" WnfifeTtiylBW, youmusl riot ypedk * in that way. Go and play with your i little horse and-carriage, there's a dear j boy," aaid Mrs. Gordon, In a coaxing ; tone. Bat Willie was not to be i coaxed. " I don't want to play," he replied; " I want to sit In the rocking chair, I will have It, I will," and with renewed vigor he pulled at the lady's drew. " Indeed, WUlHe, I fcel qui* ashamed of you;" aaid his toother in a languid tone. Mrs. Hale, perceiving that Wink's ' conduct would receive no check from , his mother, and that her barege .dress would be thfc sufferer, if the child's , attack on it was prolouged, rose from ( the rocking chair and look another Willie climbed into the chair with a ] cry of exultation, and commenced rocking lo and fro violently. , Mrs. Gordon colored slightly, and raid to her visitor: j "I foor, Mrs. Hale, yon will think | my Winin a bad boy. I own I spoil . him a little. But he 1s my only child: , he knows he Is mutfcpr's pet, and he ( takes advantage of it, sometimes." . "Not a little spoiled; not ft 'Mir," thought Mrs. Hole, but she wss too ( sensible a woman to utter in thechild's f presence anything that might imply j blame of his mother. She merely t bowed in reply to Mrs. Gordon's half apology, nnd began talking on other c Presently a smart blow on her arm , caused Mrs, Hale to look round. Willie had slipped off the rocking chair, , and as she turned suddrnly, she re- , eel red another blow from tlw whip in her foce. j " Willie, Willie;" cried his mother, j now seriously concerned; "givemethat t , whip, there'a a darting. And go ask Jane to give you a nice piece of pound j cake." f "I don't care for iKiund cake; I want , Asr" (poiuling to Mr*.

I Tlie paper contains a short account iff (Tie latair* of other observer*, nearly all , of iviiom, while admitting the lunar. , influence, difler in their conclusions. | Sehublar, in Germany, after twentyI eight years' observations, ending in 18110, deduced a sensible influence of I the moon, the rainy days, nt the time when the moon wa# seven day* old, ta-ing twenty-five percent, greater than ' when slic was fourtenn days old. Mr. I the Utiles of sixteen years of observation# nt Greenwich, nine years X Ox- , ford, and sixteen years al Berlin, obtained results remarkably consistent , with crujli otlier, nnd which indicate t thx the moon exerts nn appreciable the maximum occurring six or nine i days after the now moon, and the minI i num about four itays after the ftiU, the i difference between the temperature at s the perio.1* named ta-ing two nnd a lialf 1 degrees Fahrcnlieit. Mr. BX1X, ou tabulating a series of seventy years' mean daily temperature , according to tlie" moan's age, found , that the higlu«t L-mperXure occurred during the seven days after foil moon, , being almost precisely opposite to the 1 results of Mr. Harrison.. Schtaiarelli, an Iiaiian philosopher, , after a candid anXysta of thirty-eight . ynareofnbscrvationsnuidcInNorthcm ItXy, attained result# which nre also remarkably consistent with each other. They show thx about the time of the last quarter of the moon there a maximum In the number oft rainy days, as also in the frequency of storms and in the degree of cloudiness. Prof. Loomta draws tlie conclusion from his table of „ seven year*' ohservStTon, that the moon doe* affect tlie weather, and mXntalns, r In direct opposition to Prof. Herachel, j that the moon, Just before its foil, influenced tlie weather lo ward-cloudiness rather than clearness, snd followed the j some taw as the sun. The changes, however, are in&pprfidablr to ordinary observer*, and no rules can be laid t down that will be useful hi the traasy actions of dXly Hfe.
