MISCELLANY.
THE SUN.

Science teaches that we were called into ex-
istence only through the sun. The present
system of solar study began in 1860, and is
distinguished fiom the Older systems by the
use of new instruments aud photography
Since then this system has grown almost to
science. In 1869 new impetus was given to
the study by the supposed discovery of i'm
mense bodies on its surface. Subsequent
telescope study in Europe aud America has
demonstrated the existence Of those spots or
bodies, but nothing is yet known of their sub
stance. Until 1860 it was unknown whether
these protuberances belong 70 the sun or the
moon. He detailed the production of neg
alive of a.porton Of the sun on which there
were counted over million spots and which
was photographed in one two~thousandth
part of a second. The sciep6s Of photography
has so advanced that within few months
objects have been photographed in absolute
darkness. The atmosphere in most places is
not favorable to successful telescopio obser-
vations. Much more could DO accomplished
in the clearer air of Mt. Etna or on the table
lands, Colorado. There are many popular
errors as to the effect of the sun ON the earth.
We are no moro able 10 tell from the sun what
the weather win be next week than what the
harvest will be next year. The heat of the
sun is equal to one horse power for every ten
feet of surface of the earth. The waste of
sun power in the Adirondack region, for in
stance. is greater than all the steam power In
use in the world. The machines for concen-
trating the suns heat now in use in Europe
may in time become useful. We may look in
future to substitute for coal in the waste
heat of the sun. Although knowledge now,
as in the past, as to the effect OF the sun on
the earth's atmospher is limited, we may in
future foretell the results Of a harvest year in
advance, and foresee flmnes such as have
destroyed millions of people in times past
The immense heat from the sun is now tenn
pered by the atmosphere of the earth. The
thickening of this atmosphere would bring
ON again an age of ice, while its thinning
would dissolve the earth. This generation
will see no change IL From lecture By Prot.

Girls AND PIANoS.--Dear girls, don't
waste your time pounding the piano if you
have no music in your souls. Unless you
have talent and the grace of persistence
strong enough to insure thoroughness 10 the
study and skill in the performance, leave that
much abused instrument to the tender mer.
cies of those who have the power to produce
sweet harmonies, and turn your attention to
sone pursuit that win bring more satisfactory
rewards for time consumed and money ex-
pended. Better paint porcelain, pet poodles,
crochet tides or embroider slippers for BACH
elor clergymen than irritate the nerves OF
your friends and exasperate the temper OF
your neighbors in the vain attempt TO be-
come musicians If nature had no such inten-
tions in your construction. What can be more
trying to the sanity graces, or torturing to
the nervous sensiblities, than pianoforte in
the hands of bungling performer?
We can screw our courage up to stand the
dismal shrek of a steam whistle, or the hid
eous breaking of an ungreased wagon wheel,
becatse We know chat ere long the whistle
win subside into silence and dose Of lubri-
eating oil will stop the breaking Of the wheel
but who can abate the piano nuisance when a
maiden, devoid Of ability, takes IT into heI
head to get musical accomplishment ? We
hardly dare suggest the idea that knowl
edge Of the science of cookery might be q
more potent charm than musical perform

Fancy runs most furiously when a guilty
conscience drives it.
| A mind too vigorous and active serves only

Flattery is like your shadow it makes

| Justice consists in doing no injury to any
one decency in giving no offence.

There cannot be greater tfeachery than

1t is our duty to be happy, because happi-

CLIMBING.
Toilworn, yet patiently we climbed
The hillside's weary way
Behind us on far peaceful hills,
The gold OF sunset lay.
With clouds bright-hued, the purpling sky
O'erhead was braided Ger
But glory by the sunset gates
The hill rose high before.
Our feet pressed up the shadowy way,
No sunlight reached TO bless;
When gained the hill tops height revealed
Wide realms of loveliness.
So, climb we, toiling day by day.
The mount that Heaven doth hide,
We walk in shadow of the HILL
And climb the shaded side.
Behind us lies the sunny past,
Above, our hopes and light
But who may speak the glory theirs
Who reach the topnost height?
