A Bad Blunder.

At church eociable some time ago
theological student was detailed to assist
young lady, whom he had long admired
from afar, in making out new Sabbath
school library catalogue.
The prospective minister found the task
by no means an unpleasant one, as the
charming young creature read him the title
Of each book from the title page, while he
delightedly copied it into the catalogue.
before him. In fact there fitted through
the mind of the sedate and rather abashed
youth several times the question whether the
aforesaid maiden, with her pretty figure
and bright eyes, could not be induced to
become the "sharer of his labors and tolls"
II believe would ask her tonight if
only dared, ," thought the young man. "But
1 don't dare, so there's the end of it," And
with gloomier face than before he continued
his work, calling out, Next book?" almost
as mechanically ,as fast as he had transcribed
the former title. He was aroused from his
reverie by the following rejoinder to one of
his demands for next book"
"Why don't you do it?''
He started as though the girl had been
reading his thoughts.
'Do what?' he inquired, by way of draw
ing her out. But the young lady replied
nota word. To gain time he again said:
"Next book?''
''No time like the present." said the
maiden. with an encouraging smile.
Il see it is Of no use to hide my thoughts
from you, Miss 1.," he said, struggling
with his embarrassment. ''Your last two
remarks have shown me how perfectly you
realize my state of mind. will, therefore,
follow your advice and embrace the present
opportunity of asking you whether you are
willing to accept me as your partner for life.
Your answer, am confident from these re-
marks, will be affirmative"
It was the young lady's turn to be en-
barassed.
''To what do you refer?" she said.
''To the two sentences in which you so
delicately blended words of advice and en-
couragement on this most important of sub
jects, when you said, why don't you do it?'
and, No time like the present. :"
The girl looked puzzelled for moment
and then burst into merry laugh. "Why,
those were the titles of the books you
called for. Well, you have got yourself
into a pretty fix and she laughed at the
discounted student maliciously.
"Miss NJ" said the young man, spring.
ing up with sudden earnestness, II beg
you will consider the words which cannot
now recall. Be mine and shall be su-
premely happy. Refuse me and you will
make me miserable for life. Will you be
mine?" ':Yes,y yes; don't make such a noise
about;t or somebody will overhes = you.

Planets in April.
From the Providence Journal.

L IOU1 1l0 IION4(ltuCc OOuIuA1.
Jupiter is evening star until the 22d, when,
coming into conjunction with the sun, he
bids farewell to the evening sky, and, pass
ing to the SUMS western side, commences
his role Of morning star. The prince of
planets appears now in lowly guise, for his
dimensions are small, being farthest away,
he will soon be hidden in the brightness of
his rays. But the planetary interest of the
month eliminates around this giant orb,
the great twenty year conjunction of Jupi-
ter and Saturn, in the sign Taurus occurring
about Z o'clock on the morning of the 22d,
when Jupiter passes nearly one degree and
a third north of Saturn. It is called the
twenty year conjunction, because that time
will pass before the phenomenon is repeat.
ed, and centuries will roll en- before the
planets will pass SO near each other in
the sign Taurus. The present con-
junction is made still more note
worthy, since Jupiter. two hours after his
conjunction with Saturn, comes into con-
junction with the sun. Saturn having
passed his conjunction with the sun just
twelve hours previous. Three important
events, therefore. occur within the space
of twelve hours. They are the conjunction
Of Saturn and the sun, the close conjunc-
ton of Jupiter and Saturn, and the con-
junction of Jupiter and the sun. These
are rare times for studying planetary move
ments, for phenomenas are occurring that
will not be repeated for centuries to come.
A student of the stars at this period of un-
usual activity can hardly help feeling that
the positions of these brother and sister
orbs may indirectly influence the planet on
which we dwell, in different way, howev-
hot ,,oor1o1 n,,f;, kho div
of ancient astrologers. Unfortunately this
triple array of conjunctjons will be invisible
to terrestrial observers, the planets being too
near the sun to be seen. Imagination must
sketch the brilliant picture of the sun
and the two great spheres most nearly
resembling their mighty lord in such close
proximity. To those familiar with the con-
6guration of the stars, the bright pictures
made by planetary movements are as WV
idly and accurately impressed on the minds
eye as are the actual scenes on the eye of
ordinary observers. These triple conjunc-
Gons will as surely be painted on the celes-
tial concave, though invisible to the hu-
man vision, as the sun will rise on the 23rd
with the two planets as morning stars on
his western side.
The theory of planetary action as pow
erful force in the production of sun spots
is more strengthened than weakened by
careful observation during the last month.
The war of the elements has not ceased.
The sun continues to be blackened and
spotted in marvellous fashion, rough and
ragged cavernous depths of huge dimen-
sions marring his brilliant disc, and tongues
of fame bursting in all directions from
this agitated boundary line. No astrono-
mer is wise enough to explain the cause of
the intense solar activity, while almost all
astronomers agree that the disputed condi-
son of the sun is reflected in the disastrous
meteorological phenomena on the earth.

HOSE, ANNA!

She talked so gay and witty,
That it seemed real pity
For her to step on piece Of gritty,
Horrid, hateful, old banana peel,
And heavenward toss each dainty heel,
For we'll she knew. as up they flew,
(Although the view was seen by few,)

A hole in her hose

The mustang of the American
continent has its counterpart in
the "brumble" of Australia, large
herds of which exist in the int eri-

SO numerous that they have often
been destroyed and boiled down for
the sake of their tallow and hides; !;
and in some Of the newly settled
districts they swarm In such num-
bers that She sauattsrs have to

age against their inroads. Brum-

horses being as necessary as the
destruction of kangaroos or rabbits.
The sport of capturing and tanning
these animals, however, has
attracted a good many adventurous
spirits, who adopt tactics some-
what similar to those adopted by
the Inhabitants of Mexico and
South America. The hardness
and strength and size of these
brumbi3s are remarkable, and
when trained they are of consider.
