MEASURING EARTH'S MOTION.

There is now in operation in the
laboratory of Central University, Rich
mond, KY, says the Louisville Courier
Journal, an interesting apparatus that
records in beautiful manner the mo-
ton Of the earth in it's hourly progress
through space. 1t is the invention of
Prof. T. w. Tobin. The principle up
on which the instrument is formed is,
that delicately constructed pendulum
will continue to oscillate in the same
direction as started, and preserving
that plane, mark the movement of the
earth beneath it. The principle was
demonstrated by Foucalt, a French
philosopher in 1854, was verified in
Boston at the Bunker Hill monument,
and lastly again at Yale College. The
apparatus hitherto employed has been
cumbersome, and the results obtained
somewhat vague. The experiments,
nevertheless, bear historical interest,
and are related in modern text books
on physics. 1t has devolved on Ken
lucky to furnish the scientific world
with a finished and mathematical, dem
onstration of this beautiful phenome-
non, together with the apparatus for
producing the result so as to be proved
in schoolroom or laboratory. The
instrument is about six feet high, con-
sisting of an iron tripod and delicate
pendulum. There is an index at
tached to The upper portion of the pen
dulum, and when the pendulum is
started this is perfectly still. In six
minutes the arth's motion becomes ap-
parent, and the needle shows about one
degree of deviation. In one hour the
movement is so marked that the dis
lance traversed by the earth may be
estimated from it's data. The pendu-
lum is of such delicate construction
that it will remain in motion for
twelve hours, and yet may be retarded
or even stopped by blowing upon it.

FARM AND HOME.
PAIRING Apples.
BY X. K. Ri.

BYK.K KIM
Out underneath the apple tree
A bonny maiden sat,
And by her side in drowsy state.
Reposed the old gray cat.
The sky above the fields below,
The little maiden sitting there,
The golden curls, and soft blue eyes,
All formed picture sweet and fair.
And in her lap dish she held
OF fruit-a tempting sight,
And in a cherry voice she sang,
"These must be pared ere night;
But mothers gone ane I'm alone
And now I'll try my luck and see
If own-eyed Robin-whom love
Has really given his heart to me-
"For oft I've heard if I should pare
An apple whole and sound,
Without break in one long strip,
And cast it on the ground,
That, falling, it would Irvine and take
The first initial of his name,
Who, some fine day-if it il true
Will surely come my hand to claim"
Then, quick as thought, the deed was don,
And, lying at her feet,
The ruddy skin, with joy she saw,
Had formed an r complete.
She clapped her hands in child-like glee,
And ,gaZing DER the distant green,
A tender song burst from her heart,
Now, Robin is my own, I ween.''
But why so sudden bushes rise,
And mantle cheek and brow?
And see, the snowy dimpled hand,
Why does it tremble so?
A step she hears, a manly form
She knows is close beside her chair,
And, looking up, with shy blue eyes,
She sees her lover, standing there.
He lightly laughs, and taps her cheek;
ayes, little lassie, mine,
The apple skin has told thee true,
For Robins heart is thine.''
And now, neglected in their dish,
Repose the apples, red and gold,
While in the sunny afternoon,
The old, sweet tale once more is told.

The fact is, Tilden and Reform is
a frod, and those wich is yellin to
nominate him in 1880 make a mis-

L am disgusted with pollytix, any,

That is wat kills us. We come at
the people wrong end foremost. We
show our sore fingers, and make
public exhibition NV our biles, and
rather glory in the size and nastinis

Wat we hev to do now is TO
change all this. We want to as

We want to hunt about keeffully-

Wat we want is to git in, and the
people actilly demand suthin that

won't lose anything by it-these
nice Dimocrats will come to us in a
month. Their amt virchew enuff in

Then we want succession Nv dis

and we must do all that we kin TO
hev em. Hard times is alluz charged

men pine for a change. A healthy

FORWARD.
BY REV. JOHN WILSON, A. N.


However many and great the errors
of the past man should not despair.
In the midst of myriad failures, he
should have the heart to try again
and again. In the end he may
grandly succeed.
Gather lessons of wisdom from
the past wherein you might have
done better, and 60 forward, trust
ing in God. Look not at sin as
thing inevitable; that is fatalism.
But look on it as something that
should and can be avoided and you
will come off victorious. Look your
difficulties and disadvantages square
ly in the face, and in the wisdom
and might of your manhood make
the best of them. Conquer them,
instead of allowing them to conquer
you. You need everything that can
encourage you, and fill you with
hope of future success. Therefore
Christ comes to you at the starting
point of a better life, and inspires
your soul with a sense of pardon,
and proffers you grace for every
trial and conflict of life's journey.
GAS thv day is, so shall thy strength
he" The bruised reed he breaks
not, nor does he ever quench the
smoking fax. He encourages the
faintest desire to do good. When
you come to him, he will never cast
up to you the past, however bad, as
so many of your unfeeling, unsym-
pathizing fellow men are wont to
do. To the woman taken in adultery
he spoke not word of her past
guilt, but tenderly said, "Go, and
sin no more" As much as to say,
"Think not of what you have been,
but of what you may be" 50 this
morning he says to each one OF you,
oLook not back at, or think of your
past days of guilt and profiiganey,
but do the best you can in the fu-
ture, and all will be we'll"
Life, like war, is at best full of
blunders and failures. The best
general is not the man who makes
no missteps. A third-rate command
er may do that, but rest assured, he
will win few if any signal victories.
The leader that achieves the grand
est triumphs is the one that retrieves
his mistakes, and organizes victory
out of his past blunders. Hence,

What Interfered with Iho BoTs,5Re-
hearsaI

Seven intellectual boys met by ap-
POintment at the corner of Cass
avenue and Joy street, the other
day, and were thus addressed by
one W no seemed to be the chairman
of the meeting:
''Boys, we can't have that rehears-
al to-day. The boy who was going
to act the angel has got to shovel
snow all the afternoon. The bov
who breaks into bank has got the
toothaehe and is galloping around
the house, and that Third street bov
who was going to rescue Pauline
sassed his mother this afternoon and
got such whaling that he couldn't
rescue a stuffed dog. 1 expect to
get walloped this afternoon for
stealing sugar, and 1 guess we'd bet
ter not think of a tour to Europe
with our Three Women of Sandy
Bar"
The other actors seemed agreed,
and as they separated in different
directions each boy appeared to full
ly realize how near he had come to
making a path for Edwin Booth TO
travel in, and how some little trife,
ike a sound thrashing, will change
a boys whole life. Free Press.

BALLAD THE FRENCH FLEET,
OCTOBER, 1746.
BY v. H. LoSeTEILOw.

A fleet with flags arrayed
Sailed from the port of Brest,
And the Admiral's flag displayed
The signal, ''Steer Southwest.
For this Admiral D'AnviIle
Had sworn by cross and crown
To ravage with fire and steel
Our helpless Boston town.
There were rumors in the street,
In the houses there was fear
OF the coming Of the fleet,
And the danger lowering near;
And while from mouth to mouth
Spread the tidings Of dismay
IstOOd in the old South,
Saying humbly, s'Let US pray"
80 Lordl we would not advise;
But if in thy providence
A tempest should arise
To drive the French fleet hence,
And scatter it far and wide,
Or sink it IN the sea,
We should be satisfied,
And Thine the glory be"
This was the prayer made,
For my soul was all on flame,
And even as prayed
The answering tempest came
1t came with mighty power,
Shaking the windows and walls,
And toIling the bellin the tower,
As it tolls at funerals.
The lightning suddenly
Unsheathed its flaming sword,
And cried, ''Stand still and see
The salvation of the Lord"
The heavens we're black with cloud,
The sea was white with bail,
And ever more fierce and loud
Blew the October gale.
The feet it overlook,
And the broad sails in the van,
Like the tents of Cushan shook,
Or the curtains Of Midian.
Down on the reeling decks
Crashed the overwhelming seas;
All! never were there wrecks
So pitiful as thesel
Like potter's vessel broke
The great ships Of the line;
They were carried away as q smoke,
Or sank like lead in the brine.
o Lord before Thy path
They vanished and ceased to be
When Thou didst walk in wrath
With Thine horses through the sea.

OUR PEI PULLET.


So small and so speckled-half bantam,
She lays nice egg every day,
And cackles aloud Gd libituxR,
As though something grand she'd to say
Who knows but they are rather grand like
The words that she essays to speak;
We certainly find quite handy, like,
The eggs that she layeth each week
A timerous, keen-eyed, young pullet,
She takes to her nest every day,
As sleek, but more plump than wallet,
When hard times have kept back the pay
So round is her nest, and so eoZy,
A nice resting place, it doth seem;
wonder she never gets dozy,
Nor sports an occasional dream.
But go there what time she reposes,
Her eyes bright and pert you will see,
As bright as the dew on the roses,
Ere dried by the morning air free.
Oh, go there what time she is thinking
OF laying the egg smooth and white,
You never will find her blinking,
But watching what passeth her sight.
Half bantam, and speekled and spotted,
She lays q nice egg. now and then,
And caekles the due time allotted
To every respectable hen.
Perhaps in the dim future ages,
Some freshly learned, studious youth,
May translate the pages on pages,
She's cackled-stin cackles, forsooth.
