Schwartz, The discoveries of science are becoming more astonishing every day; and in no de-. partment are those more interesting than the recent researches of astronomers in lunar geo graphy, • Until quite recently, the surface of the moon has been supposed to be a vast lifeless desert. Astronomers have abused the moon in every possible way. They' have Said there was no heat in moonshine. They have denied the moon an atmosphere,'and consequently water an organic life: They have made us believe that a residence in the moon would be exceed ingly undesirable. The old faith in the God,- dem of the Night was quite overturned in scien tific circles, and flic fascinations of moon-light were departing day by day. But all this is changed, and the present al quaintance 'Of long-eyed science with our satel lite is very succinctly set forth in a summary carefully prepared for the New York Tribune, from which wo learn that Knox and Melloni have shown, by very exact observations, 'that there is heat in.the moon's rays. Zantedeschi has discovered that this heat produces a sensi ble effect upon the mimosa. An English phil osopher has found that the earth is colder dur ing the first quarter of the moon than it is in the second. Upon the growth of plants the moon exer cises a remarkable influence. The chemical action of light is necessary to their principal work, the absorption of carbon from the car bonic acid gas of the atmosphere. This work all plants carry on during the day and in the night they sleep—except when the moon shines. She wakes them and sets them at work. So the farmers who plant only just before the full iiioon are. right, and tho scoffers who pall them superstitious are themselves the foolish ones. For, if sown before or near now moon, the young plants get above ground just at the, full, when the tender things need sleep. But if sown just before the full, they come up about new moon, pass their babyhood under the smoothing influences of dark nights, and when the full moon comes are sturdy urchins, able to work night and day. . • The moon-worshipers are right, also, in re gard to the influence of the moon upon the weather.. Herschel, Arago and Whewell roc ognised that the moon had some slight power in dispersing clouds. The sailors go further, and say the moon eats up the clouds. At the last meeting of the British Association, it was shown that the weather through a long series of years depended a little—a very little—upon the phases of the moon, and Quotelet, the Di rector of the Brussels Observatory, has.shown that between the first and last quarters of the moon, more, and not leis rain falls than during . the remainder of the time.. However, fine weather and greater rain-fall may go together. Finally, Weeb, after a careful comparison of the present appearance of the moonwith the very precise maps made by Madler some twen ty years ago, has shown that there have 'been considerable changes. Some of the small-cra ters, in particular, have a notably different .form from what they had when Madler observed them.. These changes show the existence of Water and an atmosphere. Father Secohi r Director of the ROlllii . ll Observatory, after much observation has come to the conclusion that the peaks of the highest mountains on the moon are covered with snow. And, to make us still more at home on the .moon. Do la Rive, the owner of the observatory at CraWford,inear London, gives it.as his opinion that what were at first marked down as seas, and • afterwards supposed to be barren plains, are in fact ex tensive forests. In support of this comes upa great astronomic authority---Schwabe, the dis• covery of the periodic times of the sun's.spots. Besides these great smooth plains, which were called seas, there are a number of furrows and wrinkles, nearly a hundred, the nature of which is entirely unknown., Their length varies from three to thirty-five miles, and their' greatest breadth is about five thousand . feet; moat of them are considerably narrower. Their sides are .parrallel and smooth ; some are , ran in straight lines, and some are gently curved.— Ordinarily they are separate, but smne-times they.cross crntork,but occasionally they seem: to be cut off by themi .They are found all over the surface of the moonoixcept on the highest mountain chains. J. T. BURIIGIE Of these fifrrows SchWabe heti made careful study at various times. Ho 'found ' them to consist of very fine parallel dark lines, sepa rated by clear spaces. A few 'Months later, the lines of streaks had disappeared,.but after a little while they returned; to disap pear. In this periodio change he thinkelhat he finds proof that these lineS are roars of trees, and the clear streaks petween them are 'the bare wound seen when the trees are leafless; When the trees ate in full leaf, .the ground. is so covered as to produce a uniform shade, and the lines disappear. . .• ' Nothing • isantore,'natitral than to siqqiose that the dark .spots on 'the moon. are forests but how shall we-accountfor-_ the growth of those trees in right. lino?

How TO KEEP 311;N:AT :Hous.::—Experience is a dear and often a sad school, as exemplified in•the following remarks, as furnishedd - -by a correspondent to a morning paper of a. recent date. - Hear him ' for his cause, and drop tear of pity: , •Ile says: " There:would be fewer wretched marriages, fewer ditsipated clograile4 mon, ifyornen wore taught to feel the angel duty which devolves on thdri to keep the wandering steps of those who are tempted so much more than they, in the paths of virtue, and peace—to make them feel that, in the busy, world are noise and confusiori, , that at home, there are order and repose, that their eyes lopk. brighter when they come; that the smile of welcome is ever ready to receive them; the : works, the books aro ever ready to be laid aside to minister to the husband'spleasure ; they would find amusement then at home, aor, strive to seek it elswhere. And not alone to the higher classes of society should this be taught.; it should be a lesson instilled into . the minds of. all—high and low, rich and poor. Fewer:hdart-broken wives, weeping and scold ing, would stand wating at the doors of public houties to load the unsteady steps of their drunken husbands home, if that home had of ferrod a room as cheerful, afire as bright, a welcome as ready and cordial as at the tap room they frequent. Duty has seldom so strong a hold.on men•as woman they cannot, will not, for duty's sake remain in a dull tedious, or ill-managed, quarrelsome home, but leave it to seek olSewhere the comfort and amuse ment which fails thorn there; and when riot and revelry have done their work, the wives and sisters who haVe done so little to make them otherwise, are pitied for their bad hus bands and brothers." Ilmusa.—Higher I lisps the infant that clasps its mother's knees and makes its feeble efforts to rise from the floor,—it is the first inspira tion of childhood to burst the narrow confines of its cradle in which the sweetest • moments. have passed forever! Higher ! laughs the proud school boy at his , swing as he climbs the tallest trees. of the for• est, that ho may look down on his less.adven turous conpanions . with a flush of exultation and abroad over the fields and meadows of his native village. He never saw Such extended prospects before. . . Higher ! earnestly breathes the student of philosophy and nature he has.a host of rivals but ho must . eclipse them all.. The.midnight! oil burns dim,,but he finds light andinowledge in the lamps of Heaven, and his soul is never weary when the last of them are hid behind. the curtains of morning. And higher ! his voice thunders forth when' the dignity of manhood has invested his form; and the multitude is listening with delight to his oracles, burning with oloquenee, r and ring ing like true steel in the cause of freedom and right. And when, time has changed locks to silver, and world wide is his renown; when the maiden gathering, flowers, by the roadside, and the boy in the field bow In revel-, ' ewe as he passes,, and peasants look to him with honor, can he breathe forth from his heart the fond wish of the past.
