WHO is there who, at autumn, does
not feel his mind impressed with senti-
ment of melancholy? Or who is able to
resist that current of thought. which,
from such appearances of decay, so
naturally leads him to the solemn i'm
agination of that inevitable fate which
is to bring on alike the decay of life, or
empire, and of nature itself.-Sir a.

The DdsUn Of Galile0's Troubles.
[POpular Sciec ce Monthly

Popular Sciecce Monthly
Galileo, who was a man of rare good
sense, and perfectly conversant with the
ways of the world had in advance formed
the best and most powerful relations
Besides, he came there in sort of official
capacity, at the Grand Dukes charges,
and he was entertained there by the Tus-
can ambassador. Prelates. Cardinals,
Princes, Wed with one another for the
honor of offering fetes and banquets to
the most illustrious representatives OF
Italian science.
At the palace of Cardinal Bandini, in
the beautiful gardens of the Quirinal, in
the villa of the Marquis Cesi. On the
summit of the Janiculan, Galileo de-
lighted society of elite by having them
contemplate, during the serene nights OF
April, the vault of heaven through the
telescope which hehad recently invented,
and which tears his name.
he awakened a genuine enthusiasm
one day when, after dinner, he pointed
his telescope toward st. John of Lateran,
three miles distant, and enabled the
guests to read the inscription upon the
facade of that basilica.
His arguments did not equally con-
vince all of those who were present at
his astronomical observations, and who
listened to the explanation he gave OF
the movement of Jupiter's four satellites,
the inequalities of the moons surface,
and the phases of Venus and Saturn, and
to the discussions he carried on with those
who opposed his views.
His doctrine implied the confirmation
of the system of Copernicus and the
demonstration of the earth's motion,
which were no longer reserved for math.
ematicians only, but made Ineligible to
all by series of experiments. Here was
an innovation calculated to alarm the
theologians. A system that might be re.
garded as inoffensive so long as it was
only mathematical hypothesis, useful
to men of science in their researches, be-
came a very different thing on being
transformed into physical truth acces
sible to the senses and pregnant with
consequences touching the plurality O.
worlds and the aim of creation. Hence
the apparent triumph of Galileo hio
from view perils the magnitude of which
at first eluded his penetrating mind
While ne was giving himself up, with
perhaps over-much confidence, to the
pleasure of success, and was yielding tot
easily to his habitual temptation to an
swer objections with sarcasm, the ecclesi
astical authority quietly set on foot al
inquiry into the orthodoxy of his opin
ions.
