A THOUGHT OF TIE STARS.

BY MISS VARY GARDNER.
I remember once, when careless child,
played on the messy lea,
The stars looked forth in the shadowy VEST,
And stole to my mother knee,
With handful of s,emless violets, wet
With the drops OF gathering dew,
Aud asked Of the onderiu points Of light
That shone in the distant blue.
Through the measueless dep'..s above,
Created by infinite might and power
Supported by infinite love.
She told of faith that she called divine,
OF Iairer and happier home;
OF hope unsulled by grief or fear,
And loilier life TO come
She ;old of seraphs with wings of light,
That toated from star to star,
And were sometimes seat on mission high
To blighed orb aiar.
And with childish love forgot the worlds
She had pointed out on high,
And deemed each wonderful point of light
The glance Of an angel eye.
And when she knelt v ith her babes in prayer,
! know each petition now,
saw the CLEAN Of those wings of light
Lay beautiful on her brow.
Years passed, and in earliest youth knelt
BY my mothers dying bed;
The lips we're mute that had spoken love,
And the eyes bright glaoce had fled.
And when turned from that silent room,
Where the latest word was spoken,
The shadow of death o er my spirit lay,
And thought that my heart as broken.
sought The hush Of the midnight air,
And wept till the founts were dry;
The earth was clad in weniry garb,
But the star hosts filed the sky.
And then remembered the faith divine,
! And the loitier life to come,
And felt the shadows of death depart
From ny childhood sacred heane.
And often now when my soul is dim
With earth and It's wearying cure,
And my heart is faint with feverish thirst,
And burdened with contrite prayer,
hasten forth TO the starry gems
That circle the brow of night,
And track with them the eloquent depths
| OF the boundess infinite.
They whisper low of holier,
| And a faith sublime and high,
And again fancy each golden beam
The glance of a seraph's eye.
As in days of yore, VIXEN careless child,
| | stole to my mothers knee,
And asked of the wonderful points of light
That shone er the deep blue sea.

STOOP A LITTLE.

The following story, related hy DR..
Franklin in letter TO DIR. Malher, has
been often told and is worthy telling a.
gain:-
"The last time ssw your father" says
DR.. Franklin, twas in 1924. In taking
my leave he showed me short way out
of the house, through narrow passage,
which was crossed by beam over head.
We were still talking as l withdrew, he
accompanying me behind, and Turning to-
ward him, lie said hastily, 'TOop, Stoop =
| did moi understand him till felt my head
hit against the beam. He was man who
never missed an occasion Of giving in
.truction, and upon this said 10 me, You
are young. and have the world before YOU,
Stoop lille as You 60 through it, and you
will avoid many hard thumps! This ad-
vice, thus beat into my head, has frequent
ly been of use 10 me; and often think Of
il when | see pride mortified, and misior-
tunes brought upon a people by carrying
their heads too high"

yes, OF his clerk-of the clerk of Jer-
emiah Crouk, Esq, one of the, upper ten
thousand. Was there no atotiement for
this disgrscs--no means of wiping 1t out
There seemed nonel Henry Judkin, the
unknown; Henry Judkin, his clerk, was
now his son.in-law. Poor man! he pa
ced the floor half the night, and then went
10 bed and went 10 sleep. What else
could he do9 .
On the third day after the elopement,
Judkin and his young bride were sitting
in their private parlor at one of the hotels
in Philadelphia. The husband was look
ing oyer New York paper which he
had Just obtained.
'Hurrah!" he suddenly exclaimed,
jumping up and fairly dancing about the
room. "Only just listen to this" and he
read:
"CoPARTNERsHIp NorrcE.-I have this
day associated with me as partner, Mr..
Henry Judkin. Hereafter the business
will be conducted under the name of Crouk
and Judkin. JEREMIAH CRoUK."
The young man then threw the paper
on the floor, and in the delight and sur
prise of the moment, caught his young
bride, who was already weeping tears of
joy, in his arms, and hugged and kissed
her i'll most unromaniic way.
At the end of the week. they returned
to New York. On the wharf they found
The fathers carriage waiting for them, and
were driven by the strong, fleet horses,
in very short space of time, to the ele-
CANT mansion in Fifth Avenue, where
Jndkin's senipr partner was waiting
maiing TO receive him. From a poor
clerk he suddenly found himself one of
the upper ten thousand" He bears his
honors 5ravely.
All must admire the ingenious manner
in which Mr.. Crouk sta, ed off the dis.
grace that was about tovisit his ianily.-
The happy suggestion came while he pa
ced the floor of his parlor even until past
the hour of midnight, and he acted upon
it with the least possible delay. The an
nouncement Of the marriage and CO. part
ncrship were almost simultaneous, and
there were few who were aware of the
fact that Judkin was only his clerk, and
had married his daughter without his con-
sent. Strange things happen sometimes
among the "upper ten thousand"
