green as some folks before they cut their "eye teeth."

In Summer, you need not look for snow, but hail, rain, and sun-shine, with thunder and lightning; and time enough to raise good crops, if the people "dig" as cleverly for "bread" as bankers do for '-bullion."

In Fall, wind up your year's business, and calculate that summer has taken a "tour south," for 'the purpose of giving "storms a holiday;" that the "Prince" of this world may sort the weather to suit the wisdom of ages, not the whims of a moment. For does not the ox know his owner, and the ass his master's crib? And do not the swallows know the fall, and the gulls the spring? But, said the prophet, "my people do not know; they do not consider;" and so, if the weather should continue to "come and go'' six thousand years more, who would be the wiser, unless God taught him? We will give a year for an answer.

THE NEW LAW.

To feel well— do right.

To save lawyer's fees and costr-pay what you owe.

To save contention — fear God.

To be saved— save yourself.

The bitterest foe betrays with the sweetest kiss.

Some hard sayings in this Almanac— who can endure them?

Be joyous; he kind; be lovely; be modest; be neat; be on hand; be patient.

A MIRACLE.

Some year3 ago, a priest having been long in poverty, and having heard Of the fame of Stephen Burroughs, melting silver out of the end of his eane, previously filled for the trick, resolved to try his cunning at mira- cles.' "He accordingly," says the recorder of the fact, "put several yolk -• of e°-gs in the hollow of his cane, and stopped the end with butter. He thenwent to a grocery and called for one egg for his dinner. So small a, dinner raised a laugh, but when he began to fry the egg, the lady of the, house threw into the pan a little lard, and the "priest graciously began to stir the e"-g with his cane;" the butter melted; the stored eggs run into the pan, and'made abundance for his dinner, and thus he established his mir- acle, by which his fame rose like the widow's cruise — and if he had had sense enough to have kept it to himself, it would have gone down "as slick as Tease" — but it was too good to keep, and like his brethren of the "black coat/' be bragged, that he suck'd'em as nimble as old Stev Burroughs did.
