not to yield individual opinion to the wiser judg-

He mad learned that most difficult Of judicial les

His great service to the state may not now be

during his tenure Of office must find their full

The life Of Judge Ryan was one long struggle
"a struggle against himself-a struggle against
untowarl fortune-a struggle against intirmity
for. And 80 to most men he seemed arrogant and
proud whereas to those who knew him best he
was. when acquit Of infrlnity, conpanionable and
considerable.
He possessed none of the arts of the courtier.
He would neither bow subseryient to power, nor
be patient in the presence Of wrong and oppres-
sion. Like the oak Of the forest - could break
but could not bend Power ..Ight crush hint

from sympathy to the oppressed. He hated the
wrong more than he loved The victim Of the

Such man could never be popular he never
sought to be. He despised the popularity that l.
run after. He challenged the fame that waits up
on grand deeds upon great intellectual and moral
mower. Men admired him. The world recognized
a eraud intellect, and marvelled at its power. 1t
ar,prehended his great requirements, and honored
him. But it could not love him. Il neither com
pretended the man, nor allowed for his infirmity.
Indeed. he never sought the worlds appreciation.
He was all-sufHeient TO himself. He shut himself
no within himself, asking neither sympathy nor
love. He seemed Of different mould from other
men above the need Of sympathy, or too proud

That to it they owe their subsistence,

directly or indirectly, all a2imals must

that the creation of plant and animal

TURN where we will, the ever recur-
ring subject of the great Convention
that is just before us, still occupies our
attention. This is because it is in the
minds of every one. Why should it
not be? In an ordinary campaign,
and in common times, it is Il subject
fraught with intense interest. See
where we stand now. The country
has just emerged from unwonted times,
just escaped from the wheeling and
boiling eddies of II fraternal strife
which nearly sank the high hope that
our beloved country would forever
live, and that her free institutions were
safe. And now, suddenly, the legisla-
tive branch of the government is in the
hands of men WHO sympathize with
her attempted destroyers; and the
party in whose hands she passed
through all her perils, are ignobly
quarreling about who shall represent
her and carry her still further from
fearful danger. The hero who rescued
her is maligned, and charged even
with dishonesty. The enterprising
statesman who rescued Maine from
the tolls of IL conspiracy, which had
for its object the subvertion of the will
of the people Of that state, and an ul-
terror purpose of controlling n Presi-
dental election, in an interest at least
agreeable to the South, is treated by
his party friends with contempt and a
criticism which will be terribly embar.
RAISING if he shall represent the party
in the coming campaign.
Now this is all wrong. 1t is suicidal.
1t is cIuseless. We believe that above
all the prejudices against those men,
and against the bugbear of a third
term, which is an experience best fit
ting an honest man to perform the
duties of that high Office, and above
and clear of all the objections, real or
fancied, to the want of capacity, OIL
purity of character, learning or states
inanship of those men, rise the grand
character of Vermont's Senator, adorn
ed with learning, purity, candor, and
craftsmanship, and that he is the man
whom all concede to be peculiarly fit
ted for these times, and the man who
can best regulate the unsettled condi
ton of the country. But, notwith.
standing this, does our preference jus.
tify us in attempting to poison the
country against either of the men to
whom the country owe so much, and
who have stood by her with so much
zeal and ability? Let not the party
which is the country, and has been SC
long, commit suicide. Let it not die
and if die it must, let it not go down
ignobIy in Internal strifes and petty
preferences, which set men and preju
hices above the country.

ASTRONOMY.
LECTURE, NO. ).
BY H. A. CUTTING, PHI. D.
OUR EARTH AS A PLANET.

To us, our earth seems immense.
Even now, in this age of steam, we
think it great journey to travel
around it. AS we come to the consid-
GRAFTON of our world as a planet in
space, and compare this speck of earth
with what there is in space beyond,
we are overwhelmed with the immen-
sity of the work. When we think of
eighteen miles per second, (which is
the velocity of our earth in its orbit
around the sun,-which giy3s us our
year, with its ever varying seasons 5
it is a fact that strikes the mind Of one
not versed in the mathematics Of the
spheres, AS incomprehensible; and when
we think that during tile 3G5 days of
this revolution, that the earth revolves
upon its axis every "a hours, giving us
day and night, and further, that the
equatorial circumference of the earth
is $4,000 miles, and the consequent
equatorial velocity Of its surface is over
400 miles per hour, we can but ex-
claim: truly the power that upholds
such immensely, is Almighty.
But to the observer who chances over
q portion of its surface, it might seem u
stable world. He sees rich and fer
tile plain, watered by rivers, and water
courses which have during long ser
les of years pursued the same uniform
and tranquil course. A traveller in
China, he contenplates the walls, and
monuments of great cities, which he is
told have history SO far back in time,
as to be lost in the night of ages ; thus
with his own eyes, lie sees the work of
uncounted centuries. As naturalist,
he examines a mountain, or other geo
logical formations, and finds them all,
as he finds the hills, valleys, and
streams, just as described by history,
or tradition. No one making such OBJ
servations, would at first suspect that
any serious change had ever occurred
10 disturb those scenes, or change the
surface of the surrounding country
Nevertheless, those places have not al.
ways presented the aspect of to-day
In common with every place ON earth
they have had their commissions of na.
ture in reality, entire physical revo
lutions. We read almost every day Of
fierce tornadoes, devastating floods, oil
terrible earthquakes, that convert the
beautiful plains into marshes, destroy
towns, or change the entire topography
of the section. Smaller causes alsc
have many times great effect, as the
fall of an avalanche may block up a
glver and cause it to overflow the sur
rounding country, and cover the fer
tile soil With stones and gravel, or bur!
it in several feet of mud. The Bibl'

Where the doors stand open throughout the day,
And the cooling doves dy in and out
And the air il sweet with the fragrant hay;
Where the grain lies over the slippery floor
And the hens are buslly looking around,
And the supbeams flicker, now here, now there.
And the breeze blows through with . merry
sound
The swallows tvitter and chirp all day,
With 6uttering wings, in the old brown caves,
And the robins sing In the trees which lean
To brush the roof with their rustling leaves.

When srandpa's barn will echo the shout
CT merry children, who romp and play
In the ne W born freedom of school lei out,
Euch soaring of doves from their cosey nests,
such hunting for eggs in the lofts so n1zn,
Til the frightened hens. with a cackle shrlil,
From their hidden treasures are fain to fly.
Oh, the dear old barn. 90 COOL so wide,
Its doors will open again ere long
To the SUNNI er sunshine. the new IDown nay,
And the merry ring OF vacation song.

And cen old lime, as the years slip Dy'
