A LIVING BAROMETER.
An Slat but Act* as a Wrattier I'ropuct
for a Pennsylvania l.irmar.
In the summer of l?HtS Peter Korn of
‘W'Astiiiigtoii township, Pcmisylvapi»,
caught a Mrinll eel on a sot lint; ami pot
it in n wall in |,| H yard. The eel fa »ti;f
in tlirj well, and is four feet long anti
eight indioH in diameter about the
middle. It has gained a wide reputa
tion as a weather prophet, an it is nn
infallible foreteller of rain. From the
time the eel was put into flit* well until
the present time it has kept itself con
cealed among the stones at the bot »n.,
except at Irregular Intervals, when it
would appear on the surface of the
water, where It would swim about fur
hours und then disappear again. It
was Anally noticed that these appear
ances of tint eel were followed by rain
within a day or two.
For over fifteen years this living bar
ometer has proved infallible. No one
ever passes the K -ru place without in
quiring whether the eel has been seen
lately, and. instead of' tip.; q icstiou one
asks ovor>w mre ulan: "Dj you think
we'll have rain?" the inquiry in the
neighborhood b: '* What does the eel
nay?" in haying or harvest farmers
for miles around >mtd every day for in
telligence of the cel. in times of
drought the weather prophet is also the
constant object of liujairy. The ed
not only gives warning ol’ approaching
rain, but its appearance in Mo* well any
day during a storm h a .Mire indication
that the storm will last a day longer.
The longest time the ocl was ever
concealed was during the memorable
drought of 1870, The cat appeared on
July If. It rained the loth and lltli.
From. Hum until October Id the col
Waa not set-.ii, mid in all that tlmo tliuru
was no rain. The e.-l never appears-to
foretell thunder showers The Sight of
ICorn's weather propler! in the wo.I any
time during that summer would have
been the cause for g a «ril thanksgiv
ing, but whim he did pm i t ah appear
ance It was loo l»*e in do ili it year's
crop any good. The del entile to the
surface of the water Oe.ol.er id, and
was In sight all .1 ty and part of the
17th. Oil tho 1'n.li occnrivd the giva.fc
rain storm that lasted nearly a woe it
and did as innalt damage ah the dry
weather Im I done. A ju-ouilarity of
tliis qn! is that it will have no otli.-v
kind of Ibli in the wi ll. Trout, eatibh

Throughout a long drawn summer day
would this man talk to you in low,
oqiinblc, hut clear and musical tones,
marshalling all history, harmonizing nil
experiment, pouring such floods of
light on your mind, that you might lit e
Paul, become blind in the very net of
conversion. In nil this lie whs your
teacher and guide, but in a little while
you might forget that h« wan other
than a fellow student, ft compmiion, so
playful was his manner, so simple his
language, so aftActlomtte the glance of
his pleasant eye.” J)0 Quincy says,
•'Cqlefldge led me nt once to the draw*

meiitft, and omitted no point of cour-
,teopji reception. That point being set
tled, Coleridge-like Borne great Ore-
liana, or the-Ht. Lawrence, that, having
beon checked and fretted by rock* or
thwarting Islands, suddenly recovers
its volume of waters and its mighty
music-swept at once, ns if returning
to hi* .natural business, into a ooutinu-

Although Mr. Cooke's sympathies were
for tho cavaliers, ho never magnified
one of Mimu at tlm expense of a Puritan,
and his books, while Southern in their
views, are never rancor ms. They are
of Virginia, because their author loved
