Herschel's "Weather Table for Foretelling the "Weather, (^rt through all the Ijunations of each Year, Forever. 4

This table and the accompanying remarks are tlie result f of many years' actual observation, the whole being con- *' Btructed on a due consideration of the attraction of the suu and moon, in their several positions respecting the earth, ^"^ and will by simple inspection, show the observer what kind of weather will most probably follow the entrance of the moon into any of its quarters, and tl*at so near the truth, as to be seldom or never found to fail.

Observa(io7is.—-l. The nearer the time of the moon's change first quarter, full and last quarter, are to midnight, the fairer will the weather be during the seven days following.

2. The space for this calculation occupies from ten at night till two next morning.

3. The nearer to midday or noon, the phases of the moon happens, the more foul or wet weather may be expected during the next seven days.

4. The space for this calculation occupies from ten in the forenoon to two in the afternoon. These observations refer principally to the summer, though they affect spring and autumn nearly in the same ratio.

5. The moon's change, first quarter, full and last quarter, happening during six of the afternoon hours, i. c, from four to ten, may be followed by fair weather ; but this is mostly dependent on the wind, as is noted in the table.

6. Though the weather, from a variety of irregular causes, is more uncertain in the latter part of autumn, the whole of winter, and the beginning of spring, yet in the main, the above observations will apply to those periods also,

7. To prognosticate correctly, especially in those cases where the wind is concerned, the observer should be within sight of a go(f^ vane, when the four cardinal points of the heavens are correctly placed.

Nrwrnbcr. — Endeavor to avoid having your garden products frozen fast in the ground; begin in goofi»parnest to secure tliem. Cabbage may be taken up and laid in rows against a ridge, so as to form a square, compact, close-growing ]v d, the roots and stems being buried up to the lower le?ives in Cabbages. The beds may then be oovenMl with stiaw, or a temporary shed erected over them.

The pleasantest things in the world are pl.-a.^ant thoughts, and the great- est art in life is to have as many of them as possible.
