Yet crowds filled the street?, for even in niglt sterms, the great thoroughfares are never deserted. Guilt and wretched, ntss are always wakeful and abroad. To realize the desolation of loneliness, one must be a stranger in a crowded city, with a sensitive Datura, and a refinement that shr nks from rude contracts, and uncongee nial companionship. Alone in (he country,.with the blue sky above us, and the green grass bent nth our feet, there are charms that woo us to for gctfnlnes*. There is music in the running | stream and beauty in the flowers that grow j upon its banks. Some German wiiter, I ! have forgotten who, calls flowers the stars of eav'h and stars the flo versos heaven. — ] Fair and radi.nl flowers they ore and shed J their brigh ness on the ,smoke-w rtatbed j city, but in their matchless, softened and mellowed light seem to linger more plea santly on green fields and waving corn. Alone in London / Dreary and desolate reality, that swelled almost to bursting a weary and aching heart. The stranger gathered bis thin cloak around his shiver_ ing foitn, and drew liis bat oTer bis face, with a sensitive shrinking from Hie crowd that rudely jos.tled past him. 'He was alone ■' in London, and very poor, not even a shill ing to procure s f-anty supper. Somewb .re in a dark part of the citv, where tu* gaslights were few, np many] ;.dir of stairs, was Ihe garret in which he J slept, but in it ther was nothing save the ; darkness, one bioken (hair aud u wretched j bed with its scanty covering. When be (ntend this disoiate chamber j in nights like this, on unseen company sur- j rounded him, the spirits of the viewless j a’r, and in the wailings of the wind, they , told him stnnge mysterious tales of, wretchedness and dread, until, half wild j with dnik imaginings, he rushed torth in i the night and the pelting storm. Thus | through the chilling elect and raiu he walk- 1 ed the streets, looking into the hard faces of the passers by and wondering if in al' London there was auoLhvr man who had no one to care lor him, no one to love him.-- And then lie thought Lew deliciously! strange it wnnld sum to him—a stranger and a w and • rer for many years—to be be loved. lie hoped the blessed light would dawn upon him, but in the daikness of this night iit seemed a great way off The cloud ol poverty and gloom that w rapped his heart ; was too cold and deep, he feared, ior hu« j man sympathy and love to penetrate.

A strain of sweet sad music broke in upon his lonely musicgß. Over all refined natures music has an absorbing power, and though it olten tillß the soul with sadness, it casts upon it the spell ol an irresistible fascinnlion, aid the stranger panstd in bi» | desolate walk to listen to the song.

In the scasilive aud gilled the longing for sympathy and love is far more intense I limn in ruder natures, and all his life long bis heart had earned with passionate eager, ness Tor the pure delights of home find the bliss of sympathy at.d Jove.

The following mode of judging weather by the sky, is taken from Thomson’s Coast Pilot : The color of the skv at particu lar times, affords wonderful good guidance. Not only sunset presa ges fair weather, but there are oth er times which speak with equal clearness and accuracy. A bright yellow sky in the evening indi cates wind, a pale yellow, wet, a natural gray color constitutes a favorable sign in the evening, and an u favorable one in the morning. They are full o f meaning in them selves. If their forms are soft, underlined, aud feathery*, the weather will be fine, if their edges are hard, sharp, and definite- It will he foul. Generally speaking, any deep, unusual hues betoken wind and rain, while the more quiet and delicate tints bespeak lfine weather.
