KIND HEARTS.
Let but the heart be beautiful,
Amt I care not for the face,
I heed not that the form may want
Pride, dignity, or grace.
Let the mind be Sited with glowing thoughts
And tjie soni with sympathy,
And I care not if the cheek be pale,
Or the eye lack brilliancy.
What though the cheek be beautiful,
It soon must lose its bloom;
The eye’s bright lustre soon will fade,
- In the dark and silent tomb;
But the glory of the mind will live,
Though the joyous life depart,
And the magic charm can never die
Of a true and noble heart.
The lips that utter gentle words
Have a beauty all their own,
And more I prize a kindly voice
Than music’s sweeteat tone;
And though its sounds-nre harsh or shrill,
If the heart within beats free,
And echoes back each glad impulse,
’Tis all the world to me.
OUR BABY.
Bid you ever see our baby 1
Little Tot;
With her eyes so sparkling bright,
And her skin so lily white,
Llpß and cheeks of rosy light—
>• Tell you what,
She is just the sweetest baby
In the lot.
Ah I she is our only darling,
And to me,
All her little way 3 are witty;'
And wiicn she sings her little ditty,
Every word is just as pretty
As can be—
Hot another in the city
Sweet as she.
You don’t think so—never saw.her;
Wish you could
See her with her playthings clattering,
Hear her little tongue a chattering—
Little dancing feet come pattering—
Think you would
Love her just as well as I do—
If you could !
Every grandma’s only darling,
I suppose,
Is as sweet amt bright a blossom,
Is a- treasure to her bosom,
Is as cheering and endearing
As my rose—
Heavenly Father spare them to us
Till life’s close.
ABOUT THE MONTH OF MARCH.
The third month"of the year is March with 30
days. Winter and Spring have ever contended
for the possession of this month;, neither one can
make it entirely his own, and they still to this
day. keep np their contention, notwithstanding the
almanac-man has stepped between them and tried
to settle it so that on the 20th, or at most on the
21st dayof March, Spring shall be allowed to reign
in the 'fitiidi ’ Bat Winter says—“ What do I care
for the almanac-man? He may prescribe and
print what he pleases,; if I want to remain in the
earth, remain I will, as long as it suits me, even
to the end of the month!” And.so be really does
in many instances, but generally old Winter fis
driven back .by young Spring, and can linger
awhile only in rough regions where the snow can
bide itself deeply in the gorges and valleys. At
last he must retire even from these places. Spring
bunts out his old enemy to contend with .him, and
the patches of snow left here and there, are but
the pieces which Spring has torn from the white
ntentle of Winter in the struggle; _ „ ■
The people of the country are right glad when
he takes his departure, for there is much work to
he done in the fields whieb Ms, presence hinders.
The ground must be manured and ploughed, seed
must he sowu and turned under the Soil with the
many toothed hanoiv, so that it may sprout and
grow up fre»h and green. Others hasten to clear
away the grass plats, raking off the trash which
has gathered on them through the Winter's'storms,
so that the grass may have a chance to grow.
And all this labor—must it then be gone through
with? 0 yes, my child 1 Tor the good God has
not made it so easy for man as for the fowls of the
air and the flowers of the field, which neither sow
porreap, nor gather into barns, and yet are nou
rished through the goodne sof the heavenly la
ther, and they toil not neither spin, yet Solomon
in all his' glpry was not arrayed as, one of, these.
Rather must we earn our bread by the sweat
of our faces, and especially is it the lot of the
Cbuntryman to gam his living fipm the ground.
Hence it is all wrong for a city child to despise
the farmer for his humbler occupation; for should
he not plow and sow, the earth would not bring
forth gram; without grain, there could be no flour
—Without flour, neither bread nor cakes such as
; the children loVe so much; and- many other things
Would fail to us, if the farmers did not expend so
much labor upon the fields.
But whoever else is glad that Winter is over,
the ohildren are., True, they took a great deal of
delight m the snow and ice, yet they prefer ,tfce
Spring on account of. the flowers which, it brings,
and the pleasant sunshine which it pours so charm
ingly over hill and valley, over meadoW. and Wood.
Now the children trip forth upon the sunny days
of March, and play and dance around upon the
grgss, and with many songs go hunting after the
first violets of the year; they find them by the
Sweet odor which they breathe mto the airi Oh 1
what a joy to fipd enough of the beautiful violets
.to form a little wreath 1 Away they run to father
and mother to show the precious discovery, and to
give them the pleasure of their delightful smell.
‘ “ tBE GRIT BARE-LEGGEI) LADDIE,”
■ ' Sixtyyears ago a stout bony youth of eighteen
years old, who had been known among his neigh
borhood as “ a grit bare-legged laddie,”—-called
on % poor village) schoolmaster,-and'said—
. wculd like to attend your evening school,
sir.”
do. you wish to study?” ashed the
teacher.- • ’ ■ ' ; -
<‘l want to learn to read and write,” replied the
lad.
The teacher looked-into the- lad’s face with a
somewhat scornful glance, shrugged his shoulders,
ajSB iaufc 1 ' '
‘ n’YefrV well, you can attend.
Now if that bony lad had said to the teacher,
d i Vnean to become s great inventor, to be 'com
' bahion of fieh and noble men, to hold conversa
tion with kings, and to, write my name among the
great men of the wo#,” I dam say the teacher
wonhi Eave called the boy a fool, lor cherishing
Sdoh Wild dreams. Yet that poor hony lad, who
-at eighteen dp' not know the alphabet,, did all
before he died. "
Who was he ? His name was George Stephen
son, the great railway pioneer! .
It was hot the fciulfi.of. George that he
waa ignorant/it was only his misfortune. His pa
fhhfiS were too poor tcf send him to school. He
was 'the son of the fireman of a pumping engine
in a colliery. His birth-place was a oottage with
- a olav floor, unto wall, and hare rafters. He had
hmh his Hying from hiS eflrlidst years, mat
-hy tedihg COWS harving up the gtfw of toe
tfiiae at night. Next he was put to picking
stones'from the coal, arid after that to diiving a
howo, which nauled coal from the pit.
hv he was made assistant firemaD to his father.
When hh was seventeen he was made plugman of
a pumping engine—a higher post than his father's
-—and had climbed as it seemed, to the top of his
ladder/ What hripe,was >here J tor. a youth who
could not read at seventeen?
But GoOrge hadhope irinhis breast. His en
gine was a lessori4&rik to him.' Hi torik it apart
and put it together again, studied it, loved it, and
when he was told that there were books which
told about engines, he made up his mind to go to
school.
To school he went, and soon learned all that
the village masters could teach. When twenty
years, old he was made brakesman, and began to
think about inventing better,engines than he saw
about him.
Thus working, thinking, reading, he kept on,
avoiding all bad habits, until he built a lpoomotive
that travelled at the rate of four miles an hour
oh a tramway. This was a great affair at that
time. •' 1
His next work was a railway eight miles in
length, and from this point he went on until he
was known as the great railway pioneer of the
world.
George was often laughed at by men who
thought themselves much wiser than he. One
day he was proposing to build an engine' to run
twelve miles an hour. A grave-looking gentleman,
thinking to put him down, said:
M Suppose one of these engines tohe going atong
a railroad at the rate of nine or ten miles an hour,
and that a cow were to stray upon the line, would
hot that be a very awkward circumstance?”
“Yes,” replied Mr. Stephenson, “very awk
ward indeed—for the 'cow ! ”
Thus, by his own industry, did tbe “grit bare
legged laddie” climb to a very high place among
men, Great men, and even.kings, sought his ad
vice, wealth flowed into his purse, his name was
honored, his character respected. At a ripe age
he died and went to His" eternal regard.
Let this sketch of the “grit bare-legged laddie”
cheer on the boys and girls to patient effort in the
path of duty. Learn .sqme.thing every day, Press

Independent.
A Highland widow left, her home early one
morning, in order to reach, before evening, the
residence of a kinsman who had promised to assist
her to pay her rent. She carried on her hack her
only child, a hoy two years old. The journey
was a loDg one. (I was following the same wild
and lonely path when I first heard the narrative
lam about to relate.) The mountain track,.after
leaving the small village by the sea-shore whore
the widow lived, passes through a green valley,
watered by a peaceful stream which flows from a
neighboring lake; it then winds along the margin
of the solitary lake, until, near its farther end, it
suddenly turns into an extensive copse-wood of
oak and birch. From this it emerges half-way up
a rugged mountain-side; and entering a dark glen,
through which a torrent rushes amidst great masses
of granite, it at last conducts the traveller, by a
zig-zag ascent, to a narrow gorge, which is hemmed
in upon every side by giant.precipices; overhead
is a strip of blue sky, while all below is dark and
gloomy. .
From this mountain pass the widow’s dwelling
was ten miles off, and no human habitation was
nearer than her own. She had undertaken a long
journey indeed! But the rent was due some week*
before, and the sub-factor threatened to dispossess
her, as the village in which she lived, and in
which her family had lived for two generations,
was about to be swept away, in order to enlarge a
sheep farm. Indeed, along the, margin of the
quiet stream which watered the green valley, and
along the shore of the lake, might even then be ;
traced the ruins of many a hamlet, where happy ;
and contented people once lived, but where no
sound is.now heard except the bleat of a solitary
sheep, or the scream of the eagle, as he wheels his
flight among the dizzy precipices.
The morning when the widow left her home
gave promise ot a lovely day. , But, before noon, a
sudden change took place m the weather. North
ward, the sky became black and lowering. Masses
of clouds rest! d upon the hill® Sudden gusts of
wind began to whistle among the rocks, and to
ruffle, .with black squalls, the surface of the loch
The wind was succeeded by, ram, and the rain by
sleet, and sleet by a heavy fall of snow. It was
the month of May—for that storm is yet lemem-1
bered as the “great May storm” The wildest
day of winter never beheld flakes of snow falling
heavier or faster, or whirling with more fury
through the mountain pass, filling every hollo.w
and whitening every rook!
Weary, and wet, and cold, the widow reached
that pass with her. child. She knew that a mile i
beyond it th« re was a mountain shieling which
could give. shelter; but the moment she attempted J
to face the storm of snow which was rushing i
through the gorge, all hope failed of proceeding
in’ that direction; To turn home was equally mx- j
possible. She must find shelter. The wild cat’s
or fox’s den would be welcome. .
After wandering for. some?time among the huge
fr graents of granite which skirted the base of the
overhanging precipices, she at last found a more
sheltered . nook. She crouched beneath a pro
jecting edge of track, and pressed her child to her
trembling bosom.
The Btonn continued to rage. The snow was,
accumulating overheads Hour after hour passed.
It became bitterly cold. The evening approached.
The widow’s heart was sick with fear and anxiety
Her child—her only child—was all she, thought
of- She wrapt him m her shawl. But the pool
thing, had been scantily clad, and the shawl,was
thin and worn. The , widow was poor, and her
clothirig’ eould hardly defend herself from the
piercing cold such a night as this. But what
ever was to of herself, her child must be
preserved- The snow, in whirling eddies,-cntered
’ the recess; * which afforded them .at best but mise
rable shelter. _ .
' The night came on. The wretched mother
stripped off almost all her own clothing and
wrapped it round.her child, whom,,at.last, in,de
spair, Bhe put into a. deep crevice of the roek,
among some dried heather, and. fern-.
And now she resolves, at all hazards, to brave
the storm, and return, home, in, order to get as
sistance for her,.babe, or to perish.ins the attempt!
Clasping tier infant to her heart, and covering his
face with tears and kisses, she laid him softly
down in sleep, and rushed into, the snowy drift.
• That nighrof storm was succeeded by a peace
ful morning The sun shone from a clear blue
sky, and wreaths of mist hung along the moun
tain tops, while a thousand waterfalls poured down
their sides Dark figures, made visible at a dis
tanee on the white- ground, might be seen with
long poles, examining every hollow near the moun
tain path. They are people fromvthe village, who
are searching for the widow and her son... They
have reached the pass. A cry is heard by one of
the shepherds, and he sees a bit of a tartan cloak
among the snow- They have found the widow—
'dead; her arms stretched forth as if imploring for
assistance! Before noon, they discovered her
child by his cries. He was safe m the crevice of
the rock. The story of that woman’s affection for
her child, was soon read m language which all
understood. Her almost naked body-revealed her
love. . ..
Mbs. F. B. Gaoe.
Many a tear was, shed, many an exclamation
expressive of: ad miration and affection was uttered,
from enthusiastic sorrowing Highland hearts, when
on that evening the aged pastor,gathered the vil
lagers in the deserted house of mourning, and, by
prayer and fatherly exhortation, sought toimprove
for their souls’ good an,event so sofrowful.
; More than half a century passed away! That
aged- and faithful pastor was long dead, though
his memory still lingers in .many a retired glen
among the children's children of parents whom
he baptized. His-son whose docks were whit' l
with -age,'-was preaching■ to; a-.congregation: o !
Highlanders in ofie of our. great cities.; -It .wa -
on a communion Sabbath. 1
Thc'-subjeot of his discourse was the love c:‘
Christ. In illustrating the aelf-sserificing riatui ;
of'that “love which seeketh not bejVowri,”'!) .•
narrated the above story of the Highland widovi
whom he had himself known in his'boyhood: An
he asked, “If that child is now alive, what woulr
you think of his heart if he did. not cherish a .
affection for his mother’s memory/and if,the
of her poor tattered cloak, which she had wrap:
round him, in order to save his life at the cost
'her'own, didhotfili Him’ with gratitude and loii
too deep for words? Yet what hearts have yof,

MOTHER’S LOVE.
Htttewati gft<ni>gt<.yun ami #*t Utt #Mit§iligl.
glow with deeper love, and with adoring grati
tude?”
A few days after this, a message was sent by a
dying man requesting to see this clergyman. The
request was speedily complied with.
The sick man seized the minister hy the hand,
and, gazing intently in his face, said, “You do
not, you eannot-recognise me. But I know yon,
and knew your father before yon. I have been
a wanderer in many lauds. I have visited every
quarter of : the globe, and fought and bled for my
king and country. ‘I came to this town a few
weeks ago in bad health. Last Sabbath I entered
your church—the church of my countrymen—
where I could once more hear, in the language, of
my youth and of my heart, the Gospel preached.
I heard you tell the story of the widow and her
son ”—here the voice of the old soldier faltered,
his emotion almost cheeked his utterance, but re
covering himself for a moment, he cried, ‘‘lam,
that son!” and burst into a flood of tears. “Yes,”
he continued, ‘flam that son! Never, never; did
I forget my mother’s love. Well might you ask
what a heart should mine have - been if she had
been forgotten by me? Though I never saw her,
dear to me is her memory,.and my only desire
now is, to lay my bones beside hers in the old
churchyard among the hills. But, sir, wluit breaks
my’*heart, and covers me with shame, is this-rr
until now I never saw, with the eyes of the'Soul,
the love of the Saviour in giving Himself for me
—a poor, lost, hell-deserving sinner. I confess
it!-1 confess itl” he cried, looking up to heaven,
his eyes streaming-with tears; and pressing the
minister’s hand close to his breast, he added, “It
was God made you tell that story. Praise be .to
His bofy name, that my dear'mother bas not died
in vain, "and that the prayers which, I was told;
she used to offer for me, have been at last answered,
for the love of my mother has been blessed by the
Holy; Spirit for making, me see, as I never saw
before, the love of the. Saviour. I see it, I believe,
it; I have found- deliverance in,old age where,l
found it in my childhood —m the cltfi of the roc/c;
but it is the Bock of Ages!” and clasping bis
hands, he repeated, with intense fervor, “Can a
mother forget her sucking child, that she should
not have compassion on the son of her womb?
They may forget, yet will I-not forget thee!”
“I WANT TO BE AH ANGEL.”
A correspondent has sent us the following.query:
Will some one be kind enough to inform us who is the
author of this beautiful and popular children’s hymn?
Where and when did it first appear? , M. S.
To this query we are permitted to.give the fol
lowing reply: ' •
As far as we can understand, “I want to be an
Angel,” is “a-voice from the spirit land.” One
Sabbath, some ten years ago, in one of the churches
in this city, (Philadelphia,) a young lady was
teaching her infant school about “ the Happy
Land” where God and the angels dwell —and as
her fancy, guided by the words of Scripture, de
scribed the blessedness and-gloryof those who stand
around the throne day and/, night praising .the
Lamb, many a childish face glowed with enthu
siasm.- One little dark-eyed. girl, (not m.ore than
five years of age,) was so engrossed, as uncon
sciously to elasp her hands'together, and looking
wistfully into her teacher’s face, exclaimed aloud,
<i Oh 1 I want to be ah angel.” A few days passed,
and word came to the teacher’s house that little
L—— was veiy ill, and wanted to see her. An
inflammatory disease had set in, and before the
teacher could reach her bed-side, God bad fulfilled
her wish—“she had gone to be an angel.” The
little hymn, taught the next Sabbath in that.same
infant school, came from a heart deeply in. sym
pathy with that angel child; and the writer de
sires that every little one who learns it *may be
able so entirely to appropriate it to itself, as to
feel that the thoughts and words are its own, un
trammelled by aby association with the name of
an adult author.
The authorship ofrthis child’s hymn has never
been given to any persoD, paper or society, for
publication. Dear little children loved it and
sang it, and taught it to one another, and what
ever popularity it may now enjoy belongs to it,
because the spirit who sang it first in that teach
er’s heart, saw fit to use it as a medium, through
which many a one under a divine influence, might
give expression to its first, early aspirations after
holiness and heaven.
With this answer, we believe our questioner
must be content, as we are not at liberty to be
more explicit.

A ROMANCE IN LITTLE
The following: story, in which Judge- Gould of
the Supreme Court figures, is related by the Tioy
Times :—
“During the first year of his term, Judge
Gould, in riding from Albany to Schoharie to hold
Court, saw upon one of the front seats of the stage
coach a little girl about seven years of age, very
thinly clad, and evidently a child of; poverty. He
invited heT to sit by him,-folded , her well m a
comfortable wrapper he wore, and entered into
conversation.' The girl, who was bright.and .in
telligent, told him that, having lost her home at
Sloan’s, on the road, she was on her way to find
her brother in Schoharie, the only relative she
seemed to know anything of, m the hope that he
would provide for her On reaching Schoharie
the brother, a worthless country fiddler, was found,
hut refused to take charge ol his sister, declaring
he had already enough to provide for The Judge
then directed the keeper of the tavern where .he
was stopping to care for the little girl at his ex
pense'until he should send* for her. Two days
after the brother; when intoxicated, made his ap
pearance at the tavern, andiannounced.liiS' inten
tion of-assuming' the, charge of bis. sister, but the
Jud«u, who was present, refused to allow him to
have’her, and ordered that she should not besur
rendered to him- The circuit closed, and the
Judge, returning to this city, made arrangements
for the reception of his little protege. A few days
later a legal friend accompanied her from Scho
harie to Albany, when she was brought by stage
and left at the door of Judge Gould, with whom
she remained a year, when she was adopted by a
respectable family in New. York;, she has ..been
kept withm his oversight, and is now growing up
finely, in an easy ana reputable condition, with
every gjospect of.doing well in life. , The incident
is a beautiful one, as' showing how the whole cur
rent of a life may be changed by a simple act of
pure benevolence.”
TROUBLES, OLD AND YOUNG.
It is wonderful ton o tic e how equally o,n this
earth, sorrows, sufferings and pleasures,are allotted
to us poor mortals, each according, to his strength.
The young child experiences, in proportion to.its
bwn little, heart, the same grief abdut a broken
toy, as the man whose life’s hopes have been an
nihilated—at the moment, at least, it - feels it
equally • deeply.. The school boy who- has not
learned his lesson,- frequently stands—though his
heart may he pure -and innocent —with the.same
fears, the same:beating heart, before his .frowning
teacher, as the grown up criminal before his. j udge.
With our years our strength increases, hut our
sorrows do' riot 1 decrease) they grow with them.
The broken toy is -succeeded by’ the punishment
of the school ;' the latter by the first’parting'from
home; and, as we grow older, ah! then sorrows
come in battalions, and w 6 consider, each the worst
with .which God has chastised ms* until the suc
ceeding one teaches us. that we were, mistaken. :;
EARLY MARRIAGES:
Tacitus-,says that early, -marriage makes us im
mortal. It is the soul and chief prop of empire.
The man who resolves to live without woman, and
the woman who resolves to live without man, are
enemies, to the. community in. which -they dwell,
injurious tq themselv.es,' destructive to the whole
yrorid, apostates from nature, rehqlsggairist.heayen,
and earth, arid fail tq carry out the d&ign of their

PHYSICAL TRAINING-
Wo think it not-.at aJJ improbable that the
establishment of gymnasia at our two principal seats
of learning—Harvard ;aad Yale —within the last
few months, is an event which, little attention as
it excites, will influence the future of the country
a good deal more than the “organization of the
House ” The political institutions of a nation
have of course not a little to do with its destiny,
but the health and happiness of the individuals
who live under them have a great deal more.
Constitutions and acts of Congress, and decisions
of Courts, are after all hut paper and ink Ihey
owe, *we: were going to say, ail their real to
the mental and .moral characteristics of the men
who are, .to obey them. A great many races and
nations have had just gs good. laws. qa . paper as
ever we have had. They have boasted systems
of jurisprudence "more.logical, more scientifically
arranged, and more comprehensive. It_is not m
legislation that we cari eVbV hope to ‘ defy compe
tition.” Frenchmen,' Mexicans, even Chinese,
have all drawn up codes which a trained jurist
would- pronounce superior to the best efforts of
our lawgivers; but whatever superiority, we can
elaim over our neighbors as an organized com
munity is due, as we have already said, in the
main to he mental and moral .characteristics of
individual men and women; and no one who,
knows anything of the habits of the Anglo-Saxon
races can deny that thesSe characteristics depend,
in a great degree— for their badness or (
goodness—upon the hardness of our muscles and
the strength of our digestion. Tho_ Anglo-Saxon,
race—there is no use-in denying it-r-is a most
gluttonous race, has eiformous appetites, and is
not always scrupulous /in- their gratification) put
it is: also the most industrious and restless race
in the world. There are, no limits to the tasks it
imposqs on its brain and nerves. There are no
men who undergo the tremendous strain to which
professional and business men here, and still more
truly in England, subject themselves- The Ncw-
York or Boston or London barrister or merchant,
in the full blaze of success, is a phenomenon such
as cannot be’witnessed in any other countries.
The German plods nine hours over, bis books, but
he is never excited about his work-, He absorbs
slowly, but he is never intensely agitated, is not
devoured by a merciless ambition, or scourged by
an insatiable activity. The Frenchman, as all
the world knows, is an .exceedingly, clever fellow,
but be is the. last man in the world utterly to
scorn the delights of the cafe, the salon, and the
theatre, and the Boulevards, merely to live labori
ous days. To find people to whom idleness
is misery, to whom night brings no rest and,
morning no Tespite, who spend their days., in
Court ■ or m offices, and . their nights at meet
ings or lectures, or oqtt: their books,. or in the
House of Commons, must study the English
race. Combine with this mueh devotion to law,
and physic, and science, and theology, and com
merce, this feverish thirst for the process which
Brings fame and money, an appetite which is
notoriously equal to an enormous amount of badly
cuoked fish,.meat, vegetables.and pastry, audit
must be. confessed the result is. an .animal w,hich
it is no easy matter to keep in good health. We
have, in short, inherited- the love of our Saxon
forefathers for the good things of this life, hut
have long laid aside the outdoor pursuits which
made them impregnable to the assaults of dys
pepsia. Our pursuits are civilized and refined,
but our hunger continues barbarian. We work
as if we were all nerv.es, and eat as if we were
all muscle. What tire result is we all know.
England? has been savedi by the fact that an idle
and wealthy aristocracy has made outdoor exer
cise, and the leisure that it requires, fashionable.
We, having no such .protection, are falling victims
to all the diseases known* to pharmacy. The
American women have, already succumbed, and
owing to the exertions of. pious professors,, the
ignorant prccaution'of fond parents, in early life,
and an insane devotion fo .money-making in after
years, the men are onTtne edge of the abyss of
ailing 'info which' their mothers and sisters have
fallen: All the irifluendes“under which the stu
dent of the last generation lived, taught him to
associate muscle with" ufowdyism, ruddy cheeks
with cocktails; .with, profane
swearing, and broad shoulders with; neglect of the
ordinances 1 of revealed-religion.-; ■ -. Tallness wits the
only sign of .virtue tolerable and-tolerated. [ r j*}
and weight were held.tqindicate a steady tendency
towards the State prison, and the young
man became pale, .lanky, dyspeptic, , his only
rational notion on ,the subject of health being.con T
tained in a profound contempt for bis own body,
as the author of all His desire
was to be all soul. But this generation, we are
glad to see, is at last beginning to recognize the
truth that if we seek tjp turn ourselves altogether
into* soul, we shall end by-having- the .poorest
possible kind of .-article? -that crushing the body on
behalf of the intellectiis like improving wine by
watering it —what you gam m volume you lose m

SATURN.
Dried up must be the springs of emotion in him
who looks through a good telescope for tbehrst
time upon Saturn, half buried in' his ring of light,
without rapture. It seems some unsubstantial
glory which, magic tube has evoked out of,the
viewless"air. 1 "it.’ltes there bathed in loVely light,
reposing as calmly is ah infant in its cradle. Is :
this form of wondrous beauty yonder jpale star,
which we have seen from childhood, without a
suspicion of the glory that lay hidden behind its
lack lustre beams? What softness 1 what repose!
what symmetry of form! what perfection of out?
line!. what an altogether exquisite thing of beau
ty! ';w:
. Jqpiter,j,oqrnpys around the sun at an amazing
distance outside, the earth’s, orbit, but tbe path of
Saturn is nearly twice as faV. One hundred mil
lions, five hundred millions and nine hundred mil
lions represent nearly the relative distances from
the sub of these planets. We have resorted to a
device ’to think of shch astonishing distances. A
cannon ball shot from the sun, and flying at the"
uniform rate of five hundred miles an hour, would
require about twenty years to reach the earth, and
two hundred to reach Saturn ! -
It will be supposed that a long year is allowed
to this remote planet; to accomplish its journey
around the ,sun; for ite.path js nq less than twenty?
eight hundred millions of miles in extent, While
it is plodding on at the rate of'about twenty-thou
sand mil.es an hour, it sees the earth continually
passing it in its annual circuit, going at the rate
of some sixty-nine therasa'nd miles an hour, and'
gaining the gbal : twenty-nine times and half of
while its.&r-off competitor is qpmpleting
a single' revolution. A Saturnian child born, in
the season of roses will he thirty years old, terres
trially speaking, before the round of seasons shall:
have been completed’ and brought back to jt its
birth-time flowers. " We must suppose the poetic
faculty tb have fits and starts of outcropping at'
long-separated periods of life there, or this sea
sonal: arrangement of Saturn will compel the .Muses,
to be very: partial in their gifts of sobg. Eor the;
inspiration of Spring-time will come to the child
born in the Spring, after it has passed the-poetic
period,pf its life and has become well established
in husiness : .y|Mle ; the infant born in Autumn:
will find when first love is budding in bis bosom,'
that flowers are. budding too, and for seven long
yeark (terrestrial) he will'sing of nothing hut the '
reign of lovely June. But stop, lias Saturn any
alternations of seasons at all? Certainly. His
equator id inclined to; the plane of his orbit in
about twenty-seven degrees, that of the earth
being not far different, viz.: twenty-three and a
half.-
' Saturn is .the remotest of the five old planets,
and. much the largest, after Jupiter, being eight
hundred and fifty times larger than the earth,
though by no means so many times heavier. In
deed the results oft; observation and calculation fas
respects the density of this planet are startling.
It is found to be about half as heavy as an equal
bulk :of water, or about twice that of cork. What
sort of inhabitants such a state of things can sus
tain is no easier imagined than described. The
author of the “Plurality of Worlds” speaks of
them as likely to be “aqueous, gelatinous crea
tures;,” .'too sluggish almost to;be deemed alive,
floating on, their ice*cold waters, Jshrouded for
ever by their “humid skies.” That Saturn is
enveloped in vapor appears from several cloudy
streaks which 1 engirdle his sphere parallel to his
equator, analogous: to those so conspicuous on Ju
piter’s disc; ! r
' In common with the other, great planets, Sa
turn has a day of about ten hours. This furnishes
a : remarkable contrast, between the four small
and the four large planets—the former having,
alike, a i day of about'twenty-four hours- If the
case were reversed it would not seem at all singu
lar. But that planets like. Jupiter and Saturn,
the former having a volume of some twenty-eight
thbhsahd- and the latter some seventeen thousand
times that of Mercury should yet whirl round on
their sixes in two-fifths of the time which the little
planet heedsyseems-unaccountable.' The effect of
this rapid'rotation, is apparent in the flattened
discs of alf the larger planets. The. equatorial
diameter of Saturn is some eight thousand miles
greater.than^heipolar;in consequence; that of the
earthbeing only twenty-seven /miles greater from
the same cause of axial rotation.
