She said tome, ‘‘My son, when you would wander From out the narrow path our Saviour trod, Stop short, and in deep meditation ponder Ere eoeeree take the road that leads from God,

Ask Him for strength to conquer the tempta- tion ; Be honest and straightforward, just and true ; Stand up for right whatever Le your station, And ne’er forget our parting interview.”

With tearful eyes I vowed I would remember, And then the pain of parting seemed to fly;

"Twas like the chilling blast of cold December Transformed into the sanlight of July.

Oh ! how often has her loving counsel cheered me

Amid the sorrows and the cares of iife,

And by the help of Him who ne’er forsook me

How often have I conquered in the strife.

i never shall forget my tather’s blessing, Or the look of sorrow on my brother's brow, Or my darling sister’s kind but sad caressing— Methinks I see their loving faces now.

Yet, after all those years of toil and sadness, i think with pleasure as the time draws

nigh. When I shall soar away with joy and gladness To greet them in our Home beyond the sky.

J. B. DockENDORF?. Southport, P. E. 1. tapencnnneglaata taint tataiaeniii The Number of the Stars.

(The Century for August.

The total number of stars one can see will depend very largely upon the clearness of the atmosphere and the keenness of the eye. There are in the whole celestial sphere about 6,000 stars visible to an ordi- narily good eye. Of these, however, we can never see more than a fraction at cne time, because a half of the sphere is always below the horizon. If we could see a star in the horizon, as easily as in the zenith, a half of the whole number, or 3,000, would be visible on any clear night. But stars near the horizon are seen through } rso great a thickness of atmosphere as great- ly to obscure their light, and only the brightest ones can there be seen. As a re- sult of this obscuration, it is not likely that more than 2,000 stars can ever be taken ia at a single view by an ordinary eye. About 2,000 other stars are so near the South Pole that they never rise in our latitudes.

Hence, out of 6,000 supposed to be visible,

only 4,000 ever come within the range of our vision, unless we make a journey to-

wards the equator.

As telescopic power is increased, we will find stars of fainter and fainter light. But the number cannot go on increasing for- ever in the same ratio as with the brighter magnitudes, because, if it did, the whole sky would be a blaze of starlight. Ii tele- scopes with powers far exceeding the pre- sent ones were made, they would no doubt show new stars of the twentieth and twenty-first, etc., magnitudes. But it is highly probable that the number of such successive orders of stars would not in- crease in the same ratio as is observed in the eighth, ninth and tenth magnitudes, for example. The enormous labor of esti- mating the number of stars of such classes will long prevent the accumulation of stat- istics on this question; but this much is certain, that in special regions of the sky, which have been searchingly examined by various telescopes of successively increasing apertures, the number of new stars, found is by no means in proportion to the in- creased instrumental power. found to be true elsewhere, the conclusion may be that, after all, the stellar system can beexperimentally shown; to be of infinite extent and to contain only a finite number of stars. In the whole sky an eye of average power will see about 6,000 as I have just said. With a telescope this num ber is greatly inereased, and the most powerful telescope of modern times will show more than 60,000,000 stars. Of this number not one eut of one, hundred has ever been catalogued at all. In all, 314,926 stars, from the first to the 9 magnitudes, are contained in the northern sky; or about 600,000 in both hemispheres. All of these can be seen with a three inch object glass.

a A Narrow Escape.

Capt. Mallock, of the fishing schooner

Randolph, owned in Yarmouth, N. 8., re-

ports an experience few others have ever

had. A few days ago, while anchored in

Harbor Delute, during a severe storm, his vessel broke from her moorings and drifted to sea. The crew were all on shore at the time, and did not notice the loss of their vessel uatil they started to go on board. The following morning Capt. Mallock start- ed along the cost in search of the schooner, and found her ashore on Spruce Island Point. He succeeded in boarding her, and running up one of the small sails, she com- meuced to forge ahead into deep water. She had not gone far before he noticed that a large hole had been stove in_ her bottom, and that she was rapidly sinking. He at once jumped into his boat, which was made fast astern, but was unable to untie the line which held her. He had no knife or anything with which to cut it, and as the vessel was rapidly settling in the water, he despaired of ever reaching shore ayain. He at last — his as and -

ceeding in gnawing the rope in two, just as the camel plunged forward and sunk.

Count Von Moltke.

A MEMBER OF THE GERMAN LEGATION at WASHINGTON ON HIS RETIREMENT.

_A member of the German legation, while discussing the sudden retirement of General Von Moltke with a correspondent at Washington said: There is nothing very surprising in Von Moltke’s resignation. I know that he contemplated making this movement long before the death of the old emperor, and was only dissuaded from it by the earnest remonstiances of the Kaiser and Prince Bismarck. You must remem- ber that he is a very old man, and that while his powers so far have not been dimmed by age, he knows <that iu the course of nature he must soon go the way ofall men. His resignation does not mean that the emperor in contemplating war de- sires to have the command of the army to go toayounger man. Germany does not want war. You will notice that all the stories of impending conflicts originate in the French press, and are eagerly copied and circulated 7 their English brethren. There is uo disguising the fact that the Emperor has no love for the French, and little more for the English. He carries his hatred of France to the extent that he will drink no wine grown in that country. By the way, you may as well deny the story that Queen Victoria of England has in her possession a private diary kept by the late Emperor Frederick, and which is alleged to contain Prince Bismarck’s secret diplomatic plans. Prince Bismarck is in the habit of keeping these plans in his head, and has never yet departed from that custom, Count Von Walderze, who suc- ceeds Von Moltke, is a handsome man of about 58 years. Americans should feel very kindly toward him, for his wife was a Miss Mary Lea, the daughter of a New York banker named ‘Lea. He has long been Von Moltke’s right hand man, and is in every way qualified to hold his new high position. Von Moltke by no means re- tires from the army. His position as chief of the country’s defence places him in direct command of the landstrum, con- sisting} of all men in Germany between the ages of 15 and 50, and who would be called into the field in case of an invasion of the country,” aa

A Remarkable Invention.

A very successful exhibition has been

given at Washington in the presence of a

number of Government officials and others

versed in mechanics, of the practical wurk-

ing of a new and novel steam generator,

ehyn in design and altogether a new de- ure in steam boiler construction,

The new generator is of the sensational

type, and what appears to be an anomaly, itisa tubular boiler without tubes. A plate of metal is so corrugated that when folded and riveted together it forms a ves- sel consisting of connecting channels re- sembling manifolds and tubes, but without the joints inevitable when pipes are united it the usual way, so that in abolishing the joints the places for the leakage and the consequent annoyance are avoided. The generator is in 5 sections, has 3 square feet of grate service and 75 square feet of heating surface. It occupies a space of 44 feet long, 14 feet wide by 4 feet high, and weighs about 1,800 pounds. It was in- vented and designed by Mr. J. McKim Chase, a well-known master mechanic of Washington, to meet the demand of the pro- gressive use of steam of high pressures, especially in the marine practice, where progress is somewhat retarded by the want of a suitable safe boiler.

Mr. Chase claims that this generator meets this want better than any other, be- cause it can be made self-contained, and avoiding the necessity of brick settings. The sections have been subjected to an hydrosta‘ic pressure of 600 pounds per square inch, without showing a sign of weakness, and it is said that 1,000 pounds will not rupture them. Steam was raised from cold water in twenty minutes, and to 200 pounds in thirty minutes.

To Be Disbanded.

It was resolved by those present at the meeting of oatmeal millers, held in Toronto last week, to disband the association at the end of the present month. The maintenance of acombine was found to be impracticable. Mills with a capacity of one hundred barrels per day are only allotted fifteen, and the ex- pense of keeping them open and no work to do isso large that even witu a fixed price nothing has been made. One-half of the mills are anxious to go out of the business. Many of the members expressed themselves as anxious to have the United States markets thrown opon, where a large business could be done with Canadian oatmeal, The prospect of making oatmeal for export to Britain is not bright ; the only future for many of the mills is for the owners to go into some otier line of manufacturing. Until the 31st inst., the pre- sent price will rule.—Afonetary Times.
