ASPECTS OF THE MOON. An Alleged Change in One of its Great Craters. The members of the Baltimore So ciety of Amateur Astronomers have received a dispatch from Prof. Ivit- chic, at the Harvard observatory, an nouncing a change in the crater Pliny of the moon. This remnant of a vol cano is one of the many crags and peaks distinguishable through an opera glass, field glass, or telescope. The entire surface of the moon is broken up by walled plains, in the center of each of which rises a straight mound. Crater Pliny is one of the best known of these, and is in the northwestern quadrant of the huion. A Baltimore astronomer says that lie thought a mistake had been made in regard to the discovery, as the satel lite is believed to he dead, amnio change can take place on its surface. He said that it is possible that the professor, who thought he had made a discovery, had been misled by the different prominences on the surface being illuminated at different angles and thus presenting a different appear ance. By the most powerful telescopes the moon can be brought within lob to 200 miles of the earth, and “every thing,” said the astronomer, “appears dead. Nothing but the wildest deso lation prevails. Circular caverns and pits have their lloors strewn with httgo blocks, and sides stretching up ward 1,000 feet, Some of the moun tains enclose areas of 30 to 120 miles in diameter, while the peaks them- "selves rise often to 7,000 feet, and ia one instance 10,000 feet in altitude. Love in Nebraska. It was at Spirit Lake, at the very limit of the pier. They were all alone. There was no moon, but the stars were big and bright, and so full of self-conceit that they looked at themselves in the water and winked. Far out a boat slid noiselessly along. In a nearer boat a fair tenor voice carelessly half hummed, half sang a common-love song. From the Or leans Hotel came now and then the twang of the strings of the orchestra of mandolins. On such a night as this did Dido stand upon the wild sea bank and wave her love to come again to Carthage. On such a night ns this did Jessica—but a truce to the bard 1 It was the sort of night on which a man could make love to his own wife! and those two, Kdouard and Alicia, had not yet bespoken their tender vows. “Do you know anything about the stars?” inquired Edouard, in a voice like the murmur of the wind in sum mer trees. “A little,” answered Alicia, tender ly, “I know some of the constellations —the Great Bear—the—” “Yes,” interrupted Edouard, “I know all about the lug hear and can find the North Ktar ; but right over there is a group. Do you know the name of that?” And Edouard threw his arm across Alicia’s shoulder and pointed to a cluster of shining worlds in the east. Alicia leaned toward him. “I don’t know what that is,’’she breathed as one who did not care. “And there is another constellation just over our heads!” Edouard pass ed his arm around her neck, and placing his hand under her chin so . tilted it that it would he easy for her to see. Aud then to Alicia’s eyes the heavens became one grand carnival of constellations. Shooting stars chased each other athwart the firmament, comets played riotous games among the planets, and finally there came a soft and radiant blur which hid them all. Edouard had kissed Alicia.—Oma ha Republican. •• • O- An exchange thus defines politics: “The science of seeming to help an other to get there, and getting there yourselt.” J. s.

His ‘Favorite Prescription,' for all those chronic weaknesses, nervous and other derangements peculiar to women, is used with unfailing success. It cures weak back, {tear ing-down sensations, irregularities and weak nesses common to the sex, and teeing the most perfect of tonic medicines builds up and strengthens the entire system. The de mand for it is constant, and i nm conversant with scores of eases cured by it.” Returning after n few moments’ absence, the vene rable v. ieid?r of the pestle remarked, “the number of sarsaparilla* and other, so- called, ‘blood medicines' is legion; but I)r.
