Days without Night.

Dr.Baird, in his lecture at the Con-
terence Room, gave some interesting
tacts- There Is nothing that strikes a
STRANGER more forciGly, if he visits
Sweden, at the season of the Year
when the days are longest, than the
absence of night. DR.. Baird had no
conception Oft before his arrival. He
arrived at Stockholm, from Gotten
burg, 400 miles distant, in the morn
ing, and in the afternoon went 10 ses
some friends-had not taken notes of
time--and returned about midnight; it
was as light rs it is here half an hour
before sundown. You can sec dis
tinctly.
But all was quiet in the streets it
seemed as if the inhabitants were gone
away, or were dead. No signs of life
stores closed.
The sun in June goes down at Stock
holm little before ten o'clock There
is a great illumination all night, as the
sun passes round the earth toward the
North pole, and the refraction of its
rays is such that you can see to read
at mignight DR. Baird read a letter
in the forest, near Stockholm, ut mid.
night, without artificial light. There is
a mountain at the head of the Bothnia,
on the 21st of June, the sun docs not
go down at all. A steamboat goes
up from Stockholm for the purpose of
carrying those who are curious to wit
pcss the phenomenon. 1t only occurs
one night. The sun goes down to the
horizon, you can see the whole face of
it, and in five minutes it begins TO
rise.
At the North Cape, lat 70 degrees,
the sun does not go down for several
weeks. In June it would be about 25
degrees above the horizon at midnight.
The way the people there know IT is
midnight, they see the sun rise. The
changes in these high ATTITUDES, from
Summer to Winter, are so great that
we can have no conception Of them at
all In the Winter time, the sun dis
appears, and is not seen for weeks
Then it comes and shows its face.
Afterwards, it remains for ten, fifteen,
or twenty minutes, and then descends,
and finally it does not set at all, but
makes almost a circle around the
heavens. DIR. Baird was asked how
04NS AA''iA"5SA III dAN W utNcu per
sons, and what they consider day.
He could not say, but supposed they
worked by the hour, and twelve hours
would be considered days work
Birds and animals take their accus-
toned rest at usual hours. The doctor
did not know how they learned the
time, but they had, and go to rest
whether the sun goes down or not.
The hens take to the trees about Z 2.
NJ, and stay there until the sun is well
up in the morning; and the people get
into this habit of late rising too. The
first morning DR.. Baird awoke in
Stockholm he was surprised to see the
sun shining into his room. He looked
at his watch, and found it was only
three o'clock, the next time he awoke,
it was five o'clock; but there were no
persons in the street. The Swedes in
the cities are not very Industrious,
owing, probably to the climate.

WAITING
BY D. B. TAYLOR.

There are times of keenest anguish
All alon Z the way of lite:
There are dark despairing moments
There are hours of mental strife.
There are days of deepest sorrow
When the tears refuse to fall:
but the waiting time. my brother,
Is the hardest time OF all
There are days of anxious waiting
For events to come and go;
When the heart grows sick with hoping
While the moments move slow.
Yes, 'tis then the heart grows weary
As falter to our fall;
For the waiting time. my brother,
Is the hardest time of all
We must sow the seed in season
We must wait the harvest time;
We must climb the heights of glory;
We should make our lives sublime.
But before the fruit is gathered
We must see the blossoms fall;
''And that waiting time, my brother,
Is the hardest time of ALL
Did Won never see mother
When the hour WAS growing late,
Waiting anNIously, and listening
For foot fall at the gate2
For loved one still is absent
And she fears what may befall,
And that waiting time, dear mother,
Is the hardest time of all
Did you never see maiden
AS the eve was drawing nigh,
Sitting close beside the window,
When she heaved a long drawn sigh?
She was waiting for his footsteps,
Who is wont at eve to call
but that waiting time. my sister,
Is the hardest time of ALL
We are waiting ever waiting
For an hour to make us biest-
When these hearts shall cease their aching
And the weary be at rest.
But the good we seek eludes rs
And leaves but hope and gall
"A ld that waiting time, my brother,
Is the hardest time of all .
But let's hope-a day is coming
That will change this human fate:
When these cares shall cease to trouble,
And these hearts shall cease to wait;
When we each shall go to Judgment
And the Savior's welcome call,
And the waiting time shall cease to be
The hardest time of ALL

Hardshen Sermon.

In the Hearth and Home appears
series of sketches entitled The
IIoosier Schoolmaster," by Edward
Eggleston. In chapter XII we have
the following specimen passage"
from the sermon of Rev. Mr.. Bosaw,
the Hardsleft preacher:

he began-but alas can never pic
ture to you the rich red nose, the see
saving gestures, the nasal resonance,
the snitfie, the melancholy minor key,
and all that. "My respective hear

ah, they're mighty sight of rescm-
blance-ah atwiXt men-ah and oxen
-ah,' Ralph could not help reflect
ing that there was a mighty sight of
resemblance between some men and
asses. But the preacher did not see
this analogy. 1t lay too close to himl
bekase-ah, You see men-ah is like
oxen-ah. Fer they's a Tremendous
difference-ah atN iXt different oxen
ah jest as there is atwixt different men
-ah fer the OK knoweth-ah his

here grew mellow, and the succeeding
sentences were i'll the most pathetic
and lugubrious voicel, ''you all know
-ah that your humble speaker-ah
has got-ah jest the best yoke-ah of
steers-ah in this ownship-ah"
Here Betsey Short shook the floor
with Suppressed litter. "They ain

Now, my respective hearers-ah

the close, in a most frightful way,
''fer--ah you see-ah, when go out
