DEAR CHILD condole with you. We

that these mortal bodies be laid aside
when the soul is to enter into real life. Ex-
listing here on earth is scarcely to be called
life. lis rather an embryo state-a prepar-
alton to living, and man is not completely
born until he is dead. Why, then, should
we grieve that new child is born among
the immortals-a new member added to
their society? We are spirits. That
bodies should be lent to US while they can
afford US pleasure, assist us in acquiring
knowledge, or in doing good to our fellow
creatures, is kind and benevolent act Of
God. When they become unfit for their
purposes, and afford Us pain instead
Of pleasure, instead of an aid be.

To remedy this, race of people far

weapon has been found in any of them
except one skeleton, and that was wrapped
in Mackinew blanket. IF we take into
account the "wear down" of all theso
mounds for a thousand years, and count
their numbers on both sides of the river,
it is easy to see they were once capacious

Size Of the Stars.

How LARGE are the stars, and are they
alike, or do they differ in size? 1t used to
be conjectured that they are of somewhat
similar magnitude, presumably about as
great as our sun, and that the differences
of apparent size are due to differences of
distance but W hen astronomers came to
discover that some of the smaller stars are
nearest to our system, this idea fell to the
ground. A German computor has now,
however, calculated the actual dimensions
of one particular star, and finds that its
mass is rather more than three times that
of the sun. The star in question is less
than the fourth magnitude-a compare
lively small one. What, then, must be
the sizeof the Sirius and Aldebaran class !?
The reason of its selection for this Diet er-
minationswas, that it is one of the compo-
nents of what is called a binary system-two
stars revolving about each other like the
sun and planet-and the motions of the
members of such system afford data for
the computation. The stars distance from
us is million and a quarter times that of
the earth from the sun, 50 that light takes
twenty years to travel hither from it,

Women and Marriage.

friends have ell come and looked at their
furniture and their splendid home for hap

ted them to their sunny homes, cheeffuliy
and without fear. 1t is natural to be san
guine for them, as the young are some
times carried away with similar feelings

and watch the bride in her white attire,
and with her smiling face and soft eyes

waking dream of future happiness, ana
persuade myself that it will be true L
think how they will sit upon the luxurlant
sofa as the twilight falls, and build gay
homes, and murmur in low tones the not
now forbidden tenderness, and how thrill
ing the allowed kiss and beautiful endear-
ments OF welded life will make even part
ing their Joy and how gladly they Will
come back from the crowded and empty
mirth of the gay to each others qone'
company.
l picture to myself that young creature,
who bushes even now at his hesitatlne
caress, listening eagerly for his footsteps
as the night steals on, wishing he would
come, and when he enters at last, with an
affection as undying as his pulse, nest
ling upon his bosom I can feel the tide
that goes flowing through the heart, and
gaze with him upon the graceful form as
she moves about in the kind offices of af-
fiction, soothing all his unquiet cares, and
making him even forget himself IN her
young and unshadowed beauty.
