what Is Your Daughter Thinking
Abouts

You are very careful Of her dress; you at
tend personally to its purchase and fit. You
90 with her to see that her foot is nicely
CATERED, and you give your millinsr instruc-
lions as to the make and becomingness of her
bonnet; but do you ever ask yourself what
she Is talking about? In other words, do you
know anything OF all her inner life? Many
who are esteemed most excellent mothers are
as ignorant on this all important point as il
they had never looked upon their daughter 8
face. They exact respectful obedience, and
if the young creature yields il, and has nc
need Of physicians immediate services,
they consider their duty done. Alas, What q
fatal mistake! These are the mothers who,
never having invited the confidence o.
these young hearts, live to see il bestowed
anywhere and everywhere but in accordance
with their wishes. Is it, can it be enough "a
mother worthy the name to be satisfied that
her daughters physical wants are cared forf
What Of that yearning, hungry soul that IL
casting about here and there for something
te satisfy its questonings? Oh give thought
sometimes to this. When she sits there BY
the fire or BY the window, musing, sit down
by her, and love her thoughts out OF her.
Cast that fatal dignity" to the winds that
has come between so many young creatures
and the heart to which they lie nearest ID
these important forming years. Respect il
good in its place. but when it freezes up your
daughters soul utterance-when it sends hel
for sympathy and companionship to change
guides, what then? A word, . loving
kind word at the right moment--no mind car
over estimate its Importance. Remembes
this when you see the sod wrecks Of woman
hood about you; and amid the sweeping
waves of LIES pleasures, whatsoever else yol
neglect, do not fail to know what that younl
daughter Of yours 10 thinking about,

In the Wilderness
- The result Of the fierce conflict had been
adverse to the army of the United States.
General Lee had flung one wing OF his army
between our forces and the base OF their sup
plies. which would require another battle TO
regain them. Each division and corps COM
mander knew this sad condition oil affairs.
They were all summoned to a council of war,

night They were the saddest steps ever
taken BY that band Of devoted hearts. Fiji

repeated until all were gone, and the General
was left alone One of the staff Of division
commander, who was sick, was the last to
retire, ard he is authority for the above. All
were ignorant of each others order. They
felt assured that retreat had been directed.
Any other alte rnative would have been be-
lieved to be madness. Had they known that
the order had been given to advance, instant
and universal mutiny would have been raised.
That eloquent silence for which he has ever
been noted. was the key of his success there.
The next morning each corps moved. and
Gen. Lee, the instant he perceived it, with
vehemence exclaimed: Our enemy have a
leader at last, and our cause is lostl He had
bid his officers the night before to let the Z
soldiers sleep long. But now he saw the
army whom he thought utterly defeated,
moving round between him and his base Of
supplies. He FASTENED to begin retracing his
course, and confessed to an artillery officer
OF the confederate army that the doom OF
their cause was sealed.

Shall We Ever Know more About the
Planets.

Such is the immensely of space between us
and the nearest planetary body it seems al
most impossible IN the present state OF knowl
edge to make much progress in regard to any
of the solar group. However, telescopes are
constantly revealing great and unlocked for
things in regions above the sky, and it is by
means improbable that astounding discover
les are destined to crown with illustrious
fame some bold genius in a coming day that
may entirely eclipse those which are recorded
among the grandest achievements of the hu-
man intellect
Telescopes have not attained to perfection
of which it Is universally admitted by prscti>
cal astronomers they are susceptible. Very
huge instruments are found in the principal
national observatories Of Europe and Amer
ca, but they fall quite below what they should
be In such institutions, so long as the fact is
admitted that there is no positive limit to
their power.
No rejecting telescope has been made so
large as should be constructed to comport
with the dignity of the service in which it
would be employed nor has an objects glass
exceeded about three feet The expense Of
ameiallic speculum twenty feet, and an OBJ
ject glass three yards in diameter, would open

moon surface brought apparently within ten
miles of the earth. If there are anylarge ar
tihcial structures there. o. even on some Of
the other planets, equal TO those that have
been reared here, they could be- distinctly
examined. Forests, mountains, lakes, rivers,
and other objects. would be clearly defined
But the prodgious expense of perfecting
two such magnificent appendages to the two
kinds of telescopes used for distant explors>
tions is wholly beyond the resources of any
save millionares. IL one of these favored
mortals would secure to himself cyclopadial
immortality, lie, him order the fabrication Of
a telescope that would show to us the glories
of Gods creations where no philosopher has

illimitable resources Of creative power, while
it would humble as in view of our low estate,

cope would bring to light Haipers Weekly.
