I T is well to woo, ’tis well to wed,
For so the world hath done,
Since myrtles grew, and roses blew,
And morning brought the sun.
But have a care, ye young and fair,
i Be sure ye pledge with truth ;
Be certain that your love will wear
For Bevond that day of youth !
As if well we give hand not heart for hand, for heart,
as
| You’ll find you’ve played the unwise part.
And built upon the sand,

And hold enough of shining stuff,
; For charity is cold.
! But place not all your hope and trust
j j We On cannot what the live deep mine yellow brings ;
on the dust,
Unmixad with purer things;
! And he who piles up wealth alone,
Will often have to stand
Beside liis coffer-cheat, and own
I ’T is built upon ttie sand.
’T is good to speak in kindly guise ;
And soothe where’er we can ;
Fair speech should hind the human mind,
And love link man to mau.
But stay not at the gentle words,
Let the deed with language dwell ;
The one who pities starving birds
Should scatter crumbs as well.
The mercy that is warm and true
Must lend a helping hand,
For those who talk, yet fail to do.
But build upon the sand.

j THU MOUNTAINS OP THE MOON.
And the Other Wonders Revealed In our
Satellite by the Telescope.
When one looks at the moon through
a powerful telescope furnished with a
prism eye-piece, lie seems to be stispend
ed in mid-air and looking down upon the
lunar plains and mountains from an
enormous height. The falling away of
the surface toward the edges of the great
ball sometimes produces the
that is experienced in standing on
brink of a giddy precipice. If the mag¬
nifying power used is 500 diameters, the
effect is about the same as if the ob
server were in a balloon 500 miles above
the surface of the moon. Below him lie
mountains greater than Mont Blane and
Chimborazo, looking no larger than peb¬
bles. Ancient sea bottoms are spread
beneath him like smooth floors, dotted
here and there with elevations that may
once have been islands, and surrounded
by table lands, plains and mountain
chains that siiow where the old seacoast
• was flat and marskv. where it was fub
of harbors, ami where it'was iron
and perilous. Great naked plains
stretch out in various directions as
smooth as our praries, and in other
places there are reaches of hilly country,
and then tremendous mountain masses.
The great topographical features remain,
as in the days when the moon was young
and full of life like tlie earth ; but tlie
coasts are silent as tlie mountain peaks,
the seas are empty, the fruitful soil is
gone, all that ancient, teeming life has
vanished, and the whole land is void of
air. It is only the rocky skeleton of a
dead world, and a picture of what our
earth will be hundreds of millions of
years hence.
With a good three-inch telescope, and
a little practice in tlie management of
tlie magnifying powers, one may easily
see all the famous mountains of the
moon, and most of tlie strange looking
objects that have at different times been
taken for fortifications, roads and other
works of man. There are a number
of excellent maps of tlie moon, by whose
aid every conspicuous object may he re¬
cognized. The point of greatest inter¬
est to the observer is the long, jagged
line, called the terminator, that marks
the sharp division between day and
night. If you watch that line for an
hour or two you will bo astonished at
the changes that have taken place under
your eye. You will see the sunshine
creeping down tiie steep inner side of a
ringed mountain, until the floor of the
vast basin, which had before been per
fectly black, looking like a hole right
through the moon, is readied and light
ed up, while the rocky flanks of the
central peak, or cluster of peaks, come
into view and begin to cast long, spiry
shadows over the crater floor. A lofty
mountain, whose summit, gilded by the
sunlight, has been visible for an hour,
shining out of the dense obscurity that
covers the region about which is yet
I Steei ^ in M * ht ’ like “ ^
m S otf a 8U «"y c° a st, gradually swings
into view, and the line of sunshine goes
sweeping .. its sides, . chasing .
up craggy
the shadows and revealing rocky spires
and precipitous gorges deeper than the
valley of the Mer de Glace.
The vast dark plains, which were
formerly supposed to be real seas, but in
which modern astronomers see only the
bottoms of seas whose waters disap
peared ages aeo retain their old roman
tic names. There is the Ocean of
“ vcri ? * 'Aur in lbe
j Fastein hemisphere. With itsequatori
j al situation, and surrounded by some of
the most gigantic mountains in the

moon, may been, before its wa
ters were stolen away, as tempestuous
as il s name implies. On tin- south of

called the Sea of Moisture, while on the

Bay of Dew. Theu there is the Sea of
Showers, the largest of the moon's seas
or sea bottoms. Between the Sea of
Showers and that brilliant portion of
the moon called the Land of Hoar Frost
lies the Bay of Rainbows, which, as the
celebrated, observers Beer and Madler
thought, furnishes the most magnificent
landscape in the moon. It is surrounded
by lofty, shining cliffs. lit the center of
the moon are the Sea of 4 apors and the
Bay of Tides. In the north are Plato,
or the Greater Black Lake, the Sea of
Cold, and the Marsh of Sleep, the latter
being remarkable for its reddish hue.
In the first are the Sea of Tranquility,
the Sea of Fertility, the Sea of Nectar
and the dark Crisiau Sea. The last
named, judging from its unusual depres
sion, was probably the deepest of all the
lunar seas, although its greatest length
is only about 330 miles.
Around all these seas cluster ringed
mountains, craters and mountain
ranges, whose shadows are thrown upon
their level surfaces, varying in length
and shape and number with every hour.
The whole southern quarter of the
moon is occupied by the great mountaiu
region that has the tremendous crater
Tycho for its center. Here the amateur
telescopist may spend hours among the
glittering peaks. It is like looking
down info the heart of the Adirondacks,
with the mountains increased ten fold
in magnitude and a thousand fold in
number. The mountain wall that sur
rounds Tycho is a perfect ring fifty-four
miles in diameter, and three miles high,
Exactly in the center of the great flat
,Ioor ’ '"closed within the ring, rises a
mountain a mile in height that
shines brilliantly in the sunlight. In a
good three-inch telescope, Tycho is an
object of surprising beauty and ever
varying interest as the sunshine creeps
up its outer wall, leaps down the ter¬
raced slope of the opposite side of the
ring, and, sliding across the broad, level
floor, climbs the central peak, and
throws its long-pointed shadow clear
across the crater. For hundreds of
miles on every side of Tycho tlie
surface of the moon is broken and
heaved into jagged mountain masses, in
vvl ‘*ch are many peaks loftier than the
Alps, anil some that equfu
mightiest of the Andes. Tlie
of the sunrise upon these mountains
magnificent beyond description.
Some of the highest mountains in the
moon lie along the edge of the disk, and
are seeu as in profile against tlie sky.
Sucli are the Doerfel Mountains and tlie
Leibnitz range south of Tycho, which
rival our Himalaya in height. In
telescope they give the edge of tlie moon
a broken or scalloiied appearance.
These are but a few of the wonderful
objects in our satellite that are familiar
to astronomers. Any one who is not an
astronomer may spend many pleasurable
hours in studying them witli the aid
a small telescope__ Ntw York Sun.
A Sailor’s Word.
In the early days of the Atlantic and
St. Lawrence Railroad it became neoes
sary to acquire more land on the
easterly side of their India street prop
erty. ibe next adjoining property,
wharf and flats, was that of Captain
Daniel and James Mountfort, tlio access
to which was by a passage-way from
I ore street. Outlie southwesterly side
of tlie roadway was a high rocky ledge,
the former site of the ancient Fort Loy.
ill, celebrated in our early history as the
scene of many contests and attacks from
j Hio Indians. Upon
tlie top of this high
! ledge was perched an old one-story house,
occupied by Hannah fagundas, and ber
daughter, Betsey Jenkins, the use
which for life had been given by Cap-
1 tain Daniel, in concurrence with James,
. to this widow and daughter of one of
bis poor, worn-out sailors. The price of
the land was agreed upon between the
' railroad and James Mountfort
company
and the heirs of Captain Daniel, the lat-

brothers. But there still remained the
incumbrance . , of , old ,, Hannah’s Tr ,, house , on
the rock, the Mountforts’ attorney re
fusing to sell the property unless the
railroad company would provide another
house for them for life or compensate
them to their satisfaction, saying that
the .Judge must make his own trade with
them. The railroad comnany wished
to see the life lease. Mr. James
straightened up and said, “My brother
rr r ,,u “ t- rv* ” r<1
for it as long as they lived, winch was
higher and stronger than any written
lease could lie.” It was suggested that
when the property was sola the Mount
forts would have no legal liability for it.
He and the children of Daniel all
they knew that very well, but they would
not sell the property on any terms
did not stipulate to fulfill the
word and obligation' of hi? brother and
their father for a life shelter to the poor
I women. The company then tried to
commute with old Hannah for a sum of
money. This she refused to do, or to
take anything but a house for life in
some other location, or its equivalent
yearly paid. It was finally settled by
the railroad company giving them an
annuity obligation of $40 per year, pay
able quarterly, during her life, and that
of her daughter. This written obliga
: was made July 13,1847, and took effect j
July 28, 1847. It has been paid quar
terly ever since that time until
! April 2.8, 1879, Mrs. Jenkins always i
promptly calling for it on the day it was
due. The obligation taken up by the
treasuiyy is a curiosity to see, with its !
128 endorsements, crosswise and length- |
wise of the paper, completely tilling all
space. Both women being quite old and
feeble in health, Judge Preble supposed
: ! that in *he would ordinaly have course hut of events the j
company a few years of
| payments to make on this annuity! But
j a higher power decided otherwise,

of her death was paid and annuity obli
gation surrendered, $2 ; making a total
payment of 81,272 to make good the
word of the old-time shipmaster to poor
old Hannah Fagundas. The total cost
of keeping tlio old sailor’s word, by com¬
pounding interest quarterly on the sums
paid at fi per cent, per annum, amounts,
principal and interest, to $8,808.89,
which is about threefold the amount of
the original quarterly payments.— Port¬

Amasa Kilborn’a Fast.
In the unwritten annuls of Salem is
the tradition of a curious fast by an ec
centri. individual, Amasa Kilborn,
Kilboin’s fast, which began during or
shortly after the war of the Revolution,
ende bpuly with his death. through It made his
name 'notorious all Salem and
towns, who recollect and there distinctly are people
living co-day the
stories told them by their parents of the
strange old fasting man and his peculiar¬
ities. He lived, with his family, In a
little old brown house in a clearing on
the top of a beautiful hill in the north¬
western part of the town. Every sign
of the homestead has now disappeared.
In the latter part of his life Mr. Kilborn
took offense at his family and determ
ened to commit suicide by starvation.
For over foity days he is said to have
positively touched no food of any kind,
though lie chewed tobacco continuously.
He attended to the affairs of his daily
life carefully, and in his conversatioh
never spoke of bis voluntary fast or bis
resolution to die. People who heard of
tlie case came from a distance to look at
the man who was “ starving himself to
death.” Day by day lie grew leaner and
more haggard, and for a man who
chewed navy plug tobacco and swore
horribly, be grew to bo quite spirituel.
He was at last confined to bis bed, and
died on or about tlie forty-fifth day of
hj B fast.
One freak of Kilboin’s early life lias
never been forgotten in Salem. One
day 111 summer he bail a five-acre lot of
choice grass cut and spread out to dry.
Ir tlie afternoon a shower came up and
drenched it. The next day the hay was
spread out to dry. Another shower
came up and redrenched It. O 11 the
third day the same programme was re¬
p ea ted. On the fourth day, after tlie
hay had been properly dried and raked
into winrows, an alabaster cloud pillar
was shoved up over tlie western horizon
and a distant growl of thunder echoed
from the hills. Kilborn was mad clear
through. He looked at the hay, and
looked at the cloud.
“ Run to the house, hoy,” he said in a
voice trembling with resentment “and
bringdown a fire-brand ; quick now!”
The boy asked no question. He came
back with a blazing torch, and Kilborn
touched off each winrow.

A Domestic Picture.
While I was lecturing in Washington
I saw a lady with an intelligent, pretty
face, and bright, eloquent eyes that
were rarely lifted toward tlie speaker,
and then only for a flash of time. Th «y
wore bent upon ber husband's bands
' - <
complished a few years ago, she had
gone down into the world of voiceless
silence, and all the music and all the
speech that comes into her life comes
through the tender devotion of her bus
band ; and as I talked I watched him
telling off the lecture on his nimble fin
gers, while his eager eyes glanced from
them to his sympathetic face. It was a
prettv picture of devotion. They were
so young to have this cloud shadow the
morning skies of their lives ; bnt, as I
glanced from the voiceless wife to her
husband, I thought how beautifully the
sunlight was breaking these clouds and
tinting even their afflictions with a ten
der radiance. This discipline of
ing upon suffering is a good thing for a
man. It rounds out his life; it develops
his manlier, nobler qualities ; it makes
his heart brave and tender and strong as
a woman’s.— Harekeye.

Turning a Grind Stone.
Considerable amusement was created
»» Hawkinsville last week oyer a con
tract u 1 * 10 l>y Mr. James F. Kincben
with * young colored man named Jake
McCormick. Jake was hunting for a
and Mr. Kincben, having plenty of
and feeling in a fine humor,
< lire d tc * turn a grind Stone on the
street. Mr. Kincben agreed to pay Jake
one dollar a day for six days, and placed
iu the hands of Henry Taylor six silver
dollars to be paid to Jake when he had
turned the grind stone for six days.
Jake commenced turning on Wednesday,
and kept the stone steadily going till
,l '8l't. Next morning he was on hand
promptly and resumed work. The boys
round town brought axes, hatches,
knives, etc., and ground them. They
would spit 011 the stone, and liear down
but Jake never murmured. They laughed
at him and attempted to tease him, but
he kept on turning. Throughout the
day a crowd was gathered about the
stone. Wlieu dinner hour arrived Jake
knocked off for a little while, and took
his dinner. At the proper hour lie be¬
gan work again, and paid no attention
to the jeers of the bystanders.
When night came, Jake quit work,
moved his grind stone out of the way,
and went home to rest. Early on Fri¬
day morning he was again ready for
work, and had the old grind stone going
at full si>eed. The supply of old knives
and hatchets had been sharpened, and
the boys began to see that Jake was in
earnest.
Mr. Klnchen now became satisfied
that Jake had “set in” to get the six
dollars. Jake showed no disposition
to be teased. Everybody thought he
would soon become disgusted and give
up his job, but wheu dinner time arrived
Jake was still turning, and finally told
Mr. Kinchen that lie (Jake) bad turned
a grind stone four days in Kastman for
a dollar a day.
This announcement was unexpected,
and showed plainly that Jake was an old
hand at the business. 'Whereupon Mr.
Kinchen agreed to pay him seventy-five
cents a day for the time he hud been at
work, and let him leave. Jake accepted
the proposition, and put tlie money in
his pocket, not, lie said, because lie was
tiled, but because he was told that he
would be required to turn tlie stone on
Sunday .—Ilawkinseille Dispatch.
A Famous Butter Cow
To-day is “Jersey Belle of Scituate,”
the property of C. O. Klims, of Soitu
ate, Mass,, dropped in 1871, and bred by
JO. J>, Soliier. She is now nine years
old. She is a beautiful cow of rich yel¬
low fawn color, shading into a darker
tint upon the head, diversified and
mapped out with considerable, white.
She is above medium size, weighing 950
pounds when in her best condition, and
really represents exactly such an animal
in appearance, as well as characteristics,
as may be, and frequently is, produced
by the direct cross of the Guernsey and
Jersey breeds. One of the best uses, by
the way, to which inferior or unregis¬
tered animals of Guernsey or Jersey
blood can be put is to mingle their
blood. Cross breeds develop, with
great uniformity, the excellencies of
both of the parent breeds. In case of
“Jersey Bello of Scituate,” it is a ques¬
tion, which probably can never meet
with a solution—how ranch other rare
qualities does she, or does she not, owe
