TRYING TO INITIATE ABRAHAM.-"ln one
instance, at least, the cool Judgment and
prompt action of woman prevented a hor-
rible murder being committed" said gen.
tleman at Chardon, o., the other evening.
"Fifteen years ago Truman Phinney was a
happy and industrious farmer, living in
Montville, little village some eight or ten
miles from this city. He had pleasant
wife and two bright children, boy and girl.
He had bought and settled on a compare
lively new farm, and was prospering by
means of close economy and diligent indus
try. At length, q revival meeting was be-
gun one winter by Methodist clergyman
at the centre Of the township, and Phinney
and his family, who had never been rellg-
ious, soon began to take interest ln the
meetings, Finally, Mr.. Phinney came for
ward for prayer, and was under conviction
for number of days, and apparently in
great agony of mind. Several weeks after,
Mrs Phinney was aroused one morning
about three o'clock by her husband, who
was engaged in the work of whetting the
butcher knife in u very diligent way. Hav-
ing noticed that he was little strange the
day before, she was alarmed, and asked him
what he was doing. At first he would not
tell her, but at length, with great show OF
reluctance, he said that the Lord had re-
vealed to him that, in order that the whole
household might be saved, his little son
must be sacrificed, and he was getting ready
to carry out the will of the Lord. The
alarm of the mother was beyond descrip'
ton, but she kept perfectly cool and ap'
peared to be greatly interested in what wa:
going forward At length she attempted te
persuade him to put off the sacrifice for s
time. but this he would not consent to. HI
said that now was the accepted time anc
the day of salvation. Finally she suggested
that it would be proper to have certain

interest in all that was going forward in tn
family and was withal very pious. To thi

THE PERIHeLION OF SATURN.

October's starlit sky presents one prolni'
nent subject for observation and study. 1t
is the perihelion of Saturn. This longex-
pected epoch takes place on the 21st, at
O'Clock in the morning. 1t is twenty-nine
and one.half years since. the occurrence OF q
similar event, and during that time Saturn
has travelled more than 5,O00,000,000 miles,
and now looks the sun in the face from a
standpoint 1OC,O00000 miles nearer to the
central orb than when fifteen years ago, he
passed aphelion, or his most distant point
from the sun. Fortunately, at the same
time, the earth approaches point where
her small orb is almost between the sun and
Saturn, and profits largely by the proximity
The increased size and clearer radiance bear
testimony to the nearer neighborhood OF
the ring. girdled planet But it Is almost
absurd to speak Of the nearness OF au object
whose mean distance from the sun is $751;
600 900 miles. We are at sea without q
pilot in seeking to comprehend dimensions
where million of miles is the measuring
unit. We can, however, see results Ia the
beauty aud brightness of planet that hf-
teen wears hence will shine with dull,
murky light, in striking contrast with his
present serene aspect. Astronomers who
make Saturnian investigation specially
will gladly improve the favorable condi-
tions. 1t will not be unexpected if they
find out whether the dark spaces between
the ridges are merely shadings in or between
the myriad satellites that make them up, or
even if a ninth moon should be found family
cleaning among its brethren.
Nearly generation of those who now
tread the earth will sleep peacefully in its
bosom while this wonder of the skies ira
verses the vast path that forms his circuit
round the gun. A generation of men lives
and dies in one Saturnian year! Well may
it be said that the study of astronomy pro.
notes humility, teaching as no other science
can the insignifcance of humanity. For
what is our earth, with her one moon, By
the side of the peerless Saturn, with his
complex array of rings, moons and belts?
The EARTH however, has reached herpertec-
ton of development, while the primeval
fires of Saturn still burn. When animate
life reigus on this superb planet the earth
will be dead world cooled down to the
condition of our satellite, where lie and
moisture are unknown. Mars aud Mercury
| will probably succumb to the law of inevi.
table decay before the earth dies, on ac-
count of their smaller dimensions, Venus
Keeping pace more nearly with her twin
sister The four giant planets will then re-
ioice in their turn in the perfection of phys
lcal development, and take the placesin the
material scale now occupied by their more
insignificant brethren. But millions of
years will be required to effect these changes,
and meanwhile the inhabitants OF this little
planet can do nothing but behold the pro-
cess of matchmaking on the larger planets
aud the process of decay on the smaller
planets, while they wait patiently for what
is to come.-Procidenc Journal.
