An ASTRONOMICAL ADVENTURE
O r.,
MENTAL EXCURSION to the SUN

Possessing an adventurous spirit,
| determined to explore those re-
yions lying between the earth and
the great centre of our system, in
order that I might learn some
thing of the laws that govern. up

and contemplate the greatness, the
wisdom, and the mighty power
of him who spake into existence
the vast and stupendous scheme
of created things. To carry out
this project, / consulted the most
eminent astronomers, that might
learn the most practical route to
the sun; and accordingly, after
every necessary preparation, (such
as way-bills, certificates, letters of
introduction, etc. | procured a
through ticket, and taking leave
of all terrestrial scenes, | began
my ascension, with my face to-
wards the east, just as the moon,

her peerless form, and DER the

1t is scarcely possible for me to
describe my feelings, when | first
felt my feet disengeged from this
mundane sphere, and found my
self swimming in that immensely
of space intervening between the
earth and her satellite and espe-
cially so. when | contemplated the
vastness of the journey | had I'M
dertaken. AS soon as | was well
under way, and had become some
what relieved of the agitation ne
cessarily created by the elevation,
| cast my eye back to my native
planet, and gazed with intense de-
light; for having never bcheld her
from this position before, she pre-
scented many attractions, being just
at point where all her form and
magnitude came within range of
my vision; it was interesting to
mark her diurnal revolutions, aS
she whisked along, obediemt to
those laws that give the power by
which she regulates her every llt =
tion-turning regularly Oh her aX-

then her fiat portions-thc latter

all the DER hanging worlds, which

like little star in the distant

CONTEMPLATION of Christ.

Nothing has more attractive and
heart-weaning power than habltual
contemplation of the Lords living
person.. Our Redeemer is no mere
abstraction, no ideality, that has be-
ing only in our own shifting thoughts.
He is the most independently perso-
nal of all persons, and the most abb
solutely living of all who live. He
is s'the First and the Last, and the
Living One" He is so near us, as
the-Son of God,that we can feel his
war; breath on our souls; and, as
the Son4of man, he has a heart like
these hearts of ours-a human heart,
meek and lowly, tender, kind, and
sympathising. In the word--the al,
most viva-voce utterance Of himself
his arm.of power is stretched forth
beside you, that you may lean on il
with all your weight; and in the
wordoalso his love is revealed, tina,
on the bosom9of it you maylay your
aching head, and forget your sorrow
in the abundance of his consolation

A Wrinkle rbOut the Age Of ilOr-

A few days ago we met a gentle
man from Alabama, who gave us a
piece of information in regard TO as
pertaining the age of a horse, after
he or she has passed the ninth year,
which-was new to US, and will be,
we are sure, to most of our readers.
Ills this after the horse is nine
years old, a wrinkle comes on the
eyelid at the upper corner of the
lower lid, and every year thereafter
he has one well,defined. wrinkle for
each year of his age over nine, Ii,
for instance, a horse has three wrln-
kles, he is twelve; if four, he is thir'
teen. Add the number Of wrinkles
to nine and you will always get it
SO says the gentleman; and ne is
confident it will never fail. AS a
good many people have horses ove'
nine. II is easily tried. If true, TIE
horse dentist must give up his trade.

Follow but forth for a little time
the thoughts Of all that we ought to
recognize in these words All spring
and summer is in them-the walks
by silent scented paths-the rests in
MONDAY heat-the Joy of herds and
hocks-the power ofall shepherd life.
and meditation-the life of sunlight
upon the world, falling in emerald
streaks, and falling in soft blue shad-
ows, where else it would have struck
upon the dark mold, OF. ~scorching
dust-pastures beside the pacing
brooks-soft banks and knobs oflow-
ly hills-thymy slopes of down ever
looked by the blue line of lifted sea
crisp lawns all dim with early
dew, or smooth in evening warmth.
of barred sunshine, dinted by happy
feet, and softening in their fall the
sound of loving voices; all these are
summed in those simple words; and
these are not all. We may not mea-
sure to the full the depth of this hea-
venly gift, in our own land; though
still, as we think of it longer, the in
finite of that meadow sweetness,
Shakespeare peculiar joy, would
open on us more and more, yet we
have it but in part. Go out, in the
spring time, among the meadows
that slope from the shores Of the
Swiss lakes to the roots oftheir low
er mountains. There, mingled with
the taller gentians and the white mar
cissus, the grass grows deep and free;
and as you follow the winding noun
tain paths, beneath arching boughs
all yelled and dim with blossom
paths that forever droop and rise over
the green banks and mounds sweep
ing downin scented undulation, steep
to the blue water, studded here and
there with new-mown heaps, filling
all the air with fainter sweetness
look DIP toward the higher hills,
where the waves of everlasting green
roll silently into their long inlets a.
among the shadows of the pines, and
we may, perhaps, at last know the
meaning Of those quiet words of the
l47th Psalm, "He maketh the grass
to grow upon the mountains"
