When Spring Leads Summer.

"Aen Spring Leads Summer.
When rosy Spring takes Summers ready hand
To lead her to her own fair smiling land.
She flies along the way with happy laughter,
While joyous summer follows lightly after.
About the meads the flowers are blue and gold
en-,
Still beckoning onward, as, in ages olden,
When this fair world was young, on sea and
shore
Fond visions led the daring to explore
Its bounds remote.
When Summer shows the way for Autumn =
Beside the standing corn or garnered wheat,
She loiters, all too happy in her straying
And singing softly to the brooklet's playing
Upon the pebbles, and her hands are filling
With dusty globes of luscious wine, distilling
Their sweetness into iife's glad. calm content.
With whose repose fond Memory has blent
Her tender note.
When Autumn points to Winters frozen home
And leaves the fields where she was won't to
roam
To guide his footsteps, still her fondest longing
For scenes where once the happy hours came
thronging
With ever new delight breaks forth in weeping,
And oft she pauses to look back where, sleeping
In happy peace, the fertile valleys lie,
And as she looks the tears that dim the eye
Shut out the sight
When Winters frost is drifting down the air
And all the world is silent, cold and bare,
When through the leafess trees the wind il
signing,
The while across the sky clouds are flying
Then does the hearts despair break forth in
sobbing
That seems one cry alone II all its throbbing.
oh, take me back again to those old days
When spring led summer through the dreamy
Of youths delight.

THE CIRCUS SEASON.

Now the merry circus season spreadeth
DER the land.
Mark the flaming posters looming up on
every hand
Maiden with the six foot tresses.
Trapeze girls in scanty dresses.
Beasts from unknown wildernesSes.-
Girl who lion fierce caresses,
Birds that no known land possesses.
Cailiope that nerves diStreSses.
Clown who ancient jokes expresses.
Procession that with pomp progresses.
All of which our wealth assesses.
See the people throng the sidewalks when
they hear the bandl
Note the fearless bareback rider dashing
round the ring:
See the ancient damsel from lofty ira
peZe swing,
See red lemonade ALLOWING.
Mark the last years peanuts going,
Scent the jungle Zephyrs blowing.
Hear the sacred white bull lowing.
See the strong man make a showing
That half ton weight he's throwing,
Mark the rural lad. all knowing:
Hear the scores of babies Growing.
Watch the cowboys lasso throwing
And the baby lion growing
Crane your neck and strain your eyes at
every wondrous thing.
Hear the small boys fervent pleading to
attend the show.
Pater says the kid needs guarding. so he'll
also go.
Even mater gets excited
When the big white tent is sighted;
Hints until she is invited:
Pink shirt waisted girls delighted;
Stingy dad Is much affrighted;
JTrchins face with joy is lighted;
Sky with rain clouds are benighted;
Hopes of sunshine always blighted:
Every other thing is slighted
When the circus has alighted-
Might as well pull down the shades and
lock the door and go.

the planets center being about 9, $780,
600 miles. 1t was stated in recent
dispatch from Cambridge that the new
satellite is 81 times the distance of
!. Iapetus, or approximately 1875, 900
miles. The span of the orbit is about
15, $50, 600 miles and the time of revo-
luton about II months. Before the
discovery of the ninth satellite the Sa-
turnian system was second only to the
solar system in magnitude. The ninth
satellite greatly increases the proper
tions of the Saturnian system.
1t is possible that some of the satel-
lites of Saturn and Jupiter are habit
able. One of Saturn's satellites, the
sixth in distance, is nearly as large as
the planet Mercury. Saturn's lighting
capacity is immense, to say nothing of
the light each satellite receives from
the SUM-.
The new satellite of Saturn is of the
151a magnitude. 1t is so faint that it
might have remained undiscovered but
for the Photographic plate. This dis
coyery has fully justified the confidence
of the late Alvan Clark in the Bruce
Photographic telescope.
In the discovery of satellites, as in
nebula, American astronomers are
leading their European brethren. Amer
leans have discovered two satellites of
Mars, the fifth satellite of Jupiter, two
satellites of Saturn and more than
1,000 new nebula. Swift alone has dis
covered more than l, 900, and if his life
be prolonged the list may surpass that
of Herschel. Rochester Democrat and

Petty Criticisms OF the Preacher.

No atmosphere is so injurious to the
hearer and none so trying to the preach
er as petty criticisms and malicious in
terpretation. People ought to hear in a
large and generous spirit, remembering
that the preacher is man of like frail-
ties with themselves and remembering
that no man ought to be judged except
ON the length and breadth of his teach
ing. 1t is possible that one day he may
be dull-it is matter of the weather;
il. is possible another day that he may
not be sweet tempered-it is matter
of digestion; the hearers ought to make
great allowances for cne who has to
work with the double instrument of a
tickle mind and an imperfect body.
Hearers should remember that no man
ever can be equal except he travel on
the plane of dreary commonplace

The announcement from Harvard OBJ.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by an infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets infiamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an infiamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send
for circulars, free.

There was man who never made
A blunder in his life.
He loved girl, but was afraid
If she became his wife
That he or she might rue the day
That brought them bliss, and so
He put the happiness away
That welded lovers know.
One day the man who never made
Mistakes perceived the way
That led to fame, but, still afraid,
Drew back and stole away.
He Stunned the winding paths that led
To distant, unseen ends
And kept the road that stretched ahead
With neither sleeps nor bends.
At last the man who never made
Mistakes fell by the way.
In garments that were badly frayed.
And pale and starved he lay.
No weeping friend bent Ger him there.
Nor servant, child nor wife,
But victory was his-he ne'er
Had blundered in his life.
