.A-HVUBITIOrNT 



( Suggested hijou 



There lay, ill the Scottish meadows, 



A wondrous, clear-eyed lad. 

 Wrapped up in midnight shadows, 



And the folds of a shepherd's plaid; 

 Lay, long and eagerly gazing 



With wonder — straining eyes 

 At God's own jewelry, blazing 



Upon the stately skies; 

 He looked in the star's sweet faces, 



They fed his nature's needs — 

 He marked their glowing places 



With strings of glistening beads. 

 To the fame his soul ne'er doubted, 



His quick brain drove him on, 

 Till the world with honor shouted 



The name of Ferguson. 



.A-ISriD SCIENCE. 



Hiring Bailey's Astral Lantern.) 



But now, when youth's mind-vision 



Would range the mystery — sky, 

 Pale Science s strange precision 



Has mapped it for his eye ; 

 And captured the stars in cages, 



And mocked their flickering flame, 

 Subdued these kings of the ages, 



And made them come by name ; 

 < >n earth the stars are brightening, 



Brought down from clouds of space, 

 As Franklin drew the lightning, 



And gave it useful place; 

 And the Scotch boy's spirit, turning 



From new-found stars above, 

 I-ooks down on this glow of learning, 

 With smiles of pride and love. 



From the X.E. Journal of Education. 



BAILEY'S ASTRAL LANTERN is an ILLUSTRATED PANORAMA of the HEAVENS, 



showing the position and movement of the Stars for every minute in the year, and adjustable to every latitude. " With it every- 

 body can learn the Stars as easily as if their names were vjritten in the heavens itself.'" For " What Astronomers Say, and
