The World is What We Make IT..

I've seen some people in this lie
Who always are roplning,
Who never, never yet could see
The stormcloud's silver lining.
There always something 10 amiss,
From sunrise TO It's setting;
That Gods hand made then map Of life,
They seem the while forgetting.
And have seen 4 blessed sight
To sin.beclouded vision.
Some people who, where'er they be,
Make earth seem an Elysian.
They always see the brightest side
The direfOl shadows never
And keep the flower Of hope in bloom
Within their hearts forever.
The one can make the sunnIest day
Seem wondrous sad and dreary;
The other smiles the clouds away,
And makes \ daik day CHEEKY.
This life OF ours j., after all,
About as We shall make IT,
II we can Danish grief and care,
Lets haste TO undertake it.

A Visit From Saturn.

The planet Saturn has come to see US.
II rises nightly with the full moon in the
eastern heavens and passed into opposition
with the sun on Sunday evening. The
earth is now between the sun and the great
planet, and 1872 100000 miles nearer the
latter than when II Is on the other side
from us, for It's distance then IL a little
more than a thousand millions of miles.
His comparative neighborliness makes
him and his rings more golden bright than
they are at other times, even 10 the unaided
eye, and through Il telescope gives oppOr-
tunty for closer inspection. The mystery
of his luminous rings Is thing quite un-
solved, though astronomers have not
spared their speculations. There are three
bells OF light; the two outer oncs--one 81
600, the other "a 600 miles wide, separated
by II gap Of / 800 miles, mere thread In
the tremendous diameter of the greater
circle Q76, 600 miles; the third q mere
misty shadow through which the planets
substance Is plainly seen, though 10000
miles away. Some think these rings are
envelopes Of gaseous fluid, and Prof.
Pierce, of Harvard, has reasoned out the
conditions under which such ring of
fluid might be supported by the bright
satellites of Saturn which rey0ve around
them. Others, again, advance the theory
that these rings are simply continuous
