Age of fhe Earth.

Sir w. Thompson has concluded,
from different lines of argument,
that the age of the earth, as a body
cool enough for habitation, cannot
be greater than 100,000.000 years.
Prof. TAFT, however, in his work on
"The Recent Advance in Physical
Science" comes to a somewhat diff
ferent conclusion, and puts the
limit Of the worlds age at 10000
600 years. When doctors disagree,
who shall decide? AS for other
worlds than ours, some of them
are said to be so far away that the
light has not yet reached our
planet. A writer in the Quarterly
Review says that "the telescope
has rendered visible stars so
amazingly remote that light leaping
over $4,000 miles in a single Sec
ond would take 100000 years TO
travel from them to the earth"
Astrologers and geologists have
a way of tossing millions Of years
about as if they were mere grains
Of sand of time. 1t makes the
few score allotted to man appear
amazingly Insignificant.

A Japanese Legend.

The Japanese have a curious le-
gend Of stone cutter, who became
discontented with his lot in life.
He first expressed the very CON-
mon wish: "Ol that | were rich r
This being granted, he next wished
to become king, so that he might
have power. In this station he
still found a source of discomfort,
so, after many changes, he wished
to become a rock, which even the
floods could not move. This being
granted, he for a time, enjoyed his
newly acquired power, for neither
the burning sun, rushing wind nor

roaring food had power to move
him. But one day man with a
sharp chisel and heavy hammer
came along and began to cut stones
ont of the rock, and the rock said:
"What is this, that man has power
over me, and can cut stones ont of
my bosom I am weaker than he.
l should like to be that man - And
then came an angel out of heaven,
who said: "Be this as you have
said" and the rock became a stone
cutter, and he cut stones with hard
labor, for small wages, and was
conteuted.

Quite recently good old colored
man named Uncle Jim Hill set
himself up as phrenologist, and q
barber was his first subject. He
placed the barber on chair, felt
of his head for a long time, and
then remarked: civilian, you is
too sanguine. When you lend
money, You expect it back. You
is bilious. You want to be honest.
but you hasn't de necessary char
acter; you isn't hopeful you is
bowed down with grief most oh &c
time; you has an ear for music /;
you has de worst feet on Kentucky
street; you is de right sort Of o
man to wheel coal down hill for
big wages" William rose up,
pitched Uncle Jim over the stove
and under the bed, and split a
panel of the door as he went out.
The aged phrenologist went the
next evening to get advice from
the police, and, when advised to go
out of the trade, he replied, "seems
like | shall have to, for Is getting
too aged to be frown over cook
stoves"

A simpleton, having had oc-
casion to seat himself, sat down on
pin /; whereon he made an outcry
unto Jupiter. A philosopher, who
happened to be holding up q
hitching-post in the vicinity,
rebuked him, saying: 81 can tell
you how to avoid hurting yourself
by sitting down on pins, and will
if you will set them up" The
simpleton eagerly accepting the
offer, the philosopher swallowed
four fingers of the rum which
perisheth, and replied, "Never sit
down." He subsequently acquired
a vast fortune by advertising for
agents, to whom he guaranteed S77
a week for light and easy employ
ment at their homes.
Moral.-The wise man saith,
"There is nigger in the fence,' but
the fool sendeth on so Cents for

Days of Ny Youth.
Days of my youth, ye have glided away;
Hairs of my youth, ye are frosted and gray;
Eyes Of my youth, your keen sight is no more
Cheeks of my youth, ye are furrowed all DER;
Strength of my youth, all your vigor is gone;
Thoughts of my youth, your gay visions are
flown.
Days of my youth, wish not your recall
Hairs OF my youth, I'm content We should fall;
Eyes Of my youth, ye much evil have seen;
Cheeks Of my youth, bathed in tears have you
been;
Though sof my youth, ye have led me astray;
Strength of my youth, why lament your decay
Days of my age, ye will shortly be passed;
Pains of my age, yet awhile ye can last
Joys of my age, in true wisdom delight;
Ewes of my age, be religion your light;
Thoughts OF my age dread We not the cold sod
Hopes Of nay age, bc yo fixed on your God.
