The Nights Too Good for Sleep.

So we talked and yarned till grew
sleepy and doZed off, somewhat against
nv will, for the nights are too lovely
to waste in sleep. Nothing can exceed
the beauty Of these northern nights, d
beauty so calm, grand, majestic, almost
awful in its majesty, that there exists
not a man, [ believe, Oh the face of this
earth with spirit so dulled or q mind
so harasssd that he could withstand its
peace-giving power. BY day his trou-
bIes may be too heavy for him, but the
night is more potent than any drug,
than any excitement, to steep the soul
in forgetfulness. You cannot bind the
sweet Influence Of the Pleiades, nor
resist the soothing touch Of mother
Nature when she reveals herself in the
calm watches Of the night. 1t is a
wonderful and strange experience to
lie out under the stars in the solemn,
silent darkness of the forest, to watch
the consultations rise and set, to lie
there gazing up through the branches
of the grand old trees, which have
seen another race dwell beneath their
bough and pass away, whose age makes
the little fretful life Of man seem
insignificantly small; gazing up at
planet after planet, sun beyond sun,
into the profundlty OF space, till this
tiny spcck in the universe, this little
earth with all it's discomfort and dis
cord, its wrangling races, its murmur-
ing millions Of men dwindles into
nothing, and the mind looks out so
foy bnvond that If falls hack stunDaI
with the vastness of the vision which
looms overwhelmingly before it.
The earth sleeps. A silence that
can be felt has fallen over the woods.
The stars begin to fade. A softer and
stronger light wells up and flows over
the scene as the broad moon slowly
floats above the tree tops, shining
white upon the birch trees, throwing
into black shadow the somber pines,
dimly lighting up the barren, and
revealing groteSque, ghost-like forms
of stunted fir anu gray rock. The tree
trunks stand out distinct in the LESSEN
ing gloom the dark pine boughs over
head seem to stoop caressingly towards
YOU. Amid stiffness that is terrify-
ING, man is not afraid. Surrounded
by a majesty that is appalling he
shrinks not, nor is he dismayed. In
q scene of utter loneliness he feels him.
self not to be alone. A sense Of CON-
panionship, sensation of satisfaction,
creeps over him. He feels at once

lightning Flashes.

The union of two clectricities is ac-
cOmpanied by spark. This may be
seen by briskly rubbing O cats back in
dark room, when under favorable at
mOspheric conditions q slight crack
ling sound will be heard, and minute
sparks will be seen. The electricity
generated on the hand is of different
kind to that generated on the cats
fur, and they therefore unite when
they have accumulated sufficiently to
overcome the resistance of the inter-
vening air. In nature we get fine
display Of sparks in the aurora boreal-
is and in the various kinds of light
ming. Ali these remarkable electrical
effects can now be scientifically ex-
planned, and we arc no longer driven
to the myths that were invented by
the ancients to satisfy their keen long
ing to know what all the varied phe-
nomena Of nature were due to. AS
the lightning played around volcanic
crater in those days, Roman youth
would ask, "What causes those blind
ing fashes3" and the Roman father
we caR fancy replying, at is Jupiter
AuIl1uS away HIS CuuHucI OOlIS, " HI
mil" And with this, SO with other
appearances, and Virgil Expresses
their wants when he cXclaims "For
myself, may the lovely MUSES. first,
above all else, take me to themselves
and show me the paths Of heaven and
its stars, the various eclipses Of the
sun and labors of the moon, from
whence the earthquake springs"
We now have our explanations of
these appearances, explanations that
are the outcome Of decades of thou ght
and experiment, and the lightning
flashes above the summit of Vesuvius
we refer rather to the friction between
the newly-condensed water particles,
air, and ashes, than to Jupiter.-.ScS-

Man q Laughing Animal.

Man is said to be the only animal
that can cry, and yet he is not really
n crying creature. He is laughing
and smiling creature. The hours
which bring tears do not come very
often. Some firesides SEQ ten or twen-
ty years in which no one has cause for
weeping. Many hundreds and thou
sands meet with no sorrow for q quar-
ter of century. The days on which
man cries are few compared with all
the days of his life. Man is an animal
that can cry, Lut he is most perfectly
a creature that laughs. Not many
days pass that bring no pleasant smiles
to the majority. There is a column
Of laughter in the daily newspaper
The light dramas of pure and in
genious quality draw large audiences,
while painful tragedy is less popular,
because all mankind would rather
laugh than cry. It ought to be an q
pTiOrs argument in favor of life's in
trinsic sweetness and worth that
man comes up into it with his face
beaming with smiles, and this smile
,widens out as years pass, and the dear
old father laughs and plays with chill
dren, and one merriment like ono elec-
tricity thrills the heart Of infant and
of patriarch.

A Woman Preacher.

Mrs. Booth, the better-half of the
leader of the famous Salvation Army,
is eclipsing her husbands reputation.
She has chosen the aristocratic West
End of London as her special field,
and is accomplishing, as a preacher
among we'll bred folks. what her hus-
band is doing at the opposite pole of
society. The New York Evangelist
contains this week correspondence in
high laudatiOn Of this woman as o
preacher. Whereat the editor ex-
claims: 'Now if this were merely the
careless and off-hand opinion of some
penny-a-liner, strolling tourist in
search of novelties of all sorts, who
would 60 to hear woman preaching
as he would go to see play at the
theater, it would not be worth much.
But fathers and brethren what shall
we say when he who writes thus is
himself grave minister of the gospel,
Il Presbyterian of the straitest sect,
who in the days Of the division was
pronounced old-school man, and mod
orator of the general assembly! Yet
this is the dignified authority which
says have heard great many preach
ers of all denominations, all over the
United States, and l have heard
great many in all sorts Of churches in
London, and have heard Mrs. Booth
every Sabbath since she began in the
West End-about dozen OF moro
times-I can freely say that for SIM
pie effectiveness, in the line and for the
end for which the preaching Of the
gospel was ordained, | have never
heard her superior, and rarely her
equal. God is putting the seal OF
His approval upon her preaching"

The Teeth OF the Ancient Greeks.

LOnuOu NcWS.
One Of the most remarkable features
Of the discovery of the band of The
bans who fell at Ch@ranea is that, &C.
cOrding to the report, all the teeth OF
each member of the sacred band are
sound and complete. Either these
gallant patriots were exceptionally
lucky, or the condition of teeth in old
Greece was enviably different from
that of later and more degenerate tc
days. The Romans were well ac-
quainted with the evils that attend on
the possession of teeth and had some
little knowledge Of the use of gold in
counteracting these evils. II we re-
member rightly, an exception to the
rule OF not burying precious objects
with departed Romans was made in
favor of gold that had been used for
stopping teeth. We moderns may
compare favorably with the skill of
our dentists, but we cannot pretend to
rival the defenders of Thebes in their
superiority to the necessity for these
gentlemen. Raro indeed are the hap
py mortals Of to-day who can truly
boast that their teeth are in the per-
feet condition that nature intended,
and that the craft Of the dentist has
never been employed over them. 1t
would be exceedingly difficult to se-
lect from our army, or any modern ar
my, three hundred men with teeth as
sound as those Of the Theban warriors
are reported to be.
