DIFFERENT PATHS.

lately talked with one who strove
To show that all my way was dim,
That his alone the road to Heaven;
And thus 1t was answered him:
''Strike not the staff l hold away,
You cannot give me yours, dear friend;
Up the steep hill our paths are set
In different ways, to one sure end.
''What, though with eagle glance upfxed
On heights beyond our mortal ken,
You tread the broad, sure stones of Faith
More firmly than do weaker men.
''TO each according to his strength;
But as we leave the plains below
Let us carve. out wider stair,
A broader pathway through the snow.
"And when upon the golden crest
We stand at last together. freed
From mists that circle round the base,
And clouds that but obscure our creed,
''We shall perceive that though our steps
Have WANDERED wide apart, dear friend,
No pathway can be wholly wrong
That leads unto one perfect end"

st. James Gazette.

The Duke of Wellington was ex-
tremely fond of watches, and needed to
have at least half a dozen within reach
and all ticking their liveliest at once,
and this is but half the story Fearing
that some ill might befall those just un,
der his eye, orders were given when
ever the great man travelled to have as
many more slowed away in a portman-
teau made to fit his carriage. One
timepiece was, above all others, his
acknowledged favorite; it was of old
fashioned English construction and had
once been the property of Tippoo
Sahib. Another of the dukes treas
ures had strange history. Napoleon
had ordered it of Breguet for the fob of
his brother Joseph, and, as an extra
curiosity, directed a miniature map of
Spain to be wrought in niello on one
side and the imperial and royal arms
on the other. just as. this lovely gift
was finished Joseph was driven out of
his kingdom by the duke, and the en-
peror, for reasons best known to him.
self, refused to take or pay for the
costly bauble. At the peac it was
purchased from Breguet and presented
by Sir E. Paget to the Duke of We'll
lington. Another watch owned by the
duke was made for Marshal Junot, and
a great Theological curiosity it is. There
has never been more than two others
like it. They are constructed to mark
both lunar and weekly movements.
The great duke gave preference to GER
tain montres de touche-and he had
several of them-a continuance Iof Bre-
guet, having sundry stubs or knobs by
which one could feel what hour it Twas,
and this merely by what seemed ''just
fumbling in his pocket"

says, be so near its primary as t. es-

was a large man, whose thick boots and
modest raiment were covered with
country dust. "Hello, Clark" he
said, show air youp How's the folks?

The Greatest of Suns.
Chicago Times


Messrs. Hough and Burnham, of the
Dearborn Observatory, have been en-
gagged lately in micrometrical measure
ments of the companion of Sirius, the
brightest star by far in the whole
heavens. The distance of Sirius from
the earth is estimated to be 1875, 700
times greater than the distance of the
sun, or about 1913, $50, 900, OOO, GOO miles.
Or, to measure its distance another
way, its light, travelling at the rate of
10000 ulles in second, would be
more than twenty-one years in reaching
the earth. In other words still, the as
tronomer who turns his telescope now
on the stars sees 1t rs it as it was more
than score of years ago. The dimen-
sions of the star must be enormous, even
as compared with the sun, for it is quite
twice the brilliancy of any of its COM
panions, while our sun at that distance
would probably appear like star of
the fourth magnitude.
The discovery of the companion of
Sirius was made by the Chicago in
strument; not, however, by any of our
local astronomers. Mr.. Clark, the
maker of the telescope. mounted it
