What is the sun.

Professor Rudolph, in lengthy paper
on the sun, says:
a molten or white hot mass, $4,000
miles in diameter, equaling the bulk of
100000 worlds like our own, having a
surrounding ocean of gas on fire, $4,000
miles deep, tongues of flame darling up
ward more than $4,000 miles, volcanic
forces that hurl into the solar atmosphere
luminous matter to the height Of 100000
miles; drawing to itself all the worlds
belonging to our family Of planets, and
holding them all in their proper places;
attracting with such superior force the
millions Of solid and stray masses that are
wandering in the fathomless abyss that
they rush hclplessly toward HIM, and fall
into his fiery embrace. And thus he con-
tinues his sublime and restless march
through his mighty orbit, having Pc

What Became of some Good Little Boys.

The man lives in Philadelphia, who, when
Young and poor. entered a bank and says he:
q Please. sir, don't you want a little boy
- No, little boy l don't want q little boy.
The little boy whose heart was too iuI Tor utter,
ance. chewing a piece Of liquorice stick he had
bought with a cent he bad stolen from his good
and pious aunt, with sobs plainly audible, and
with great glOhules Ot water running down his
cheeks, glided silently down the marble steps OF
the bank. Bending ms noble form the bank man
lodged behind the door, for he thought the little
boy was going 10 shy a stone At him. But the
boy picked up something and stuck it in his poor
but ragged jacket Come here, little boy
and the little boy did come here and the bank
man said, Lo! what pickest thou up?" And
he answered and SAID, " \ pin And the bank
man said, - How do you vote-exeuse me, DO you
go to Sunday-schooI2 And he said he did.
Then the bank man took down a pen made of
pure gold, and flowing pure ink, and wrote on a
piece of paper, . St. Peter, - and asked the little
boy what it stood for, and he said, 'Sault Peter
then the bank man said it meant " Saint Peter
the little boy to his bosom, and the little boy said
- Q :" again, for he squeezed him.
Then the bank man took the little boy into
partnership, and gave him half the profits and all
the capital, and he married the bank mans
daughter, and all he has is all his, and all his
Own, too.
STORY OF ANOTHER LITTLE BOY.
My uncle told me this story, and | spent six
weeks picking up pins in front of g bank. l ex-
pected the bank man would call me in and say,
. Little boy, are you good?' and l was going TO
say, - Yes - and when be asked me what " st.
John" stood for, I was going to say Sault
john"
But 1 guess the bank man wasn't anxious to
have a partner, and guess the daughter was a
son, for one day says he to me, Little boy,
what's that you're picking up?" Says l, awful
meekly, Pins" Says he, Lets see EN-"
And be took 'em, and l took off my cap, all
ready to go in the bank, and become a partner
and marry his daughter. But l didn't get an in
~vitation. He said, Those pins belong to the
bank, and if l catch you hanging around here
any more III set the dogs on you = Then l left,
and the mean old cuss kept the pins. Such Is
life as / find it.-Mark TicGiR.

Knocked About in the World.

1t is a good thing for a young man to be
g knocked about in the world" though his soft
hearted parents may not think SO. All youths,
or if not all, certainly ineteen-twentieths of the
sum total, enter life with a surplusage of self
conceit. If, in measuring themselves with wiser
and older men than they are, they discover that
it is unwarranted, and get rid Of it gracefully, of
their own accord, well and good if not, it is
desirable, for their own sakes, that it be knocked
out of them.
4 boy who is sent to q large school soon finds
his level. His will may have been paramount at
home but school boys are democratic in their
ideas, and, if arrogant, are sure to be thrashed
into a recognition of the golden rule. The world
is a great public school, and it soon teaches a new
pupil his proper place. If be has the attributes
that belong to a leader, he will be installed in
the position of a leader if not, whatever his
own opinion of his abilities may be, he will be
compelled to fall in with the rank and file. If
not destined to greatness, the next best thing to
which he can aspire is respectability hut no
man can either be truly great or respectable, who
is vain, pompous, and overbearing.
By the time the novice had found legitimate
social position, be the same high or low, the pro-
liability is that the disagreeable traits of his
character will be softened down or worn away.
Most likely the process of abrasion will be rough,
perhaps very rough but when it is all over, and
he begins to see himself as others see him, and
not reflected in the mirror of self-conceit, he will
be thankful that he has run the gauntlet, and
arrived, though by O rough road, at self-knowl-
edge. Upon the whole, whatever loving mothers
may think to the contrary, it is a good thing for
youths to be knocked about in the world-it
makes men of them.

A Church Incident.

\ religious paper published in New Orleans,
the Southeastern Presbyterian, says: Several
years ago, a devoted minister was conducting a
prayer-meeting in a quiet and pleasant town in
Mississippi. The leader of the meeting chose as
the subject of his remarks a portion of the fifth
chapter Of Matthew. As he proceeded to the
twenty-thIrd and twenty-fourth verses OF that
chapter, his heart caught the spirit Of the Mas
ter's words and was enlarged with the Importance
of the direction contained in them. As he looked
over the audience his eye caught the presence of
two Christian ladies, who were well known to be
on terms with each other not altogether friendly.
The minister himself knew that their grievances
were such as not to allow them to speak to one
another. Feeling the force of the Scripture on
which be was speaking in its direct application
to them, and not wishing to seem personal in his
remarks, the minister turned his eye away from
them, and appeared to ignore their presence. As
he proceeded, in order to turn attention away
from the two sisters in question, he selected a
good Christian lady, sitting in the nearest pew i'm
mediately on his left hand, and apparently di-
rected his address to her. His eye rested on her
because he supposed, in the goodness OF her heart,
not an unkind feeling could ever be INDUCED to-
ward any one, and toward whom an unfriendly
feeling could not possibly be cherished by another.
In this way the minister supposed he would pre-
vent the appearance of being personal. But who
can imagine the surprise of both speaker and au-
dience, when this lady, thus directly addressed,
arose to her feet under the power and influence of
the truth, and in the presence of the audience
walked quietly to the opposite side of the house
and cordially embraced Il lady to whom she was
not before willing to speak, and with tears OF emo
ton besought her pardon and reconciliation. The
effect thus produced was so melting in its influence
on the hearts of the other two sisters that they
could no longer retain their seats, but both sim
ultaneously arose and likewise, in the presence of
the audience embraced each other"

New Base Ball RuIes.

The Boston Herald says The professional con-
gress will meet in Philadelphia March ] and the
Boston club will be represented by Mr.. Porter,
President, and Harry Wright, Captain of the
champions. The Judiciary Committee, of which
Mr.. Porter is a member, will meet on Saturday.
At the congress the rules of the game will be r-
Ideally amended, and many changes have already
been informally agree upon by representatives of
the different clubs. In the rules for the govern
ment of the game during the season of 1875, it
Is proposed to allow over-running of the second
and third bases, as is the case at present on first
base. Wide balls only will be called on the
pitcher, and he will be allowed to two successive
unfair balls, the third in succession TO be called
u wide" This will prevent Matthews and
others from pitching the first ball over the heads
of strikers instead of at the bat. Foul bounds
will not be allowed to count against the striker,
and all balls must be caught ere touching the
ground in order to put the striker out. \ ball
caught on a foul fly will remain in play that Is,
it can be folded by any player without being
first thrown to the pitcher, as provided for at
present. Under the rules of 1874, if a player
attempt to run the bases when a foul is called,
and the ball is felded SO as to reach the base from
which he started before be can return to it he is
declared out. 1t is proposed to amend this rule
50 as to allow the base-runner to return. The
reason for this change is obvious. For instance,
in a close game, when spectators are worked up
to a point when their vocal organs are used TO
urged the players, the cry of foul by the UNI
pire is frequently unheard, and the player some
times reaches third base from the first before be
is aware of the decision. Of course he is felded
out in this case, though not by any good play of
the opposing nine. Again. if the umpire should
be prejudiced, he now has the right to delay his
decision until the base-runner has almost reached
second base, and the man is put out because of
the umpire's fault in not calling the ball prompt
". Fair fouls will be made more difficult to
strike by moving the strikers position back, and
if a general desire is manifested a new rule will
be framed fixing the lines of fair fouls so that it
will be almost impossible to strike one. The
maximum number of games for a series (ten)
will remain the anne as at present, but the mini
mum number for a series to count will be in
creased to seven or eight. The responsibility of
umpires will be limited, so that hereafter deci-
sions will be more impartial than at present.
Several other changes are proposed, but the
above are the most radical.
