A WELCOME TO TIE EDITORS.

Good masters of the kiDgiy art

True sovereigns in the realm of heart;
We greet you with an open palm,
The tables grosn with festive cheer

OF welcome to your willing ear.
IT'S not upon reluctant hinge
Our doors swing back at your approach
Warm welcome never can infringe
Upon true friendships kind encroach.
Sweet June hangs all her banners out,
And decks herself with summer flowers
With vernal beauty all about,
She scatters joy through all the hours.
The lake lifts toward the azure sky
The restless waves with crest Of white
And DER it's bosom south winds sigh,
Of NATURES calm and pure delight.

And pennants stream from every ship,
Your greeting rolls from human tongue,
And thunders forth from lannon's lip.
Ye stand upon life's picket-line,
Aud guard the camp while Other sleep;
Tghe mission is indeed divine,
II faithful to the truth ye keep.
Serve We the state through bad report,
When all the rabble jeer and lie;
And walk erect with manly port,
Bearing the stings that cruelty. 1870 +
The immortal allies of the Right,
Shrink not ahashed at errors glance
But send challenge for the fight,
And wave their enslgns In advance.
All parties need higher tone
TO loitier heights the bugles call
The nations reap what they have sown.
Gods eel tain laws are over all.
If We who guide the public Press,
Cease to rebuke the country'S wrong;

Her scourge will be scorpion thong.
Let no man crack about your ears
The party ash-that hateful thing
Defy those naughty overseers, n
And scOrn the dictum of the ring.

God heeds the tender sparrow's fall
His angels cherish well the name
OF him who comes at dIty's call.
IT'S yours to stand by freedoms choice,
And strive forever for the right;
Give justice sturdy help and voice,
And make all tyrants own your might.
Purge out the acid from your Ink,
By force of loves kind chemistry F.;
Before you injure pause and think
How sweet The voice OF charity.
Sometimes IN party's fierce debate
We seize the smudSe of vulgar schools;
But with higher correlate,
We feel the sway of reasons rules.
And there be those whose will would feign
Rivet the Press with bands of steel;
AS fair Zenobia bore the chain,
That bound her to the tyrant's wheel.
We need m0re conscience in our laws
We need less state-crsft OF the kind
That seeks the rabble's loud applause,
And is to honor wholly blind.
The months fit by, the years fly FAST
The scythe of Time is keen OF edge
Reunions cannot always last,
Nor re redeem hopes Turing pledge.
Dear Nature auspicates this day
With genial skies and leafy wood;
Be ours the task to lead the way
II loves sweet arts of brotherhood.

New Theory About Comets.

At recent meeting of the Lawrence,
Kansas, Academy of Science, a paper
entitled Speculations on the Nature
of Comets Tails" was read by Pro. f.
w. Bardwell, who took the ground that
a comets tail is no more part OF the
comet than is a shadow part of the OBJ
il ct which gives it form. He supposes
that the resisting medium surrounding
the sun for a great distance is itself "a
minous in degree, as indicated by the
zodical light; that the nucleus OF com
ct is merely large meteorite that IN
it's rapid motion through the resisting
medium near the sun, great heat IS
thereby developed, increased by the
heat of the sun, causing some OF the
elements of the nucleus to become vol
atilized, and thus to prevent the phen-
omena of the coma with its glowing
gas and finally, that the bright tram
called the tail is merely an effect OF an
| increased luminosity of the portion OF
the resisting medium behind the comet,
| cansed by the action of the sunlight
| and passing through the glo 5lng gas OF
the coma, and projected beyond in 6
form usually approaching that of a con
icaI surface. He predicts that, on the
| appearance of a comet with a bright
train, the tests of spectrum analysis VII
show that this train is not nebuluous
as Bessel and Others have supposed
and not of a meteoric character hht
that of the nucleus, as Schiapareiil ahC
LIE Verrier suppose, but chiefly OF 70
diacal nature, and probably, IN sll8h
degre =, rejecting sunlight.

Under their feet the grasses grow,
In the sweet season Of Springtide weather
Under the trellis, to and fro,
Whispering close, go two together.
Trenulous, misty, long and low,
The meadows loom through the sunset glow,
IN the hot prime of the Summer weather.

Silently pacing, 60 two together.
Over the yellowing poplar row
The harvest moon comes large and slow
The wandering ghost Of the Autumn weather
Under the trellis, to and fro,
Hand in hand, go two together.
Thick is the air with the threatening snow
Chill winds wearily come and gos
Telling the tale of the Winter weather.
Little of season or scene they know,

Sultry August or Winter snow
For lovers it always is Summer weather.

marriage. Meanwhile Arthur had re-

Joined her father, and sat down to tell
his adventures and, as might be sup

story of the returned crusader gave
way to anxiety about the girl.
They sought her, but without sue

agined. But he had been through
school in which he had learned to dis
place vain regrets by swift action. He
promptly called together a band of
mounted retainers, and away they sped

they went and as they approached the
church they could see that, late as was
the hour, ther, was light inside:
Hastily dismounting, Arthur rushed
past the English soldiers who guarded
the porch, and bursting into the church,
he saw Euronwy at the point of being
forcibly married to the English knight,
who stood by her side. Both men at
once saw what was before them. At the
some instant they drew sword. Then
began deadly duel at the very altar.
At last Arthur, with one mighty stroke,
cleft his rival Through the helmet and
skull, and Alfred fell dead on the floor.
Euronwy's father, who had arrived by
this time, ordered the priest to proceed
with the service. Thus weirdly were
Arthur aud Euronwy reunited forever
after their long separation, while he

his love lay dead at his feet.
