The •lne araa heard to say
"Else. lying low and helpless,

Trawled o'er by every reptilei.
lAnd browsed by buhgry tine."
The rant was moved to pity ;
Then spoke the generous, tree:
"My hapless friend, come hither:
And find sopport in me."
The kindly Elm, receiving
The graceful Vine's embrace,
Bec . anae, with that adornment,
The garden's pride and grace ;
Became the chosen coverd
In which the wild birds sing:
Became the love of the Shepherds,
And the glory of the spring.

THE 7TENNIAT•.
No description of the Centennial
can convey any adequate idea of the
grandeur, magiiitude and magnili
,
Cence of the Centennial Exhibition.
It 'must be seek to be appreciated ;
but the following description of the
Maim Building will aid the visitor in
comprehending. the wonderful.:sight :
If the Main Building does not stir,
pass in beauty and wealth of con
tents Aladdin's Palace, it comes very
near to it. No building certainly, in
this country, and, probably in the
world, ever eontained so many beau
tiful things. of nature and art, oi•
had anytr:in7 like the wealth stored
in it that this has. It has such an
abundance and variety of subjects to
describe That one hardly knows
where to commence. It• would be
hard to say Which country carries otr
the palm. The United States, prob
ably, has the most articles beneficial
to man and beast, that will develop
a country; promote the Welfare and
increase the wealth of its people ;
but, if we' want to see some of the
curiosities of vegetable, animal and
mineral life, we must go to Mexicd
and Brazil. TO see the new research
es in chemistry, the wonderful pro
gress made in ameliorating theicon
ditiOn of the wounded on the field of
battle and in the hospital. rand a Per
fect system of education, Germany I
must, be visited., The French Be
partment is a fair photograph of the
Gay France of Napoleon 111. It is
the gayest of all the departments—
with its thousands of Parisian dress
es, Lyons velvets,, expensive - hose
and indescribable boots and shoes—
and yet it has some of the most beau
tiful and useful article. in the exhi
bition: Belgium, with - its incompar
able laces and linens, makes a more
brilliant show than Switzerland, but
not one near as good for the welfare
of humanity. Switzerland puts, 'as
it *ere, in the'backgroand her fine
muSlins and laces, and brings .tor
ward her display of educational fa=
cilities. her matimMatical and astro
nomical .inyentionS and her indus
tries, proving that her modest little
government thinks of somethiEg else
than of tickling her peoplftith a
straw, or pleasing them with a rattle.
, England has, on . the whole, the
most solid display in the
There is something substantial about
it—whether we look at her clothes,
her cutlery, her furniture, or pottery
and china ware, or her magnificent
works in gold and silver,•the impres-,
sion is left that her display is charae
teristk' of ar as f nation—robust,
manly and useful. Then she shows
in her colonies, in the East and West
Indies. Australia and Canada, how
she has helped them develop a
zation that is of marked benefit to
mankind' and a source of pride to
her..
Sweden and Norway prove how
judicious were the Commissioners ,
that. selected their exhibits. They.
have not only shown, us how (their
people_ live. but how they work. in
iron and steel,, in ship-building and
in carving, and in all the trades that
make a nation far from being de l .
pendents on their neighbors or for
eigners. -
Italy chooses to show her fine arts,
her settings of precious stones, her
wond#rful mosaic work, her - carvings
and her sculpture. The South,Amcri
can States Conterit themselves with
what arc taken frOm their soil, their
trees, their animals and their tombs.
Russia, with ncr
,tnamenite min her
furs, no less than her works in bronze, ,
gold, and silver, makes up in the
wealth of her display for the slimness
of the exhibits. whilst Anstria ri.Ml

Foreigners travel been astonished at
the progress we bave made in carpet-
Weaving, and many Americans, when
they see this display, will be asham
ed of the little knowledge they have
of what is fatt, becoming one of the
principal inttries or the country.-
In close imXimity will be found
the great displa of textile fabrics—
ealieoes of ever) l grade and design—
threads that equhl the best English,

tools, those whoi work only in peace

their exquisite, and at the same time
strong locks, i. very large. They
can be found in the shape of cannon
balls buffets and secretaries.
To the left of j the main aisle the ,
workers in tin( brass and coppc i r
make their display, showing articles,
not only common in the household,'
but others that are useful in scienti,
tic and surgical -esea.rehe's.

display of furni ure, :which is remark.,

of visitors, who are lost in aniaze

extent of the exhibit. Thereare - also

wealth of litS productions and the
engineering skill.of its partisans, but
you ,willalst see the finest paper

thing in the Japanese departments.
There are two series of •piaTtes of'
this kind of work, illustrative of the
life of-William Tell and of the story
of Faust and Marguerite. The -(14.

hard to say where. she excels, in her
silks or her jewelry. Her display of
the former is very large. You will
find there silks of all!shades,' and !for
all prices. Velvets that are so costly
that potentates alone could buy
them, and Parisian dresses that wbuld
cost over $5;000. Laces there . are in

ficial flowers also attract attention ;
there are many specimens so exquis

have a' correct and life-like'represen,
tation of!. their soldieii, their wed
ding% their watchmakers, their hunt
ers and iicenes in their home life.
The Mosti striking group is in Nor
way, and repr)esents a child dying,
with the Mother bending over it, the
father at the' head of the cradle with
the Bible'inihis hand, but too intent
ly watching the sick child to look lit
its , pages, and the . grandparents at
the foot,',gazing at the • little one,
whose breath , is fast leavinc , it. In
Norway there is •a representation of
a man; his' wife, a reindeer and sled.
The man is about taking a ride and
his wife is coming towards.him with
the lighted pipe in her hand.
Sweden makes a good display of
iron and steel and in her cases excel-
lent wood caving. Norway gives
us a. representation of - a Norwegian'
ship of,the 15t1 century, such a one
as was sent otit by the Government

'The

habit' of signalizing important itic

astrononneal phenomenon. Many
of the,latter could scarcely be identi.:
fled now ; but,, since we know that
their' Sothis is our star Sirius., we are
easily able 'to fix the rare periods of
its heliacal rising. This is the astron
omical terip,,inged when a jstar, after
being in conj Unction with the sun
andinvisible,.emerges.from the light,
sufficientlyto be seen just before sun

his disco Very to the astronomer Mot,
who made! the necessary calculations,
whence it appears that the heliacal

the reign Menkeres, must have taken

he had made calculation independent
