Growing Old.

What can be sadder than to feel
the chill Autumn Of life coming on
when the shady side of the valley
has been reached, and the eye is
turned backward over the green
and sunlit fields which exist In
memory alone. How sadly settles
down upon the human heart the
sorrowful truth that the brightest
and best Of existence has fled. The
tear will unbidden start as we
think of those years replete with
gladness now gone forever-those
clear delightful years before we
trod the rough and rugged road OF
experience, and bit off more than
we could masticate. We call to
mind how the cold clammy truth
was revealed to US at one time,
that in gathering the full-tl0wn
roses of life, too oft we gather also
the feverish and irritable humble
bee nesting in It's petals. How
freshly comes back to US the men,
ory Of that bright Autumnal day
when the sky was one vast sea Of
golden clouds-that day when We
made some scientific experiments
with what is called three card
monte, and went home without
our overcoat. We were making an
estimate last evening of the value
of q few items of experience We
now have on hand, and among the
more valuable ones we will name
the folio wing: Cost of experiments
with mixed drinks, $1,000. Ex.
penses of calling large healthy
man q liar, $50. Experience with
ostensibiy disabled hornets, $S75.
Little lessons in investigating diff
ferent games of chance, with q
view to making them q business,
$2,500. Experiments with water
melons, guarded by irritable bull
dogs, $525. Cost Of winning the
love and confidence of an orphan
mule, $500. Cost of unavailiDg Of
forts to prevent badness, $783. 20.
Expense Of personal investigation
Of lotteries. $3.50. I8. Actual cost of
obtaining thirteen dollars worth of
fame, which is new for sale at the
above price, and still in good
working order, though slightly tar
nished, ST., $3.50. .-.Nye's Boomerang.

7IB SKY IN 1882.
Another Intsrssting Year for Star.Gazsrs--

until December, but the astrono-
Msrs are already preparing for
their observations Of it. In fact,
they began their preparations

Venus is meant the passage of that

Aomical measurements. Modern
estimates Of this distance have
varied between $500, 600 miles
and 91,0o0, 900 miles. Since the
transit Of 1874 1t has been put Ut
about 81, ,s00, 900 miles, but the as

A Story Of ] snny Lind.

In 1847 Gutla Grisi and Jenny
Lind were singing in Londop, but
vt different places. Each star
struggled to outshine the other,
and those who one evening went
into ecstasies over Crisis "Nor
ma" were the next evening en-.
raptured with Lind's "Casta
Dlva.n Such was the rivalry that
Il was not expected that they
would sing together In public
concert. But Queen Victoria,
thinking 1t q shame that two sing
ers 90 eminent should be separated
By . petty jealousy, requested
both to appear at court concert; !;
Of course they complied with the
request. The Queen cordial
IL welcomed them togeth-
er for the first time. She
then gave the signal for the
cencert TO begin. As Jenny Lind
Was the younger Of the two, it had
been arranged that she should sing
1lfst. With perfect confidence in
her powers, che stepped forward
and began. But, CHANGING to
glance at Grisi, she saw the South
ron's malignant gaze fastened upon
her. The fiercsness of her look a.
most paralyzed her. Her courage
left her, her voice trembled, and
everything before her eyes dark
ened. She became so faint that
she nearly fell. By the utmost ex-
ertion OF her will, however, che
succeeded In finishing her aria.
The painful silence that followed
it, CONCLUSIONS silence even no.
iiceable whore those present
are sed-convlnced her
she had made q failure. The convic-
tton was confirmed by the triumph
ant expression on Crisis counten-
Ance. Despite the semi.torpidity
Of her senses, she realized that the
failure meant lost glory, the de.
struction of her happiness, and the
modification and grief of her par
ents and friends. Suddenly some.
thing-it seemed like q voice from
hsaven-whispered, ''Sipg one Of
the old songs In your mother
tongue" She caught at the idea
~ an inspiration, which had flashed
into her mind between the termi-
nation Of the vocal part of the aria
and the accompanies final chords.
She. unnotioed by the company,
aeked him to rise, and took
the vacated seat. For o few sec.
onds she suffered her fingers to
wander over the keys In q low
prelude. Then she began to sing.
Her selection was q little prayer
which, in the long ago, she had
loved above all other songs in her
childhood's repertoire. She had
not thought Of 1t for years. AS she
sang she was no longer in the pres
ence of royalty, but in her father
land, surrounded by those who
listened not to criticise. Not one
word of those before her understood
the words of the "prayer," but the
plaintlvensss of the melody and
ths inspired tones OF the pure, sweet
voice brought the moisture to ev-
cry eye. There was the silence
-of Admiring wonder. When
having finished the "prayer," she
lifted her mild blue eyes to her
rival, whose flaming orbs had 60
disconcertsd her, she found no
fierce expression on her counter
ance, but, instead, Q tear diamond.
Ing the long black eyelashes. A
moment after, with the impulsive-
1ess charaoterizing the children OF
the tropics. 0risi rushed to Jenny
1ind's eide, placed her arm around
the girls neck, and kissed her, re-
gardlsss of the lookers.on.
