hear thy voice
In the hooking birds low till
AT dewy eve, When all is still;
In the gentle zephyrs' signing
When the golden day is dying.
hear thy voice
In the brooklets ripping flow,
In the pines sweet murmurs low;
And cen the silent flowers tell
OF tender tones know so we'll.
hear thy voice
From singing bird, from smiling flower,
AT blushing morn, at twilight hour;
From signing winds, from flowing streams
| hear thy voice? All nature beamsl

Profession tor Women.

There is n class of women TO whom the
conneei in this article will be very distasteful.
The career of wife and mother has little
annreciatiop in their eyes. It Is not enough
abpreciated by a large share Of both sexes.
KIT the remedy for this is is in the women's
own hands If they would have an honorable
profession, they have only to do quality Of
work that is worthy of honor. Surgery was
once branch of the BARRIERS trade, and GER
tainly no more hOnored than homework Is to-
day: but men have made study OF 1t, have
given it a broad, scientific basis, invented in
strlments and processes TO increase its eff
cheney. and arranged a systematic mode OF
learning its practice, with the result that
the surgeon Of to-day has one Of the most
honorable of professions. In similar
way dressmaklng, which is a
trade in the hands of women-bas been made
a profession in the hands Of one man. The
ordinary dressmaker gets little respect; Mr.
Worth is held in high esteem, and the diner
ence is that he does work which cOmpels
esteem. The ordinary housewife and mother
takes little pains TO learn her business; she
follows rule-Of-thumb methods handed down
from her great-grandmother, introducing no
improved processes or appliances, and feel
inc no shame if her home 10 ill
managed or her children ill-trained. If
women doubt that competent administration
in the home would win the same esteem that
is paid TO the competent surgeon, or lawyer;
or merchant or college professor, they would
recall the Roman matrOn, Cornella, whose
fame has already lasted for nearly score Of
centuries. With her spirit the modern woman
should say Of her home: This Is my DIP

the keeping of which made his married life a

10 oppose my wife's will.
Second-1o discharge all duties for her
sake freely.
Tbird-Never TO scold.
Fourth-Never 20 look cross at her.
Fifth-Neyer TO weary her with commands.
Sixth To promote her piety.
Seventh To bear her burdens.
Eighth-ro overlook her foibles.
Ninth-'ro save, cherish and forever defend

Tenth-To remember her always, most af-
fectionatey, in my prayers.

THE CONTACTS.
INTERNAL CONTACT

II these four contacts could have been OBJ
served with absolute accuracy the observa-
tons would have much greater value.
But the external contacts were difficult to
note, while the internal contact was rendered
uncertain Oh account Of q faulty atmospheric
and faulty optical effect known as the " black
drop "a distortion Of the image Of Mercury.
II the orbit of Mercury and the earth were
both in the Same plane the transit would have
been seen az each conjunction.
But that OF the lnnermost planet is inclined
some seven degrees to the ecliptic (the eArth's
path around the sum, which plane it crosses
twice in each revolution OF points termed the
nodes and Only II the conjunction happen
when the planet IS very near node Will a
transit result.
1t can only happen about May 7th for one
node and November 9th for the other. In the
former case Mercury is moving toward the
south cat the descending node " and in the
latter he is travelling north (the ascending
node" ~
At the time Of the May transit Mercury is
very near aphelion. or its greatest distance
from the sun, and the relative parallax beng
greater conjunction must happen at a time
when the planet is very close 10 the node in
order TO have a transit.
That is why May cransits do not occur as
often as November transits.
OBSERVATIONS.
Mercury mas made in 1881 by Gassendi; the
first record of any scientific accuracy was
made by HALEY Oh the Island of st. Helena
IL 1871.
Since then twenty-three different transits
have been observed and given astronomers q
vast array of figures 70 work upon.
Transits OF Mercury happen at intervals of
never less than three years nor more than
thirteen.
Usually the intervals run about rs follows:
Three, thirteen, seven, ten, three, ten, three,
thirteen, DC.
OF course the planets path across the sun
Is not identical at each transit.
o.. The nearer Mercury is TO the node at the
time OF conjunction the more nearly central
will be the transit
The longest possible duration of a Noyem-
Der transit Ii about five and half hours, and
OF May transit nearly eight hours.
when the planet merely grazes the suns
edge the entire period may occupy much less
than an hour
The shortest transit ever observed through
out was that of 1884, November 18th. 1t was
recorded by several early American astrono-
mers, including winthrop and Rittenhouse,
and lasted only one hour and twenty minutes.

Yesterday Saturday, with the planet Mer-
curry as the subject OF study,
Mercury passed between the earth and the
ann and Appeared for time projected on the
bright disk of the sun.
Nercurv being an inferior planet-that Is,
revolving in an orbit within that OF the earth
it sometimes happens that the relative mo-
ton of Mercury and the earth bring these
planets and the sun in nearly the same straight
line Mercury between the other two.
When this occurs we have what is known "a
a transit Of Mercury. This is what occurred
yesterday.
TOO LATE IN THE DAY.
Unfortunately for observers in the eastern
part of the United States The transit began 30
late in the day that no more than the begin
ing or it was observed, and it IS doubtful
whether any observations Of value were made
Of that
The exact time for Richmond and vicinity
when the planet apparently touched the sun
was Oh Am.
As the sun set about o'clock at the time
Of the beginning of the transit it was almost
touching the horizon.
Even under the best conditions the atmos-
pheric effects when the sun is so low would
make it impossible TO secure any Obserya-
tons that would be valuable.
On the Pacific coast, however, the transit
began at 3:4j p. NJ. and observers had al OPP
portunty Of watching nearly the whole course
of the planet across the suns face before sun
set.
The best points of observation were on
some of the islands of the Pacific.
DIR. Marcuse. the Berlin astronomer. and
Mr.. Preston of the United States coast and
geodetic survey. went 10 the Sandwich Islands
to make observations to settle the question as
to whether the earth woobles or not, and 1t is
expected arrived there in time to observe the
transit yesterday.
