THE MooN.-Dr Scoresby, in account that he has
given of some recent observations made with the
Earl of Rosse's telescope, says -< With respect to
the moon, every object it's surface of one hundred
feet was distinctly to be seen, and he had no
doubt that under favorable circumstances, it would
be with objects sixty feet in height. On its surface
craters of extinct volcanoes, rocks and masses
of stones, almost innumerable. He had no doubt
that if such building as he then in were upon
the surface ofthe moon it would be rendered distinct
y visible by these instruments. But there were no
signs of inhabitants such ours-no vestige of
chitecture remains to show that the is or ever
was inhabited by ofmortals similar to ourselves
1t presented appearance which could lead to the
supposition that it contained anything like the green
fields and lovely yerdure of this beautiful world of
ours. There water visible, not sea, or river
or the of reservoir for supplying town
or factory-all seemed desolate''

''Too LATE !''-How often do these despairing
words fall upon the ear from lips of those who are
urged to themselves from state of lethargic
apathy, to perform some good deed to achieve some
high aim, to make some onward movement in the
great army of humanity. ''Why don't you set out
says the lover of nature and of beauty to the
old settler who has grown gray in the unpainted
mousse, on which the unfenced suns of summer and
the ptiless storms of winter have beaten for more
than half century. '' 1t is too late I am old
my sands are numbered-it wont pay-it is too
late y Even the middle-aged man, who daily de-
