Whose bright progression on the sky we trace!
From what untitthomed depths art thou a ran-
Ambassador from what celestial race?
Art thou some envoy extraordinary,
With shining train attenuated very !
Though undisclosed, thou halt, I think, a mis

Coming with blazonary that frights the stars,
'Mid whose grand hierarchies thy position
We dimly guess beyond bewildering bars,
On which we beat t.ur scientific pinions—
Spent with far flight in limitless dominions.
Did Sirius semi thee on thy blazing passage,
Charged with some secret for our sovran sun
And,glowirg with the zeal of thy embassage,
Thy flight grows faster till thy task be done ?
When from his august throne in pride returning t
We may descry again thy pathway burning !
Or art thou one of Neptune's icy neighbors
Come up with tribute to his king and thine ?
I wot his glance has quickened thy slow labors
And made the dimness of the distance shine ;
Fur they most ride on dull and dismal pinions
Whose circuit milts reach twenty thousand
1 millions!

The credit thine, and mine the cash alone
How I might laugh at all the learned doctors,
The Royal Institutions and their Proctors I
Dust marvel that no more with ghastly terrors
(As hi the past thy prototypes were seen)
We view thy face: but tearing only errors
In judging what thou art and when has been ;
How many ells of cloth of gold thy train took,
And bow intense its hues from Charles's Wain

Perhaps, since once a comet scared Calixtits,
And prompted - him to ban it with his come,

In dread of direful dangers to befall it

And on some Papal bull or priestly chnstn

It may be thou comest ttith pretension
To have a tilt with this old globe of ours
And in our bosoms kindle apprehension
Oi bursting bolides metoric showers
Or, at the least, of most unearthly odors,
Of deadly maladies the lbul loreboders !
But slum we scan the sky with magic glasses
Sitting their flamer the tell-tale prism through
We boldly challenge each queer craft that pass

And be it planet, asteroid or comet,

To crunch oar globe its fiery jaws between ;
A mighty mass, all dubious and diaphanous.
Thy claims to frighten us am quite too thin ;

With our extinguisher, of Babcock's patent !

MISCELLANEOUS READING
AFTER YEARS OF WAITING
"I shall see you to-night, Mrs. Kath
lane ?"
"At the Grangers? Yes, I shall be there
I hope it won't be a rush."
Rupart Thornbnry smiled as he looked
down at the speaker. Something had
evidently put her out. "Are you often
viciously disposed, Mrs. Kathlane ? It is
news to me,'
"I wish you would not call me that,
Rupert- Mrs. Kattilane . You do it on
purpose, and I don't like it?
The last words were spoken like a pet
ulant child, and there was a cloud on the!
face which looked up for a moment from
the soft, vividly-colored wools which the
white and slender fingers were knitting
into some incomprehensible 'fancy work.'
A very beautiful face it was, and a very
beautiful woman was little Mrs. Kath.
lane ; anu no one in the wide world was
more thoroughly convinced of this fact
than Rupert Thornbury.
She was slight and small in figure—
girlish- looking still, despite her four-and
twenty years. No other woman would
have dared, with her complexion , tn wear
the colors she did--often in defiant* of
ordinary rides. She wore, this morning,
a deep royal purple dress, with purple
bands in her dark hair,andlooked charm

hind r.Ci a high golden comb. Her face
WAS almost marvellous in its perfect form
and brilliant coloring ; and her great
dark eyes, with their long lashes, were
enough of themselves to turn au ordinary
man's head.
"I don't like it," said she. again, giant.-
ing at her companion,Who was abstractly
tangling the bright wools, apparently
lust in thought, "and I shall be seriously
angry with you if you presist in being so
formal, For it is formal, after von have
known me since I was a little child, to
speak as though we were strangers."
"I'll not call you so again, 'Millicent.
Only—" Mr, Thornbury paused.
"Only what ?" returned the imperious
little lady, giving him another searching
glance.
"Things have changed a great deal
since you were a child, Millicent. Yon

tered; and I—but it is no good talking of
these things. I must be going.-W ill you
promise me the first waltz to-night?'
"Certainly. I hope you appreciate my
kindness. I waltz very rarely you know."
Amos lizonov,
MONTROSE, PA., WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 5, 1874.
"I do appreciate it; and now I must go
down to that "stupid old office," as you
call it, and make up for lost time. Good
morning, ; don't forget your
promise," and then he was gone.
Gone, and unconscious, as he walked
swiftly down the street, that Millicent
Kathlane's dark eyes were looking after
him, and that when turned back to her
work, a soft sigh fluttered from her beau
tiful lips and a shadow clouded her beau

scarcely six years had passed since he I

him that Millicent, "hie little Milly," was

Mr. Kathlune died suddenly arter two or

"Every one has your critical eves, Miss
Granger," said Rupart laughing. "I
thought her dress charming."
"Of course," Miss Cornelia was not an
amiable girl, us we have said, and at that
moment her temper was pinching her
rather sourly, "Perhaps you make one'
of those who are wild over her, Mr.
Thornbury ?"
"It would be of no use to me. I expect

"So report runs," said Miss Granger,

"To whom ? I had not heard of it."
"To Mr. Worthington ; a cousin, of her

"I know him," cried RuArt, feeling he
knew not how. "Dick Worthington's

"She may not think so. It was said
there was a great deal of intimacy before
Mr. Kathlaue died. She married him

"Are you quite certain your informa

The pale eyes glanced at him and then
looked away.
"About the etignement ? Quite sure

sure of it, I am neither more nor less

THE' BRIDAL OF THE BORE.
Fanned by delicious odors Irons the sahib,
And crowned with lig!lt, the lovely Rosebud
grew
A Sunbeam came and kissed her ruddy mouth.
Chasing away the diamond drops of dew !
She hung her head, whereon a wreath of green
Meekly adorned her fair and faultless face!
The kingly Sunbeam hailed her for his queen,
And feasted on the banquet of her grace I
All day his kisses pressed her fragrant mouth,
While round them sang the birds unceasingly
All day the winds wereblowing froni the south,
And lillies murmured underneath the tree!
No clouds obscured her lover from her view—
The sky above Was ono broad dome of blue
The butterflie s , with gorgeous silken wings,
Came near the Rose on her bridal morn:
The music of a thousand mystic things,
Like wedding bells, upon the air was borne I
A white convolvulus had climbed the tree
And close it preened behind the blushing bride!
Around them gaily bummed the velvet bee—
On opening buds that bloomed on every side !
A veil of splendor o'er the Rose was thrown I
The linnet sang: "Tbe bridal hour has come!"
And so the Sunbeam made the Rose his own !
And Love. immortal Love, made glad their
home I
Her ruby leaves unclosed fur very bliss.
And heavenward lifted up her lace to his !
THEATRES IS SHAKESPEARE'S TM&
There were already seventy theatres in Lon
don in Shakespeare's time, so brisk and univcr
sal was the taste for dramatic representations
great and rude contrivances, awkward in their
construction, barbarous in their appointments ;
but a fervid imagination readily - supplied what
they lacked, arid hardy bodies endured all In
conveniences without difficulty, On a dirty
site, On the banks of the Thames, rose the'prin-
cipal theatre, the Globe, a sort of hexagonal
tower, surrounded by a muddy ditch, on which
was hoisted a red flag. The common people
could enter as well as the rich ; there was six-
penny, twopenny, even Denny seats, but they
could not set it without money. if it rained,
as it often rained In London. the people in the
pit—butchers, mercers, bakers. sailors, appren
tietz—reeeived the streaming rain npon their
beads. I suppose they did not trouble them
selves about it ; it was not so long since they
began to pave the streets of London ; and
when men like these have had experience of
sewers and pudilles,they are not afraid of catch•
ins cold,
While they are waiting for the piece they
amuse themselves after tueir fashion, drink beer
crack nuts, eat fruit, howl, and, now and then,
resort to their fists ; they have been known to
fall upon the actors, and turn the theatre up
side down. At other times they were dissatis
fied, and went to the tavern to give the poet a
hiding, or toss him in a blanket ; they were
coarse fellows, and there was no month when
the cry of "Clubs" did not call them out of
their shops to exercise their brawny arms.—
When the beer took effect there was a great up
turned barrel In the pit, a peculiar receptacle

cleanliness to speak of. Remember that they
were hardly tint of the middle age, and that in
the middle see man lived on a. dunghill. Above
them, on the stage were the spectators able to
pay a shilling, the elegant people, the gentle
folks. These were sheltered from the rain,and,
if they chose to pay an extra shilling, could
have a stool. To this were reduced the pre
rogatives of rank and the devices of comfort.
It often happened that there were not stools
enough ; then they lie down on the ground.—
This was not a time to be dainty. They play
cards, smoke, Insult the pit, who gave it them

swear at them in Italian, French, and English;
crack aloud jokes in dainty, composite, high
colored words ; in short, they have the ener
getic, original, gay manners of artists, the same
humor, the same absence of constraint, and, to
compleie the resemblance, the same desire to

A TEN-THOUSAXD DOLLAR GIRL
On a certain day, on a Pennsylvania railroad,
a belle of a thriving Pennsylvania town, the
daughter of a wealthy lumber merchant, was
traveling in the same car with a shrewd old cit•
Izen of her native town and an agreeable young
gentleman from the West who tells the arory,
The latter bad been talking to the belle ; but
as eight drew on and the!!froung lady grew
drowsy, he gave up his seat ' - to her and placed
himself beside the somowbat cynical Pennsyl-;
vanian. The latter began conversation by
pointing to ft high mountain past which they
were whirling. and mid
"You see that mountain ? Six or eight years
ago it NMI covered with as fine a forest as ever
grew, and was wor.ht 11.10,030 and upward.—
Now, without a tree, Layered with stumps, the
land is scarcely worth a continental. The net

'•that is my calculation. It has just absorbed
all of that lumber, which her rather owned, to

THE CHEMISTRY OF FURNITURE.
Young housekeepers do not always under
stand the theory of the chemical and mechani
cal action of different substances on articles
of furniture. The substances from which fur
niture is chiefly exposed to injury are water,
oils, alcohols, and acids.
Acids act on 31arble. Marble te Itself com
posed of carbonate of Iron; that Is. it Is a com
pound of carbonic add and lime. Now, the
carbonic acid has a comparatively weak affini
ty fur lime, and most other acids will prevail
over it, and take its place when brought in con•
with it,thus destroying the texture of the stone
liberating the =inmate acid, and leaving ni•
tratare of limo, or mariate of lime, or sulphate
or acetate of lime, as the case may be, In the
form of a white powder,-in Its place. Bat oils,
alcohols, and water produce no effect on mar
ble.
Am varnished or polished surfaces of wood, on
the other hand, while not injured usually by
acids, are attacked by alcohol. Varnishes are
composed of different gums and resins, which
are generally soluble In alcohol. Many of them
are made by dissolving the materials in alcohol
so as to liquify them ; and then, when they
are applied, the alcohol evaporates, leaving the
gum or resin in a thin, even coating over the
surface. If, now, any alcohol substance comes
upon such a surfbee, whether it be alcohol !W U'
as used for lamps, or spirits of any kind, or ev
en wine, which contains but a small percentage
of alcohol, a portion of it is dissolved, and the
brilliancy of the surface is destroyed.
Oils will not attack either marble or varnish
ed surfaces, and will do no injury except to
naked woßd, or other porous substances, which
admit them into the pores, from which they
cannot aiterWards be easily expelled.
Water effects no substances except such as
have open pores—in which case It enters, and
causes the substance to swell ; or such as are
soluble In water, as glue In Joints, and mucilage
or gum Arabic, used sometimes for attaching
ornaments to fancy work.
THE DANGERS OF EAR-RINGS
An Inquest held at Liverpool the other day
on the body of a little girl, aged eight years,
the daughter of a sailor, conveys a lessen with
regard to ear-rings,which is, at all tvents,worth
the attention of woman, it she can divert her
thoughts for a moment from the pursuit of her
rights. The unfortunate child, whose death
formed the subject of inquiry, about three
weeks ago underwent the operation of having
her ears pierced with a stocking-needle. After
the eats were pierced, two ear-rings belonging
to her mother were put In them. A few days
later a blister came behind one ear ; then the
jaw began to swell ; worse symptoms ensued,
and on Saturday last the child died. The med
ical evidence was to the effect that death had
resulted from exhaustion consequent upon the
intense inflamation caused by the piercing of
the ears, and the jury returned the verdict ac-
cordingly. Ot course, if women choose to
have their ears pierced, it would be Imperti
nence on the part of man to remonstrate
against the self-infficted torture ; but there can
be no harm in suggesting that. children might
be allowed to reach years of discretion before
they are called upon to follow the example of
their elders and betters in this respect. It is,
however, only fair on woman to admit that ehe
did not invent the practice of car-plercing.—
According to the Mohammedans, Abraham be
gan it. In one of Sarah's jealous Ms respect
ing !lager she declared that she would not rest
until she bad dipped her hands in Ila,gar's
blood. In order to quiet Sarah and enable her
to redeem her promise without further upset
ting her household, Abraham pierced ifagar's
ears and drew rings through them. From that
time ear-rings became the fashion.
TIDAL WAVES.
The following Interesting Information relative
to tidal waves Is given by Professor Van der
Weyde. Tidal waves are the only manifesta
tion of the attraction of sun and moon on the
surface of the earth. If the earth were entirely
surried by the ocean the solar tidal wave
would eel round the whole earth In twenty
four hours, which Is a velocity 14000 mike net
hour. The lunar wave would trove round the
earth in twenty-five hours, at a velocity of 800
miles per hour. As, however, the continents
aro everywhere interposed except round the
South Pole, it is only there that this wave mo
tion takes place. and from this region it is pro
pagated northward into the Indian Ocean and
in the Atlantic, where it attains Its greatest
magnitude. It propagates from Van Diemen's
Land in twelve hours to the coast of Elindostan
and in another twelve hours from the Gape or
Good Rope to Senegal. Twelve hours latex it
has reached the coast of Great Britian, and,
turning round Scotland, reaches Norway 'and
Denmark, to an opposite direction—namely,
jfrom west to east.
-
,lta velocity of propagation depends on the
depth of the ocean. It is only when the deittlt
exceeds, 0,000 fathoms that the velocity is es
great as the revolution of the earth. At %depth.
Of 1,000 fathoms it travels with the velocity of
250 miles on hour, and when- the depth is 100
fathoms the velocity is 100 miles. At 20 fhth
oms it is 80 miles, 10 fathoms 22 miles, and 1
fathom ft miles. This law, which was diserme
ered by Russell, Is so reliable that it hail been
possible to determine the &gab of the ocean
by the velocity of the third wave.
