THE MOoN.-What does our naked eye
tell us about the moon9 1t shows us the
broad, bluff, hearty, good humored faces,
somewhat frecllled, indeed, and dapped,
but none the less handsome for that, but
whether it is made of German silver, OF
of silver, bronze, or of cheese, not quite
green, 1t does not tell us, or anything about
the man in the moon, or even about the
woman. But the telescope comes to our
aid, and being pointed to the sky transfers
us to within a very few miles of its sur
face, to all ntents and purposes, and we
are able to make up map of the moon, in
some respects better than any map that
has ever been made of the earth; and we
behold an earth-like body tossed up into a
tremendous Switzerland and filled with
gorges, ravines and walled plains; with
mountains which would be on the earth
twenty miles high, with craters, which on
earth would be four hundred and fifty
miles across, without apparent water, with
out apparent atmosphere, always present
inc the same field to our view, rotating
upon its axis once in twenty-seven days
changing its distance from us in the eye Of
the telescope, showing that it goes rount
the earth in IN eliptical and not in circu
lar orbit.

| remember Harriet Martineau tells
how, when she had grown to be quite a
oirl. a little one was born into her home ;
and she would look and ponder, not know
inc what was to become of it, she got a
GREAT terror into her little heart that the
babe would never speak or walk, or do
ANYTHING that she could do, because, she
said. how can it, seeing that it is so entire
" helpless now? But she found, when
the right time came, that the feet found
their footing and the tongue its speech,
and everything came along in its own
right time; and then, instead OF the babe
she had a noble and beautiful brother, who
was able to take her part and teach things
to her, who had taught him. So the babe
became in illustration when it came 70
manhood, of n very common latent lear IN
the hearts, not OF sisters so much as oi
fathers and mothers, that the life that mas
come to them, and is their life over again,
will not scramble or grow or wrestle into
lis own place, as theirs has DONE. lhey
have no adequate belief in the hidden
manhood and womanhood that is folded
away within the small, frail nature, and
that the man will walk among men ano
will talk with men as man and so tneS
often spend the better part Of their tlmt
in irving to order afresh what our WISE
mother Nature has ordered already -

PLEASANT BEDROOMS. There is moth
ing more indicative of refinement and q
genuine culture in family than bright.
cheerful and tastefully decorated bed
chambers. Tasteful decorations do not
necessarily mean expense, and it is posi-
bic to make chamber look very pretty at
very small outlay. Indeed, in many in
stances, no outlay at all would be required
beyond what would be incurred under any
circumstances. The women Of n family,
especially, are apt to pass IL good portion
of their time in their bedchambers, and in
some households The sleeping apartments
are used alike for sewing-rooms, sitting
rooms and nurseries 1t is worth while to
obtain all the innocent pleasure we can in
this life, and there can be no doubt that
life is pleasanter if most of its hours are
passed in cheerful looking apartments,

"Is THIS SEAT OCCUPIED?'-An old,
but vigorous looking gentleman, seeming
ly from the rural districts got into car
and walked its full length without receiving
an invitation to sit down. Approaching
one gentleman who had II whole bench to
himself he asked {" Is this seat occupied?'
" Yes, sir, it is,' impertinently replied the
other. WelI,' replied the broadshoul-
dercd agriculturist, Il will keep this seat
until the gentleman comes" The original
proprietor Withdrew himself haughtlIy to
one end and looked insulteh. Aflera while
the train got in motion. and still nobody
came to claim the seat, whereupon the
deep chestcd agriculturist turned and said;
Sir when you told me that seat was
occupied you lold me IL lie, such was his
plain language" never sit neara liar if
can avoid it; would rather stand up"
Then appealing to another party he aid ;
Sir, may sit next TO yon? You don't
look like liar We need hardly say that
he got his seat, and that the original pro-
prietor thought that there was something
wrong about our social system. - Baltimore

do you do hereP' asked the general, in q
soltened voice. turning to Matthew, who
was trembling from head to foot.
"' am Matthew Weatherhands, sir
from Massachusetts, said our Yankee boy
not forgetting in his excitement to take of
his hat and make a polite bow. ! came
with my mother to visit my uncle Barker
who lives at the Donge Creek mill, and
am here at the barn that | might see the
father of my country
- Thank you, my boy, said the gen
eral, kindly, | am always proud anC
happy to see my Massachusetts friends
You must come and call at Mount Vernon
tomorrow afternoon. shall be at home
ut two O clock, and lifting his hat, thu
general rode away, followed by the whole
| party.
The old parson used to say that the
chase around the sixteen-sided brick barn
when he thought General Washington
mounted on his white charger, was behind
him, was a terrible experience. 1t had its
abundant compensation, however, for he
went to Mount Vernon Mt the time ap
pointed, where the general received hir
very cordially, asked him II great many
questions about his studies and what ht
read, and inquired kindly and particularly
about his family.
Upon learning that Matthew's fathel
had died from the effects of Il wound re
ceived in the Revolutionary war, Washing
ton manifested new interest in the boy
asked 10 see his mother when next HI
went to mill, and befriended them both il
many ways.
As soon as Matthew was old enough
he was sent by the general to the academy
at Alexandria, where heremained for sew
eral years.
General Washington paid an annuity
TO this nititution for the support Of or
phans for many years during his lifetime

A FoRrIoRI The following story came

A FORTIORI. .--Ihe following story came
from Spain:
A Spanish sentinel one dark night was
posted at the entrance of Il fort outside OF
Malaga. About midnight he heard some
one approaching, and gave the usual ch"l-
Ienge, equivalent to our "Who comes
there?" To his amazement the answer
was, Jesus of Nazereth!' He at once
called the sergeant of the guard and re-
orted the facts TO him. The sergeant
went forward, challenged the intruder in
his turn, and received the same answer.
Infuriated at what he considered was an
attempt to trihe with him, he knocked the
man down with his musket, and beat him
severely. He then sent for y lantern to
ascertain who it was. When the light
came, he saw that it was a gentleman oil
high standing who lived in the ueighbor-
hood, but who was out of bis mind. Ihe
sergeant, deeply regretting his hasty ac,
ton, said to the man, Il am very sorry
hurt YOU; but hereafter when challenge
YOU, remember to give your own name
The poor victim replied, 81 am not sncl
a fool as to do that If this is the kind ol
reception you give Jesus if Nazereth, you
would have killed me outright if | had
given my own name.'-Editor'S Drd'0er
