The Earth's Duration.

The present age OF the earth has
been placed by Sir William Thomson
at l00,0O0,O00 years, while the spec
ulations Of others have given much
larger figures. NJ. Adolphe d Assier,
who believes such estimates tn be
greatly exaggerated, considers the HE
OF the earth In three periods, which
he terms the igneous or nebula sta
dunn, the stadium OF solar illumina-
ton or OF organic life, aud the sta
dunn OF darkness, cold and death.
The first, which began with the de.
tachment of the terrestrial nebula
from the solar and ended In the for.
nation OF the crystalline crust OF the
globe--he calculates from physical
laws TO have been SOC, 900 In duration.
The second, comprising the present
epoch, and TO close with the extinc-
tion OF the sun, embracing the entire
cycle OF geological formatlons-is
found by geological and physical evil
dence as likely TO have total length
OF 25, 900, 900 years OF which more than
half has passed The third stadium,
starting from the end Of solar illn'
mination, and closing la the terrible
and inevitable catastrophe OF the fall OF
the earth TO the sun, and, nornentari-
ly frightened by the incandescence OF
the earth as the moon crashes into tt
will have length that cannot be cal
culated until the precise rate Of accel.
eration OF the earth around the centre
OF attraction Is known. but will proba-
bly, be, at the lowest estimate, 1900, :
900 years or more. Upon the whole,
the present age Of the earth appears
to be about 10000 years. This II
but small part Of its existence and
everything leads to the belief that Its
total evoIutions through the immen-
sity OF space will exceed million cen
turies.

Fascinated by a Huge RattIe.naks.

II. p. Hedden, who resides several
miles southeast OF Denison, Texas, on
Tuesday took to that city his little
child Sallie. TO be treated for snake
bite. About 6o'clock in the morning
the little girl left the house with a
pail on her arm 10 gather wild black
berries near what is called Stone
Spring. The child was expected. tore
turn home in few minutes "a the
family was to leave early 10 pass the
day with a neighbor. The child be-
ing absent something over an hour,
Mrs Hedden proceeded to the spring.
The child was not there, and the
mother called her name loudly sever
al times. Receiving no response, she
left the spring and walked into the
blackberry patch TO hunt upthe child.
Passing through the patch she saw a
scene which made her scream and al
most faint with horror. The child
was seated on rock and circled In
her lap was large rattlesnake.
The child was caressing the snake,
whose head was slightly elevated and
moving to and fro. Sometimes the
snakes head would almost touch the
lips OF the child, who pushed IL away
without appearing to anger the snake.
The child was SO completely under
the spell OF the serpent that il paid
no attention TO the mother, who
screamed SO loudly that her husband
heard her a quarter OF mile distant
and hurried To the scene.
When Mr.. Hedden appeared the
snake placed itself in attitude OF bat
| tie, and the air almost seemed 10 vi
brate with the noise OF the rattler.
Mr. Hedden advanced upon the snake,
the child fell back as II In n swoon,
and the snake struck il on the thumb
/ of the right hand and then sprang at
/ Hedden, who killed il with n rock.
Hedden sucked the wound, which he
! : confident saved the life Of his little
girl. Salaratus was also applied To
the wound. The hand and arm Of
the little girl were but very little
swollen when she was brought to the
/ city for treatment.
The child states she was sitting on
the rock picking berries when the
snake appeared, and that she was
unable TO move when she looked at
IL; that she was afraid OF it; that when
il waved its head to and fro In her
face she felt like going to sleep.

A Newly Married Couple.

He took up the middle OF the street
like a runaway horse, and the young
man took after him, but it was no

who grinned gained 30 fast that the

THE LADIES OF SEEPRERDSTOWN.

May the blessings OF an unseen hand
Upon this place attend,
For they indeed have proved to us
To be the soldiers friend.
Fathers, mothers, sisters dear,
For us could no more,
For they have eased our painful wounds
Whilst weltering in our gore.
Kindness il was shown TO us
BY every one around;
They words OF consolation spoke
And bathed our bleeding wounds.
And when the dying soldiers breath
Had nearly ebbed away,
They stood beside his trembling form
And wiped his tears away.
Refreshments they have furnished us,
And nothing was denied;
The best that could be purchased
Was amply supplied.
For the kindness we've received,
Since we lay suffering here.
You've mothers prayer a fathers thanks
Likewise a sisters tear.
Our brothers, too, will think of you,
Tho they be far away,
The debt OF gratitude they owe,
Which they can ne'er repay.
And as your days and years roll on
May your pleasures still increase.
And may your latter days on earth
Be days OFF joy and peace.
And when you quit this house OF clay
We mortals dearly love,
Your souls may mount on angel wings
And soar to realms above.
+. Ii. WARNER.
