These roses have watched with so much care,
Have watched and Ten led without pain or fear,
Shall bad and bloom for me exceeding fair
Another year," che sail, a another year.
Another year" she said, another year,
Ny life perhaps may bud and bloom again,
May bloom and bud like these red roses here,
Unlike them, tended with regret and pain
Another year pe.haps, another year.
" Another year, all yes, another year,
When bloom my roses, all my life shall bloom;
When Summer o1mes, my Summer too Il be here.
And 1 shall ease 10 wander in this gloom
Another year. All yes, another year.
" For ali, another year, another year,

And prune the weeds away that creep too near,
And watch and tend with never-ceasiIg toll
Another year, ah yes, another year"
Another year, alas another year,
The roses al lay whitening ere their prime,
Poor blighted buds, with scanty leaves and sere,
Dropping and dying long before their time
Another year, alas another year.
And All another year, another year,
Low, like the blighted dying buds, she lay;
Whose voice had prophesiei without fear,
Whose hand had trimmed the rose-tree day by day
To bloom another year, another year.

If the people allow themselves to be over-rid-

If they do, then all hope for the future may

The Moon of Mars.

The discovery of satellite to Mars Is au-
nounced from the naval observatory at Wash
ington. 1t was made by Prof. Asaph Hall
who succeeded Prof. Newcomb in charge of
the great telescope two years ago, and who
thus gives to America the distinction of one of
the three principal telescope discoveries of this
century-the others being that of the FIRST
asteroid by Olbers, in 1901, which confirmed
the previous calculations of belt of small
planets having their orbits between those Of
Mars and Jupiter, and that of Neptune in 1876.
according to the predictions of Adams and
Leverrier. The satellite was first observed on
Thursday night, but Prof. Hall withheld any
publication of the fact until repeated scrutiny
had rendered it unmistakabe. Prof Eewcomb
on Friday calculated roughly the time of the
revolution OF the object seen, If it were satel-
lite, and fixed it at one day and eight hours, or
little less. 1t was discovered the next night,
at a. M, according to this estimate, and now
with companion satellite Saturday evening
several OF the astronomers participated in the
observations, and rendered certain the exist
ence OF the first seen satellite, with a revolu-
ton of about 80 hours, diameter probably un-
der 100 miles, distance from the planet Mars
of between 14,000 and 5000 miles, which is
only about sixteenth the distance of the moon
from the earth; the second satellite is not vet
absolutely assured. The planet Mars has Deen
attracting much attention from observers here
and in Europe for some weeks on account of
its great brilliancy, which every one must no.

since 1845, and will not be so bright again for

the field of the telescope in order to see the
satellite, but at the same time it Illuminated
that tiny globe so that it could be seen.
The Portland daily press., 1877-08-23

A SPECIAL correspondent of the New York
Times has been engaged in investigating the
condition of the miners in the neighborhood
OF Scranton, Pa, and from careful observa-
ton and interviews with miners, priests and
representative men he is led to the conclu-
sion that the mining population are oppressed,
ground down, disregarded, or, if regarded at
all, that they are treated with less considera-
tion than a careful man would give to his
horses and cattle. Although the men de-
clare dsconsolately that death would be bet
ter than this battle for life In which they are
constantly worsted, death is too expensive, a
funeral too costly heritage for the living,
and SO they struggle on to keep body and
soul together as matter of economy. The
families average six persons each, and they
have maintained life on an average OF 81 per
month to each family for nine months past.
They pray for work at living wages, and are
willing to work even seven days in the week
to earn them. The correspondent says own
ers and directors are growing richer year by
year, while there seems no limit to reduction
OF wages of the miners, who "have been
lost sight of, used as parts of machine
which must be run to make money, no mat
ter how many hearts bleed, how much hope
is crushed, or how much endeavor is baked
and discouraged" If the statements of the
Times correspondent are truthful, no one will
wonder at tumult. disorder, or even Molly
Maguirism.
