During these sweeps she discovered
no less tnan eight tcOmets-surely enough
TO merit fame.
Her days were spent in voluminous
copying in preparing collections OF stars
and nebulie, indexes, ETC., the necessary
mathematical education, il is ineiden-
tally remarked, being acquired at odd
times, breakfasts and such leisure mo-
ments.
Can too high praise be awarded to
such indefatigable industry as this?
1t is gratifying to read that a consid-
erable recognition of her merit was
granted her during her lifetime in the
shape of medals, congratulations, and
attentions from the royal families of
England and Hanover, and the high re-
gard of such men as Alexander Won
Humboldt. But with the death Of her
brother her hope died also, and although
after a time she resumed her labOrs, the
inspiration was gone, and she looked
forward with longing to the grave,
which she did not reach for twenty-five
long years, dying at the age of ninety
seven, universally regretted.
After the perusal of such book, how
Insignificant a common life appears,
with its shallow aspirations, narrow
views and selfish ease and repinings. It
seems but a dark background upon
which the light of a life like Caroline

The Rev. DR.. Justin Fulton, whilOm
minister at fremont Temple, has found
out the secret Of the tramp nuisance. IL
is because there are women clerks he
hind counters, women in our shops, in
our offices and factories. ''rhese women
are keeping the men out Of their places. T"
Poor men Now we know why the
tramp is such an enemy Of women. Il
is not because he is strong and they are
weak that he insults, maltreats, and
murders them more frequently than
men; il is because they are keeping him
out Of his place. By all means discharge
the young ladies who are supporting
themselves, and perhaps widowed moth
ers and younger brothers and sisters,
ana put the tramps in their places; but
perhaps In future IL would DE better "a
make a sure thing Of it by strangling q
percentage Of female infants at birth,
after the old Chinese custom.

THE ATONEMENT.-Th Rev. H. W.
Thomas, a Methodist divine, speaks as
follows of the atonement: at seems to
me to be a sad abuse of the blessed doc
trine of the atOnement, II, in il, any find
the least excuse or right to do wrong, for
God never can give such right; or, if any
think that in the sufierings Of Christ
they can find any possible covering-up,
or hiding from themselves of their
wrong-dOings, only as these suffeTings
so reach their inward nature and move
il to repentance and restitution, and
thus back into righteousness. This idea
OF men cheating and stealing, and then
hiding and living upon their ill-gOtten
gains; this idea of men ravishing the
Innocent and numbering the defenseless,
and then dying in triumph on the gal
lows the next moment; this idea Of SLAM
deIing some neighbor and seeing his
good name 90 down in darkness, and
you, the real villain, stand out as the
very pink of fairness, and then think to
hide it all in the atOnement. / say this
aud all such ideas have gone quite too
far for even the morality, not TO say the
religion, of our day. God gives no man
the right to sin; and he forgives no sin
only upon deep repentance and restitu-
tion when that is possible. And / sOme-
how feel that before we can ever fully
forgive ourselves we must not only have
the disposition to make all possible
amends, but must make all reasonable
efforts, and somehow feel that there
may he in the life to come some way by
which we may make the confessions or
the restitutiOus that are so often impos-
sible here.n

WHIsPERINGs FOR BACHELORS
None out the married man has a home
in his old age; none has friends then
but ne; none but ne lives and freshens
in his green old age, amid the affections
of wife and children. There are no tears
shed for the old bachelor; there is no
one in whose eyes he can see himself re-
flected, and from whose lips he can re-
eeive the unfailing assurances of care
and love. No, the old bachelor may be
tolerated for his money he may eat aud
drink and revel as such do; and he may
sicken and die in a hotel or a garret,
with plenty Of attendants about him, like
so many eOrmorants waiting for their
prey; but where are the mOistened eye,
aud gentle hand, and loving lips that
ought TO receive his last farewell? He
will never know what il is to be loved,
and to live and die amid a loving circle.
He will 90 from the world ignorant OF
the delights of the domestic fire-side,
aud on the records Of humanity his life
is noted-a blank.
