A Picture /: Indian Summer.
'rApped in peaceful stlllness Nature lies,

Wrapped In peaceful stiffness Nature lies.
As II, while gazing on the quiet skies,
She had looked past their depths, and me
Gods eyes,
And in that gaze grown calm;
A ", awed by the solemn sight she lay,
Or, fallen asleep, was dreaming life away,
Singing nnconsciously by night and day
A revcrcntisl psalm.
Half yelled In golden light of shimmering air,
The landscape sketches, wonderously fair,
No trace Of paling beauty anywhere
Nature is in her prime,
In richest robes the hills aud woods appear,
The lakes and springs lie motionlcss and clear,
Ruled by the fairost queen OF all the year
Beautiful harvest time.
The silver river, winding through the lea
The singing birds on every greenwood tree,
The music OF the never silent tree.
The deep and silon wood,
Nc nover-changing witnesses that He
Who made all these fair things 30 graciously
Is mighty in His love, and praycrfuly
whisper, "God Is good"

TRANSIT OF VESUs.-One of the as.
Economical questions to he settled by
observing the transit of Venus. which
will occur in 1874, is that regarding the
actual distance of the sun from our earth.
Before the occurrence of this important
event, our readers and public at large
will be fully informed regarding the
astronomical and mathematical methods
employed in the solution, and, it is to be
hoped, final settlement of this and other
important questions, together with the
number, locality and general character
of the numerous expeditions which are
even now preparing for it. 1t may,
however, be of interest to know that the
last transit of the planet Venus across
the suns disc occurred in the year 1863,
havi"g been preceded, as is always the
ease, 10y one in l761, eight years pre-.
vious. As these transits go in pairs. We

TRAINING CHILDREN. The Chicago
papers are united upon one question at
least, and that is the necessity of taking
some steps for the better training of the
children of the street in that city. There
is large class of these children, who
are neither employed nor attend school
and the press urges the passage of a
State law compelling attendance at
school, Ind the passage oil city ordi-
nance providing for the arrest of all
boys and girls found upon the streets
during school hours and incapable Of

gether with the establishment of city

might be placed, whether for a day,

The marketing is the peculiar feature

innate OF the numerical strength of the

sumed that the people nominallv aiher-

STNGrLAR DISCOVERY. - Among the
interesting scientific discoveries of late
is one showing that certain noises have
the power to cause the explosion OF Ger
tam substances. In the course of the
experiments on this subject, bags of
lodide of nitrogen were suspended from
the strings of bass.viol. The result
was that when the higher notes were
sounded, the chemical attached to those
strings instantly exploded, though the
application ofthe bow TO the bass strings
had no such effect. Besides the interest
that attaches to this fact as a scientific
discovery, it has considerable CONNER
cial Importance, which dealers in drugs
and chemicals will not lose sight Of
When it is once generally understood
that the iodide of nitrogen possesses this
quality, there will inevitably be a great
demand for it, for who could resist the
temptation to take advantage OF such
simple means to blow the average or
chestra of the period into smithereens?
