Ped. Another day is drawing to its close, The solemn bues of evening fall around me; And night will soon set in, and then to

To-morrow night.

But wherefore should I tremble at that word Thousands there are now laughing merrily, To whom that day will be, even as with me, Their last of mortal time, and they are happy And there are thousands, weary, journeying, To whom this fair carth is a wilderness, And these will lay their heads down quietly, And may their prayere and aleep: peace be

upon them,

I have faced death in many a horrid form, Have tugged and struggled with him band to

Have felt his bony grasp porchilled beneath it, But there was life in this; but to lie here,

Helpless and chained, to see himsteal upon me, With slow and stealthy onward creeping steps And glaring tiger eyes, ready to spring, And lie as nightmare ridden. Oh: 'tis

horrible,

'Tis horrible. I have heard how suite young

MY MUSICAL EXPERIENCE: I do not like the comet. If I may be allowed to express my opinion upon it-bat no, I will not; there is not sufficient pro fanity in the English language.

Ans. If the earth was stationary the sun would rise in the west and set in the east; but as the earth is continually spinning round in a direction opposite to where the sun does really rise, it gives it the appear- ance of rising in the east. The Earth is an the sun is ast we become inverted. A sim- oblate spheroid, oblate means square. When ple proof that the earth is round is, every
