THE GIANT PLANET JUPITER.

Jupiter was at his brightest on the
night of June 19, when he was exactly
opposite the sun, and came to the south
at midnight.
Jupiter is the fifth of the great plan.
cts in order Of distance from the sun
our earth being the third. Mercury is
the first, travelling nearest the sun. We
nus is the second, and travels inside the
earth's path. Next outside the earth's
path is that of Mars. Outside his track
there come the paths of a number of
very small planets travelling in ring
around the sun. More than 10 of these
have already been discovered but all
these together (besides hundreds more of
the family not yet discovered) do not
weigh SO much as the tenth of our earth.
Outside this family of many congregated
planets, all together scarcely enough to
make respectable planet, comes Jupiter,
outweighing not only these,-not only
these with our earth, Mars, Venus, and
Mercury thrown in,-but all the other
planets taken together, no less than two
and half times.
Jupiter exceeds our earth 800 times
in mass or quantity of matter. But
enormous though this excess of mass
may seem, it is small compared with his
excess of size; for he exceeds the earth
1928 times in volume. 1t is only be-
cause he travels SO much farther away
than either Venus or Mars, that he ap-
pears less bright than Venus, and not
many times brighter than Mars. For
these two planets are utterly insignif-
can't compared with him, both in size
and mass. But he travels more than
five times farther from the sun than the
earth goes. SO that even at his nearest
and brightest, his distance from us ex-
ceeds four times our distance from the
sun; whereas, when Mars is at his near
est, his distance from US is not much
more than one-third of our distance
from the sun.-Prof. e. a. Proctor, ST.
Nicholas for July.

ROSE DANIELS.
By MARIAN DOUGLAS.

From out the door Rose Daniels came
The grass was crisp beneath her tread,
And, where had glowed the naples flame.
A few sere leaves shook overhead;
The naked grape vines. snake.like, hung
From the low roof to which they clung.
And one tall malow's blackened stalk
Lay half across the narrow walk.
Her hand upon the gate she stayed,
Glancing all around like one afraid.
Thon turned her weary eyes and took
or her old homo long, last look
At the low doorway, and the dead
Vine network on the roof above;
aIIere is the end Of love-" she said;
THE end OF Lowell"
Ten years before Qt almost seemed
That rosy time Of hope and pride
Was something she had slept and dreamed)
She passed that gate happy bridel
IT was May-time then; the lilac flowers
The south wind shed in purple showers,
And. by the pathway. gemmed with dew.
The border pinks were budding new;
Above, the robin caroled loud;
A flower with honey-burdened breast
That droops by its own sweetness bowed,
Her heart grew faint with joy opprest;
mo more" she cried. II ask Of bliss,
No more crave Of heaven above;
All blessedness seems mine in this
Rich gift Of lovel"
Ten years what changes they had brought
Now, gazing on that cottage door,
Her saddened lfe's most cheering thought
Was, II need cross IL never morei"
For dark with sorrow, wrong and sin,
Her memories Of the rooms within;
There harsh reproaches cruel sneeTs.
Had mocked her unavaing tears
Low taunts had flushed her cheek with shame,
Or stung her till her wrath grew bold,
Till her heart loves pickering flame
At last had died and left 1t cold.
"And whom" she questioned. "can l trust?
None seem my haunting doubts above;
I've proved Hope false, and found, in dust,
The end Of love-"
With trembling hand she shut the gate,
Drew close her faded shawl and fast
Like one who is afraid to watt
Down the long hillside way she passed;
But when the short turn OF the road
The white stones Of the graveyard showed,
A sudden light shone DER her face,
so quiet seemed that resting place;
For meath its frozen grasses slept,
In dreamless peace the little child
Above whose cradle she had wept,
And DER whose coffin she had smiled;
For. "God bo thanked" she whispered low,
"My precious one is safe above;
II never will DO hers to In"
The end Of iUveI" -AtIdntic Monthly.

A ROMANTIC AND THRILLING
RECOGNITION.

About ten years ago two brothers left
their home in Illinois and went to Cali
fornia. The elder was man of the
most steady habits, and had received
good business education, but the younger
was inclined to be dissipated, and, in
deed, had figured in SO many scrapes at
home that his departure was not regret
ted in his native village. The two
brothers lived for short time in San
Francisco, while they looked for situa-
tions. The younger brother, however,
fell into bad company, and they sepa-
rated by mutual consent. The elder
brother obtained situation in a whole
sale store as porter, and by his dill
gence and steadiness so worked himself
into the confidence of his employers
that he rose from the position of porter
to that Of partner in the firm. He late
ly purchased house in Bush street,
married a lady with considerable fortune
of her own, and on last Christmas Eve,
he saw three beautiful children around
him, enjoying the delights of Christ
mas tree. The family retired at mid
night, but the gentleman had hardly
closed his eyes, when he was awakened
by a noise down stairs, and moving
stealthity to the parlor with revolver
in his hand. he saw man endeavoring
to open the buffet where he kept his sill
yer. Levelling his revolver at the
thief's head, he exclaimed, "stop or you
are dead man. The jimmy dropped
from the hands of the burglar, who fall
ing on his knees, cried out. GAS God is
my judge, Robert, [ did not know you
lived here!" The gentleman then dis
covered to his horror that the burglar
whom he was about to shoot was the
the younger brother whom he had not
met for nearly ten years. That night
the burglar slept peacefully under the
roof of his forgiving brother, who as
sured friend with tears in his eyes,
that he was about to give him employ
ment in his own store, and that he had
never spent happier Christmas.-tSan

THE DESERTED HOUSE.
A SONNET, by W. II.

A u
There by the roadside stands the queer old house,
Deserted 1t has been for many years;
And when one enters first one has strange fears
OF what may be inside. But not mouse
Raises its tiny head, or hides afraid;
And the soul sound through the deep stiffness heard,
Is the shrIll chirping Of the mother-bird.
Who right above the door her nest has made.
While through bare, lonely rooms my way wend,
l feel kind Of pity for the thing.
Left thus alone, like to some fallen king,
Deserted both by enemy and friend.
But life is short; so gently close the gate.
And leave the house to mercy and to fate.

TEMPERANCE vAGABONDS.

The Methodist, under the caption of
Temperance Vagabonds,'' reminds its
readers that there are two classes of
speakers.
The one class is made up of noble,
conscientious men and women. They
feel the curse of drunkenness which
rests upon the land; they have prayed
for strength to work against it; and
now, in the spirit Of conversation, they
speak boldly in earnest. They are deep
ly in earnest. They have christians
characters, and they are willing to work
in secret as well as in public. They are
far more anxious for the public good
than for their own glory. May God
bless all such and increase their number
from day to day.
But there is another class of temper
ance takers, who excite our profound
est contempt. They are men and women
we believe few in number-Whose
tongues are longer than their consciences
and a thousand fold more active. They
can neither preach nor keep quiet, but
they can talk on temperance. Their
stock in trade is scrap-boOk of anec-
dotes, mainly of the comic order. They
scour the country, and worry the minis
ters to open the churches for them. Such
people are not responsibly connected
with any temperance organization. They
ask no fee-very wisely, for they are
not worthy of it-but they always take
up for their benefit collection. Above
all things they are anxious for letters of
recommendation. which they sorely need.
Ministers of country churches, suffer
one of your number to utter word of
exhortation. Beware of strolling self
appointed temperance orators. Some of
them are well meaning men, and some
are humbugs. When the "Great tenn
perance War Horse" comes, find out
who he is, and what society and church
he represents. Do not be imposed upon
by written recommendations, no matter
whose name appears on them. If a tenn
perance speaker is acceptable. he can
find plenty of work near at hand.
A Meager home may be made beauti-
full by the ingenuity of tasteful woman.
There is usually nc better excuse for a
barren home than ignorance or careless
ness. A little mechanical skill can
make brackets and shelves for the walls.
A thoughtful walk in the woods can
gather leaves and lichens and ferns for
adorning the unpictured rooms. A trife
saved from daily expenses can now and
again put new book upon the table OF
shelf. The expenditure of a few shill'
ings can convert the plain window into
a conservatory. In these and fifty other
ways can plain bare room be converted
into scene of beauty.

A pious hen crawled into Methodist
church in Jefferson City, Mo-, the other
Sunday, and laid an egg in the contri-
button box. While the minister was
making an earnest appeal for the cause
of missions. the hen suddenly left her nest
and cackled most energetically. The
deacons discovered the egg when they
went forward to get the contribution
boxes, and the "sense" of the meeting
seemed to indicate that the pious hens
donation was better adapted to the do
mestic rather than the foreign field.

They placed a Spite in the orifice and
drew the liquor into barrel on the

some of the mill men. They wear
what are called corked boots, the
heads of the nails, with which the
botlo of their boots are full, pro-
truding about half an inch. The

the hole through the side Of the
