Apples Fall.

'Tls evening In tho country.
In tho mild September hourS,
And we finger in the odors

Why do the apples fall this wayi

But even tho little sparrows end

When the dark comes. twinklinR
Like firefiies In tho wheat.
Bells before us tinkling
FAIRLY and fieet,

Where the dusk Is sweet,
Slide like Apparitions
Through tue startled street!

At tho Opera

From Vanity fufr.
The glitter of diamonds, and big, bright eyes
Rival each other in a box over there;
And the smiling red mouth which always denies,
The old, old story OF heartache and care;
And the spirit which ever deies.
But the shine of tears in her brooding eyes
Rivals the Jewels which CLEAN in her hairi
While feel that her coldnees is only lies,
That such routine she can hardly bear.
For her pale face droops as tho voices rise.
I wonder II memory sings q lay
OF last winters sport and an ardent boy,
And the darling moods Of that passionate day
When she won, and maddened, her favorite toy,
Then left him alone and rode away.

That one commodity
Has such demand
Throughout tho land.
You know what It is think. All. yes,
1t is nothing more and nothing less
Than Double brand OF happiness-
Now think what place this world would be.
What jolly old place for you and me.
What q wonderful place II you and
Would only try
To meet the demand with o certain supply.

How easily done.
To make one happy. only one:

And, my daughter, SEQ
How we'll 'twould be.

One soul happy from dawn to sleeping
II each OF us were busy in making
One soul peaceful from dusk to waking.
What happy old place this world would be,
What Jolly old place for you and me!
And II every one else then did the same
Why wouldn't It he the cleverest gamer
But. pray, don't try
To oversuppy
Somebody already floating high.
'Tis the sinking wretch We need to save.
Ana not the one on the topmost wave.
And remember. too,
This much that you
And will profit by what we do.
IT'S curious fact. but past all doubt.
That the more OF happiness one gives out,
Tho more he has left and the moro his powers.
AS the gardener strips bed Of flowers
That more shall bloom, so strip your soul
That anothers happiness be made whole.
And 10! in the quick winged second after.
IT'S filled with the blooms OF love and laughter.

Unreliabillty Of the Memory.

A curious case comes from the Pen.

unreliability of the memory corner at
the human brain. The late Captain
William Jay Murphy, veteran of the
Mexican and Civil Wars, ran away
from home at the age Of fifteen and en-.
listed in the New York Volunteers un-
der an assumed name in order to es-
cape detection. Now it hardly seems
possible man could forget name he
had borne for months, if not for sew

Twenty Million Brilliant Suns.

Within the twenty-four hours which
elapse from one sunrise until another,
the astronomers of the world have not
less than 10000, 900 stars within the
range of their powerful telescopes,

supposed to be, but each is now known
to be burning central sun, surround
ed with its own colony of planets, each
of these 10000, 900 "communities of
the skies" having their allotted part
to perform in the economy Of nature.
When we consider that the nearest of
these is $50, 600 times as far away from
us as our own light and life giver, and
that each of those planetary colonies
is from 10, 900, 900 to 30, 900, 900 miles
from some other families of swinging
worlds, we begin to get some light
conception of the grandeur and mag
nifceDce of the universe. Another

these 20,000,0 QUO suns is known to he
moving somewhere through illimitable
space, taking its brood of worlds with
it, some of them travelling upwards of
200, 1000 miles an hour. 1t is such
