Wonders of the Universe.

Pro. Mitchell, in late lecture on the
wonders Of the heavens, said:
Light travcrses space at the rate Of
4 million miles a minute, yet The light
from the nearest star requires ten years
to reach the earth, and Herschers tclcs-
cope revealed stars two thousand three
hundred times furthcrdistant. The great
telescope of Lord Ross pursued these
creations of God still deeper into space
and having resolved the ncbul;c of the
milky way into stars, discovered
other systems of stars-bcautiful dia
mond points, glitterinS through the
black darkness beyond. When he be-
held this amazing abyss, when he saw
these systems scattered profusely
throughout space, when he reflected up
on their immense distance, their inorm-
.ous magnitude, and the countless mil
lions of worlds that belong to them, it
seemed to him as though the wild dream
of the German poet was more than re-
aliZcd:
"'God called man in dreams into the
vestibuIe of Heaven, saying, come up
lthcr and will show thee the glory Of
my house. And to his angels, who stood
about his throne, he said, take him, strip
him of his robes of flesh, cleanse his af-
fections, put new breath into his nos
trils, but touch not his human heart
the heart that fears, and hopes, and
trembles. 4 moment, and it was done,
and the man stood ready for this un-
known voyage. Under the guidance of
a mighty angel, with sound of flying
pinions, they sped away from the battle
ments of Heaven Some time, on the
mighty angels wings, they fled through
Saharas of darkness, wilderncsses OF
death. At length, from distance not
counted save in the arithmetic Of IIca
ven, light beamed upon tIlem-a sleepy
flame, as seen through a hazy cloud.
'They sped on in their terrible speed
to meet the light; the light, with lesser
snccd came to meet them In a moment,
the blazing of suns around thcm-a
moment, the wheeling of planets; then
came long etcrnitics Of twilight; then,
again. on the right hand and the left,
appeared more consultations. At last
the man sank down, crying, Angel |
can go no further; let me lie down in
the grave and hide myself from the i'll
.6uitude Of the universe, for end there is
|none.' End is there noneH demanded
the angel; and from the glittering stars
that shone around, there came coral
shout End there is nonc.r End there is
Inoneg demanded the angel again; and
lis this that awes thy soul? | answer,
Icud there is none to the universe Of God!
Lo! also, there is 10 beginning

trials. Here Is the way an impartial Jury was
