gard to the probability Of the moon

just now is an important member o!
the solar family. Something new
may be anticipated in nhermonotnou-
story. The observers of the recent
solar eclipse detected iinitatipns
an atmosphere on her apparently
lifeless surface. This seems to con
firm indications of movement that
have never been accounted for. am
scarcely credited in scientific quar-
ters. Two days after the eclipse, an
observer OF 40 years experience
while looking at the moon, saw a
cloud 100 miles long and 40 or so
miles bruad, lowering over the
"Mare Crisiilth,' presenting misty,
feathery appearance, Enthusiastically

The President will take hand in
the social festivities this season, which
will be opened with the New Years
reception at the White House. Hav.
ing good deal of pride about doing
suc|' things correctly and brilliantly. il
is probable that the round Of recep
tions and dinners viii be in keeping
with the predictions for an unusally
brilliant season. Last winter, while
the President was writing his commu.
nications to Congress and his notes to
personal friends on paper deeply bord.
cred with morning, It was proper that a
degree of restraint should be observed
at the Executive Mansion. The season
OF official mourning was long ago end

from the memory of most people here.

of guests at the White House, the in.

A Hard Business.

One Of the hardest of all business
enterprises is the publishing of news.
paper. 1t is not necessarily so hard,
but is made SO by he carelessness, to
use very moderate term, of the SUBJ
scribers in settling their accounts. Men
who will promptly pay other bills, will
neglect or refuse to pay for their paper.
The newspaper business is not such a
bonanza that the publishers can afford
to furnish the paper for nothing or wait
years for hard.earned pay. 1fa paper
ever misses the subscriber, the pub
Usher is sure to hear of it. but IN many
cases he may wait until his locks whiten
with age before the subscriber will
come around manfully and discharge
his part Of the obligation. We pre-.
sumo many who intend to pay neglect
it until the amount runs up 50 large
that it frightens them. The part of an
honorable man is. if he cannot pay the
whole amount at once, to pay what he
can from time to time, and thus reduce
the amount until it is all settled.-Chi-
fago Skationer and Printer.

LIGHT LITERATURE.

A contributor in last issue Of the
GRAPHIC, entered very earnest plea
tor what is known as "light literature y
but there are points on which he failed
to touch. Admitting all that the writer
claims: that boy who has the m
grained devilishness in his nature suffi-
cient to make thief, desperate or
rowdy, will find means to deve!ope the
predominatlng traits of his character,
whether he reads a dime novel or a
dictionary, still there is one feature
common to all so called light literature
which the writer does not notice. 1t is
this: A continuous course of novel
reading acts on the young mind some
what similar to steady diet of cakes,
puddings and sweetmeats. Mental
dyspepsia sets in and a distaste for
plain mental food is the result. The
memory becomes treacherous, the
mind weakened. and the judgement in
some cases distorted. Excess in any,
thing is dangerous, and unless guided
by moderation, both as to quantity and
quality, tits especially strong in this
one direction. The works of Walter
Scott, Irving. Goldsmith. Charles
Reade, Dickens, Eggleston and others
of that class can hardly be compared
with the blood and thunder, Jesse
James and Claud Duval style of fiction.
Indeed we know of one who was cured
of a taste for the "blood and thunder"
trash by one reading of the Waverly
novels, and has never had pati.nce to
sit down to that kind of food sin ce.
The GRAPHIC believes that as in most
other questions, truth lies between the
two extremes of opinion on this matter.

DUTY.

There are two kinds of content.
Without one or the other any life how
ever successful in a pecuniary way,
will be failure. The kind of conten,
however which is rather to be avoided
than desired is that lazy content which
satisfied with to-day makes no prov
sion for the future. 1t comes properly
under the head of shiftlessness, and is
more common further south where the
elements are more kindly, and the fiat:
"work or freeze-strive OF starve" is o.
less force. But the content" which
accepts present conditions Sheerfully
yet couples ambition and duty there
with, is a happy faculty to be cultivat.
ed and cherished by the posessor.
Speaking of this subject the E,esias
Journal says: MANY people spend
their lives in hunting for a place in the
world that they were never intended to
fill. They never settle down to any,
thing with contented feeling, or feel
that what they are doing is by any
means work suited 10 their abilities.
They have sunny ideal of very noble
life which they would like to reach, in
which their power would have free scope
where they could make a very bright
record; but in their present position,
their life is but humdrum, prosy out
line, in which they can accomplish
nothing worthy or beautiful and there
fore it is of little use to try. So they
60 on discontented with their lot, and
signing for something else. and while
they sigh the years glide by, and they
find at the end they have missed every
opportunity of doing ANYTHING worthy
themselves. The truth is, ones voca-
ton is not some far off possibility. but
the simple round of duties that the
passing hour brings. No day is com.
if we only had eyes to see its
splendor. There is no duty that comes
to our hand but brings us the possibili-
ty Of kingly service"
