age. These periods of enormous dura-
ton of time sink into inSigniicance be-
fore the history of the solar system as a
whole.
We find wide relation between the
parts of the solar system, in all that the
planets, from the mightiest globe to the
smallest satellite, except one of Uranus,
move i'll their paths in the same direc-
ton. Astronomers would he AS much
surprised TO see one of the asteroids
which 200 have been discOvered-going
i'll the opposite direction as to see the
sun rise i'll the West.
All the heavenly bodies are parts of
some mighty whole. BY the nebulaT
hypothesis, the whole solar system was
once an enormous mass of gaseous mat
ter, which began turning like a disc.
Tnen the outer part became discovered
and formed one orb; the next and the
next followed, until there was only
central sun left to rule the entire
system. Each planet went through the
same process, rings after rings and sat
elites after satellites were formed. This
nebular theory accounts for the general
features. 1t is not opposed by facts
HC dlOO DC COIi-
sidered. Prof. Newton, of Yale College
estimates that the earth is increased by
400,0O0,0OO every year. This may amount
to thousands of tons of matter, but it is
nothing as compared with the mass of
the earth. Still we may say the earth is
growing; but her growth is only like
that of one who has already attained
his full stature. These meteOrs are only
the residue of a residue, the few left out
of the millions of the past. In remote
ages the earth must have met far more
From rough calculation made, find
that my assumption must have been
wrong, or the earth would have inereas-
ed tenfold more than she did. But we
may rightly contend that no small part
of the mass of the earth is formed from
meteoric aggregations. If we take La
Places theory with the meteOrie, we
may account for the present condition
of our planet. And as the earth, and in
deed all the matter we knOw--Our bo-
dies and brains-have come down from
the heavens, is it any wonder that all
our higher thoughts and aspirations are
heavenward?

NapOieOn's Parents.

The family of Bonapartes were of
pure Italian race; there was not a drop
OF French blood in any of them. Their
ancestors had come from the mainland
in the early history of Corsica, and their
names are found in the remote annals
of AjaeciO. Carlo Bonaparte was poor
gentleman of excellent breeding and
character. who married in his youth a
young and romantic girl named Letizia
Ramolino, who followed him in his CAM
Paigns up to the moment OF. the birth Of
Napoleon. 1t is impossible to say how
much the history of Europe owes to the
high heart and indomitable spirit of
this sOldierly woman. She never reliT-
quished her authority in her family.
When all her children were princes and
potentates, she was still the severe, stern
Madame Mere. The beauty and grace
of Josephine Beauharnais never con-
quered her; the sweet Tyrolese pretti-
ness of Maria Louisa won from her only
a sort of contemptuous indulgence.
When her mighty son ruled the conti-
nent. she was the only human being
whose chidings he regarded or endured
She was faithful in her rebukes while
the sun shone, and when calamity came,
her undaunted spirit was still true and
devoted to the fallen. Her provincial
habit of economy stood her in good
stead in her vigorous old age; she was
rich when the Empire had passed away,
and her grandchildren needed her aid.
1t must have been from her that Napo-
leon took his extraordinary character,
for Carlo BOnaparte, though brave SOL
dier and an ardent patriot in his youth,
was of an easy and genial temper, in
clined to take the world as he found it,
and not to assist too much on having 1t
go in his especial way. After the cause
of COrsican liberty was lost by the sue
cess of the French arms, he accepted
the situation without regret, and be-
coming intimate with the eOnquerors,
he placed as many of his family as pos
sible OH the French pension list. His
sons Napoleon and Louis were given
scholarships at Brienne and at Autun,
and his eldest daughter, Elise, entered
the royal institution at st. Cyr. While
yet in the prime of life, he died of the
same deadly disease which was to finish
Napoleon's days at st. Helena; and the
heroic mother, her responsibilities be-
coming still heavier by this blow, lived
for eight years longer amid the eonfu-
sion and civil tumult which had become
chronic in Corsica; and then, after the
capture of the island by the English in
1795, she made her escape with her
children to Marseilles, where she lived
several years in great penury.-[ Harpers

THANKSGIVING.
BY Il. F. TAYLOR.

Lay out the earth in a sheet of snow,
There is nothing at all to harm below,
Where men dream out the world t. gethel
And pansies sleep till pleasant weather.
The safest place in all the land
Is the narrow realm of the folded hand
Then THANKS to God that Il flower will
die
Twas made to time Thanksgiving by:
Breathe as it falls-prophetic thing!-
''There1l be an April in the Spring"
To stand on Glory's diamond stair.
And THANKS again, though l go late,
A mother gone, shall smiling wait,
Shall breathe three names with reverent
tone,
The Child's, the Virgins, and her own,
And lift the latch of Mercy's gate.
Rouse up the fire to costly glow.
Till the maple parts and the rubies show
Swing back the curtains now if ever,
And rich and warm, the slender river
Shall cleave Thanksgiving night in twain
As the mantle parted the old Red Main :
All never fear-shine as it will
Enough is left to cheer us still.
Perhaps some wanderer is going past
Who tried all sorrows but the last,
And wonders why he dares to live,
And thinks he has no thanks to give
May see that glimmer on the ground
His old, dead heart give glad rebound,-
1t looks so like the road of gold
He trod himself, in times of old
Look up and see thanksgiving found!
Bring out the chairs from the empty wall
Where fitful shadows used to fall,
The shapes of father, sister, mother,
OF slender sweetheart, friend and broth
er,
No painted window half so fair
As the old home-room with its shadows
there;
No pictured hall, at Kings desire,
Could match that group before the fire
Who never cast shade beside
But on that wall, and when they diedl
And some went up at break of day,
Some waited longer by the way
Let them who will thank God for light,
Such shadows never made it night.
Come one, come all, there yet is room
Thanks be to God, from heaven to home
Is nothing but flash of light.
Wheel forth the table, laden palm,
Well all give thanks and we'll sing a
psalm
Some song Old-fashioned, of Forever,
That tioated safe across the river,
No note lost out, no cadence gone,
They warbled, died, and sang right on!
The girls shall come in their white and
blue,
AS if they broke Gods azure through,
Played truant to the realms of light
To be with us Thanksgiving night
The boys are thronging through the hall
They've not grown old these years at all
Some marched away to muffled drum
But fling no shadows as they come
Without a sorrow or sin
Fen Death himself would let them in
Oh sweethearts COmfadesl Welcome
homei

THE EART II.
How Long it Took Ii g., ''OOl.-FlIe
Fuiure Of Our VI 1Iid.

I The following extracts are taken from
lecture by Prof. Richard A. Proctor
the distinguished English astronomer
delivered at New York, on Tuesday OF
last week, and relate to the duration OF
time it took the earth to cool, and also
as as to what may be the worlds future
''Then if we pass back into the prece,
ding ages we must compute the time fOl
the earth to cool down from a molten
state. BischOff, the German, determines
by experiment with molten rock, and he
is supported by Helmholtz, that the pc
riod required for the earth to cool from
1000 degrees Centigrade to 200 degrees
is 35O,0OO,OO0 years. BischOff probably
erred in Understanding rather than in
overestimating the period; but if we
take this period as probable and add 10
it the succeeding time, we have 100000
600 million years since the earth was a
nebular mass, and in round numbers
may declare 5OO,UOO,OOO years the age of
our planet.
Much longer periods are required for
the larger planets. In estimating time
in planetary life we must apply New
toms principle that the larger the plan
ct the longer the stages of its existence.
We find that if we heat two iron balls,
ono On inch in diomotor ond fba othar
two inches inches in diameter, it will
take twice as long for the latter to cool
as the former, for although it has four
times as much mass it has eight times as
much surface from which all heat must
depart. The planet Jupiter in mass is
nearly 343 times as large as the earth !;
343 is equal to the cube of seven; for Ju-
piter, then, to reach the same density as
the earth, it would take seven times as
many years, or seven times 350,OOO,OOO,
equal to 2,450,OOO,OOO; and allowing the
same proportion for subsequent chang
es, for Jupiter to reach the point the
earth has would require 3,5OO,OOO,OOO, or
3,000,000,0O0 more years than than the
earth. But Jupiter is still far younger
in development than is our planet.
When we turn to the sun we reach far
higher figures. Following the same rule,
as the mass of the sun is $4,000 times
greater than that of the earth, Its age
will be seventy times as great, and we
find that it would take $4,000, 100000
years for the sun to reach the earth's
present state.
Considering the smaller Orbs, as the
moon, we find that the past period is
comparatively brief but that the earth
will reach the same condition far in the
remote future. The moon in mass is 81
times less than the earth, and its sur
face is as l to 13. BY dividing 81 by
13 we find how many times the compara-
tive age of the moon is less than the
earth's. This gives S3,000,0O0 years as
the time it took for the moon to reach
a condition similar to the present stage
of the earth's existence The earth is
behind the moon about 320,000,00O years,
and as the moon goes on six times as
fast as the earth, 420,0OO,000 multiplied
by 8 gives us 2,50O,0O0O0O years before
we shall see the earth as the moon now
is.
From the present condition of the
moon we learn what to expect on our
earth. Our planet, now full of life, will
in 2,500,OO0,O0O years be in extreme old

glances at the clock. As they were slow

are S4,S41,24 90 for 1879, against S4,-
O39,611 81 in 1873 and S3,656,S93 AZ in
1877. The reduction in the Indebtedness
during the fiscal year amounted to
$3,95S,753 Is. In addition, payments
were made on account of the principal
of debt and of the sinking funds during
the year of S64S,5S4 35, making an ag-
gregate reduction of S4,607,33S O3 in the

in the stock of the North German Lloyd
Steamship Company amounted to $685.

invested capital derived from net earn
ings, and which is not represented by
either stock or bonds, now amounts to
$3S, ,205,657 93. The increase of the toll
mage of the road has been remarkable,
amounting to ,425,629 tons for the year,
against 1,149,4 in 1878, 1,04I,645 in
1871 In 1874 the amount of merchan-
disc carried was 752,256 tons, so that it
has doubled in five years. The report of
the various divisions of the road shows
a large and prosperous business, highly
encouraging to the stockholders. The
gratifying announcement is made that it
is the intention of the company to in
crease its pier, warehouse and elevator
facilities. The report concludes with a
strong commendation of the Chesapeake
and Delaware Ship Canal, presenting in
brief considerations which ought to
cause favorable action by Congress in
regard to the scheme.-- Baltimore

Diamonds Unearihed.

None are overstOcked with patience.
Death has nothing terrible in it but
what life has made so.
Censure is tax man pays the pub
lie for being eminent.
The man lacks moral courage who
treats when he should retreat.
He who shows kindness toward ami
mails will display the same characteristic
toward men.
"Do COME and see usp' sounds very
well; but how much heart is there in it
in many cases?
If you would render your children
helpless, never compel or permit them
to help themselves.
Never reflect on past action which
was done with good motive and the
best judgment at the time.
Feelings come and go, like light
troops following the victory of the
present; but principles, like troops of
the line, are undisturbed and stand fast.
The best means to learn our faults is to
tell others of theirs; they will be too
proud to be alone in their defects, and
viii seek them in us and reveal them to
us.
The water that flows from a spring
does not freeze in the coldest winter.
And those sentiments of true friendship
which flow from the heart cannot BE-
frozen by adversity.
The greater part of all the mischief OF
the world comes from the fact that
men do not sufficiently understand their
own aims. They have undertaken to
build tower, and spend no more labor
on their foundation than would be neceS-
sary to erect hut.
We must patiently suffer the laws Of
our condition; we are born to grow old,
to grow weak. to be sick, in spite OF
physie. This the first lesson the Mexi-
cans teach their children. So soon as
they are born they thus salute them,
Behold, thou art come into the world
to endure, suffer and gay nOthingi"
'Tis injustice to lament that has befallen
any one which may befall every one.

in his constitution, and those who know
him personally will appreciate, as no 9th
ers can, the decision recently given by
him in the case of John Casey VS.. Flo
renee E. Casey, suit for divorce on
on the ground Of ineompatibility. He
learned from the evidence that one was
about as wretchedely quarrelsome as the
other, and therefore granted decree of
separation, but not of absolute divorce,
holding that it would not be right in any
court to subject the community to the
perils tuat must environ them while
these two people, or either of them, re-
mained in the matrimonial market.

A LATE number of Washington
paper contains the following, which will
be of interest to many soldiers in this
State: One r. A Dimmick has been
sending letters and circulars to the bene-
6ciairies of the Arrears of Pensions act,
in which he makes the preposterous
claim that he got that measure through
Congress, and in return for his great
services, asks for a portion of the money
received. There is no valid claim by
Dimmick or any one else for any pay
ment on account of lobbying for that
bill, and all such applications should be
regarded as efforts to impose on the
crcdulity of pensioners.
