Does the World Move Z

The Rev. John Jasper, of Virginia, says, 'De
sun do move, for in de mornin' it shines on dis
side OBJ de hous, Will in de ebenin, on dat side
OBJ de hous. Now, of he don't move, how com
he dar?" Notwithstanding Mr. Jasper's logic
we yet believe the world moves. When Mr..
Jasper's ideas constitu ed the popular belief,
people thought that to die Of smallpox or
cholera WAS simply fulfilling one Of natures
laws Now, through vaccination, smallpox is
averted while cholera, cholera morbus, dyson
terry, (fux), and diarrhGa are readily cured by
the use of Dr. Pierce's Compound Extract OF
Smart Weed. Does not such evidence tend to
prove that the world moves?" AS an external

Eugene is poor. Such is not the case.
Her large fortune is invested in English
consols, and the interest she derives

money he could scrape together was for

FOR THE YOUNG PEOPLE.
Cherry G.

Cherry G..
We have = pet canary,
His name is Cherry G.
You cannot find a birdie,
That's happier than he.
He whistles and he MARBLES,
A merry song he sings
With airy, graceful motion
From perch to perch he springs,
Or, in his bright hoop hanging
Aoft, he gayly swings.
Once, every day, we open
His door and let him fly
There is a deep south window
That first attracts his eye;
For many plants all blooming,
Fill up the recess there,
And Cherry thinks the summer
Hides in the blossoms fair,
Although the white snow covers
The brown hills everywhere.
Now round the room he circles,
His jetty wings outspread;
A crest Of black and yellow
Rests on his tiny head;
His breast is orange color,
His suit is almost new
Oh, he's a cunning fellow,
Cunning and happy too;
He's never cross or saucy,
He never frets-do you?
All, you should see him perching
Upon the pictures near,
Or by us lightly fitting
Without thought or fear
Back to his cage returning
With willing, rapid wing,
And without rest beginning
At once to sweetly sing,
As if he knew the pleasure
His cheerful notes must bring.
Oh, daring little birdie
How can you be so bright
What is it that soTglsddens
Your heart and makes it light?
You cheer us like sunbeam,
And while we hear your song
The ills Of life grow lighter,
The days appear less long;
The world itself seems brighter,
And faith and hope more strong.

sent efforts to intimidate the West If /

wlckedness. Rival cities with improved
advantages and facilities, invite the busi-
