Juliet,

Helena Faucit Martin, in Black woods Magazine.
Women are deeply in debt to Shakespeare
for all the lovely, noble things he has put
into his women's hearts and mouths, but
surely for nothing more than for the words
in which Juliet's rerly is couched. Only
one who knew Of what true women is capa.
be in frankness, in courage, and self-surren.
der when her heart is possessed by noble
love, could have toched with such delicacy,
such infinite charm of mingled reserve and
artless frankness, the avowal of 80 fervent
yet SO modest love, tho secret Of which
had been SO strangely stolen from her. AS
the whole scene is the noblest pecan to love
ever written, SO is what Juliet now says
supreme in subtlety of feeling and express
sion. where NIL is beautiful Watch all the
fluctuations of emotion which prevade it and
you will understand what task is laid up
on the actress to interpret them, not in
voice and tone only, important as these are,
but also in manner and in action. The
generous frankness of the giving, the timid
drawing back, fearful of having given too
much unsought; the perplexity Of the
whole, all summed up In that sweet entreaty
tor pardon With which it closes, -

A singular accident befel q Scotch clergy
man while preaching in a Nonconformist'
chapel at Shepherds Bush recently. He
had a vigorous style, and showed himself
zealous'y feryent in driving home to his in
terested hearers the solemn words and
moral Of his text. Hands and eyes were
both brought into play in enforcing the
winged words" of the portly preacher, and
now and again he would lean his whole
weight on the reading stand gazing intent
~ into the faces of his auditors to deepen
the impression of his counsels. While he
was once thus gazing the audience were
startled By seeing the reading stand torple
over the platform, followed headlong by
tho energetic preacher himself. Many
rushed to his assistance, but, although the
fall was one of about seven feet, the minis
ter quickly regained his footing, and at
once returned to his place at the restored
reading stand. Before resuming the awk-
wardly interrupted discourse, however, the
preacher remarked with quaint "nawk-
mess" which the congregation seemed to
appreciate, that those who leaned upon
the master would be better sustained than
he had been while leaning upon the read
ing stand of His servant.

What can lie Seen With 4 Small Teles.
cope:
From Harper's MAGAZINE for March.

11OGl oaIpoI MaSoLlno lOE MArcA
The curiosity to see tie heavenly bodies,
through great telescopes is SO wide spread
that we are apt to forget how much can be
seen and done with small ones. The fact
is that large proportion of the astronomi-
cal observations of past time have been
made with what We should now regard as
very small instruments, and good deal of
the solid astronomical work of the present
time is done with meridion circles, the ap-
perlures Of which ordinarily range from
four to eight inches. One of the most con-
spicnous examples in recent times of how a
moderate sized instrument may be utilized
is afforded by the discovery Of double
stars made by S. w. Durham, of Chicago.
Provided with q little six inch telescope, pro-
cured at his own expense from the Messrs.
CLARK, he has discovered double stars, so
difficult that they had es-
capped the scrutiny Of Maedler and the
Strives, and gained for himself one of the
highest positions among the astronomers of
the day engaged in the observations of these
objects. 1t was with this little instrument
that on Mount Hamilton, Oal.-the site OF
tie future great Lick Observatory-he dis
covers forty eight new double stars which
had remained unnoticed by all previous OBJ
servers.
First among the objects which shows
beautifully through moderate instruments
stands the moon. People who want to see
the moon at an observatory generally make
tho mistake of looking when the moon is full,
and asking to see it through the largest
telescope. Nothing can then he made out
but brilliant blaze of light, notified with
dark spots, and crossed by irregular bright
lines. The best time to view the moon is
near or before the first quarter, or when
she is from three TO eight days old. The
last quarter is, of cource equally favorable,
so fur as seeing is concerned, only we must
be up after midnight to see her in that posi-
ton. Seen through three or four inch
telescope, q day or two before the first
quarter. about half an hour after sunset,
and with i,,agnifying power between 50
and 100, the moon is one of the most BEAU
tiful objects in the heavens. Twilight
softens her radiance SO that the eyes is not
dazzled, as it will be when the sky is entire
ly dark. The general aspect she then pre-
sents is that of D hemisphere of beautiful
chased silver carved out in curious round
patterns with more than human skill. If.
however, one wishes to see the minute de-
tails of the lunar surface, in which many
of our astronomers are now 80 deeply in
terested, he must use higher magnifying
power. The general beautiful effect is
then lessered, but more details are seen,
Still, it is hardly necessary to seek for .
very large telescope for any Investigation
of the lunar surface. very much doubt
whether any one has ever seen anything on
the moon which could not be made out in
a clear, steady atmosphere with q six inch
telescope of the first class.

you how you can rest, but you must rest or
die. An American at forty is at most a

The Coed Little Boy and the Drum
From the TROY Tines

A little boy wanted drum. His moth
er, wishing to give him an impressive les
son, suggested that if he should pray for it
he might receive one; so at night, when
ready for bed, he knelt down and prayed:
':New lay me down to sleep,
Il want drum.)
1pray the Lord my soul to keep,
Il want drun.)
IT should die before Iwake,
uwant DRUM
1pray the Lord my eoul to take,
uwa1t drum.) .
His father, who had been let into the SO.
cret. had meanwhile quietly placed drum
en- the bed. AS the youngster rose. and hia
eyes tell on tho drum, he exclaimed in an
emphatic manner, that banished all 0, ious
thoughts from tho minds Of his listeners:
where the devil did that drum come from?'
The anticipated benefit from that lesson
may probably be considered lost.
