And # men thwart thee take no heed,
And il men hate thee have no care;
Sing thou song and do thy deed.
Hope thou thy hope and pray thyprayer,
And CLAIM no crown they viii not give,
Nor bays they grudge thee for thy hair.
Keep thou thy scul-sworn steadfast oath
And to thy heart DO true thy heart;
What thy soal teaches learn to know,
And play out thine appointed part;
And thou shall reap as thou shall SOW;
Nor helped nor hindered in thy growth,
To thy full stature thou shalt grow.
Fix on the futures goal thy face,
Nor let thy feet be Iured to stray

And nowhere tarry by the way,
Until at last the end is won,
And thou may'st look back from tby plscs

ComposItIon Of Camets.

In a recent work by Prof. Newcomb
gave some interesting points relative
to the physical constitution of comets,
and said that theory Of this, to be
both complete and satisfactory, must
be founded on the properties of matter
as made known to us here at the
surface of the earth; that is, we must
show what forms and what continual
tons of known substance would, If
projected into celestial spaces, present
the appearance of comet. He held
that this has never yet been complete
~ done. Theories without mum Der
have been propounded, but they fail to
explain some Of the phenomena, or
explain them in a manner not con-
sistent with the known laws Of matter
and force. He then proceeds to con-
slider those properties which are to
some extent sustained by facts and
to have most probability n their favor.
The simplest form of these bodies is
seen in the telescope comets, which
consist of minute particles of a cloudy
or vaporous appearance. Now, we
know that masses that present this
appearance at the surface of the earth
where we can examine them, are COM
posed of detached particles Of solid or
liquid matter. Clouds of vapor, for
instance. are composed of minute
drops Of water, and smoke of minute
particles of carbon. Analogy would
lead US to suppose that the telescope
comets are of che same constitution.
They, are thousands of miles in diam
eter, and yet the smallest stars can be
seen through them. The strongest
evidence of their constitution is af-
forded by the phenomena of meteoric
showers. The only alternative to
this theory is that the comet is mass
of true gas, continuous throughout its
whole extent. This gaseous theory
derives its main support from the
spectroscope, which shows the spec
trum of the telescope comets to con-
sist Of bright bands, the mark of an
incandescent light. He holds the gas
eous theory to be unsatisfactory.
Then "Why does mass Of vapor, the
tail, always fly away from the sum-" is
one to which science has not yet
been able to return conclusive an

of the wicked. They cut the city in
all directions. and are of course only
to be crossed at regular intervals by

the stone pillars to which the boats

mingling of town life with the life Of
the river is curious enough in the

A cor espondent of tho Cincinnati
Commerc al- Gdsettc recently had an inter
view with Mr. Isaac Il. Purnell, Of Rich
mond, Ind, who until years ago lived
at Millersburg, KY, whero the Stanwood
sisters (Mrs. Blaine and Mrs. McKim)
taught school. Hs says If there was ever
breath or rumor in any way dis
creditable to Blaine or his wifo he would
have certainly heard II, 80 sweet morscl
would IL have boon for village gossip.
Blaine taught in military school at
Blue Lick springs, not far distant from
Millersburg and tho president of that
school was also tho president of the
female seminary In Aillersburg, In which
tho Stanwood sisters were employed.
Ono of the girls married q merchant
named William MoKim, and the othor
married Blaine, in the parlor of the soIni-
nary. which was on the opposite side of
the block in which his parents resided.
Like most Qf tho other villagers, ho was
present to witness the ceremony and tho
departure of the party in hacks for Paris
or Cynthiana, whore they took the cars
for their wedding tour. There was
nothing hasty or sub rosa about tho
marriage, nor did hc ever hear 1t init
mated that thore was tho lightest indis-
cretion connected with tho courtship.
Hence he has not the slightest hesitancy
in branding the charges of the Indianapo-
lis Sentinel as an ntrocious slander, and
his son, whom your correspondent subse-
quently met OH tho street, said that his
mothers recollection of tho marriage
was just as distinct rs that of his father,

Tho sand has been tax on from under
the foot of the gentlemen who claim to
be republicans Of such exquisite temper
that they are unable to support Mr..
Blaine for the highest office. Tho truth
seems to be that our distinguished
friends were pretty full of their own
glory at Chicago, and they took up some
OF their time in threatening the Blaine
men with the coming man, the spotless
reformer, the loveliest of his sex, Grover
Cleveland. They did not scare the
republicans SO much as they impressed
the democrats; and tho argument in
the democratic convention that tho
ringstor who had tho governor of
Now York in their bag made the most
effective use of was that Cleveland
was the man upon whom the republican
cranks would rally with enthusiasm.
This fact, next to tho administration OF
