THE MAN IN THE MOON.

The disk Of the moon, as is very
apparent: is not of uniform bright
ness, but is diversified by dark
areas here and there. These dark
areas are so arranged as, to repre-
sent the eyes, nose and mouth of
a human being, and the whole
disk represents, passabiy well, a
human face. Not all people, how
ever, can see this resemblance.
Some who cannot see the face can
see a man and a woman carving
between them bucket of water.
The man stands on the left side Of
the disk, the woman on the right.
10 some the dark spaces appear
to have the same shape as North
and South America, as if the
Western Continent was reflected
In the moon. .....
The Tartars see more of these,
but their man in the moon is q
Wood-cutter, bearing on his back
a huge bundle Of wood and sup
porting himself with a staff. The
Japanese see the form of q rabbit
in q sitting posture. His long
ears stand erect, and before him is
a large mortar. In his forepaws
: be holds pestle, with which he is
grinding rice after the manner of
the Japanese. ...-..,-
The Emperor Rodofpb, who of:
ten observed the moon with the
astronomer, Kepler, saw upon it
the image of Italy. The ANGIE nts
recognized the resemblance of the
moon to the human face, for the
historian Plutarch wrote q trea.
tise contradicting the vulgar idea.
Great FOOLS said be, are they
who think that they see face on
the moon. That which they think
they see is an illusion. 1t is
caused by fatigue Of the eye,
which makes light and shade
where there is only uniformity.
How greatly he was mistaken
was shown afterwards, when the
telescope was invented. Under
the powerful eye of this instru-
ment the surface of the moon ex.
hibits anything but uniformity.

ridges are abundant From some
of the mountains, long rays ex-
tend in every direction like

The telescope dispels ell those
resemblances which are so ap-
parent to the naked eye, but even
with this aid not all people see
alike. One likens the moon to a.

NEWBERRY S. c. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 49, 1881.

Two or three days passed, ana
still Reuben Russet could not
! bring himself to tell Pennle Joyce
about the Saratoga heiress, with
the purple-biue eyes and the low,
silver-syIIah!ed voice.
Pennie watched him, wistfuIly.
'He is cbaugcd.' she admitted
to herself; bat Of course | could
hardly expect him always to be
just the same. OnIy-on!y-'
And the tears came INTO Pen
MES eyes, she scarcely know why,
and she blamed herself for being
such a foolish little goose
But one suItry evening, Mr..
Rnsset did force himself to write
the letter-a vague, mysterious
sort Of rnissi7c. containing only
one plain fact--that ne was ell
gagged to Miss Gusbington Cor
don.
And, as he wrote it, he felt
more and more what fatal mis-
take he had made in giving up
Pennie Joyce's true, womanly
heart for the artificial smiles of
the Saratoga belle.
As he folded and sealed it. the
landlady's little boy banded in
the evening mail-two papers and
letter.
A letter from one Ernest Val
dez, whose acquaintance he had
made at Sarataga-an idle, good.
humored young fellow, with no
harm in him, and a deal Of latent
good.
Mr.. Valdez wrote:
we are all progressing much
the same as ever. We drink the
waters, we criticise the music, we
watch for the incoming trains.
By the. way, you surely haven't
forgotten that tall girl at your
house, with the curious pansy-
colored eyes and the magnificent
iy-dyed hair? Miss Gushington
Gordon, you know? Well, she
has turned ont hnmbug-an i'm
position-a stupendous fraud. 1t
seems she is only Iady's-maid.

skiIlfulIy maSquerading in her
mistress wardrobe, during that
Iady's absence az the sick bed Nf a
dying relation.
Mrs. Montague has come back
the 'daw in borrowed feathers
has been stripped Of her gay plu-
mage, and Miss Gushington Cor
don, with her imitation diamonds,
and second hand airs and graces
has disappeared entirely from the
arena.
Some say she has been arrested ;
others declare that Mrs. Montague
has forgiven her, on condition Of
her retiring to bor native place,
in an obscure English town. At
all events, she has vanished from
The stage Of action, and the places
that knew her once now know
her no more
Three or four closely-written
pages of gossip and clever satire
followed, but Reuben Russet never
paused to glance at these. He
sprang from his chair with an
exclam alton Of relief.
'Tbank Providence = he exclaim-
ed, that am no longer bound TO
that talse-hearted, hollow pre-
tender! Little Pennie is worth
ten thousand of her.
He tore up the letter Of con-
fession, and went straight to
spend the evening at the Joyce
farmhouse, and innocent little
| Pennie never knew how nearly
that season at Saratoga had cost
her her lover.
AS for Reuben Russet, be is a
wiser if not a sadder man. And
he wants no more lessons in hu-
man nature.

thing
'Humph ! said Farmer Joyce.

/ the indignant girl, bristling up
like q hen canary.
Human Datur' is human natur'
whether it's at Saratogy or any
other place, stoutly maintliEed
the farmer.
Mr.. Russet went to Saratoga
and took rooms at fashionable
clearinghouse, near the Hathorn
spring. He walked up and down
the elm shaded paths with two lit
!! tie devotional books, Of u morning,
listened 10 the band, aud studied
out telling sentences for possible
sermons, in the afternoon, and
edged himself modestly into the
gIittering bathrooms of tho mon
Stcr hotels at night, whom the Cor
man was in full career.
'Merely to study my fellow. crea-

justcd his eyeglasses,

Miss Gushipgton Gordon, who
biazed with jewels, and wore long
trained skirts, such as Mr.. Russet
never had beheld at Raspberry
Vale.
Miss Gushington Gordon had
the best rooms at the house. the
largest wardrobe, and the most
brilliant necklaces. Rumor called
her great heiress, and Mr.. Rus
set found her very agreeable.
She had big, purple-blue eyes,
hair of the real Roman gold, &
complexion which was undeniably
a work of art, and a soft, Ianguid
voice, whose sylIables dropped
from her lips like gIobules Of sill

'Life is such vacuum' said Miss
Gushington Gordon.

She put out little, sparkling
hand with bewitcbing frankness to
the spectacled student. Mr.. Russet
gave it gentle pressure, and for
got to drop it again.
That was the first day that he
omitted TO write to little Penelope
Joyce, at the red farmhouse in
Raspberry Vale.

At the end of the six weeks he

But just then Deacon Oberne
