THE MlNuE1 DANCER.

So, my enchantress in the Powered brocade,
You call an elder fashion to your aid
Step forth from Gainsborough's canvas and
advance.
A powdered Galatea, to the dance.
About you ciinGa g faded, Old world air,
AS though the link boys crowded round your
chair,
As though the EacaIollis ihropged the Mall,
And the French horns were sounding at Naux'
hall.
They tread the stately measure to its close,
The silver buckles and the silken hose,
Ladies and exquisites, that bend and sway.
Brilliant as peoples on an August day.
You dance the ninuet, and we admire,
We dullar,ls in our black and white attire,
Whose russell idyl seems q 1:ere burlesque,
Set in a frame SO far less picturesque
Yet take heart; for Love, the coatless rogue,
Can scarcely heed what raiment be in vogue,
Since in good sooth his negligence IS known
AS something scandalous anent his own.
And Il: he whispers, Eyes were bright ano

Lung ere the powder tax diSmaycd the town,
And faithful shepherds still shall babble on,
Although the ra,,ie11s ard The frills be gone.

How Fast the Earth Moves.

Everybody knows that the earth makes
one complete revolution on its axis once
in each "a hours. But few, however,
have any idea of the high rate Of speed
at which such an immense ball must
turn III order to accomplish the feat Of
making one revolution i'll a day and e
night. A graphic idea Of the terrific
pace which the old earth keeps up year
after year may be had by comparing its
speed to that Of cannon ball fired from
a modern high pressure gun The high
est velocity ever attained by such mis-
sile has been estimated at l 1926 feet per
second, which is equal to a mile in
3 80 seconds. The earth, i'll making
one complete revolution in the short
space Of "A hours, must turn with a
velocity almost exactly equal to that Of
the cannon ball. In short, it's rate of
speed at the equator is exactly ,507
feet per second. This is equal to a mile
every 3 6-10 seconds, II miles min
