Old Times.
EMILY

Old memories haunt me as gaze around
Upon the heather ripeniug into bloom,
Thess mountain paths are consecrated ground,
And dear the graceful fern and golden broom.
Thy feet once pressed them, a i it seems 10 me,
AIf things are lovelicr for thy memory.
There is a path which leads through tangled
grass,
Unto rustic bridge across the stream;
This was our favorite walk; l often pass
Along it now, and close my eyes, and dream
That in the sweetest sounds which meet my car
I recognize thy voice, 50 mu.cally clear.
Beyond the bridgea tiny forest lies,
Where two could well converse, themselves
unseenj
We often sat there, and for our fond eyes
Nature put on her loveliest shades of green.
The birds sang ioyously, while hand in hand
We kept silence each could understand.
What need of Words when thoughts beyond all
speech
Beamed from our eyes in many tender glance,
l gazed on yours, and yoa on mine, till each
Seemed to be lost in most blissful trancej
Until the fervent pressure Of your hand
Recalled us both from dreams of Fairy-iand.
Another path we sometimes took: was one
That led through marsh and swamp up to the
hills;
Against that wooden rail you leant your gun,
The dogs stood idle, and the game-bag swung
CarelessIy from my wrist so stood we till
Night falling, found the bag was empty still.
o dear old days that never can return!
passionate youth, that lives its life twice
-.-.-. o'erl
What would / give 10 feel my heart once burn
With half the ierceness that felt of yore

Old memories fade-I am once more alonel--

FALLING STARS EXPECTED-Those who
remember the great meteoric display of
November 18Th, 1888, will be glad to learn
that return is expected this fall The most
important of all celestial phenome ena has
been the subject of much inquiry among
astronomers. It is found that in November
of every year the number of falling stars is
more numerous than at 9th er periods, and
that th ere is a less considerable display in
August. The July number of Silman's
Journal contains the last of a series of arti
cIes by II. A. Newton on the "NoVember
Star shower" In these articles Prof. New
ton has traced the history of this startling
phenomenon from the first record OF its ap-
pearance in a d. 9O2, and has discussed at
length its most probable cause. He comes
TO the conclusion that there is ring of
small planets revolving around the sun;that
planets are distributed very uEevenly in the
ring. there being a small section of the ring
where the bodies are numerous with a few
stragglers scattered along the rest of its cir
cult; that the earth passes through the ring
every year, and each year in a new place;
aud that it. passes through that part of the
ring in which the planets are most numer-
Gus once in about thirty three years. lie
further concludes that the period of the rev.
oution of this ring of planets around the
sun may be calculated with very great &C
curacv, and that it is '354. GA days--a little
less than year. The motion is retrograde,
and the velocity with which the bodies en-
ter our atmosphere is 20 II miles per Sc
coud. The following are Prof. Newton's
remarks in regard to the next appearance of
the great shower: "If, then, shower occurs
iu A D, 1864 C31 years after 1889, it seems
most reasonable to look for its greatest d is
play ION the morning of November l4thl
iI4o west of GU. a tiant!o States. that is. in
the western part of the Pacific Ocean and in
/ Australia. In 1865 it may be looked for as
central go furthest west, or in western Asia
and eastern Europe; and in 1866, on the
western Atlantic. The year in which we
have most reason to expect shower is
1866. since the cycle OF SO 25 years is prob
/ ably to be reckoned from some date hetwear
Novombsr in 1882 ard in 1888. These

dictions. Zoe causes alluded to above, ans

of structure OF the group, may cause anex-
pected variations Of tinae and place.

THE FIRST STEP.-Towards re union of
the States is Peace. The first step towards
Peace is for the sovereign people TO speak
out their just demands. He who o6struGts
this movement by attempting, under the
guise of friendship, to give it an abolition
war coloring, Is worse enemy than an open
implacabie foe. Some men serve abolition
and its war in the most effectual manner. =
They seek, by pretending Democracy, to
turn the noble impulses Of the people into
the abolition channel Of sectional hate -
Such men are ready with gfoans of oerls-
ion for the South, but have none for the
monster abolition, nor its disunion war

Jones and Smith are quarrelsome neighbors.
Both see the folly of continued strife, and
desire pacihcation. johnson, the friend of
Jones, knowing this mutual desire, under
takes to see if it can be honorably consum-
mated, and writes to Thompson, the friend
Of Smith, that he would like to consult about
it. Thompson goes to meet johnson, and
they enter into CORES spondence as follows:

To which Johnson replies:

STRONG CHARACTERs.-Strength of char-
acter consists of two things-power of will,
and power of self restraint. Itrequires two
things therefore, for its existence-strong
feelings, and strong com mand over them.-
Now, it is here, we make a great mistake.
We mistake strong feeling for strong char
acters.
A man who bears all before him-before
whose frown domestics trembe his children
quake-because he has his will obeyed and
his own way in all Things, is called strong
man. The truth is that he is weak man;
It's his passion that is strong He that is
mastered by them is weak. You must
measure the strength of man by the power
of the feeling he subdues, not by the pow er
of those which subdue him. And hence
composure is very often the highest result
of sire myth.
Did we never see man receive fragrant
insult, only growing little pale, then re-
ply quickly? This is man spiritually
strong. Or did we never see man in an
guish stand as if carved out of solid rock,
mastering himself? Or one bearing hope
less daily trial remen silent and never tell
the world what cankered his home peacs7
That is strength.
He who with strong passions, remains
chaste, he who is keenly sensitive, with
many powers of indignation in him, can be
provoked and yet restrain himself and for
gve-these are the strong men, ,the spiritual
heroes.

the warning, so long as they imagine they

and as the goods went up the marks went
up, until they finally covered the whole sole
aud then went over upon the upper leather.

DARK HouRs.-There are dark hours

DARK HoURs.-There are dark hours
that mark the history Of the brightest years.
For not whole month in many of the mil
lions Of the past, perhaps, has the sun shoue
brilliantly all the time. There have been
cold and stormy days every year. And yet
the mist ana shadows of the darkest hour
disappeared aud fled heedlessly away The
most cruel ice fetters have been broken and
dissolved, and the most furious storm loses
its power to harm. And what a parable is
this in human life-of our inside world
where the heart works al its shaduwing of
the dark hour, and many a coldIblast chii Is
the heart to the core. But what matters it?
NJ an is born a hero, and it is only in the
darkness aud storms that heroism gains its
greatest and best development aud the
storm bears it on more rapidly to its destiny.
Despair not, then. Neither give up; while
one good power is yours use it. Disap-
pointment will not be realized. Morufy-
ing failure may attend this effort and that
one-but only be honest aud struggle on,
and it will work well.
