The Planet Mercury.

In addition to the planetary display, which
is now regaling US in unusual brilliance, Mer-
curry will put in an appearance this week to
enhance our interest in the exhibition.
Mercury may be seen, on every clear even
ing this week, below and to the right of Ve-
nus, about 30 degrees distant.
A line from Saturn to Jupiter continued five
times beyond, vii, terminate very near Mercu.
ry.
As Mercury sets about o'clock it becomes
obscure some time previous; therefore it will
be best to look for it by half past six.
Before six it will be difficult to see it with
the unaided eye in consequence of the bright
ness of the twilight
These particular directions and remarks are
given for the reason that Mercury is seldom
seen in this latitude, and still less in higeer
latitudes, so that astronomers in England
who have watched for it with care, have
passed their lives without obtaining one clear
view.
The haziness of that climate doubtless be d
an influence in the case great, if not greater,
than the obliquity of the planets orbit to the
horizon
The orbit of Mercury is exceedingly eccen-
trio, the distance of the sun varying from 80
million miles to 46 million.
1t is now at its mean distance nearly, and its
orbit making large angle with our horizon
the opportunity for seeing it is very good
Were it at its greatest apparent distance
from the sun, 27 degrees it would show better,
as it then would not become obscure by near
approach to the horizon before the end of twi
light; but when its greatest eastern elongation
for the year occurs in the month of October
its apparent orbit makes so small an angle
with the horizon that the planet will not be
seen to so good advantage as at the present
visit With this addition we have spread be-
fore us in one view all the planets which are
ever visible to the naked eye excepting Mars
alone; and very many years will come and go
before the like will be again exhibited.
Notwithstanding its diminutive size Mer-
curry appears very bright, partly from its near
ness to the sun, and partly because so large a
portion of his disk is illuminated. Viewed
through a telescope he would appear like the
moon near her first quarter, while Venus ap-
pears as crescent like the moon two days old.
The difference in their apparent diameters in
the various parts of their orbits is immense;
both relative and positive. Mercury's semi.
diameter while he is visible, is about four sec
onds, not varying one quarter from that: We
nus varies from seconds to 26; but the rela-
tive or apparent variation is vastly greater,
Suppose the apparent disk of Venus-which
would then be nearly round-when it first ap-
pears in the western horizon to be represented
by silver half dime; it would require circle
twice the diameter of a dollar, say the size of
the top rim of teacup, to cover 1t, when at its
greatest brilliancy; and its intensity of light
increases in a still greater ratio; while Mer-
curry varies not more than one quarter either
in magnitude, or form of disk, or in brilliancy,
during the time in which it can be seen.

PHILADELPHIA Press: The President
has undone what he never ought to have
done at all-he has recalled the nomination
of Mr.. Forster for District Attorney of New
York. There was never any COOL reason
in party policy or personal claim or public
Service for the selection. 1t could only be
explained upon the theory of an intended
blow at Mr. Conkling and large element of
the party-a theory which involved bad pol
itics and worse reform. Upon every consid-
Grafton of personal merit, political expedi-
ency and civil service reform General Wood
ford ought to have been renominated and
the wrong done him should be repaired even
now unless better place is reserved for
him. Colonel Shepard, who is mentioned,
has taken little part in politics and is not OBJ
noxlous to any element, and if General
Woodford is not to be reappointed, his Sc
lection might be as acceptable as any.

AMPUTATION OF THE LEG.
The old Family Physician at Fault-Dr.
David Kennedy the Successful Surgeon.

Money is the universal necessity, and none but
cynic or fool will affect to despse it. Mr.. Abram
Ellsworth, of Port Even, Ulster county, N. Y, had
realized this truth. His disease involved the whole
OF his thigh-bone, and the suffering man looked for
ward, not without apparent reason, to death his
only deliverer. His family physician refused to AM
putate the limb-asserting that the operation would
kill the patient on the spot. DR.. David KENNE-
DY, of Rondout, N. Y, who was consulted, held
different opinion and amputated the limb. The
Doctor then administered freely his great Blood
Specific FAVORITE REMEDY to afford tone and
strength to the system prevent the return of the dis
ease, and Mr.. Ellsworth remains to this day in the
bloom of health. The gentleman's disease was the
offspring of foul blood, and Kennedys FAVORITE
REMEDY purified the blood and restored to him
the power more to enjoy his life. Are you suf
ferng from any disease traceable to the cause?

Children Of PIOus Parents.

George +. Belts, well.known New York
lawyer, read a paper recently before the New
York historical society, on the late chan
cellor Erastus G. Benedict Speaking of
his ancestry, Mr.. Belts said al know there
is popular sentiment that the children of
religious parents are more apt than others
to go astray and become atheists or profit
gates, and that this is especially so with the
sons of clergymen. 1t is fallacy, gross
and unfounded perversion Of the truth.
1t is contrary to reason, to revelation, to
fact. These who recognize as the natural
sequence Of events that the children of
Mohammedans should become Mohamme-
dams, and of Buddhists Buddhsts, that the
children of Romanist or Protestant parents
should follow the religion of their fathers,
yet ridicule the belief that the religion thus
ingrained with the earliest thoughts and
nodded into the young formative life can be
a vitalizing power to control and regulate
the being. Experience shows that it is.
That the child with the example of true
faith and an humble walk daily before him,
is the most apt TO adopt these as his patterns
and to strive to emulate them. The mem.
bership of our churches, our theological
seminaries, our pulpits, derive their largest
most constant, and most reliable supply from
this source Of religious household and the
influence of the home family circle. And
while there are doubtless striking exceptions
which attract attention, and by their notice
able character have given currency TO the
fallacy; while there may be found an Aaron
Burr, descendant of Jonathan Edwards
yet it would be as absurd to attribute to the
religion of the parents the atheism or profit
gacy of child as to argue that because Johr
Newton came to the ministry from the decl
of a slave ship that slave ships would form
the best school for furnishing ministers O.
the gospel. II there be any truth or powe
in the idea of heredity, let us claim and hav,
the benefit of it for Christianity also, ant
not allow all its power and its logic to b.
used exclusively against it,

Gather the Children In.

1t has often been noticed in churches
which have made revivals a part of their
regular economy that these revivals served
two purposes first, that of arousing the at
tention of those who were careless as to any
religious duties, and secondly, of bringing
out into confirmed Christian faith and
hope those whose attentive and tender de-
meanor under long-continued religious infu-
ences gave reason 10 believe that they were
already either within or very near to the
kingdom of heaven. They came very will
lingy when the invitation reached them :
Come, for all things are now ready" They
are, of course, those who are brought up un-
der the care of pious parents, aud who have
received the instruction OF the Sunday
school, and whose hearts have responded to
the frequent appeals to a Christian life
made to the public congregation. 1t is al
most inevitable that the former class should
wait for some shock like that of revival,
before they will consent to put themselves
under the influences which should lead TO
their conversion. But if the latter class
have to wait for revival, it is to the shame
of the Christian church. In every Sunday
school there are a number of young people
whom the teacher would recognize as prop
erly disposed toward religious influences.
They are attentive, thoughtful. They seem
not to be offended, but to take pleasure when
general instructions are given bearing on a
Christian life. They are regular attendants
at church and Sunday-school They are ev-
identity trying, in considerable measure, to
do what is right They never fail of their
form Of prayer before retiring to sleep,
They say, or would say, they want to be
Christians. OF many such the pastor or SUI
perintendent would say that he hoped they
were already Christians. Now, it is wicked
shame 10 the church that IT should allow
such souls to drift and drift along year after
year, waiting for revival, without gather
ing them into the communion. Pastor, su
perintendent, teacher, and most especially
parent, do you know such under your care
Gather them in. They are waiting to be
gathered into the church. They are in dan.
ger while left outside; in danger of relaps
ing, through your neglect, into heedlessness
and sin There is terrible lack in our re.
ligious teaching Of personal faithfulness. A
class, school, a congregation is told of the
duty Of the religious life. But how faith
fully have you, teacher or superintendent
taken those by themselves whom you hope
! are already or almost Christians, and tried
