@Ortital,
WHY Is 1T SO ?

WHY IS HI SD
Some find work whei g some find rest,
And so the weary word goes on
I sometimes wonder which is BEST
The answer comes when life is gone.
Some eyes sleep when some eyes wake,
And so the weary night-hours go,
Some hearts beat where some hearts break,
I often wonder why It's SO.
Some hands fold, where other hands
Are lifted bravely in the strife;
And so thro' ages and thro' lands
Move On the two extremes of life.
Some feet halt while some feet tread,
In tireless march. the.thorny way;
Some struggle on where some have fed;
Some seek, when others shun the fray.
Some sleep on while others keep
The yigils Of the true and brave;
They will not rest till roses creep,
Around their name above grave.

Chinese Science.

From ancient times the Chinese have
taken note of natural phenomena.
Their report of solar eclipse is, perhaps,
the most ancient and accurate in the
world. They have more or less elab-
crate works on astronomy, mathemat-
les, botany, zoology, mineralogy, phys
iology, and many other sciences. Yet
there is scarcely any rrue science in
them. Classification, even in regard
to plants and animals, there is
none. Mineralogy is mainly de-
scription of curious stones. Nor is
there any progress, for the more an
clelt works are generally the best, and
as consequence the Chinese to-day
are as their fathers were thousands of
years ago. The superstition respect
ing natural phenomena, which are liv-
ing, active truths to-day for all classes
in China, remind us rather of man in
his state of barbarism than of the an
Middle Kingdom. The sun and moon
ARE to the Chinese, as they were to
primitive man, living things, gods to
be worsHfped. The stars in their
courses powerfully influence, if they do
not absolutely determine, all human
events. In them the wise may read as
in a book the destiny of man and the
fate of empires. Their combinations
make lucky and unlucky days, and we
shall do well to note carefully their
signs and silent warnings. Comets are
the precursors of famine, pestilence
and war-prognosticator of the wreck
of empires and the lall of kings. Eclip-
ses are the periodic efforts of the drag
on fiend to destroy the lights of heav-
en-, and every notice of an approaching
eclipse sent by the imperial astronomer
to the provinces is accompanied by a
government order to employ the usual
methods Of gong-beating and so forth
in order to rescue the threatened lu-
mlnary. Again, thunder is the roar of
the anger of heaven, and to be smitten
by a thunderbolt is to be marked as a
thing accursed. Wind is born in the
heart of great mountains, whence it is
sues at the command of the wind god.
Most districts have their wind noun
tains. That at Lung-Shan, in the
northern province of Chilli, is the most
remarkable. 1t has cave at each of
its four sides. The spring wind issues
from the cave on the eastern side, the
summer wind from the southern, and
SO for the Others. Wind eddies OF
whirlwinds are raised by the hedge
hog in his rapid passage from one place
to another, the dust serving to screen
him from the vulgar gaze. Rain is
produced by the dragon god, who car
ries up vast quantities of water from the
lakes and rivers in his capacious jaws
and pours it down in showers over the
earth. Every mountain has its spirit
or genius, every valley its nymph, ev-
cry spring its naiad. Hence mountains
and rivers, old trees and curious rocks,
become objects of worship.-Frons Ma

Pettsd to Death,

The poor little baby is gone! What.
ever the doctor may have written upon
his certificate, there are some friends OF
tho family who are sure that the little
object was fairly petted to death. 1t
was forlorn, thin baby-bright and
brave, but excitable, and, unfortunate
ly, the only one in large family.
Grandpapa and grandmamma on both
sides, the bachelor uncles, and two
vivacious young aunts in their teens
were all ready to assert their rights "to
take care of the baby and to ''amuse
her, Hardly had the delicate body an
hours rest in the day. She was tossed
in the air and trundled over rough
pavements, and carried in arms, and
made to smile and to give her attention
to whomever demanded it; that most
fatiguing mental exercise. When she
was sick the family were doubly atten-
tive. She grew more and more Ian
guild, though everything was done.
Everything indeed! Was ever baby
loved more, and more injudiciously
treated by well-meaning relatives? It
has its Just rest at last.

VALUABLE OPINIONS.
Given by Eminent Men who Visited
Dakota During the Past Year.

| Dakota During the Past Year.
Gen, Grant: I came here to be i'm
pressed, but | see greater evidences of en-
terprise in your city and prosperity in
your country than I anticipated, and all
promise great things for the future.
Secretary Teller The country is tar
more beautiful than I expected.
Gov. Rusk of Wisconsin: We are sur
prised and gratifed beyond our expecta-
tons at the splendid display of enterprise
and developemcnt.
Judge Wright of Iowa: Dakota I pre-
dict, will soon become one of the great
states of the union, and | hope a few
months will sec her admitted. I am
thankful that there is such country, and
that it is filling up with the intelligent,
the enterprising and the virtuous.
Gov. Farchild of Wisconsin: We be-
lieve that Dakota is to be the future great
state Of the northwest and indications are
that it will soon be state. 1t deserves
this distinction and | hope will soon secure
! it.
Senator Conger: I am tiller of the
soil, and have seen the settling of the
west and northwest. l have seen the
frontier extended, and Michigan, Illinois,
Wisconsin and Minnesota become great
states; and now here is Dakota a great
growing miracle. The resolute, the en-
terprising and pushing have branch"d off
into the wilderness and built up an empire
of which the world is proud. All who de-
sire to better their condition here find the
material to do it. The development of
this country and its beauty is enough to
excite the heart of any traveller.
Editor Curtis, OF the Chicago Inter
Ocean: There is in progress on this soil
at the present time one of the grandest
marches of civilization the world has ever
seen The spectacle presented furnishes
an interesting study. The movement go
ing forward here has for its impelling
agents the strongest individual forces we
have in our society and government.
Dakota is not richer in soil than in the
character and capacity Of her citizenship.
The best blood in American veins and the
best stock of the New World are contrib
uting to this unparalleled growth ana un-
exampled developement. Dakota is be-
ing enriched by an emigration from the
eastern, western and middle states of a
kind and extent without parallel in the
history Of this country. It is as much
matter of surprise, and more matter Of
significance, that the great majority of
those who are daily swelling the ranks of
the Dakotaians are of American parentage.
In the central portion of the territory,
more particularly is this the case. 1t is
safe to say that from ninety to ninety-fve
per cent. Of the emigration pouring into
the proposed stale of Dakota is composed
of American brain and brawn. \ major
ity of these Americans, who are merely
changing their residence from one part of
the country to another, under the same
flag are young men. The ,ru,h is i'ako-
t., is to be the most prosperous state of the
northwest, and is to lead in the developer
ment Of the great wheat basn OF belt to-
ward which the eyes Of Europe as we'll as
America are ltur.led. t-1"r-r,.r ."
