SUMNER MOONLIGHT.

Hove midsummer sunsets, rolled
Down the rich west in waves of gold,
With blazing crests Of billowy fire;
But when these crimson floods retire
In noiseless ebb, low surging, grand,
BY pensive twilight's Pickering strand,
In gentle mood love to mark
The slow gradations of the dark;
Till 10! from Orient's midst withdrawn,
Hail. to the moons respondent dawn,
On DUSK vale and haunted plain
Her effiuence falls like balmy rain;
Gaunt CULTS of shadow own her might,
Size battles the rescued world in light,
Sc that, albeit my summers day J.
Erewhile did breathe It's life away.
Methinks, whate'er its hours had won
OF beauty born from shade and sun,
Hath not perchance so wholly died,
But DER the moonlight's silvery tide
Comes back, sublimed and purified.

THE HABIT OF OBSERVATION.

The following story from the Penn
Monthly is related of Agassiz, and
it is sufficiently characteristic ofthis
remarkable accurate observer ohave
the merit Of probability. We are
told that once upon time the Pro
fessor had occasion to select an assis-
tant from one of his classes. There
were number Of candidates for the
post of honor, and finding himself in
quanary as to which one he would
choose, the happy thought occurred
to him of subjecting three of the
more promising students in turn to
the simple test of describing the
view from his laboratory window,
which overlooked the side yard Of
the college. One siad that he saw
merely board fence and a brick
pavement; another added a stream
of soapy water; third detected the
color of the paint on the fence, noted
green mould or fungus on the
bricks, and evidences of "bluing' in
the water, beside many other details.
1t is needless To tell which candidate
was awarded the coveted position.
Houdin, the celebrated prestidigi-
tateur, attributed his success in his
profession mainly to his quickness
of perception, which. he tells us in
his entertaining autobiography. he
acquired by educating his eyes 10
detect large number al objects at
single glance. His simple plan
was to select shop window full OF
miscellaneous assortment Of arti
cles, and walk rapidly past it NUM-
Der of times every day, writing down
each object which impressed itself
on his mind. In this way he was
able, after time, to detect instan-
taneously all of the araicles in the
window, even though they might be
numbered by scores. = Scientific

and. from Marseilles, Zuch saw
Mount Canigon at a distance of l5S
miles. The whole range of the swiss

that the Himalayas have appeared
to view from the great distance of
