Vegetation On the Moons Surface.

On the surface OF the moon are seen nu.
merous streaks or narrow lines, about hun. +,
dred in number, which appear, prehaps more
like long narrow burrows then anything else.
Sometimes they spread themselves on the I
lunar disc in straight lines, sometimes they,
are seen slightly curved ; in every case they
are shut in between the stiff parallel bor-
ders. 1t has often been supposed that these
furrows, the true nature of which has re.
manned hitherto unknown, represent the
beds OF ancient dried.up rivers, or rivers that
have not yet ceased to fow.. Other astronO.,
mers think they are streams Of lava which
have been vomited by lunar volcanoes. ,And
which reflect the light Of the Sun with moro
intensity than the adjacent regions. M
Schwabe, German astronomer, endeavoEs,
however, to give them another explanation.
He has published in the Astronomische No
chrichtsn some facts which tend to show that
these lines are the result OF vegetation on
the surface of the moon. According to the
author, il the surface Of the moon be exam.s
ined attentively with good telescope aud
q proper illumination, we discover between
the lines, or luminous burrows Of the high
mountain called Tycho, and on different
other points. quantity of very delicate
parallel lines of a greenish tint, which were
not visible some months before the observa.
ton, and which disappear few months after,
to return again in the proper season. These
lines, which are darker than the adjacens
parts, are clearly the result Of vegetation :;
and it is this vegetation which makes the
sterile parts of the moon appear % briehta as
luminous streaks. Accordingto to "a. Schwabes
these lines of vegetation are more sRaEtleuri

The Language Of the Heart.
BY c. L. LocHNAH'

There is a language which hath ne'er found tongue
Its strange, deep passion meaning 70 express,
In youth 'tis strongest-in life'S morning song,
When bright hopes cheer, and all Is happiness.
We hear its mandate with heaving sigh,
While yielding half and seeking half, TO ny.
Its power binds stronger than the tyrant's chain,
Or teaches freedom more than freeman's boast;
Its tones may fill the soul with deepest pain.
or wait it to Arcadla's charming coast;
Such lofty eIoquence, what tongue can tell
When round our soul It weaves its magic spell.
II lures the soldier to the field Of strife, '.-.'
Enduring honor there In blood to earn; -
Unmindful OF his home, his friends, his llfes
Or tears OF woe that in deep anguish burn
He spurns that peace which home and virtue claim
And cares for naught but trumpet sounds of fame.
II cheers the student o'eF his classic tome
With poet-bays and wild ambitions tale;
II gives the traveller sweetest thought, Of homo,
When in his dreams he sees his native vale;
With joys as fresh as in his boyhood day,
Ere yet ambition sought his feet to stray.
Each tone is music 10 the enamorad youth
When low 's brl,ht sun frs! dawns upon his slight
And in his maiden's heart Of hope aud truth
'Tis angels Whispering u serene delight,
That comes with fragrance like q summer breeze,
All fraugbt with nature . harmoDies.
It is that language full Of fairy vision, Z
The poet feels, when thoughts Of bliss sublime
Transport his soul from earth ~ scenes elysian,
witch scorn the muses. ofist sJstrhyme;
lnEvain hs tries his loftiest strain TO sing
Weak are his words, and weak bis music's wing.
And in the evening twilight ciacc0@
When life's strong passion have passed ava!
When vain our dearest source OF Joy appears,
And vain each pleasure IN this world Of clay,
'TiS weaker then, but to Its notes are given 81,
A charm aAd sweetness more akin to heaven.
t.-.,.rr.. .i.1t
Have you not heard It In the hour Of blissf
Have you not felt 1t in the hour Of pain : o.
Or marked its sweet trembling in loves pure kis
Or wept at its sorrowing, joylsss strainf
In vain the tongue essays Its magic art,
The strange, deep language Of the human heart.

A Missouri legislator, who was opposed
to project for a new county, "came down"
upon the locality after the following fashion:
"The soil is 80 poor that it would not grow
pennyroyul. Sir, you might NOW the coun-
