GREAT GOD PAN.
Down in the reeds hv the river?
Spreading ruin and scattering ban,
Spa 4hng and padding with hoofi Of goat.
And breaking the golden lilies afoai.
With the dragon fly on the river.
He tore out reed, the great god Pan.
From the deep cool bed of the river;
The mpid water turbdly ran,
And the broken lilies adymg lay,
And the dragon-hy had fled away,
4 er he brought it out of the river
High on the shore sat the great god Pan,
While turbidv flowed the river
And hacked and hewed a. great god can
With his hard bleak steel At the patient reed,
Till there was not q sign of a leaf indeed
To prove it fresh from the river.
He cut It short, did the great god Pan,
tIIow tail 1t stood in the riverD
Then drew the pth, like the heart of man,
Steadily from the outside ring,
And watched the poor dry empty thing
In holes as he sa! BY the river.
"rhis is the way, iaughe the great god Pan,
tianghed while lac sat by the rlver,)
"1he only way, since gods began
To make sweet music, they could succeed
Then. dropping lis mouth TO Il hole in the reed,
He blew in power by the river.
Sweet, sweet, sweet q PAN
Piercing sweet hy the river!
binding sweet O great god Pan,
The sun ON the hill forgot to die
And the lilies revived, and the drag0n-fy
Came back to dream on the river.
Yet half beast is the great god Pan,
To laugh as he sits bv the river,
Making Il poet out of a man,
The true gods sigh for the cost snd pain
For the reed which grows neyermore again
A. reed with the seeds in tic river.

OUR TENURE OF LIFE

Depends in great measure upon our regard
for or neglect of the laws OF health. Ii we
violate them we annot expect to make old
bones.o But that the span OF existence al
lotted to a naturally delicate constitution, or
be materially heightened, is a fact of which
we have daily proof. The vivitying and re-
storatiye influence of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters upon a failing physique affords a
striking illustration of the power Of judic-
ious medication to strengthen the hold on
life. Restored digestion, complete assimiia-
ton. renewed appetite, sound repose, these
are among the benefits conferred upon the
debilitated by that supreme renoyant. WIN
a circulation enriched, a frame invigorated,
and a nervous system tranquelized, the IN
valid. after a course of the Bitters, feels that
his Hfe-tenure is no longer the precarious
thing that it was-that he may yet enjoy a
Hgreen old. age.

SOLAR LIGHT AND HEAT.-Dr. Henry
Rngers. who has been questioning WIN
remarkable force and acunen some OF the
ss,co,ies OF scientific men in the neio OF
raysics, has contributed to the Buuaio
Loarler an article on light and heat, IN
witch he declares that the HYPOTHESIS OF
many distinguished scientists that OLD, use
less worlds. comets, meteors, &c, are al
Syacted TO the sun to be utilized Tor the pro-
siuction Of its beat and light, is contrary 10
every principle OF reason and sound phllo-
unphy. His view OF the matter Is that Tue
sun and earth arc gigantic fountains OF mag
pe.ic influence, that there is no heat IN Inc
sup. although it is the source or potn neat
and light. and that in this respect, but upon
g vast scale. it resembles the magneto-eiec-
ts5c and dynamo electric processes, with
which our electricians are familiar, and the
best illustration OF which is TO befound in the
electric light. As in these processes, so 10 the
sun, MIR. Rogers argues that light and heat
are not necessarily manifested at or near
the seat OF production, but exist potentially,
aheir development as light and heat being
effected wherever the proper conditions are
y,Tov;ded. In other words, the sun IS
gYea, magnetic battery, constantly giving
out electricity, and though dark OF ltself,
distributes throughout the whole solar sys-
Sem invisible, inSensible potential hight and
heat, TO be developed where required, and
Ibat the sun and the earth, both being re-
scryoirs of electricity, act and react upon
