OUR SOLAR SYSTEM.
The NebuIar Hypothesis Countennnced by
Recent Phenomena.

The phenomena attending earth
quakes give countenancc to the theory
Of the origin Of our solar system known
as the Nebular Hypothesis According
to this theory. the solar system was once
a vast fire mist, which gradually con-
denscd and finally evolved the sun, the
planets and their satellites. Originally
incandescent. a. these bodies parted
with their heat. water and dry land APP
peared, and finally organic life. yege-
table and animal. made its appearance.
Our earth, Mars. and possibly Venus.
are the only planets. i j. believed, capa-
bic OF sustaining the various forms OF
life such a. we are acquainted with.
Jupiter and Saturn are known to be
huge globes If fire and mist. small suns
in themselves. without life on their sur
faces, but perhaps sustaining life on the
satellites by which they are surrounded.
One other fact has been established by
scientific demonstration; that j.. the
identity of the materials that compose
The universe. We now know that suns,
stars, planets and moons are composed
of carbon, hydrogen, sodium. iron and
the other chemical substances such as
we are familiar with on this earth. The
universe we live In i full Of mystery,
and il is good for all Of " occasionally
to lift our thoughts to the marvels sug-
gested by astronomy and the study o.
physics. II was well said by Kant. the
philosopher: There are two things that
are to me perennial sources Of awe and
wondcr-the starry heavens above us
and the moral law within. - Dcmorcst's !

While Gordon was in command Of
the fort at Gravcsend. previous to his
representing England at the Confer
ence held at Constantinople in 1871, he
had occasion to read up his French
with professor. who relates the fol-
lowing incident. Of which he was a
witness: Toward the end Of 1871 an
cx-oilicer Of the Chinese Legion pre-
scntcd himself at the Fort House and
asked to see the General. On his card
being given 10 Gordon. he threw i
from him with disgust, and his anger
was So great that for few seconds he
was speeches. When he was some
what calmer. he expressed his feelings
in the following words Tell that
man to enter II he wishes me to blow
ont his brains This would seem
violent but when II i known that the
officer in question had deserted his
colors and joined the rebels against
whom Gordon was fighting in China
the righteous indignation Of the Gen
cral can be understood The servant,
who knew his master. repeated the
message. word for word. and the Off
Ger took his leave as quickly as posi-

THE OLD ORGANISE.
An Affecting STORY OF an Easter
Even Hallelujah.

II was dreary Easter even, but be-
hind 1t all was the glory Of the rcsurrcc-
ton time. One knew il by the fresh
smell Of the ground as the rain fell upon
il, trying, with gentle touch. to coax
from II the frost and hardness Of the
winter.
One knew it, too. BY the tiny blades
Of grass. the tender green Of which
cleaned in the sunny corners of shelf
cred door yards; and away in the woods.
under it, warm covering Of dccaying
leaves, the little hcpatca told anew tho
old story Of death unto life
People reused themselves from the
lcthargy % winter. and the hopes over
whose death they had gricved, because
their fruition seemed so far away and
uncertain. came trooping back full Of
JOY and promise rs before.
II was Easter even in dull narrow
street, the drcnrincss OF which was made
mnrc manifest by the pickering light Of
half-a-dozrn oil lamps, and the quiet
strongly emphasized by the continual
patter Of the soft spring rain upon the
side walks. and upon the low roofs OF
the cottages which stood at irregular
intervals upon either side. The street
was short one. and at the upper end
of il. just where IL curved around a
corner into wide and prctentious
avenue. stood a church, the cross on
whose spirc glit'crcd in the uncertain
light. The windows in the choir end OF
the building cleaned with light and
through the open doorway came the
sound Of organ and choir, now in
anthems, again in joyful carols. and AZ
last soprano voice in ~ know that
my Rcdecmer livcth." As the last note
died away into silence the organ alone
burst into the Halleluiah chorus. and
the grand chords swclcd in power until
the whole cdilice trcmblcd with the
glory Of their majestic harmony. Then
all was quiet. The choir came out in
twos and thrces. and dispersed IN vari-
Gus directions. One by one the lights
were extinguishcd. there was a sound
Of closing doors. of keys being turned,
and the last Easter rehearsal was over.
A the outer door was closed and fast
cned. two persons came down the steps
OF the church and turned into the dull
and narrow street. They were an old
man, seemingly feeble, and . younger
one upon whose arm he leaned.
