THE REUNION.
By JOSIAH SINCLAIR OF WHEELING.

The guns are now hushed that at evening
Sent their thunder DER valley and hill,
The lights in the forest are waning,
And the camp grows pulseless and still.
The soldiers-once foemen- ARE tenting
In the camp Of Re union to night;
No vigils, no outpDsts a.e telling,
The coming Of strife with the light.
The gunner sleeps far from the cannon,
That he stood by on fields of the past ;
The trooper no call shall awaken,
To mount at the bugle's shrill blast.
The footman, unweary from marching,
Shall not hear the long roll tonight; !;
No infantry lines will be forming,
To give the battle theft might,
Tonight they are tenting together,
The foemah of many field;
The men who were foremost in valor,
To peace are the foremost to yield.
The spell of the conflict is over
And the sound of the battle has fled
The fallen we cannot recover,
But we'll cherish the names of our dead
The morning of peace is fast dawning
And the clouds and mists break away
A form TITS the Goddess that's standing
At the door of the approaching day
One hand she is pointing to Heaven,
And one to the fields where they died
To the graves that the Southmen wer,
given,
And the Northmen's graves at thei
side.
As a widow returns to the bridal,
The South in ber beauty comes forth
With sword loosely hung at her girdle

The Immensity of Spa ce.

In a recent lecture delivered in
Edinburg on "The Stars" Prof.
Grant gave graphic idea of the i'm
mensity of space. He said that
railway train running at the rate of
fifty miles an hour would reach the
moon in six months, and the sun in
two hundred years, and Alpha Cen
tauri, the nearest of the fixed stars, in
forty-two million of years. A ball
from a gun, travelling at the rate of
nine hundred miles an hour, would
reach Alpha Centauri in 2,7O0,000
years; while light, travelling as it
does at the rate of $4,000 miles in a
second, would not teach it in three
years. Light from some of the tele-
scopic stars would take $3.50 years to
reach the earth, and from some of the
clusters the distance is so great that
light would take half million of
years to pass to the earth, So that we
saw objects not as they really were,
but as they were half a million years
ago. These stars might have become
extinct thousands of years ago, and
yet their light might present itself to
us. AS to the magnitude of the stars
he noticed that it was computed that
Alpha Lyra was one hundred billions
of miles distant from the earth, and
its magnitude and splendor were as
twenty t. one when compared with
our sun. Similar Investigations
brought out the fact that the sun was
neither vastly greater nor vastly less
than the great majority of the stars.

A Minneapolis paper tells it thus {;
A tree fell on Jonas Nelson, lum-
herman of the Upper Mississippi,
and killed him. He was packed in
ice and sent home, arriving after a
weeks journeying, when he arose and
dressed himself. This is considered
evidence Of wonderful vitality up in
Minnesota.
