store, and upon one side 1s an ele- gant array of silverware.- Notice the mouldings and carvings and the conclusion is that the circle or its variations are predominant. By us is a case full ot circular cuff buttons, bracelets, rings and watches. Upon the opposite side are the clocks,each one busy in telling its time otf day, Probably most have noticed that the hands describe a circle every time they go around, the hour hand twice a day, the minute hand twenty-four times a day, and the second hand fourteen hundred and forty times, making in all fourteen hundred and sixty-six circles in a day. The highest attainment of the architect in shapes for crevices and mouldings is in circles. Examine any style of architecture, as the gothic, composite, ionic or corinthian models, and the result proves a harmonious blending of circ’ *s in all their variations. Let us visit the conseryars:, in music and examine the shape of some of the instruments. There is the round drum, fife, the coronet, the flute, the banjo, and even the notes which the musicians read upon the books and sheets of music are round. But, after our extended search, I think a lunch would be relishable, so please accompany me to the res— taurant; but here again we are met with a round table, upon which are round dishes of every description— goblets, spoon-holders, sugar- bowls, castors and cake-stands. The waiter enters bearing a circular tray and sets before us cups of coffee or tea and dishes yarying in shape from the perfectly round to the oblong. We glance to the show-case and are met with a display of circles in the pies, cakes, cookies, oranges, lem- ons and candies. In the corner is the bank, upon entering we turn the knob, and as it turns rather hard we look to see what is the matter, and another cir- cle presents itself. We give the cashier a check and he hands us our money, part of itin paper and the balance in coins. See the bright silver and gold coins! And all ot them round, too. Thus we see that circles play an important part in the shape of our circulating medium. From our investigation thus far I think we may draw the conclusion that man’s highest ambition at per- tection is by means of circles; and when we reflect upon the acts ot those who are inclined to be dishon- est, and remember how they contrive to get out of their honest detts, or shirk trom a tair contract, we are led to believe that man’s lowest ambition is by means of circling. We have surveyed man and his works, and nearly lost ourselves in meditation upon the circles which everywhere met our view, and let us now consider God and his works. Behold nature as she buds torth in all her woodland splendors! See the circular trunks of her trees with their gracefully curving boughs The thorny raspberry and , blackberry bushes sway in beautitul arches of intermingled berries and leaves. The bittersweet, ivy, clamatis, wisteria, wild and tame roses, cypress and morning glory vines climb the sur- rounding objects and hang from their trelliswork in tragrant testoons of intermingled leayes and blossoms, CIRCLES. The following was read before the Virrginia literary society by Miss Lillie Stephens, and by request ot the society we publish it: This topic does not suggest very much to us upon first thought, but let us examine our surroundings in search of circles, Mathmeticians de- fine a circle as a figure bounded by aline, every point ot which is an equal distance trom a point within, called the center, or that a circle isa polygon of an infinite number of sides. Upon consultation with Web- ster, we find he explains a circle when used as a noun to mean a round figure,fan orb ; surrounding compa- my; and when used as*a verb, to move round or circularly. Let us begin?our inspection with ourselves, and our first discovery 18 by means of our eyes, which are round orbs of themselves. Upon closer scrutiny we find there are cir- cles inside of the eves. Take a strand of hair from your head, and while you are doing it you employ { your fingers, which are round; you | also find that each hair of your head | is round. Notice the features of your face and mark how all of them are rounded into a beautiful sym: metry, which is characteristic of a handsome countenance. Let us examine the occupations with which the human race 1s em- ployed, Take the tarmer as he cribbs his corn,and observe the round ears of corn, or as he gathers it in the field from the round stalks of corn; and pray how would he con- vey his corn to the crib if the wheels to his wagon were square or had as many corners to them as a polygon? Go to the granary and look at the timothy, clover and millet seed and | observe what complete little orbs they are. Who ever heard of tarm- ers’ children in their search for eggs find any other but a round one. Of all ithe fowls of the farmyard, not even the goose would be delighted with any other shape. The cane stalk, the source of our sorghum, is round. The farmer’s wife has never yet discovered a cabbage head 1n the shape of a pyramid, and although she may string her beans in the early ‘summer, they are never changed from their oblong shape. The children usually relish the round radishes, Onions, cucumbers, beets, water- melons,muskmelens, turnips, pump- kins and squashes, to say nothing ot the round gooseberries, currants, grapes, cherries, peaches, plums and apples. The blacksmith has a special modification ot his anvil, around which he bends the horse-shoes in their circular torm. Let us examine the steam engine, and the result is that we find it is composed of wheels, cogs and bolts, all circular in form, and, when in motion, make a complete circle. Reflect a moment upon the usetul- ness of the steam engine. We fnd them serviceable with the threshing machine, but when we remember how the former power of the thresher was kept in motion by the horses attached to it,another circle appears, that of the path made by the horses. The steam engine 1s also found performing its duty in the saw mill, planing mill and grist mill, with a network of baads and wheels all re- yolving in their places. Agein we find the engine beneficial in the transportation of articles of com- merce, and when at the terminus of the road to which it belongs it even requires a round house in which to ; turn. When we contemplate the 7 importance of this shape of machine- Ty, Can we any longer say a circle is of little importance! Note the shape of the telephone and telegraph wires, which are the means ot the {rapid transmission of messages from one point to another. And when we turn our thoughts to the battle field with its men armed with their bayonets and guns, many a soldier recails the round tube through which he has sent leaden / | “The rolling prairies ot the west”’ are rapturously spoken of as be- ing splendid to view, aad the sur- face of these grassy plains indicate that rounding appearance of the hills andthe concave semblance ot the valleys which gave them the appro- priate appellation. The dewdrop 1s round, so is the hail. The drop of water as it is fall- ing assumes this stylish shape; and as we see the river you will notice that its course 1s not at sharp angles Or runs straight ahead, but always rounds oft the sharp turns.

SAFE. SURE. Peony, OS mense circle. The rainbow embel- ishes the blue dome above us with its bright tints and its arched shape. We look to the ground and we see part of the great sphere upon which we live, and we know by scientific proofs that in its reyolution around the sun the great circle called the ecliptic is formed, Astronomers give the theory with good proots that every planet in the universe has its own sun around which it revolves; if so, then imagine if you can the infinite number of circles that are constantly being and have been de- scribed ever since time began. Oh! where is the end of the circles. But coming back from those re- mote regions to our ownlittle world, we think of the cyclone, which always moves round and round, and carries with it so much destructive force. Now allow me to turn your atten- tion to another kind of circles, There are the political rings, of which the gentlemen are more conversant than I. Then there is the social circle, which is tormed inevery community. Lastly we call your attention to the family circle, the center ot which is the mother, the circumference the father, and the other members of the family torm the radius of this pleasant home circle. As one after another of these young people step forth into life to form another family circle, the bride wears a circle, as an emblem of eternity, and that is in the shape of the wedding ring. Thus upon investigation and re- flection, may we not safely maintain that circles in every torm have achieved the highest advancement of the cultured world in macharism, in literature, in art and in society. We have frequently heard of the “chain of life,’’ but does not all created matter appear to us as a complete universe of systematically linked circles. These are Solid Facts.
