NapoleCn's Question.

When Napoleon was returning from his CAM
paign in Egypt and Syria, he was seated one
night upon the deck of the vessel under the
open canopy of the heavens, surrounded by
his generals. The conversation had taken q
skeptical turn and most OF the party had
combated the doctrine of the divine exist
ence. Napoleon sat silent and musing, APP
parertly taking no interest in the discussion,
when, suddenly raising his hand and pointing
TO the crystalline armament, crowded with
blazing planets and glittering stars, he broke
out in those startling tones that had SO often
electrified million men: Gentlemen, who
made all that!" The atheistic generals were
silenced-St. Louis Republic.

FROM LIGHT TO DARK.

The daylight dying, yields 70 shade
While golden frescoes gid the sky,
As transient as the hopes OF youth,
'Twixt zenith and horizon pcised;
Float lightly fecks of argent cloud
Then all the west TO amber melts
As If rwere tissue of a dream
The twihght's pensive breaths floats IN
And seals with dew the kly's lips;
Dim evening comes in sable robes.
That lingering lights with luster fringe
And round the verge Of Heaven draws
A purple thread to bind her veil
Upon the dusky brow OF night
From OF the hill q cooling breeze
The passing sigh Of one today
Drifts down, and silence reigns without;
Within, along the wiLd's dim ways
The rustling wings Of memory fit.
And stir the cobwehs OF the pest

An Incorrect Theory.

The generally accepted theory that warm
summer follows cold winter, and vice versa,
has been examined by Science with the aid of
temperature records made in the same place,
under the same conditions, twice day for
forty years. Science cannot find any rule on
the subject, and comes to the conclusion that
no estimate can be formed in regard TO the
character of the past season of any greater
value than could be gained by mere guessing.
