ORGAN MUSIC AT TWILIGHT

/ The ieryid breath of August that all ,iay
with whitening kis-e-, dropped my gar
den's splendOur,
sunk with the sun. and like this parting raw
3 Touched the sad flowers with soft cares,
and tender.
My frvered pulses with the cool. grew calm
And twilight dews freshened the lily,
beauty:
Dropped on my hearts unrest q holy balm,
And changed TO dear delight, each drear,
duty.
In this translated mood. while yet the sun,
Flushed the pale sky with twilight, indie,
cision,
BY mlsics magic charm my soul wa. won,
And all my senses stepped in joys clysian.
In grand temple consecratc to Heaven,
Whose mullOned windows made the twi.
light DINNER,
Fading TO purple gloom but family riven,
From the tall choir, with distant gaslights'
glimmcr.
Wood -weetly there. as |, II thankful throng,
And reNcrent, crowded and crossed its sa-
cred portal,
Wood with the lure Of high. majestic song.
And organ voices tender and immortal.
And soon athwart the listening silence crcpi,
AsO'er happy heart its joys first tremor,
\ mnrmur low, as II the organ slept,
Or waking, fingered In "a sweet dilemma.
But in u moment more, resolved it, doubt.
Poured through the trcmulous gloom n
rythmic river,
Let all its prisOned foods of passion out,
And set a thousand answering hearts q
quiNcr.
Without--thc clustering shadows Of the night.
Within-a miracle Of arts creation;
The deep cathedral dusks with glory bright
And place and people in TRANSPORTATION!
Onward the music. with the moments went,
\ sweet success Of rapturous falls and
rises.
While first the player. then his instrument.
Engro-sed my wonder 10 profound surpri-
>ts.
Now. IN son lapse, as niirmuring waters 20
Ran the low symphonies In silNery currents (;
Anon. the "Xultant fugles' overlapping flow,
Matched the wild ecstasy of mountain tor
rents.
The breath of prayer hung vibrant on the
chords,
And sobbcd Its tender plea in mournfil
minor,
OR soaring with the singers solemn words,

Every ono is familiar with the singular
phenomenon known as the "ncw moor

in addition TO the slender crescent, the

ble few days after the new moon the
same appearance, or "the old moon nurs
ing the new" presents itself in like man
ner in the wandering moon, when she
rises few hours before the sun but we
fear there are few who shake of dull slecT
to see it. This is what is called iuD,,er,
cendree, or ashlight of the moon. Its ap
pearancc used to be taken As an indication
that the moon was phosphorescent, OF
possessed some light of her own, independ
ent Of that she receives from the sun
Now, however, 1t is satisfactorily proved
to arise from the sunlight reflected from
/ the earth upon the dark moon for 1t mus,
be remembered that the earth is TO the
moon what the moon is 10 the earth, a re-
iiector of the suns light and when it ]:
new to the earth it Is full earth to the
moon and rice rersa, and thus the Opaque
moon becomes illuminated by earth-ligh'

earth compared TO tho moon, this light i,

and this occa, ,ional bri!liancy of this ere.
Election Of reflection is accounted
for.
There appears to be no want OF an origin
for the provert, by hook or by crook. D
In the great fre of London many bound
ary marks were destroyed. This, in con.
sequence Of many disputes as to the site,
Of different properties, had a tendency &c
hinder the rebuilding Of the city. In
order to escape from the delay, Il was
decided 20 appoint two arbitrators, whose
decision should be final in all cases. The
surveyors appointed were Mr.. Hook and
Mr.. Crook, who gave SO much satisfaction
in their decisions that the building pro.
ceeded rapidly. From this circumstance
comes the saying, "by hook or by crook. .
1t is said that gold may be obtained
from quartz veins much more completely
by means of zinc than by the ordinary
methods OF amalgamation with mercury.
The process consists in first pulverizing the
quartz, and then introducing the powder
into a crucible partly filed with melted
zinc. The melted metal Immediately y
takes up the gold, leaving the quartz as .
Stag on the surface, which is to be skinned
off, After all the quartz has been used
up, the zinc is distilled off, leaving the
gold behind. Should the ores contain
any sulphur they must be roasted previ-
ously to the employment Of the zinc.

Sorne astronomers hive computed that
there are no less than $4,000, 900 suns in
the universe. The fixed stars are all suns
and have, like our sun, numerous planets
revolving around them. The solar system,
or that to which we belong, has about
thirty planets, primary and secondary, be-
longing to it. The circular field of space
which it occupies is in diameter q, 600, ,0OO,-
900 of miles, and that which il controls j.
much greater. That sun which is nearest
ncighbor to ours is called Sirius, distant
from our sun $4,000, 100000 of miles.
Now, If all the fixed stars are AS distant
from each other ~ Sirius is from our sun.

Off at the Public and the w6rkmen were
to be there. They separated early for q
good time that was coming. John has
tened to his home to. make himself
presentable. He passed the public with
out his usual cup, knowing that he could
make amends in tile evening. His
wages were in his pocket and he felt a
degree of Independence for 5heT knew
that he could pay his way with the best.
Full of the coming .carouse, he thought
of nothing until he came in front of
the clean step-stone. Tie was amazed
and began to doubt whether he had not
mistaken his own home. His wife, who
was on the watch for him.. threw the
door open, and he was more bewildeFed
at her Transformation than he, was at
the exterior of his house. He leaped
over tile whitened step4st5ne, lest he
should soil it wSsh his dirty shoes aAH

John, "what does all this meanes What
fine company are We expecting that all
is SO nice in John Moreylsghouse? Ye
must expect company tonight, to heal be AL
fixed up.'' ....-.'...,. -
"No John," said Maggie, 81 expect no
company but you! You areoia hard
working man, John. .. You have few
comforts. You do spend much time at
the. sle-house, and your money, that
would make your family comfortable,
with worthless men. Butperhaps, John,
it is more my fault than yours: You
are good man in the main, John, and
SO l thought would surprise you. Nou
know the good words spoken to us at
the tea, and how it was said that poor
folks could have many comforts. And
then the Kind ladies whom you know,
have told me how to do things that l
did not know. and III try1to bea better
wife to you than Ihave been."e 70 155C
John listened with astonishment, as
if some one had spoken to him from
another world. He laid his hand gent
ly on Maggie's shoulder, and in tones
he had not used for years, said: a'7 'IH'
And so, lass, yoi,4 have done allIthis
for me, a brute, that has spent his NOM
ey for drink with bad men, and left you
to suffer with hunger and cold; and |
have not spared the curses to you"
And away he went, leapfng over the
step-stone that he did not care to seA.
He soon returned laden with comforts
for his home to which it bad long been
a stranger. One chair was vacant at
the carouse that flight in the Public.
From that hour John was a changed
man. Nor was his home less changed; ).
for when good resolution, temperance
and religion come in at the door, want,
poverty and woe fly out at the window.
The next Sunday John took the hand
of his little girl. attended her to the
Sunday School, and asked to be a Sehol-
ar with his child; 5Ol eIam.nGi.lsUq |
q The clean step-stone has lost none of
its glow. 1t is reminder of dark and
days. 1t cheers John on his
return from toll, for it is the symbol of
a well-ordered though humble home,
where quiet and comfort dwell. '''-''
