was applied to it, striking instance of the
perseyering laboriousness Of the man.
While sublimely gauging the ihavens with

uERscHEL the ASTRONOMER.

The life of Sir William Herschel affords a
remarkable Illustration Of the force OF per-
severance. His father was a poor German
musician, who brought up his four sons to
the same calling. William came over to
England to seek his fortune, and he joined
the band of the Durham Militia, in which
he PLAYED the oboe. The regiment was ly
ing at Doncaster, where DIR. Miller first be-
came acquainted with Hersehel, having
heard him perform a solo on the violin in a
surprising manner. The doctor entered
into conversation with the youth, and was
so pleased with him, that he urged him to
leave the militia band, and take up his
residence at his house; for a time Herschel
did so, and while at Doncaster, was princi-
pally occupied in violin playing at concerts,
availing hiniaelf of the advantages Of DR..
Miller's library to study, in his leisure hours.
A new organ having been built tor the par
ish church Of Halifax, an organlst was ad-
yertised for, on which Herschel applied Tor
the office and was selected. While oftlclat-
ing as organist and music teacher at Halifax,
he began to study mathematics, unassisted
by any master Leading the wandering life
of an artist, ne was next attracted to Bath,
where he played in the Pump-roOm band,
and also as organist in the Clctagon chapel.
some recent ulsCOfcIlCS III tlotlV1Ouly nav
ing arrested his mind, and awakened in him
a powerful spirit of curiosity, he sought and
obtained from friend the loan Of a two foot
Gregorian telescope So fascinated was the
poor musician by the science, that he even
thought Of buying telescope, but the price
asked by the London opticians was SO alarm
ing. that he determined to make one.
Those who know what reflector telescope
is. and the skill which is required to prepare
the concave metallic spectrum, which forms
the most important part Of the apparatus,
will be able to form some idea of the diff
Guilty of the undertaking. Nevertheless,
Herschel succeeded, after long and painful
labor, in completing a fye-foot reflector,
With which he had the gratiicatson of OBJ
serving the rings and satellites of Saturn.

HENRY WARD BEEcHER ON LOVE.

The following is from a recent sermon by
the pastor of Plymouth church:
On earth there is nothing mole beautiful
than the first breaking of young, strong,
new, pure love. No flowers thai ever bios
somed, however fair; nor Fragrance that any
flower ever emitted, however sweet; no bra
very of the sky; no Witchery of art, nothing
that man ever invented or imagined is to be
compared with the hours of dawning love in
the young soul. And it is a shame that
men should be taught to be ashamed OF that
which is the prophecy of their highest be-
ing and glory. Alas, that men should not
know that to endure it must rise higher,
since ii is only by growing into its full and
later disclosures that 1t must be saved from
quick mortality, 1t must grow or die for
that which sufhees for a beginning is not
enough for all, and for all time
Love, therefore, should be school-mas-
ter, carrying it's pupils up from room to
room, through the whole university Of the
mind As the lower begins first, it ends
first. The higher, beginning latest lasts
the longest
And, hence, true affection is strongest in
the latter periods of being. Perhaps it is
less stimulating than young love, but the
when we love earliest is not found in truth
or analogy. No one knows the whole lore
of love, that does not know how to love
with the reason, the Imagination, and all
the moral sentiments. 1t is the most lnte
rior school that the soul can know. Men
may know how to deal with numbers and
solve problems; but that is the rarest, the
innermost, the deepest knowledge that
comes with loving by all the parts and facul-
ties of the soul.
who are good, since the line, the direction
is from the flesh toward the spirit 1t is
from the low toward the high, 1t is frou
the substantial toward the invisible. And
none can truly love except those whose life
is the unfolding Of their whole nature on the
plan of Christianity
How pitiful it is to see men build too
low | cannot bear to see the young gath
ering together and building their nests as
the birds do. On my lawn | see the lark 5
and other birds building in the grass and
know that before the young are fiedged the
remorseless mower, with revolving strokes,
will sweep the ground, and the nests will be
utterly destroyed, and the young cut and
wasted. And do / not see men building
their nests Just so? Do ! not see love be-
ginning to nestle in the fiowers2 But the
flowers themselves are rooted in the dirt
down low, close to the foot that easily shall
crush them
| mourn when | see a mother loving her
ehildren for tiue Cor time only nourh
when ! see two natures that should be eteT-
naIy affianced, loving each other within the
horizons of time There must be something
higher than the circlings of this world. No
love is fit to be called by the name love that
has not in it something of the other world,
and much of immortality. 1t must have in
1t faith and hope. 1t must be o love that is
served by the reason, by the Imagination, by
all that there Is in the soul.

A LADY's ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN.

A lady who signs herself A Martyr to
Late Hours, offers the following sensible
suggestions to young mem
Dear gentlemen, between the ages Of IS
and 10, listen to few words of gratuitous
remarks. When you make social call Of
an evening, on young lady, 60 away at
reasonable hour. Say you come at eight
o'clock, an hour and half is certainly as
long as the most fascinating Of you in con
versatlon can. or rather ought to desire to
use his charms Two hours, indeed, can be
pleasantly spent with music, or other games
to lend variety; but, kind sirs, by no means
stay longer Make shorter calls and come
oftSner. A girl-that is, a sensible, true
hearted girl-will enjoy it better, and really
value your acquaintance more. just CON
ceive the agony of girl who, well knowing
the feeling of father and mother upon the
subject, hears the clock strike ten, and yet
must sit on the edge of her chair, in mortal
terror lest her papa should put his oft re-
peated threat into execution, that OF inviting
the gentleman to breakfast And we girls
understand it all by experience, and know
what it is to dread the prognostie Of dis
pleasure In such cases a sigh of relief
generally accompanies the closing door be-
hind the gallant, and one don get over the
feeling of trouble till safe in the arms of
Morpheus. Even then the dreams are
sometimes troubled with some phantom of
an angry father, and distressed (for both
paTties) mother, and a young man viii make
a longer call than he ought to. Now. young
gentlemen friends, I'll tell you what we girls
will do
For an hour and half we will be most
irresistibly charming and fascinating Then
beware; monosyabIe responses will be all
you need expect and if, when the limits
shall have passed, the startling query shall
be heard coming down stairs Ism it time
to close up?' you must consider it righteous
punishment, and taking your hat, depart, a
sadder, and it is to be hoped, a wiser man.
Do not get angry, but the next time you
come, be careful to keep within just bounds
We want to rise early these pleasant morn
ings and improve the shining hours, but
when forced to be up at such unreasonable
hours at night, exhausted nature will speak,
and as natural consequence, with the ut
most speed in dressing, we can barely get
down to breakfast in time TO escape a repre-
mand from papa, who don't believe in
beaux as though he never was young, and a
mild, reproving glance from mamma, who
understands a little better poor daughter S
| feelings, but must still disapproye outwardly
to keep up appearances. And now, young
men, think about these things, and don

A CHARMING PICTURE BY WELL.
KNOWN ARTIST.

] have speculated deal on matrimony.
! have seen young and beautiful women,
the pride Of gay circles, married as the world
says, well. Some have moved into their
costly houses, and their friends have all
come and looked at their furniture and their
splendid home for happiness, and have gone
away and committed them to their sunny
hopes cheerfully and without fear. 1t is
natural to be sanguine for them, as the
young are carried away with similar feel
lngs. love to get unobserYed, in 4 corner
and watch the bride in her white attire, and
with her smiling face and soft eyes meeting
me in the pride of life, weave a waking
dream of future happiness, and persuade
myself it viii be true.
l think how they viii sit upon the luxu-
ri0us sofa as the twilight falls, and build
gay hopes and murmur in low tones the not
now forbidden tenderness; aud how thrill
lngiy the allowed kiss and beautiful endear-
ments of the welded life will make even
their parting joyous, aud how gladly they
will come back from the crowded and empty
mirth Of the day to each other quiet com
pany. picture to myself that young crea-
ture who bushes even now at his hesitating
caress, listening eagerly for his footstep as
the night steals on wishing he would come,
and when he enters at last, with an affection
as undying as his pulse, folds her to his bo-
som, | can feel the tide that goes flowing
through the heart, and gaze with him on
the graceful form as she moves about for the
kind offices of affection, soothing all his un-
quiet cares, and making him forget even
himself in her young and unshadowed
beauty.
| 60 forward for years and see her luxuri-
ant hair put soberly away from her brow, and
her girlish graces resigned into dignity, and
loveliness chastened with the gentle meek
ness and maternal affection. Her husband
looks on with proud eye, and shows the
same fervent love and delicate attentions
which first won her; and her fair children
have grown about them, and they go on,
full Of honor and untroubled years, and are
remembered when they die-Irrilg.
