Moons play like frisky lambs around some of its worlds, and many comets dance through the length of the whole system in richer confusion than we have ever beheld in the range of our telescopic vision.

y six are inhabited. One of these is a sinless world, or a world whereon sin never inaugurated its blighting reign; but I will say nothing of this orb as I did not have the choice opportunity of visiting it aright. I saw its beauty only through a glass darkly. I then fixed my mind on Polaris, commonly called the North Star. In journeying thither from Centaurus I passed thousands of Solar Systems scattered in space all around me. As I was thus darting through immensity I glanced toward our own Solar System and could see nothing but a flickering star which was our Sun. Not the faintest sign could I see of our world or of Jupiter. A strange feeling passed over me when I began to realize how far I was from home. I sped onward until I reached the North Star. It is a burning sun, but not inhabited. Polaris is the center of a magnificent system. If a certain few of its worlds could be seen through a telescope, they would be picturesque in the extreme, somewhat resembling our beautiful Saturn. D ALPHA CENTAURUS ONLY SIX ARE INHABITED ONE OF THESE IS A SINLESS WORLD OR A WORLD WHEREUPON SIN NEVER INAUGURATED ITS BLIGHTING RAIN BUT I WILL SAY NOTHING OF THIS ORB AS I DARED NOT HAVE THE CHOICE OPPORTUNITY OF VISITING IT ARIGHT I SAW ITS BEAUTY ONLY THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY I THEN FIXED MY MIND ON PALERUS COMMONLY CALLED THE NORTH STAR IN JOURNEYING THITHER FROM CENTAURIUS I PASSED THOUSANDS OF SOLAR SYSTEMS SCATTERED IN SPACE ALL AROUND ME AS I WAS THUS DARTING THROUGH IMMENSITY I GLANCED TO OUR OWN SOLAR SYSTEM AND COULD SEE NOTHING BUT A FLICKERING STAR WHICH WAS OUR SUN NOT THE FAINTEST SIGN COULD I SEE OF OUR WORLD OR JUPITER A STRANGE FEELING PASSED OVER ME WHEN I BEGAN TO REALIZE HOW FAR I WAS FROM HOME I SPED ONWARD UNTIL I REACHED THE NORTH STAR IT IS A BURNING SUN BUT NOT INHABITED PALERUS IS THE CENTRE OF A MAGNIFICENT SYSTEM IF A CERTAIN FEW OF ITS WORLDS COULD BE SEEN THROUGH A TELESCOPE THEY WOULD BE PICTURESQUE IN THE EXTREME SOMEWHAT RESEMBLING OUR BEAUTIFUL SATURN
