Size of the Universe.
To form some idea of the largeness
of this earth one may look upon the
landscape from the top of an ordinary
church steeple and then bear in mind
that one must view 900,000 similar
landscapes toget an approximately cor
rect idea of the size of the earth. Place
*500 earths like ours side by side, says
the Copenhagen Nordstjernin, yet
Saturn’s uttermost ring could easily
enclose them. Three iiumfred thou
sand earth globes could be stored in
side the sun if hollow. If a human eye
every hour was capable of looking
upon a fresh measure of world material
14,0(H) square kilometers large that
eye would need 55,000 years to over
look the surface of the sun. To reach
the nearest fixed star one must travel
33,000,000,000 of kilometers, and if the
velocity were equal to that of a cannon
ball it would require 5,000,000 years
to travel the distance. On a clear night
an ordinary human eye can discover
about 1000 stars iu the northern hemi
sphere, most of which send their light
from distances which we cannot meas
lire. How large they must be ! Round
these thousand stars circle 50,000 other
stars of various sizes. Beside single
stars we know of systems of stars mov
ing round one another. Still we arc
but a short way into spaeeasyet! Out
side our limits of vision and imagina
tion there are no doubt still larger
spaces. The milky way holds probably
at least 20,191,000 stars, and as each is
a sun we presume it is encircled by at
least fifty planets. Counting up these
^ figures ive arrive at the magnitude of
1,000,955,000 stars. A thousand million
of stars! Who can comprehend it?
Still, this is only a part of theuni
verse. The modern telescopes have
discovered more and similar milky ways
still further away. We know of some
6000 nebuhe which represent milky
ways like ours. Let us count 2000 of
them as being the size of our milkv
wav, then 2000 bv 20,191.000 equals
40,382,000,000 bum, or, 2,019.100,
000,000 heavenly bodies.

Rosamond Parker had been married
three bn her twentieth bliss birtiidfty: Aftet
years of not often given to
mortals, her husband died, leaving
her alone with her baby boy. The
child saved her reason from going,
she lived for him, and now, at twenty
she knew his heart belonged to her
hnd his ait, for ins lathe* was ail
artist, and the boy inherited his
genius. They had spent the winter in
Washington. This little towm an
outlying suburb across the Potomac,
was reconimeiided to them as a quiet
place in which to rest after their busy
winter. It was settled mainly by
Northern people
“I presume you’re going to church
this lovely day,” Mr. Dusenbury re¬
marked at breakfast the following
morning, Sunday.
“I hadn’t thought of it,” Mrs.
Parker answered. “You have a num¬
ber of churches here, haven’t you?”
“Eight. There’s the Northern Methd
dist and the Southern Methodist, and the
Congregational ’Piscopal ahd the Baptist, and the
and the Presbyterian
and the Catholic and the colored Bap
tist. M'hat church do you attend,
Mrs. Parker?”

. Mrs. Parker accepted the invitation
gracefully, and joined Mrs. Dusen¬
bury a few minutes before eleven,
accompanied by her handsome son.
She felt the curious eyes of the con¬
gregation upon them as they followed
Mrs. Dusenbury to her pew well up in
front. During the sermon Mrs.
Parker’s thoughts wandered,* and she
turned to leave the pew, after the
benediction, with a sad look in her
eyes. She was a beautiful woman,
possessed of an undefinable charm of
manner, her entire appearance so
youthful few people could believe that
she was really Sidney’s mother.
They were introduced to several peo
pie who welcomed them cordially,
One hospitable matron, Mrs. Lacy by
name, shook Sidney’s hand heartily,
and said: “You must join our Chris
tian Endeavor Society. Pleased to
have you come this evening. The meet
ing begins at seven I think you’ll find
it very interesting.”
That evening about dusk, Sidney en
tered the small room where such meet
ings were held, and seated himself near
the door. The leader was in her place
on a slightly raised platform, a girl
about seventeen, with a rounded figure
dressed in white, a large white hat
shaded a dimpled face, exquisite in its
fresh coloring, brown curling hair,
soft brown eyes. She looked many
times at Sidney ; he could feel her eyes
on him and it made him uncomfortable,
Soon she gave out the number of a gos
pel song. It was sung, and a boy about
Sidney’s age offered a prayer, as re
quested decided by the leader. Sidney listened
with interest.
After the meeting closed he was in
trodneed to the leader, Miss Perrigo.
The girls called her Nancy. She ling
ered near him; no one seemed to be

Nanev clutched her father’s arm.
“You shan’t be so mean to him. I
like him better n anybody in the
world.
Sidney took a step towards her.
“Yon go in the house,” the old man
said to Nancy in tones that had to be
obeyed. Sidney withdrew as grace
fully as possible under the circum
stances, but his anger was somewhat
mollified by Nancy’s confession. He
could feel the softness of her figure
yet, the velvet touch of her fair cheek,
“You won’t be mad at what papa
said,” Nancy pleaded, when he went
to see her Monday. ‘He don t mean
all he says. He was kind o’ out of
sorts and you was the only person he
could find*to scold.”
“No, I’m not angry, though no one
ever spoke to me like that in all my
life. He means to separate us, darling,
I laid awake almost all night, thinking
what was best to do>and if you really
love me, let ns marry at once.”
Nancy looked troubled. Sidney
pleaded his cause with such eloquence,
pictured their future in such glowing
I colors, that she promised to think
about it. On Saturday, it was arranged
that they should go to Washington
Monday morning and return after the
marriage ceremony was performed.
He went early Sunday evening to
take Nancy to the Christian Endeavor
meeting. Mrs. Barker felt so lonely
and restless she decided to go to the
meeting herself and see what made it
j j so people attractive singing to Sidney. she The entered young
were as a
j door at one side and sat down on a
; bench overlooking the whole room,
; Mrs. Barker saw Sidney sitting beside
; Nancy Perrigo, looking out of her
j singing-book. contented She in Church now knew FalLs. why he
was 6o Her
; thoughts grew so painful that she left
the room while they were singing.
' Once in her own room she walked
j the floor in agony of soul, helpless,
alone. The thought of what the beauty
of that giil might tempt her hoy to do
stabbed her like a sharp sword. Her
door was locked. When Sidney same
to say good-night she could not let
him in, her boy, who had never been
Estranged from her heart before. To
wards mdr'rbfig.'wern eut with anguish,
she fell asleep.
Sidney awakened early and fetched
the summer morning dawn. Theil he
dressed and wrote a note to his mother
telling her how dearly he cared for the
lovely Nancy,- asking her to forgive h?a
deception an’d welcome' his bride. He
pushed the note under her door, when,
down stairs and directly to flic* hotel
where ho hired a horse and carriage
«md drove to the Perrigo farm after
Xalley. 8bo was waiting for him
dressed in a brilliant scarlet and white
silk that was to Sidney a false note in
the harmony. He said :
“Please, Nancy,put on a white dress.
There's time enough.”

They were gone. Sidney
one in a dream for a few momenta;
then hailed a passing car, went back to
Georgetown, got his horse and drove
mechanically Homeward,
When he reached Mrs. DuSeilberry’s Hotel,
after leaving the horse at the HO
saw the doctor just leaving the house.
The good woman herself met him.
“Well; it’s about time you come,” she
said severely. “Youf mother’s been
going from one fainting spell into
another all the morning. I was afraid
she wotild never come out the last one
I sent for the doctor. ” Before she
so
finished speaking, Sidney was upstairs,
All feeling for Nancy w r as swept into
oblivion. He rushed into the room and
kneeling by the bed where his mother
lay, gathered her in his arms, “i
didn’t do it, ” he sobbed, for the mourn-'
f u l grief in his mother’s eyes pierced
his soul.
It was several days before Mrs.
Parker regained her strength, and Sid
ney nursed her devotedly. It was de

had expressed her wish to break their
engagement, saying she had been mis
taken in her feelings toward him.
The night before they left Church
Falls, Sidney told his mother the whole
story. He ended by saying:
“The feeling I had for her is dead,
j don’t understand it at all.”
“It was only love of her beauty. I
tell you there can be no permanence
in the love of men and women unless it
is founded in the soul. The woman
should mean the soul, ever leading up
ward, or she fails of her mission and
becomes a clog to bind men down to
earth.”—Yankee Blade.
A Remarkable Ancient Monument.
The Stonehenge, one of the most re¬
markable of the ancient monuments on
the British Isles, is situated on the
Salisbury Plain, about three miles
from the village of Amesbury. It lies
a t the conjunction of two roads, sur
rounded by a bank and ditch, and is as
much of a puzzle for the antiquarians
Q f to-day as it was for those who care
f u lly surveyed and examined it a thou
sand years ago. When perfect it con
of thirty huge upright stones,
varying in size and form, those at the
entrance being thirteen feet high, and
some of the others eighteen feet. They
a n averaged sixteen feet in height, the
majority of them being six feet square,
These upright stones were joined to¬
gether by others at the top, these last
lying horizontally, like the lintels of a
doorpost, and each about twelve feet
long. The whole made a huge circular
cage, the use of which can only be con
jectured. At exactly 8.3 feet from this
circle of large stones is an inner one
composed end,* of forty stones, standing on
but much smaller than those of
the ante-ring. It is supposed that this
structure was a Druidish temple.—St.
Louis Republic.

NEW STORE! NEW GOODS!
I want to say to my friends of Monroe County and the surrounding country
that I have moved into my elegant Double Store, next to Cochran’^ corner, where I
will appreciate a call from them.
In the years past I have exerted myself to merit (lie approval and patronage o?
the whole people. It has been my endeavor to deal alike with all, appreciating tho
poor mail’s penny as well as the rich man’s pound. Last Fall, knowing that I was
going to move, I pushed my Stock off at cost, Bo I start iu ray New Store with an
almost New Stock.
I flatter myself that my long experience in business, and my intimate acquaint¬
ance with the wants of my trade, places me at a great advantage over competition.
I discount with the Hard Cash every bill that I buy, and make a standing r flei
of 20 per cent, discount on prices made by any merchant.
