Ten years ago, according to the San
Francisco Bulletin, if any one had pre-
dicted that hill land in California. well
up the mountain sides and covered with
chapparal, would be covered with Vine
yards and orchards, most people would
have put no faith in such anticipations.
But to-day one sees the vineyards and
orchards creeping up the mountain
sides from loo to $500 feet high, and
some at even greater attitudes Dwell
ing houses are perchcd upon elevations
where a few years ago no one would
have taken the land as a gift under an
agreement to cultivate it. These new
vineyards and orchards are the last to
be oyertaken by any OF the pests found
at lower elevations.

The Solitude of Sleep.

Seek some spot where no foot of man
has trod. There the wild bird gives
you shrill, sweet greeting and the
CHEEKY insect vibrates in its hidden
nook with murmur OF compansip.
Forsake humanity as far as may be and
the echo of the great pulsatng machin-
cry, of which, even against yotr will,
you are part, will never leave you.
You may be lonely-Ionely in the heart
of a crowd. You may in the circle
round the lireside, in the busy streets,
in great assemblies or friendly gather
ings, feel yourself utterly alone. That
is different thing; it is loneliness, not
solitude. Life has no solitude save the
strange, sweet solitude of sleep. For it
is only in the sleep world, so Sphinx
like in its reserve, so grave like in its
absolute silence, so death like in its
complete separation, that we go away
off by ourselves, leaving even our near
est companion, this dearly cherished
body of ours, and wandering, who
knows where? -- Charleston IS. c.

CELESTIAL MOTION.
The Essential and Everlasting Condition
of the Universe.

The Essential and Everlasting Condition
of the Universe.
The view of the cloudless and moon.
less armament on dark clear night,
when the whole vast black arch seems
tremulous with the scintllations OF
5000 stars, is always overwhelming to
one who gazes steadily at the sublime
picture and yields himself up to the
train of reflection which it suggests
But the night scene grows doubly in
teresting when it is known to be all in
motiOn-nOt only a movement of the
whole eXpanse, but an individual mo-
ton of each separate point of light.
Suppose the universe were stationary,
how would it appear? Let us see. The
mOtiOnleSS earth would forever have
one side turned toward the blazing
motionless sun andShe other in perpet-
ual night There would be no rising
and setting of the sun and no rising and
setting of the stars. The silent, mighty
procession of the skies would be
ended and the heavens would be dead.
The condition would be uncomfortable to
human beings, if there were any human
beings to see it, But there would be
none. Life would be equally impossi-
bic on that side of the earth where
there was perpetual day without night
and Dn that side where there was per
petual night without day.
Motion, then, is the essential and
everlasting condition of the universe
and everything i'm IT, There is no rest
And this motion is inconceiyably COM
pick. Our earth itself has four motions
that we know of-one on its axis every
day; one round the sun every year; one
swayng motion on its axis, which
causes the celestial pole to describe a
great circle in the heavens every %, 000
years, and one by which the solar sys-
tenn is carried Through space in the di-
rection of the constellation Hercules.
And there are, probably, other move
ments which we know nothing about.

gazed at Colonel Hammond attentively

''What might your name be?'

AUGUST COASTING.


Sport is Conducted. -
1t was on the afternoon of the very
warmest dayin August that the children
came running to me crying:
There are some boys and girls from
the village out on the hill, and some
from the hotel on the mountain. and
they all have brought their sleds."
1t seemed such puzzle to me that I
rose and went out to see what was 90.
ing on.
When l reached the spacious balcony
l was almost convinced that the whole
valley had been bewitched.
There were gathered at least twenty
children and half dozen sleds. The
boys were dragging the sleds up the
steep slope of the hillside that rose
FROM the road in front of the house
while the girls followed after as well al
they could.
1t was not by any means an easy feat
to climb this slope.
Though at casual glance it seemed
rs soft and velvety as well-kept lawn,
it was to the unwary a delusion and a
snare. The midsummer sun shines

watched them with interest. Al
last the top was reached. Then the
sleds were turned upside down, and the
runners were rubbed vigorously with
candieS; this completed, the sleds were
put in proper position again, three chill
dren seated themselves upon each, and
a gentle push started them down the
slope.
How swiftly they came! The slope
was steep but smooth; not rock, stump
or stone on its surface; there was nc
danger, and the sleds stopped on the
sandy road.
For two long hours this colony OF
children coasted-tilI the grass was

this midsummer coasting) was eX-

THE OLD ORCHARD.

In memory's halls some pictures dwell
With dear associations blest;
Whatever he our treasures there
This stands apart from all the rest
With some it is face, flower, -
A glorious day, sunset hour, -
A something that's beyond compare;
But unto me the one most fair
Is of grey old orchard sweet,
With bloom leaves scattered at my feet
With robins fitting through the trees,
And music from the humming bees.
1t was my childhood's playing ground,
And of it brightest memories come,
My brothers and my sisters dear
Played in it round our happy home;
When all our little tasks were done
The orchard echoed with our fun;
And robin gay, now gone to rest
Tuned up his throat, with rutfied crest,
But wondering hushed, in mute surprise
While listening to the merry cries
OF children in their gladstone mirth,
The happiest sound in all the earth.
You can not die to me, old trees,
What though your usefulness be DER,
You're living in my memory yet
As bright as in the days of yore,
When your spring blossoms, pink and fair,
Made fragrant all the balmv air:
Or when your summers leafy shade
A cool retreat for children made;
Or autumn's sunripe fruit so sweet
Was gathered from around our feet,
And by our father stored away
To cheer us on some wintry day.
o, days have soon dropped into years,
The years into life time grow,
And heads that then were dark or fair
VIII soon be sprinkled DER with snow;
But years may come or years may go,
Bring wealth or want, joy or woe;
Fame, with her hooking laugh, may come
And settle round my humble home,
But only death from me can take
The picture which those old trees make.

May a Christian Sell Liquor7

The dram seller offers liquor to every
man (not already intoXicated) who APP
plies for it. Among those who apply
are many to whom the liquor is poison,
and worse than poison. TO some of
them it will bring bodily death Others
it will madden to the commission of
fearful crime; others find in it that
which ruins family peace; and to Il
great number it brings the curse i'm
piled in the words: ''Ncither thieves,
nor covetous, nor .drunkards, shall in
herit the Kingdom of God" Can it be
right to offer liquor promiscuously to
men, whom it may lead (and vast
number OF whom il l0W lead) to hell?
May the Wholesale merchant furnish
whisky to the retailer to be used for
this purpose? Alcohol is sold and
bought for manufacturing purposes;
that, of course, is right But can it be
right to furnish it to the dram-seler for
a use that leads to the ruin of soul and
body? Nations will not allow neutral
to furnish munitions of war to the en-
envy. Is not the dram-shop drinking Of
whisky weapon of the Evil One? May
a child of God furnish it?- Christian o.

"A Little Child Shall Lead Them"

An esteemed clergyman writes thus;
Every recently a boy in my parish,
only six years of age, was sent by his
mother to fetch his father home from
pubiic-house He found his parent
drinking with some other men; one of
them invited the little fellow to take
some beer. Firmly and at once the
hoy replied: No, l can't take that;
I'm in the Band OF Hope. The men
looked at one another, but no one was
found to repeat the temptation The
man then said: We'll, if you won't take
the beer, here's a penny for you to buy
some candy The boy took the penny
and said: L thank YOU. but l had
rather not buy candy; | shall put it into
the savings bank. The men looked at
Que another, and for some moments
were entirely silent. At length one of
them rose and gave utterance to his
feelings in these words: We'll, | think
the sooner we sign the pledge and put
our savings in the bank the better. The
men Immediately left the house. Such

box six years old. How many old peo-
