WHAT THE EARTH THINKS

I am threatened with a comet,
With the all-absorbing sun;
Told that shall slowly burn out,
As my own fair moon has done;
Warned of coming conhagrations
That will seize me unaware;
Can fear humiliation,
After what daily bearl
Pelted constantly with hailstones,
Fiercely shook by hurricanes,
Thrown by whirlwindS topsy-turvy,
Nearly drowned by constant rains,
Growled at day and night by thunder
Pierced by lightning everywhere,
Nipped with frosts, until scarcely
Knowif am round or square.
Out all night in freezing weather,
Under tropic suns all day,
Dug and struck with plows and shovels,
Scratched with harrows every way.
Beaten down for streets and highways,
Galloped over day and night,
With steam engines burned and scalded,
Kept in continual fright.
Deeper wounds than these l suffer
am mined and bored and hit,
Torn by dynamite and powder,
Blown to pieces bit by bit.
I've seen comets without number,
And they always keep their sphere;
1t is man that makes me tremble-
Restless, curious man, fear.
For know some day or other
He will find a stronger force"
Wondrous chemicals discover,
And the end will be, of course,
/ shall have my shattered remnants
Blown away like any feather,
Yet have one consolation
Probably we'll go together

A Simple, Certain Way.

Up and down his store he strobe
With dull and sorry face.
On his mind there lay load,
For no buyer ever showed

To sell off his large supplies,
And thus to make his business pay.
Now if you question him, he'll say
II always advertise

thrown into an intense state OF excitement
at 3 this afternoon by terrible accident
in the rooms OF the Illuminating depart
ment. in which twelve young ladies are
emploved. Miss Kate Taylor, an intelll-
cent and prepossessing young lady, aged
81 wears, has been for the last ten years
emnloyed as an inspector OF primes and
cartridges. She was seated at window
and had pan in which were about TWO
