Measuring the Baby.

We measured riotous baby
Against the cottage wall;
lily grew at the threshold.
And the boy was just as tall.
A royal tiger lily,
With spots of purple and gold
And heart like a jewelled chaliee,
The fragrant dew to hold.
Without the blackbird whistled,
High up in the old roof trees:
And to and fro at the window
The red rose rocked her bees;
And the wee pink fists of the baby
Were never amoment still.
Snatching at the shine and shadow
That danced at the lattice sill.
All me in the darkened chamber.
With the sunshine shut away,
Through tears that fell like bitter rain,
We measured the baby to-day.
And the little bare feet that were dimpled,
And sweet as a budding rose,
Lay side by side together
In the hush Of long repose.
Up from the dainty pillow.
White as the risen dawn,
A fair little face lay smiling
With the light of heaven thereon;
And the dear little hands like rose leaves,
Dropped from a rose. lay still,
Never to catch at the sunshine
That crept to the shrouded sill.
We measured the sleeping baby
With ribbons white as snow,
For the shining rosewood easket
That waited him below.
And out of the darkened chamber
We went with a childless moan;
For to the height of the sinless angels
Our dear little one had grown.

Centennial Hor,icui,uraI society.

A meeting was recently held at Phila-
delphia on the call of the Pennsylvania
Horticultural Society, at the request of
the executive committee of the Centen-
NAL Commission, which was attended
by delegates from various parts of the
United States, many of whom had been
present the proceeding week, at the ses-
sions of the American Pathological So
ciety at Boston. A committee was ap-
pointed, whose report was subsequently
presented, to form constitution and
nominate officers of an association to be
called the Centennial Horticultural So
ciety, the chief object of which is de-
clared to be to aid the United States
Centennial commissioners in the prepare
ton of plans for the Horticultural de-
partment of the Centennial Exposition,
planting of the garden, the planting of
garden, the construction and manage
ment of horticultural houses, and to
provide for the proper representation of
the great interests of pomology and hor-
ticulture in the exhibition.
The following officers were elected;
President, Patrick Barry, of Roches-
ter, New York Secretary A. w. Harri-
son, of Philadelphia; Treasurer, VIM.
Hacker, of Philadelphia Vice-Presi-
dents, w. L. Shaffer, of Philadelphia;
p. j. Berkmans, of Georgia; j. r.
Warder, of Ohio; w. @. Flagg, of Him
OILS; w. G.. Strong, of Massachusetts,
and J. Strenzel of California.
An executive committee of twenty
five was also named, and the president
and any five of its members wereauthor-
lied to add ten more to the number If
found desirable.
The American Pathological society be-
ing the acknowledged authority in the
land in relation to fruits, with regularly
constituted officers and committees in
every state and territory in the Union,
and having voted to hold session in
connection with the Centennial Exhibi-
ton in 1876, it was authorized and re-
quested to cooperate with this Centen-
nial Society.

Assyrian Discovery.

Mr.. George Smith writes to the Lon
don Daily Telegraph ''The collection
brought home by the expedition confided
to my charge includes over 400 separate
Inscriptions, beside various objects of
art, domestic economy, implements, etc.
The inscriptions throw new light upon
the history, politics, astronomy, my
thology, geography, and language of
ancient Assyria; but it would be tedi-
Gus to your readers to inflict ON them a
critical and minute examination of all
these texts. will, therefore, select a
few as characteristic specimens of the
collection, and / shall commence with a
text that has attracted most attention
that, namely, which belongs to the
Deluge series. When last year l pub
lished a translation of the text in ques-
ton, was obliged to note with regret
that in the first column of the inscrip-
ton there were about fifteen lines en-
tirely lost. The lacuna occurred at q
point of high interest to students and
the world in general-for the Divine In
structor Of Sisit was about to give orders
for the embarkation in the ark. 1t is
needless, therefore, to say with what
satisfaction lighted upon the welcome
tablet which fills up this very important
gap. The fragment found during the
Daily Telegraph expedition belongs to
the first column of the Deluge series of
inscriptions it continues the speech of
the god Hea, the commencement OF
which is on the portion of tablet already
in the Museum. On the fragment of
the old collection, Hea tells Sisit to warn
the world, because of the wickedness of
the people; on the Daily Telegraph por-
ton Hea continues by predicting the
flood, and then commands Sisit as fol-
lows; ''On the coming of the flood
which l shall send, thou shall enter into
the ship, and the door of the ship turn,
thou shalt send into the midst of it thy
corn, thy furniture and goods, thy gold
and silver, thy male slaves, and thy fe-
male slaves, the sons of the army, the
beasts of the field, the animals of the
field, all that thou nearest thou shall do
they shall spread, and
they shall guard the door of the ship.
Sisit attended and opened his mouth, and
spake, and said to the God Hea, his
lord" Five lines of the speech of Sisit
follow this. They are too mutilated for
exact translation; and then in the an
swer, Sisit refers to the difficulties in |
the way of the work Ineed not dwell |
upon the interest of placing this account
side by side with that contained in the /
book of Genesis"

A Balloon VOYAGE.

DONALDSON STARTS FOR EUROPE AND
LANDS IN NEw-CANAAN, CONN.
New York, SEPT. 7,
The problem of making balloon voy-
age to Euroge was believed by many
persons yesterday to be in process of
solution when they learned that the
aerial car which floated over. the city
about $50 a. m. was the Graphic Bal
loon, though much reduced in size. The
late failure at the Capitoline Grounds,
made people, to some extent, suspicious
of the real intention of those concerned
ia the enterprise. 1t was then crafty
ing to learn that Donaldson and, his
companions had undertaken the trip
though without the company Of Prof.
Wise, for whom the balloon had first
been ostensibly prepared. At twenty
minutes past ten the signal service Off
Ger at the Equitable building on Broad
way was able to get a last look at the
balloon, and long before that time it had
disappeared from the view of the many
who watched its progress from street,
balcony, housetop, and church steeple.
The process of Initiating The balloon, on
Saturday, and its condition on Sunday
night have already been detailed. The
Inhalation was resumed, yesterday morn
ing, and was completed about 8. Fiji
teen minutes later the sand bags, weigh
ing in the aggregate about 5000, and the
boat being attached, the balloon was de-
clared to be ready for its voyage. Messrs
Donaldson, Lunt, and Ford took their
places, the rope holding the balloon was
cut with an axe, and the balloon shot
into the air. The spectators on the
ground cheered as the balloon assembled,
and Mr.. Donaldson was seen to wave an.
acknowledgment with his hat The bal
loon proceeded in q northerly direction
until it had reached an apparent altitude
OF 5000 fee. 1t then DETECTED east
ward, and when last seen from the Cap
itoline ground, its course was, as nearly |
as could be judged, northeast by east.
AS it passed over New York the move
ments of the people in the boat were
plainly visible. Late in the afternoon
was received from New
Canaan, Conn, that the balloon had met |.
with misfortune. The dispatches
state that in the midst of terrible rain
storm the balloonists tried to effect de-
scent. They thought it necessary to
cap out as they came near the earth.
Donaldson and Ford did SO, from
hight OF 80 feet, but Lunt, who hesitat-
d, was carried off. clinging to the an

Defective sight, and even total blind

through the eye-ball and temple, when in
ELIMINATION, chronic or acute, sets in

appearance, when the sight is blurred or
objects can no longer be seen distinctly
when haze comes over the eyes when
tears constantly overflow, or have to be
pressed from the corner of the eye, in a
materate condition to relieve that organ
when any of the above symptoms make
their appearance, then do not delay TO
seek competent medical advice. Do not
doctor your own eyes, nor allow any ply
stefan TO do so unless he be a well quail
fed oculist, for an eye once lost can new
er be regained.
