i The belter part of u* grows by learning
| just as the material part of us does by
i taking tood. The eye dues huneer once
j ill a while to look up and try to get hol'i i
|of ilie methods and principles by mean- j
of wht- h astrouonier* and others have I
I eoinu to ilie knowledge that they possess
i of the worlds about us.
"Of course I need not tell any of you
I that you live on a little baJl of wat*r
! aud rock, which is not hung in space as
' the geographies tell us—uo mre hung
i than the ball which lias been struck by
j the bat of a ball player—but rushing
j through space with a velocity more than
| fifty times as as any ball. The
! ball on which ws live is moving irouud
| the Kun, and moving iu (lie same way as
| the earth wo tiud eight larger planets,
Iloir of which are conspicuous. Now,
we have been able to make out pretty
certainly the size and dimensions of our
own oarib. That is nocso very difficult.
We have reached out further, aud now
wo are able to tell wah considerable ac
| curacy very nearly how far away and j
bow large the suu H. We are trying to '
1 reach out for tile slats. t cannot ■
' tell exactly how iar tuey may be, i>u
*e ..::ow that our nearest neigl.b. rs art
it a uki.u tioiuoudousdistrin :t-~tie,. ,'1 I
j tL« reach of human conception. The '
j earth is about 5i,0U1) miles in diameter. 1
jlf you could mane a straight railroad I
| around the equator it would take jusi j
j about twenty-six days to u ska the eir- !
cuU of it at forty miles au hour, without 1
atif change of station?. No practical
I means ul conveyance will take you ;
aroiiad in less than three months.— J
Then the uioon, our next neighbor, ir
al>_,ni t.iirty limes as far uwav ss thi*
earth's ciainetrr—aiiuti; !!-{J,(. vO u.iles.
I —l'liat is not so very tuconci i able. j
| Then, when we come to the sen, we find j
j it* distance is about four hundred tiuies
las great as that of the moon—about:
'J0.000,000 of miles.
| "Those figures mean nothing until
you tase an illustration. Take a tail- i
i road from the earth to tho sun with a '
train rutiuing forty miles au hour with- |
: out stops, aud it would take about 12(55
years and a little over to ma.o tne jour- j
ney. So that, if the firs' settlers of
I this country, at the time tbey Mutletl
| from their mother country, hud started j
from the sun by this railroad they woulc
be just reaching this couniry new. liut I
very few of them could have afforded it, !
lor even at a cent a mile tbe fare would j
\ have been $950,100. You fee ? There
1 are very few people even in New York, i
that coeld ufli rd to go to the sun at that
cheap rale of fare. Hut when we come
| to consider the nearest star, whose dis
tance is two huudred thousand times as I
| great, wc can do nothiug with it, even
in our imagination, if we should count 1
tbe money that it would take for a rail- j
; road journey to it, even at the rate of a
I eent a mile, it would come to two hun
■ dred thousand millions of dollars—a ,
j hundred times the amount of the nation- I
lal debt of tbe United States. I do not
' suppose tbera is money enough in the
1 world to pay the fare of one person.
Tbe credit of this illustislion, however,
is due to au English gentleman."
The assertion is going the rounds of
the press that, sceording to a dispatch
| from Raleigh, Senator David 1 'avis an I
. Miss 11. A. llurr are to be married ut

Tho richest treasure a man ever gels
jin this world is a good wife. The poor
: est investment he ever inakos is a pojr j
wife, no matter how much monev she !
lias. Marriage is a transaction which ;
should be removed as far as possible 1
from the moneved value of either partv. |
j Tbe happiest homes every where liavo
j been bought and paid fot by the mutual ,
j earnings after marriage. Notln ig is '
I truer than that the good wife iu tbe home
| is as surely a money-earner as the bus- j i
| Band who toils with hand or brain. The ' j
j best motto of every young man or wo- ',
J man is, "Marry for love and work for ! i
riches." It may be an old fogy idea, ! i
but millions of homes will bear testinio- '
uy to its truthfulness.—A'r.
