Love and Life.*

Most men know love but as a part of life;
They hide it in some corner of the breast
Even from themselves; and only when they rest
In the brief pauses of that daily strife
Wherewith the world might else be not so rife,
They draw it forth Gas draws forth a toy
To soothe some ardent, kiss-exacting bay)
And hold it up to sister, child or wife.
All me! Why may not love and life be one!
Why walk we thus alone, when by our side
Love like visible god, might be our guide!
How would the marts grow noble! and the street,
Worn like dungeon-foor by weary feet,
Seem then golden court-way of the sun

Somewhere on this earthly planet,

And hear sound of sobbing
Through the darkness o, hist!
In dim and musky chamber,

As it brightens on the lawn,

And a whisper, "He is gomez

THE BIRTH, LIFE AND DEATH OF A WORLD
Some OF the Marves of Our Planetary System and the
Titanic Forces to Which Our Own Earth is Subject.

Dr. Henry Louis Smith, President of Davidson
College, lectured here Friday evening to aDDre-
ciative audience that comfortably filled the college
hall, on The Birth, the Life, and Death of a
World" 1t was most scho olarly and entertaining
e The hS speaker a Was by u b. J. A.
Scott.
DR.. Smith said that while he had never been
present at the birth of a world. yet he could OBJ
serve wOrld-fOrming material, worlds in different
stages of Development worlds in infancy, in
youth, in maturity, in old age, worlds dying and
worlds dead-and hence could tell something of
the life and death of world. No botanist has
ever lived to trace the life of a single oak from
the acorn through youth, maturity, old age and
death, but walk through forest and see
trees IN all stages of development and so can
trace the life of the tree. He said that his sub
lect involved the consideration of infinite time
and Infinite space, and he wished his audience to
bear in mind three facts. First constant change
Is the universal law of life-there is no atom of
matter that is not in constant change; second,
almost all changes cyclic-sunshine follows
cloud, summer follows winter, rivers flow to the
sea, caught up in Clouds descend as rain and
How again to the sea third, In many higher forms
OF spiritual life the law of change fais-lfe never
repeats its stages of decay, hours of childhood
never returns. there is no law to restore to a
world It's vanished youth. Life is divided into
five stages-infancy youth, maturity old age
death. The butterfly goes through these stages
in day or two, man in three-score years and ten
a world IN countless myriads of centuries. This
world is of family of eight. There are
other worlds so far distant that no telescope can
make them seem more than a point of light. In
this group of nine worlds-counting the sun
some of the smaller already dead, some are
diving, others in maturity, in youth in in
fancy.
Scattered through infinite space, said the
speaker, there are vast formless clouds of which
worlds formed, 10000 aggregations of world
forming matter. In the forming of a world three
things happen simultaneously: the force Of gray
ity causes the formess to work toward
common centre and take the form of a globe; as
