are some emotions which so overpower the mind as not only to defy description, but even the full perception of them. A dull sense of unreality, of unnaturalness, of want of sequence prevents our appreciating even the happiest turns of fortune if they come with too great suddenness. The greatness of the surprise, the shock and upsetting of our ideas, caused by a great calamity or great happiness, exercises a numbing influence over the intellect. After years of hopeless captivity the Prisoner of Chillon "regained his freedom with a sigh." So to myself, after having mourned my daughter's death for years, the shock of her sudden reappearance seemed almost painful. How could it be true? Yet there she was, older indeed but nobler-looking than ever, walking up the humble street amid the shouts and tears of all our

Rh citizens, her fingers lightly resting on the arm of the handsomest man left in the world, whose face transfigured with pride love and victory seemed like the face of a triumphant Archangel.

Some meetings are too sacred for and transcend all description, and what thoughts and words passed between Aurelia and myself I neither can nor will recount. To one spectator at least the sight was fraught with pain rather than pleasure. Poor Gell, who with his wonted goodness instead of gazing on the fight had been removing a sick woman from the conflagration of her home and extinguishing the flames, came down towards the quay, black and begrimed, just in time to see Aurelia walking up the street on the arm of his victorious rival. Too true a lover to be blind to love's signs, he saw the love-light beaming from the face of young Dana, and the happy radiance (as it seemed to him) of love returned from the face of his compaaioncompanion [sic]. Not all the joy of his dream fulfilled, not the rapture of his recovery of his long-lost love, could overcome the terrible sense that she had returned, but not for him. He turned aside feeling deadly sick, struggled with his weakness for a few

 and was named in memory of Charles I by Halley, the English astronomer, on the suggestion of the Court Physician, Sir Charles Scarborough.This star is an attractive double as viewed in a small telescope with the delicate colorings of "flushed white and lilac." On the head of Asterion lies the famous whirlpool nebula, although this may only be seen in a large telescope. This nebula has its great arms of nebulous material flung widely into space and looks as if it were whirling rapidly about, but the motion, if any, is too slow for us really to see. With a few exceptions most of the spiral nebulæ are so very distant that they may only be seen through a very large telescope, but next to the stars, they are the most abundant objects in all the sky and are of great interest to astronomers.

Arcturus, the beautiful first magnitude star which glows so conspicuously in the constellation of Boötes, is, however, the main source of interest in these star groups. The star is popular for its appearance alone, for it is large and richly golden, and always easily located, but it is also of interest in a scientific way, for it has been found to be an extremely huge and glorious sun. Our sun placed at the same distance—145 millions of millions of miles—would shine as a faint and almost invisible star, yet Arcturus is so much larger than our sun that it drifts across our sky like a bowl of light.

Arcturus is not only one of the largest but it is also one of the swiftest moving stars in the heavens. It moves so swiftly that it covers 100 miles in every second. This speed has caused it to be labeled a "runaway star." Although this star shoots through space at such an incredible rate of speed it has taken it 800 years to describe a space (as seen by our eyes) equal to the apparent diameter of the moon. This may give the reader some slight realization of the vast distance which separates us from Arcturus.

man below, has some suspicion of this, and he has questioned me.’

“‘And what did you tell him? What did you know?’

“'Nothing, sister—nothing.’

“‘But he-he said something. You began to suspect me, and came prying up here. Brother! brother!’ “There was scorn and grief in her words that would have made me sink into the earth if I had really done the thing she charged me with. As it was, my temper rose. "‘No, Sarah,’ I said, ashamed that my voice would shake so. ‘No, Sarah, Mr. Bentley, our  visitor, said nothing that you have a right to be  angry about. “‘But he said something. Tell me what it was.

‘“He only asked what wedding it was that his poor cousin came to attend, Sarah.”

“‘What wedding!’ she cried, catching hold of my arm, and almost shaking me. ‘What wedding! Did he say that? Did he in solemn truth mention a wedding?’

‘“Yes, Sarah,’ I answered, looking hard at her, ‘and I thought, from his way of wording it, that he had an idea that the cousin himself was coming to be married to some one in these parts.’

“I stopped short, for the sight of her face fairly made me hold my breath. Her cheeks, which had been pale as death before, kindled up; her lips parted with an eager expression, as if some iron spring had unlocked in them; and her eyes—Sarah had handsome eyes when she was pleased or angry—shone like stars.

“‘And you believed this? You thought, per¬ haps, that it was—was-’

“She stopped short, and the anxious paleness began to creep over her again.

“I understood her, and answered as if she had spoken out.

“‘Yes, I did think that, Sarah. Those letters, your strange ways, all came back to my mind; and why not? He was a smart young fellow, handsome and rich: the neighbors might have said it was a good match for you; but I think you were the mate for his betters any day—for the king on his throne, if such things could grow in a free country like ours, Sarah—so, if it was the truth, out with it. The fellow down stairs seems mighty anxious to know all about his cousin’s affairs. He spoke about searching the papers in that trunk.’

“Sarah clutched the letters in her hand, and laughed.

‘Well, let him search,’ she said. ‘It is an easy matter; the lock is torn open, and he will find but few papers.’

‘But those in your hand, Sarah!’

“She took my hand in hers, and with one of the winning gestures which no one could resist, lifted it to her lips, hard and brown as it was. ‘Don’t, please don’t ask me any more questions!’ she said; “it can do no earthly good, when a thing is over. Why give me so much pain? Can’t you see how I suffer?’

“I took her close to my bosom, and kissed her cheek, ready to cry: for she could make a child   of me any time. She kissed me back two or three times, then, leaning her head on my shoulder, began to sob.

“‘Did you love him so much; darling?’ I whispered, folding her close again.

“‘Don’t ask; but this other man, do not let him question you more: and, above all, keep my secret about the letters.’

“I started, and put her away from my bosom. This« persistence in keeping a secret which was really no discredit offended me.

“‘Sarah,’ I said, ‘this is worse than I would have believed of you. Why are you ashamed of this engagement?’

“‘Think no ill of me, I charge you,’ she said, starting back with a haughty throw of the head, “I have done rights—will do right, but must be left alone!’

“‘Very well,’ I said, hurt by her want of con¬ fidence, ‘you throw away my advice, and do not want my help. Good morning, Sarah; you have given me the heart-ache, that’s all!’

“‘No, no!’ she said, drawing close to me again. ‘I want your help just now. Only give it frankly, and without these terrible questions. I am not well. You can see that watching and crying has made me nervous and half sick. I was about to ask you about some way of strengthen¬ ing myself up a little. Hetty, too, is worn out In short, we want to get away from home: you know father promised us music lessons in the city. I am sure the sea air will be good for us both. What do you think of it, Dan?’

“She spoke rapidly and half out of breath, darting quick glances at me from under her eye¬ lashes, as if afraid that I would oppose her. In fact, I did feel like it at first: and was about to say so, but she caught the words from my lips, and broke out in a wild, pleading way that changed my feelings at once.

“Don’t, oh! don’t say that, Dan! I am sick— suffering. If you won’t send me away I shall go into a decline and die on your hands. Can’t you see how I pine—how thin I grow?’

itead in a week or two if—if I thought father would have no objection.

“‘ Objections! What objection oould my father have to Mr. Bentley, whose conduct toward him and his had been more than kind? Surely he might expect to be made welcome in a house that was almost his own/

“'Yes,’ said Sarah, turning her face toward the sunset, though I could see a smile quivering on her lip, ‘but—but Mr. Bentley wants to take me away with him; he thinks now that he loves me well enough for that!’

“I was rejoiced, and gave my-horses a triumphant crack of the whip, that sent them off on a run. I knew well enough that Sarah was no fit wife for any of the young fellows in our neighborhood. Her high spirits, her wit, and the bright thoughts that made every one admire her, were not gifts to be buried on a farm, nor drudged into tameness by hard work. I had knowledge of the world and sense enough to know that, if I had been brought up in the country. It would have been like forcing a canary bird to dive for its food like a fish hawk. But this was another affair. Your father was the man of all I had ever seen for the husband of a gal like our Sarah, with a college educa¬ tion, an honest, strong mind, as handsome a figure as you see in a day’s walk, and any amount of property—where could another man be found like him? Yet I felt that Sarah was his match every inch of it: her virtues were home virtues, and her studies home studies, but genuine for all that; even he could talk on but few subjects that Sarah did not know something about: and as for manners, if ever there was a born lady it was my sister Sarah, if I do say it.

Sarah was delighted to see how I took her news, and told me in her old, frank way how she had loved Mr. Bentley long before she was quite certain that he cared for her—how he had almost proposed while she was with her aunt, but had been checked off when they went to the Long Island shore, without telling him a word about it, and seemed to have given her up with¬ out a struggle; but in her late visit she had met him by accident in the street, they had walked a long way together, she could not tell how or where, for it seemed like heaven to her, for he was telling her of his love—his disappointment at her sudden departure, which he looked upon aa a rebuff, and of the bright hopes that he could scarcely believe real, though she had lis¬ tened to him with so much patience. ‘It was nil like a dream, a sweet, bright dream,’ she said, ‘but real, beautifully real, though sho never could believe it, never/

“It was pleasant to hear her talk so gently of her love, and to see the color come and go in her face with every look I gave it. I do believe that day she was the happiest creature on earth. She exclaimed at the beauty of everything, the old apple trees with their scraggy branches, the patches of moss on the wayside and the sunset. ‘It certainly was,’ she said, ‘the most heavenly sunset that ever she saw in her life/ To me it was a bank of yellow and red olouds piled up and heaped against each other, with streaks of purple and flame-color breaking through; but she saw a thousand other bright things, as people who write poetry and love dreams are sure to do.

“I told the old folks of the news, and Sarah told Hetty, who chirped up like a bird for two or three days, and hovered around her sister in a quiet flutter of happiness, like a robin when its mate is on the nest.

“The old gentleman took everything that came in his way as a matter x>f course. Nothing could arouse his pride, for he held things that turn the heads of most people at their due worth.

“‘Bentley is an honest man,’ he said, ‘and Sarah is a good, bright gal, they’ll make a couple that we needn’t be ashamed of, Dan, you may be sure of that.

“I was satisfied. When my father pronounced any one an honest man, praise had no higher term for him. His pride of integrity was won¬ derful, he acknowledged no superiority but that of goodness and industry, but there he was un¬ yielding: a want of integrity the old man never could forgive. I think that an absolutely wrong act in one of his family would have broken his heart. He was the proudest man I ever saw, and the meekest too.

“His children all knew this, and respected him accordingly. My sisters above all had great reverence for this trait of character, and dreaded his disapprobation above all things. Observe me, father was not a cross nor severe man, only a downright honest one, whose good character was the life of his life.

“Of course a man like this could rejoice in his daughter’s prosperity in marrying a man like your father, for he knew the full value of property, and was glad to get it in the family; but it was the intelligence and sterling goodness of Mr. Bentley that touched the old man nearest. Had these been wanting, property and position would have gone for nothing with a man of your grandfather’s stamp.

“Well, the time came. Bentley asked the old man’s consent in person, and with a few kind,

there are some things that I might do in a quiet way. Don’t you think so?”

She looked down into Gillian’s face with wistful earnestness as she spoke; and the young girl, lonely in her half orphanage, and searching for affection everywhere, rose up, and threw her arms around that drooping neck with a fervor that brought fresh tears into aunt Hetty’s voice.

“Don’t mind if I seem silent and stiff before folks,” she said, folding the young girl close in her arms, “it is my way; but if I can save you one pain by laying down my life, speak, and I’ll do it!”

Before Gillian could answer as her warm heart dictated, the arms that had so closely embraced her fell away, and her aunt glided from the chamber, shadow-like, as she had entered.

And this was Gillian’s first night under the maternal roof. Perhaps the first deep feelings that she had ever experienced sprang into existence during those few hours. It seemed as if her father, too, was haunted with unrest; for, all night long, his step was heard by the master of the house, who slept beneath his room, walking to and fro.

 EDITOR’S EDITORIA L CIIlT—CHAT. Smu'r PlCTUREB.—“GOO(I morning, grandmam!” A dame ot' eighty, wrinkled almost out of all semblance to humanity. bent, withered, with a great bundle of oakum strapped to her stooping shoulders. Hard work, from the cradle to the grave, had been her lot. Look at her shoes— patched. and mended, and cluttering. Look at her bonnet— broken, rugged and ribbonless. Look at her scanty gown! Ohl ye servilo slaves of fashion passing by, hooped, and jeweled, and perfumed, shrink not from the poor child of poverty: there is room enough between the wall and her mean attire, and while you listen to the lips you despise, blush for your inferiority. “Well, grandmam, this is a pretty cold day!” “Puty cold day, yes, dear, puty cold day, and hard work picking oakum."

For, with it shall be thrown the sweet emotions that

leaped up like living waters from the arid soil under which they have lain prisoned in tho friendless bosom. All the little grief-i it changed to momentary blessings. All the dear sunshine that came in through the delta of long re membered harshness and cold-world-deeils. All the better impulses that gathered like angels about the vengeful thoughts that harsh words had marshaied to fight against heaven. All the tears that had been scaled and driven back with an almost stony despair into their sacred depths. Oh! will not the kind word, sown in pity, bring forth a rich harvest in heaven? At such a time will the angel of the record say, “You made my poor, wandering, wretched child happy. You gave, not gold; but from your very soul took one precious thought and fastened her real faith to gether."

“You’re too old to work hard, grandmam.”

“Yes, that‘s true, dear, but then, bless the Lord. I’m a'most done. They’ll put the old woman in a box, by-and bye, and then, I reckon, I'm going up to glory.” “Don’t you sometimes get tired of living?" “Well, if I does, dear, I feels in a minute it isn’t right, and then I‘m hearing [lis yoke, dear, and it’s so light and

easy that I can wear it as long as He sees fit. for His yoke is easy and His burden is light. ‘dBut I must hurry, for I’ve got to get through this job this morning. Good-bye, dear," and, with a placid smile, she leaves us, more thankful that God has strengthened our faith through one of the humblest of his servants. How much beauty there may be in the little flower we recklessly trample under our feet! how much more in the lowly hearts that the great and the proud tread upon! Oh! could we but for a moment penetrate the omniscient mind of deity; it‘s verdicts upon the throngs that daily pass—could we bear the sight? I think of that when I 100k at the little apple-girl yonder. It seems to me that every one who sees her ought to give her a passing smile, or something to reward her patience. This bitter Weather she sits by her fruit, her pale face never once losing its touching expression, of, I cannot rightly in terpret what.

lead in one; cinnabar, or bisulphnret of mercury, in one; and arsenite of copper in one. In some instances two. and even three or four, of these injurious or poisonous substances occurred in the same parcel of confectionary.

To Tans Inpaxsstoxs or Lawns—A subscriber wishes to know the best way of taking impressions of leaves, plants, it. We gave directions for the process. a year or two ago, but Will repeat it. Take half a sheet of ﬁne wove paper, and oil it well with sweet oil; after it has stood a minute or two to let it soak through, rub oi the superﬂuous oil with a piece of paper, and let it hang in the air to dry. After the oil is pretty well dried in, take a lighted candle or lamp and move the paper over it in a horizontal direction, so as to touch the ﬂame. till it is perfectly black; when you wish to take of! impressions of plants, lay your plant carefully on the oiled paper, and lay a piece of clean paper over it, and rub it with your ﬁnger equally in all parts for about half a minute; then take up your plant, and be careful not to dis turb the order of the leaves, and place it on the book or paper. on which you wish to have the impression; then cover it with a piece of blotting paper, and rub it with your ﬁnger for a short time, and you will have an impression superior to the ﬁnest engraving. The same piece of black paper will serve to take of! a great number of impressions, so that, when you have once gone through the process of blanking it, you may make several impressions in a very short time. The principal excellence of this method is, that the paper receives the impression of the most minute veins and hairs, so that you may obtain the general character of most ﬂowers much superior to any engraving. The impres sions may afterward be colored according to nature.

Yunnan—Flannel, if worn during the day, should be taken off at night. In summer it allows the perspiration to pass 06 without condensing upon the skin, and prevents the evil effects of the rapid changes of temperature to which we are liable in our changeable climate when out-of-doors. In winter as a non-conductor of heat it is a protection against cold.

 But astronomers write it this way—"It has taken only 800 years for Arcturus to describe a space equal to the apparent diameter of the moon," for the stars are so very distant that most of them do not seem to change their places in the heavens even in the course of many thousands of years.

Amazing as the speed of Arcturus appeared to astronomers, they later discovered a star of the 8th magnitude in the southern hemisphere with even a greater proper motion. This star has moved the distance of the diameter of the moon in 220 years, which means that it moves over a hundred times faster than the average star. But the late Professor Barnard of the Yerkes Observatory had the distinction of discovering a star with the largest proper motion known. The average star does not exceed one minute of arc in a thousand years but Professor Barnard's "runaway star" has the amazing proper motion of 10.3 seconds a year. In that length of time it travels twice as far as the average star does in a century!

Scientists accomplish many wonderful, and most remarkable, deeds. Even the heroes who lived in the vivid minds of the ancient peoples dwindle into insignificance beside these men with their calm patience and brilliant seeking minds.

Professor Michelson has now invented a new method of measuring the angular diameter of the more distant stars. This is by means of an instrument called the "interferometer" which is attached to the 100-inch reflector of the Mount Wilson Observatory. Measurements of the angular diameter of Arcturus with the interferometer combined with the knowledge of its distance give us

He rides in a golden chariot drawn by two tawny horses, or many horses, even as many as eleven hundred, and he bears as his chief weapon the vajra, or thunderbolt, sometimes also a bow with arrows, a hook, or a net. Of all drinkers of sōma he is the lustiest; he swills many lakes of it, and he eats mightily of the flesh of bulls and buffaloes. To his worshippers he gives abundance of wealth and happiness, and he leads them to victory over hostile tribes of Aryans and the still more dreaded hordes of dark-skins, the Dāsas and Dasyus. He guided the princes Yadu and Turvaśa across the rivers, he aided Divōdāsa Atithigva to discomfit the dark-skinned Śambara, he gave to Divōdāsa's son Sudās the victory over the armies of the ten allied kings beside the river Parushṇī. Many are the names of the devils and demons that have fallen before him; but most glorious of all his deeds is the conquest of Vṛitra, the dragon dwelling in a mountain fastness amidst the waters, where Indra, accompanied by the troop of Maruts, or storm-gods, slew the monster with his bolt and set free the waters, or recovered the hidden kine.
