Why nrt thou sad my only love

Come put thy head upon my breast,
I'll kiss away thy tears
And gently sooth thee into rest,
Pray Danish NIL thy fears;
What dear, has caused the all this grief
And robbed thee of rcpose,
Cannot give thee some relief

a Sublime Peroration

The closing passage of Prof Mtcllel's
lecture on Tuesday evening, was delivered
with thrilling effect. After speaking of the
'ntathomabe distances which no telescope
can penetrate, lying far beyond the system
IN which the earth revoIves, and yet filled
with independent systems of worlds of finfn-
tie numbers. he said:
Light travrrsrs space at the rate OF a mil.
lion miles a minute, yet the light from the
nearest star requires ten Years to reach the
earth, and HcrSchers telescope revealed stars
two thousand three hundred times further
distant. The great telescope of Lord Ross
pursued these creations OF God still dceper
into space, and having resolved the nebul;r
OF the Milky Way into stars, discovered
other systems Of stars-beautiful diamond
points gltterlng through the black dark.
ness beyond. When he bchcld the amaz-
ing abyss when he saw these systems seat
tered protnsely Throughout space-when he
reflected upon their immense distance. their
enormous magnitude, and the countless
m'll'cns of worlds that belonged to them.
1t seemed to him as though the wild dream
OF the german poet was more than rcalize.l.
"Iod called man in dreams into the vesli.
