MISCELLANY.
Some Mothers Child.

At home or away in the alley or street.
Wherever chance in the wide world to meet
A girl that is thoughtless or boy that is Wild
My heart eschoes softly, "'Tis some mothers
child"
And when see those DER whom long years have
rolled
Whose hearts have grown hardened, whose spirits
are cold,
BE IL woman all fallen or man all dehed,
voice whispers sadly, "Ahi some mothers
child"
No matter how far from the right she hath
strayed,
No matter what nroads dishonor hath made,
No matter what elements cankered the pearl
Though furnished and sued, she is some mothers
girl,
No matter how Maynard his footsteps have been,
No matter how deep he is sunken in sin,
No matter how low is his standard of Joy,
Though guilty and loathsome, he is ONE mothers
boy. Selected.

Fred Douglass Rebuke,

DR.. George w. Pepper, in writing of
the late Hon. Fred Douglass, says:
Probably the grandest moment in Mr.,
Douglass life was in London in 1S47.
He attended the worlds universal peace
convention at which Lord SALISBURY,
the famous philanthropist, presided
Douglass was introduced to the audi
ence, which consisted mainly of dukes
and lords, as The American Slave
AT the conclusion of his address his
hearers cheered for fully five minutes.
One of the most striking incidents &C.
Cured, however, when a prominent
New York clergyman went forward
with the others and extended his hand,
which was proudly refused by the black
man. NO. said he, you would not do
this if we were in New York, and re-
fuse to accept it here The incident
was noted, and the New York clergy
man did not have an opportunity to
preach in single London pulpit during

spirit of the Lord came upon US, and,

"Amen." 1t was the hour OF his sur

Queen Elizabeth and Mary.

In 1860 Queen Elizabeth issued n procla-
nation wherein she declared to her sub
jects that she had never gained anything
upon he, coinages; neither had she coined
any base money, and that she was deter
mined to recover the "honor and reputa-
ton nf the singular wealth that this realm
was won't to have above all others" Ac-
cordingly the Tower mint was commits
stoned to receive base money, and in II
months about 1850, 900 current value was
coined into money of proper weight and
standard.
The fumes from melting these base coins
were so poisonous that many of the work
men fell i'll. The medical authorities OF
that day prescribed potion from dead
mans skull as certain remedy. Accord
ingly an official warrant procured some OF
these strange cups from London bridge,
and the draft was administered. 1t is said
to have afforded temporary relief, but
many died, whether because the skulls
were traitO aus in death as well as in life
history does not relate.
About this time new mode of coming
by means of the mill and the screw press
was introduced from France by one Eloye
Mestrell The method was approved by the
queen and her council. Indeed it has been
said that the first milled coin was struck
in the Tower by her own royal hand
However that may be- the corporation OF
moneyers bitterly opposed the scheme, and
the Frenchman being detected in making
milled money outside the Tower, was
summarily hanged and quartered and his
machinery abandoned. -Gentleman' Mag

The Size of the Universe,

While it is interesting to know the dis
lance of some of the stIrs in miles, when
stated in that way the numbers are so
large that they frequently convey very in
distinct conceptions to the mind. For this
reason it is customary to estimate stars
distances in eight years. A light year
Is the distance that light moving at the
rate of 1856, 300 miles per second, travels in
one year This amounts in round numbers
to ), $50, 900. OOO, 600 miles The distance
of Alpha Ccntaur is 435 light years, that
of Sirius, the dog star, is almost exactly
twice as great, or SO light years In other
words, light requires So years to come to
us from Sirius. And these are among the
very nearest of the stars. Some whose
parallaxos have been rather estimated than
measured appeared to he situated at dis
lance which light could not traverse in less
than one or two centuries The great star
Arcturus, for instance, has, according to
DR.. Elkin, Il parallaX of only cighteen-thou-
sandths of n second. Its distance must in
that case, be about Isl light years, or more
than thousand million million miles. And
If its distance is so great, then, since light
varies invcrscly as the square of the dis
tance from its source, it can be shown
that Arcturus must actually give forth
0,UOO or O,UOO ullneS as lnucn llSnU Us tne
sun yields
Yet Arcturus is evidently much nearer
than the vast majority of the stars are.
Not one in million is known to have a
parallax large enough even to be intelli-
gently guessed at. There may be stars
whose light requires thousands instead of
hundreds of years to cross the space sepa-
rating them from us.
We thus see that only few points on
the nearer shores Of the starry universe lie
within reach of our measurements-here
and there jutting headland, while behind
stretches the vast eXpanse over which the
hundreds of millions of stars known to eX-
list are scattered. Garrett p. Serviss in
Chautauquan.

Shall We Know ?

Shall we know In the hereafter
All the reasons that are hidY
Does the butterfly remember
What the caterpillar did?
How he waited, toiled and suffered,
And became the chrysalid2
When we creep so slowly upward,
when each day new burden brings,
when we strive in vain to conquer
Hindring sublunary things,
When we wait, and toll, and suffer,
we are working for our wings.
Never a river but brims and fills
by the aid of numberless slender rills
Never a strength but has grown and ted

Never a day but is ruled and shaped
by the power of a yesterday escaped;
And never a human soul that grew
BY single resolve to its stature true.

they have never suffered, as a woman
