Now was the time for me I 1 speedily put mysolf inside of a pair of mouldy bouts that bad grown blue with the damp weather, nnd, slipping on a kind of a split pen jacket, hurried off to tho barn, armed with a common gimlet. Iu thu rogf of the barn was n Inst class scuttle; nnd, climbing a lad der, I squeezed through tho li.ild, and was soon In possession of tho headstrong, obstinate, dogged weatheroock fish, which stood sentinel on the summit of a little iron rod nailed by a crowfoot to the apex of the roof. But I must ex plain tho ineehanisui of n weathercock. V011 take whutovor animal yon T.lenso for 11 model, mid ctirvo out Ida image from a shingle or other hit of soft wood Then you bore a hole undorucuth mul in the exact centre of him ; or, if you haven’t a gimlet, you can heat tho end of tho kitchen politer nnd burn out a socket about two iaohea deep, nnd n quarter of an iuuli iu diameter. If your poker is too large, get the village black smith to alter it for yon. When your weathercock is nil ready, just put up somewhere mi tho roof of your burn un upright wire tliut will fit tho socket, up on which you can Blip- your vane, nnd try it. \Yhun the wind comes, if you Imvo balanced him exactly upon his centre, you will find that hu will point head nr tail, the way of the wind, just as it happen*. Ho you will Iibvu to take him ofi’iiguin, and make the piioinl ap erture u little (Ui 0|)u side of thu centre, noarer the head or tail, and you will find tliut the longest part of the pointer will always tie turned to tho quarter of the heaven* opposite to that fium which the wind comes. Thu fact is, tlmt the true philosophy of tho conduct of u woatiiercouk is not to show which way tho wind is going, but which way thu current of wind ha* gone. In this re* speut, it rvaeiobllM the toaeliingH of ex purieiice. Now, all 1 laid tu do with our weathercock was to bore a liulo u couple of inches abaft, tho coutre, ho as to make the head part longest nnd ht*av- iest, and then tho tail would Isiint to the uorllieuBt and the head to the south west.
