Chicago dispatch, Hh. Thirty live girls were grievously dis appoint! d on Sunday. For nine weeks liny fondly expecled lo he translated from earth to heaven in a body, but the ascent did nut come off according to expnelatirins. The event was lu have taken place en Sunday fn in Hyde Park. At 5,187 Madison avenue there slands a lit tie chtich, the pastor of which is the Hev. 0. II. Larson. He is a Swede, and the small congregal inn is made up of that nationality, Swedish servant girls piedomiualirg. The Members if the cengrrgalious call thems'lves the"Children of God." It is in this church that for the past nine weeks a small company of fam!ic have aliu ist literally "prayed without ceasing." According to the peculiar doctrines of this church, its inuubcis are the chosen people of God, and Sunday was fined upon as the millennium, for it was tho day on which ihey were to leave the world and pass lo eternal felicity. Accordingly the members of ihe con gregalion prepared themselves for ihe great event. On Sunday moruing early thirty live Swedish girls assembled in Parson Larson's church fur the expected ascent. They knew not tho hour, but they were certain the event was to occur, and they waited patiently and rcveieutly fur it. All day long and far into Ihe night they sat in prayer, waiting lo be called away, but the call iiovir came. Tired out at last ihey left tho church a disappointtd company, but still linn in the faith 1 1 tat they would yet be called lo heaveu at no distant day. GIANTS ON THE PLANETS. THE SIN OF FRETTING. 1IKI.E hunt's famoi-h LITTLE SER MON ON THE SI llJEI T. MKIIITV .IlIl'ITEft WHOSE DIAMETER. IS EI.EV1N TIMES THAT OF THE EARTH. Our most eminent astromers do not pretend to give in ex ict reckonings on the great floating worlds outside of our own sular system, but within that mon aggregation everything has been reduced to certainty. The kingpin, of this solar system is Jupiter, "mighty Jupiier, the colossal giant of all I he suu kissed worlds." His diameter is about SS,0llfl our miles, biing about eleven tiiu-s that id' our own globi the circumference 27f,000 miles at ihe equator, which would give the giaut a volmu exceeding that of the earth by 1.2S 1 times. Were it possible, says the St. Louis Republic, to bring the earth and .lu, iter together ihat ihe dislanec separaiing llieai would he lit great ;r than lh.il which now s 'per ites the e.u lh froai the nitiun about 5111,000 miles what a woudoroiis sight would be in store for the re-i loirs of our little globe The world of Jupiier would appear tu us to have a diameter forty limes larger ill in ill it of our UMial uiigliiy alt, mlanl. and ihe sur face of his disk Would occupy a space greater than that of III full moons. And this giaut of plai.ela is removed from the sun by a distance of ll)l!,0Oi),00J miles; has an orbit of m ire than 1,000, 000,000 miles in extent, and nukes a a circuit of iti c'les'.i.il track oneo every 1,1132 days. Tluu it will be seen that a year on Jupiter iseiinl to eleven years ten months and seventeen days on our globe. The imniensiiy of the world ol Iiipileranditsorbit may be approximately measured by this comparison: lu order to complete its or'nit in the lime given ah ive it must speed around the sun wilh a velocity of "00,000 miles a day, or a little more llian eight miles pur seeonl MMOS OV Tltl'TII. There is one sin which it seems to uto is everywhere, and by everybody is un il resiimaled and ijuile too much over looked in valuations of character, It is as common as air, as speech so common that unless it rises above its usual mono tone we do not even observe it. Watch any ordinary coming trgcthcr of people and we see bow many minutes it will be beloru somebody Irels lhat is, makes more or less complaining statement of something or other, which most probably everyone in the room or the ear or on (he slrcct corner knew before, and which most probably nobody can help. Why say anything about il? It is cold, it is wet, it is diy, suuiebody has broken an appointment, ill cooked a meal; stupidity or bad faith somewhere thas resulted in discomfort. There are plenty of things to fret about. It is limply astonishing how much annoyance and discomfort may be found in Ihe courte of every day's liviug, even at the simplest, if one only keeps a sharp eye out on (hat hide of things Kveu Holy Writ says we arc burn to tumble as sparks fly upward. Hut even lu I he sparks flying upward, in the black -t of smoke, there is a blue sky above, and the less liuie they waste on the road the so .uer they will reach it. Fretting is all time wasted on the road. Helen Hunt. PROUD FATHER.

Occasionally li i l one who promises to be small, but he finally does something to cuuviuco me that he ii a fool like the rest of us. Every little while a young mau is pointed out tome who is said lo be very promising, and 1 watch him, hoping tu know a smart man, but he drills into the ways of his father and makis tho luislakes common to other men. I don't believe it was ever intended lhat there should be any smart men. The hi d who occupy the disiiir guUhcd positions ure found on exaiiiina. t i i ii to be exactly like other men. When they are playing seven up they stand when they should have begged; ihey marry the wrong woman and make invest ments lhat they should not have made.
