Side 3 - If Candlemas Day be fair and bright, Winter will have another flight ; But if it be dark with clouds and rain, Winter is gone, and will not come again.
Side 29 - We would strongly recommend any of our readers whose occupations lead them to attend to the " signs of the weather," and who, from hearing a particular weather adage often repeated, and from noticing themselves a few remarkable instances of its verification, have " begun to put faith in it," to commence keeping a note-book, and to set down without bias all the instances which occur to them of the recognized antecedent, and the occurrence or nonoccurrence of the expected consequent, not omitting also...

Side 30 - ... would be in itself an improbability, and that therefore, to have any weight, the majority should be a very decided one, and that not only in itself, but in reference to the neutral instances.
