Life in the Moon.

~ ueo oNtu a N'lilllou ol'illOu ulupUO SUI
entiic IN n that the moon is kind of desert
world, without trace of animal or vegetable
life. But the following speculations will
show that new ideas are gaining ground:
Certain recent astronomical observations
seem to prove new chapter of life in the
Moon. Hitherto our sotteite has been look
ed upon as merely dry, earthly mass with
out water, without atmosphere, and conse
Quen'ly without vegetation or inhabitants
The popular Imagination, indeed, has al
ways persisted in peoping it with lunar den
liens; but how were they to subsst without
air! Euler thought the moon really had an
atmosphere; but his observations did not
con iace astronomers. Later De La Rive
and others added new authority to the opin
ion of Euler According to them she has
an atmosphere, but it is extremely low.
Herr Schawbe, distinguished German
astronomer, goes still further in a late mum
Der of the Astronomical! Annals (Asrono'
missile Naci richten,) he announces having
seen species Of vegetation in the moon
Here is the fact on which he bases his con.
c!uson The surface on the moon presents
numerous striped lines, like so many furrows
These had been explained in a variety of
ways some considered them as dried up
torrents of lava etc.-Schwabe advances
quite another solution. According to him
the ridges that run down the lo(tier lunar
mountain sides presents, at certain seasons a
green color, which they lose at the end of a
few months. Thence he concludes that there
exists a vegetation in the moon, coming at a
season corresponding to our autumn.
Shoud this interesting fact receive final au.
thenicty, it will certainly overthrow the
commonly received opinion that there is no
water on the surface of the moon; for since
the vegetation seen 10y Schwabe is green,
would not an olagy suggest that it is the rel
suit Of chemical combinations similar to
those which produce the phenomena Of our
earthly vegetation?
Webb has shown by comparison of the
present appearance of the moons surface
with that made by Meedler twenty years ago
that it has undergone great changes. Sew
eral of the minor craters have assumed diff
ferent shapes. These shapes Indicate the
exstance of air and water. Secchi has de-
monstrated that the peaks of the highest
mountains of the moon are covered with
snow. De La Rive has discovered that what
used to be regarded as barren plains, are
extensive forests.
The photography of the moons surface,
now going on in the American and Europe
on abservatories, and the special attention
paid to the study of the lunar surface by
some of the most distinguished astronomers
of the day, cannot fail to result in more WON
derful discoveries than these which we Just
noticed. We have no doubt, the mass Of
which the moon is made will be found to be
of the same character as that of the earth,
and subject to similar laws of existence, and
that the surface will be found to be capable
of susta ming organic life.

MARATHON.


Three thousand years have passed away
Since Marathon was won:
As brightly shines tho sun to-day,
AS darkly then it shone.
Shrouded in battle smoke and cloud,
When with wild war cry, deep and loud,
Arsolic freeman, brave and proud,
Dashed On the Persian host;
And with avenging weapons moved
The invaders frnln their coasts.
Yet, oh! for what gave they their blood,
To damp the Eastern dusts;
For what was poured the crimson fpcd,
From out their gallant hearts7
Was il but to enrich the soil,
Which their descendants slsvish toll,
Titled 70 increase a conqueror's spoil,
And fill tyrant's chests!
For this they braved the battles broil,
And barred their noble breasts.
For though success smiled on their cause,
And on their banners perched,
Though proudly Ger their fallen foes,
The conquerins patriots marched;
Short was the peace won with the life
Of many hero; soon to grief
Was changed their joy; for, civil strife
With blood bede we'd each dell.
And proof against the Persian chief
BY their o,cn hands they teUi
'.@." -.s+-
But oft the Grecian peasant hears,
At midnight's silence deep, -..
The shivering crash Of hostile sposrs,
And charging squadrons sweep.
Thus spectral warriors break the chain,
Which death around them bound,
H.. - IL fas~
And buried meath yon mound!
And those whose bones beneath the plain,
Of Marathon entombed have lain,
For centuries rise up again,
And shout the battle cry,
That brought disgrace to Herxes train,
To Hellas liberty!
This tale the grey-haired sires would tell,
To children on the knee
How wretehed Greece, since first she fell,
How great when she was free!
And as their kindling eyes revealed,
The vengeance they had else concealed,
Till coming years their hearts had steelcd
To break the tyrant's sway;
They'd tell Of this and Platea's field,
And old Thermopy'p!
Twas this that fired the Suliotc band,
In Greece's darkest hour;
Twas this that nervcd Bozzarris' hand,
To crush the Turkish power!
And when the work of death was done,
md fortunes light on Hellas shone,
Though Virgins wove the laurel crown,
To wreathc the Victor's head,
Greece owed the freedom che had won,
To her ILLUSTRIoUs DEAD!
Thus, oh my country! though the wave
OF faction burst DER thee,
And envy seek in blood to lave,
This land Of Liberty
The spirits Of our sires who died,
For freemen's rights, and side by side
With WASHING ON fought, when the tide
Of life ran down like rain,
The Ship of State, through storms may guild
Safe into port again!
