SAD News FOR CHILLY PEopLE.-According
to the views of distinguished astronomer. the
earth is gradually increasing its distance from the
Sun, and in the course of six thousand years the
distance will be so great that Only eighth of the
warmth We now enjoy will be communicated to the
Earth from the Sun; the Earth therefore, will be
covered with eternal ice and snow, as we now see
the plains Of the North; where the elephant former
" lived, AID where there is neither Spring nor
Autumn. In this case, we recommend rheumatic
and equity people to lay in stock Of fannels. Six
thousand years will pass away very soon, and there
is no telling how expensive flannel and sich will

FRIGHTENING THE GIRLs.--Away up In the
northern part of Vermont, says the Knickerbocker
is a primitive sort of little village called "The
of the vicinity congregated for ga dance" 'and
dance they did," said our informant with an
JUNCTION unknown to our city bellies and beaux"
One interesting young man having ''lmblbed
rather too freely became tatlgued In the course OF
the evening, and wisely concluded to retire Tor
short rest.
\ door afar near the dance-hall, revealed imvit-
inely glimpse Of a comfortable bed, Of which he
took possession with prospect of an undlsurbed
snooze 1t 50 happened howbeit, that this was the
ladies withdrawing room, and no sooner had he
closed his eyes than a pair Of blooming damsels
came in from the hall, and began ad justng their
disordered ringlcts, the dim light of the tallow
candle not disclosing the tenant of the bed. The
girls had tongues, like most Of their sex, which
ran on in this wise:
'sWhat nice dance we are having! Have
you heard any body say anything about me Jane!
La, yes Sally, Jim Brown says he never saw
you look so handsome as you do tonight Have
you heard any body say anything about me"
about YOU. why, sartin; heard Joe Flint tell
Sam Jones that you was the prettest dressed girl
| in the room
Whereupon the dear things chucked, fixed up
a little more, and made off towards the ballroom.
They had hardly reached tc door when our half
conscious friend raised upon his elbow, and quite
intelligibly, though slowly inquired:
cha you heard anybody say anything about
me, girls?
'Phancy their Pheelinks' at that juncture.-
| They fed with an explosive scream.

On Her Trcntteh BirthdGy.
Girlhood's sunny days are over
With to-day;
They, with all their wayward brightness,
Pass away
Woman's earnest path before me

Who can tell what grief and anguish
There await!
Guide me, Father, God of mercy.
On the way:
Never from thy holy guidance
Let me stray.
Give what meet of joy or sorrow
Pleaseth thee.
Whatsoever thy will ordaineth
Best .tor me.
In the shadow and the darkness
BE my star,
In the light, lest radiance dazzle,
Go not far.
Make me patient, kind, and gentle,
Day by day:
Teach me how to live more nearly
As pray.
That my heart so much desireth
Grant me still,
If that earnest hope accordeth
With thy will:
Should thy mercy quite withhold it,
BE thu near.
Let me feel hold its promise
All too dear.
Here, upon lifc's very threshold,
Take my heart;
From thy holy guidance let it
Ne'er depart.
When lifc's stormy strife is over
Take me home,
