Song of the Old Folks.

All, don't be sorrowful, darling,
And don't be sorrowful, pray;
Taking the year together, my dear,
There isn't more night than day;
IT'S rainy weather, my darling,
Times waves, they heavily run.
But taking the year together, my dear,
There isn't more cloud than sun!
We are old folks now, my darling,
Our heads are growing gray,
But taking the year all round, my dear,
You will always mud the May!
We have had our May, my darling,
And our roses long ago,
And the time of the year is coming, my dear,
For the silent night and tine snow
And God is God, my darling,
Of night as well as Of day;
And we feel and know that we can go
Wherever He leads the way.
All, God of the night, my darling,
OF the night of death so grim:
The gate, good wife, that leads out of life,
Is the gate that leads to Him.

ANOTHER STARTLING DIscovERY.-The
other day, to our inexpressible grief and
amazement, it was reported that the velocity
of light has been miscacuated and the sun is
farther from the earth--or nearer, which is il?
than has been generally suspected. A cor
respondent of the Waterville Mail adds the
following drop to our bucket of philosophical
trouble:
have ascertained by very precise and intri-
cate calculations, that the distance between
the north pole and the equator at the east is
some degrees less than at the west; the two
having heretofore been precisely equal. The
consequence Is, as has been seen by those who
have carefully counted, that the year 1868
was some three days shorter than the previous
year. / have also ascermined that the dis
lance from the equator to the south pole is
some two degrees and ten minutes greater
than from the same pole 10 the equator: thus
shortening the distance between east and
west some five hundred miles. My inference is
that II these changes continue, the earth will in
a few years so far lose its balance as TO slide
off at right angle directly into the sun, and
disappear with all on board.

AN APOLOGIZE FOR THE SEAsoN.-Se-
duced by the deceptive sunshine, the birds be-
gan TO sing and the reptiles to creep forth from
their hiding places during the first days of
spring But, just as they were disposing them
selves comfortably to enjoy the vernal air, the
sky became colder, the air more nipping, and
though the sun. still shone brightly, the
wind, right from the North, blew an icy
blast that drove the creatures back TO their
nests and holes and chilled them TO the mar
row.
The twittering birds at Richmond said to
each other at was all mistake and there is
no warmth for us from the North or anywhere
else; the CLEAN of sunshine was deceilful, and
we will sing no more joyful songs" The cop
pcrheads at the North wriggled back to their
to their obscure retreat, grnmbling, ..it is not
spring at all. and these stern winds of north
ern ATTITUDES will be the death of US" So the
sun continued shining and the wind kept
blowing, while the air was pure and clear and
the land unstained with the slime of crawling
reptiles.-LN. Y. Post.
