PIaint of the Mother-in-Law,

Who is it woos my daughter long
And breaks my rest with midnight song;
And as the winters slowly roll
Burns yards of gas and tons of coall
My SON
in-law.
Who takes my darling from my side.
A happy laughing, lovely bride,
And to their cottage by the brook
Takes me along to wash and eookY
My SON
in-law.
Who is it that from time to time
Strikes me for dollar, half and dimel
And then, with humoF scant and mean,
Calls me old Granny Bombazinel
My SON
in.law.
Who fingers at the festive cup,
While lonely for him sit up;
And meet him cropping for the door,
Along the smooth piazza foorl
My SON
inlay.
Who, when he takes a summer trip,
Contrives to give "raamma" the slip;
That, while DER sea and land he'll roam,
She minds his children ten at homel
My SON
in-law.

He knelt beside her pillow
In the dead watch of the night.
And he heard her gentle breathing,
But her face was still and white;
And on her poor, wan cheek tear
Told how the heart can weep;
And he said, My love was weary
God bless her; she's asleep"

Now doth the stylish woman feel
Cold chills run down her back
And straightway runneth she in haste
To get her sealskin saeque.

He knelt beside her gravestone
In the shuddering autumn night,
And he heard the grasses rustic,
And his face was thin and white;
And through his heart the tremor ran
OF grief that canAot weep;
And he said My love was weary
God bless her, she's asleep" -

A Procession Of sun-Spots.

Everybody who watched the sun
with telescope last summer must have
wondered at the great belt OF spots
living across the southern part OF the
disk during the last half Of July.
Several of the spots and groups were
Of extraordinary size, and their arrange
ment was very singular. When the
belt extended completely across the sun,
there was visible at one time almost
every Characteristic form that sun-spets
present. There was the yawning black
chasm with sharply defined yet ragged
edges, vast enough to swallow up the
whole earth, with room to spare, and
surrounded by q regular penumbral
border as evenly shaded as an artist
could have made it; there was the double
or triple spot whose black centers,
though widely separated from one
another, were tangled. as 1t were, in one
twisted and torn veil of penumbra, or
connected by long, shadowy bands;
there was the monstrous spot OF
qrotesaue form surrounded by crowd
Of smaller spots of even more
fantastic shape, and enveloped
in broad, irregular penumbra

Gen. Mcclellan was asked if he thought
that, on the whole, the effect of army
life had been demoralizing to those who
participated in it, "By no means," he
replied. warmly. 'The point isn't sus-
ceptible OF proof or disproof, but have
no manner of doubt that the ratio of
drunkards is no greater among veterans
than among other men. There were
thousands Of the volunteers whose meth
ods of life were hepelessly unsettled, and
who wouldn't or couldn't return to my
sort of usefulness. But | believe there
were many more thousands on whom the
experience had broadening. inspiriting,
educating influence, and who, conse-
quently, emerged from the war better
qualified than they would otherwise have
been to accomplish something or other.
! think this is especially true of those
who had rank above the mere private,
though it might be only sergeantcy.
The feeling OF leadership and responsi.
bility rendered them more disposed to go
vigorously ahead in subsequent enter
prises. No, no; it is mistake to say
that the war was In that way demoraliz-
