Her Terrible Adventure.

There we're party OF four couples
coming oyer on the Sarcelito boat, last
Sunday, and the prettiest girl Of the
gushers looked up at Mount Tamalpais
and said:
'Oh, that horrid, horrid mountain.
I had the most frightful adventure up

Who He Was.

One of the book-keepers;for Detroit
lumber frn was recently sent to the
north woods to transact some business
for bis employers. He is a man Of good
mind and strong limb, and has hung
about gymna Sums long enough to work
up his muscles and understand how to
strike from the shoulder. He reached
a camp belonging to another itm just
at noon one day, and all but one Of the
loggers gave him a hearty welcome.
This one seemed out of sorts an bent
On mischief. After throwing out re-

The Universe.


Professor Proctor closes his lecture
on The Star Depths with the follow
ing quotation from Jean Paul Frieder.
ich Richter:
God called up a man into the vest-
bule OF heaven, saying: Come thou
hither and sec the glory of Ny house,
And 10 the servants that stood around
His throne He said: Take him and
uadress him from the robes Of flesh,
cleanse his vision and pat new breath
Int his Hostrils; only touch not with
aDy change bis human heart-the heart
that weeps and trembles.' 1t was done
and with mighty angel for his guide,
the man stood ready fer his Infinite
voyage; and from the terraces Of heaven,
without sound or farewell, at once they
wheeled into endless space. Some
times, with solemn flight of angel wing,
they fed thro ugh saharas of darkness,
thrhogh wilderness of death that divided
the worlds life; sometimes they swept
along frontiers that were quickenlng un-
der prophetic motion. Then from a
distance that is counted only in heaven,
light dawned for time through a
sleepy film ; BY unutterablc pace the
light swept to them, they, by unuttera-
bic pace, to the light. In a moment
the rushing Of planets was upon them
in moment the blazing Of suns was
around them. Then came eternitles Of
twilight that revealed, but were not
revealed On the right hand aud the left
lowered mighty consultations. that by
self,repetitons and answers from afar;
that By counter positions built up trium-
phal gates, whose architraYes, whose
archways---aorizontal upright-rested,
rose, at altntide By spans that seemed
ghostlY from infnitude. Without
measure were the architraves, past
number were the archways, beyond
memory the paths. Within were stairs
that scaled the eternities below; adovc
was below-below was above to tho
man stripped Of gravitating body-depth
was swallowed up 10 height unsurmoun-
table, height was swallowad up 10 depth
unfathomable. Suddenly, as they thus
rode from infinite to infnits-suddenly
as they thus tilted over abysmal worlds
, "a mighty cry arose, that systems more
mysterious, that consultations more
glorious, that worlds more blllowY,
other heights and other depths. were
coming, were nearly. were at hand!
Then the man sighed and stopped,
shudered and wept. His overburdened
heart uttered itself in tears, and he
said: Angel, 1 will 90 no further. Fol
the spirit Of man acheth with this infn-
! ity. Insuferable Is the glory Of the
3 universe. Letm lie down in the grave
and hide myself from the persecution o!
= the infinite; for end there is none.' And
from all the listening stars that shone
! around issued a choral voice: The man
speaks truly; end there is none, tha
: even yet we have heard Of. End there
is none!' The angel solemnly deman'
ded: is there indeed no end, and is
: this the sorrow that killes you!. Blu;

THE BEAUTY OFTHE EVENING SKY
Telescope Contemplation OF the Moon,

Providence journal Feb, g.

Telescope Contemplation OF the Moon,
Jupiter, Venus and Mars.
Providence journal. Feb. 6.
The planetary aspect Of the evening sky
has not been SO beautiful for many years,
and the show is now approaching its cul-
mination. The heavens were glorious TO
behold during the evenings of the last
week. The moon commencing with the
I'd, paid her respects on successive even-
ines 10 Venus, Jupiter, and Mars,
and, excepting Oh one evening, there were
no closds to mar the exceptional beauty
of the scene. NO observers could lift
their eyes to the golden mysteries en-
scribed above without being impressed
with the exceeding lovliness of
the shining throng. Sunday evening, how
ever, carried off the palm for the remark
able clcarness of the sky, the purity of the
atmosphere and the unruffled serenity of
the elemental conditions. The night was
one dear to the heart of the astronomers.
At G:3G the celestial arch presented a
charming picture, the trio of planets
glowing in the west the moon, one day
past the first quarter. shining from the
zenith with the clustering Pleiades not far
away, Orion with his glitttering briuiants
filling the eastern sky with sparkling
light, and the matchless Sirius shining
in the southeast. The telescope view
Of separate portions of the picture
was superb beyond expression.
Venus, when the tar-seeing eye Of the in
strument was turned upon her, was an OBJ
ject of dazzling brightness. nearly the size
of the moon, her disk half-enlightened, as
our luminary looks at her last quarter.
Jupiter was splendialy brilliant, his belts
radiant in prsmatio hueS. his great red
spot visible, and his moons attending their
giant chief, two on one size and two on
the other. Saturn's peerless ringed orb,
with his belts and three moons, was the
next study. The telescope was then turn
ed to the moOn,;t portion of the terminator
or boundary between the bright and
shaded portions being brought into the
field. With a high power she seemed
SO near that one by reaching out
might almost touch her surface.
There is nothing ill astronomy mere
impressive than the utter desOlation
and death that reign Oh the chalk like sur
face of this dead planet. There are no
clouds to diversity the sky, 20 twilight to
prOlong the day, no sound TO break the
eternal silence. Immense craters, deep
tissures, rounded hillocks. and the scars OF
mighty connections are all that remain OF
regions that were probably habitabie like
the earth in times gone by. The view on
the ternlinatov was the most interesting.
Instead of the unbr0licn line of light that
marks its appearance to the naked eye, the
moons rough edge was formed of branch
ing horns Of radiant light, like the antle's
OF a sta. oY huge formations Of coral.
These we-e t!lc SUBMITS of lunar noun
tains, lighted up by the sun, which was
just rising to this part of the moon. The
bright mountain peaks were weird ana
wonderful as well us beautiful. though
their only admirers were observers $40, 900
