Tho Earth as Seen from the Moon.

The inhabitants of the moon perceive
in their sky gigantic star. constantly
immovable at the same height. To their
eyes this globe is twelve times as large
as the sun, but it differs from all the
stars in being always suspended in the
same place over their heads. It presents
phases to them as the moon does to US,
passing through all the gradations of
new and full earth. This star. as we
have said, is the earth we inhabit
Those who dwell in the center of the
lunar disk behold our globe suspended
from their zenith, towering eternally in
the midst of the starry skies. Others
see it at 20 deg. of elevation, others at
As deg, as they inhabit spots more or
less removed from the center of the visi-
,ble hemisphere. Those who live near
the border of this hemisphere, see our
globe on their horizon resting on the
mountains. A little further on, only
half the earth is discernibie, and in pas
sing to another hemisphere the view
vanishes forever.
II we except the determination OF
lougitudes. the earth is more beautiful
and useful to the moon than the moon is
to the earth, and if the Selinites, or in
habtants of the moon, rolling under
meath US, interpret the law of final caus
es with as much partialitv as we do, they
will have right apparently superior to
our own for regarding creation, the
earth included, as especially made for the
Selinian race
The earth is a gigantic globe, sending
them thirteen times more light than the
full moon transmits to US. 1t revolves
on its axel in twenty four hours, and
during this period exhibits all portions
Of its surface, being thus more generous
than the moon. which always conceals
one hemisphere from our view. In con-
sequence of this motion, the Selinite
finds himself in an observatory magnii-
Gently situated for viewing the terrestrial
disk. and his position is preferable to
that of the inhabitants of the first four
| moons of Saturn, who can never see the
whole of that planret, and they can see
| earth better than we see any planet.
The earth generally presents to them
| q greenish hue, in consequence of the
immense quantity of water by which its
surface is covered, of the forests of the
new world, and of its plains. and also on
account of the tint of its atmosphere.
From time to time. however, large gray
or yellow spots divide the sphere. To
the east of the terrestrial disk appear

Anecdotes Of fCentenarians.

The recent death Of one of Frederit k
the Greats soldiers, at the age OF one
hundred and twenty one years, has call
ed forth list ofcases of longevity, from
the pen of Victor Mennier, of which the
following are the most remarkable.
Cardinal d'Armanac, in 1854, on his
way through q street in a certain town,
saw an old man, upwards of eighty,
weeping. On demanding of him the
reason. the old man replied, my father
has beaten me because passed before

The father OF the man was one hundred
and three. and the grandfather one hund-

twenty five years. On being asked what
she had done to thus prolong life

called such, contracted at the age of

ONE PAIROF STOCKINGS.

An old woman sat by her bright freside
Swavng thoughtfuliy TO and fro,
In an ancient chair whose creaky craw
Told tale of long ago;
While down by he's side on the kitchen door,
Stood basket of worsted bAlls-a score
Then she spoke Of the time when the ba sket there
Was filled 10 the very brim,
And now there remained of the goodly pile
But a single pair-for him.
Then wonder not at the diu,med oversight,
There's but one pair of stockings to mend to-nigh;
For each empty nook in The basket old,
By the hearth there's an empty seat:
And miss the shadows from of the wall,
And the patter of MANY feet
'Tis tor this that a tear gathered over nv sight
At the pair of stockings TO mend to- night.
'Tis said that far through the forest wild
And over the mountains bold.
Was a land whose rivers and darkening caves,
Were gemmed with tina rarest gold;
Then my first born turn'd from the oaken door,
And knew the shadows were only four.
Another went forth the foaming waves,
And diminished the baskets store
But his feet grew cold-so weary and cold
They II never be warm any more
And this nook in its emptiness seemeth to me
To give forth voice but the moan of the sea.
Two others have gone toward the setting sun.
And made them home in its light,
And fairy fingers have taken their share
To mend bv the ireside bright;
Some other basket their garments fill.
But mine! Oh mine is emptier still
Another-the dearest, the fairest, the best
Was taken by angels away,
And clad in garment that waxeth not old,
In land of continual day.
Oh wander no more at the dmmed oversight,
While mend the one pair OF stockings to- night
