shrewd selfish man of the world.
when on his death bed, called his only son
to him and advised him never to commit
himself to paper. He told him that he
could talk as much as he pleased, but if he
wrote letters he could not tell when they
would return to confront him and, perhaps,
defeat his fondest aspirations. In worldly
point OF view, this was, perhaps sound adj
vice. but 1t was somewhat cowardly after
all, When the wing party nominated Gen.
Harrison for the presidency, they acted, il
we may believe well authenticated ira
dition, upon this principle. At secret
conclaYe of the wing leaders-It is reported
and there is not much question about its
truth-a committee was appointed to see
to 1t that General Harrison did not write
any letters, upon political subjects, until
after election. This committee, if such a
committee there was, faithfully attended
to their duties-howcyer this may be, he
did not write any letters during the cam.
pasn. No one can tell when letters NAV
turn up, or how they may determine a
mans political future. Martin Van Buren,
was inveigled into writing a letter upon the
Texas question and his political doom
was sealed from that day Henry
Clay met his political death in the
same way. Lewis Cass reasoning
as men, reason, would, probably, have
been President Of the United States. in
place of Zachary Taylor, if he had not
written that celebrated letter, or apology
Tor letter, to the Chicago convention, as
sembled to consider internal improvements.
Jesse d. Bright was expelled from the
United States Senate on account of a letter
written by him, Our political history is
full of examples of the danger of writing
letters upon politics, or upon any other
subjects which can, possibly be considered
as having the remotcst bearing upon poll
tics.
The last man killed by n letter, or pre-
tended letter, is Caleb Cushing He was
nominated by the President as minister to
Spain, and was, without delay and almost,
II not quite, unanimously, confirmed by
the Senate. Subsequently, the President
nominated him for chief justice. His abil-
ity, integrity and entire fitness for the posi-
tlon-except in one particular--was con-
coded. 1t was claimed that he was not
loyal to the Union during the war. In

TALKS ABOUT THE STARS.


No. 1.
There is Il belt of twelve consultations
reaching clear around the heavens called
the Zodiac. Now who will try to learn the
names of the twelve consultations. All
that will try, raise your hands All hands
up.
| They are funny names, but do not laugh.
Pronounce them after me as | pronounce
them, and you cannot hear me ask some
body else to help you. Here they are ::
Aries, Taurus, Gcmini Cancer, Leo, Virgo
libza, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorncus
Aquarns, Pisces.
Pretty well for the first time, but YOU
must repeat till you have them learned.
and always in the same order.
Here are some oversees" in which the
meanings of the names are given in the
same order, and they will help you to re-
member the order.
"The Ram and Bull lead Off the line
Next Twins, and crab, and Lion shine
The Virgin and the Scales
scorpion and Archer next are due.
The Goat and Water-bearer too.
And Fish with gitterlng tails"
You must learn these lines so that YOU
can say them like the Capitalization tn
bic"
Now cut out II circular piece of paper as
large around at a watch of your cap, and
divide the edge into twelve spaces by lines
running through the center. You will have
something like the face of clock Write
in one of these spaces near the edge Aries,
in the next one Taurus, and so on till "A
name stands in each space in the proper or
der.
INT be sure to write them so that when
you move your pencil from Aries to Taurus.
from Taurus to Gemini and SO on the pen-
Gil will be going in just the opposite direc-
ton to which the hands of the clock move.
lie S"re about his. The order on the cir
cular paper will give you an idea of the di-
rection in which the sun seems to pass from
one of these consultations to another
throughout the year.
Put pin through the center of the paper
and with your back towards the north make
the paper turn around in the same direction
in which the hands of the clock move.
This will represent the consultations as
they rise ard set. When evening comes.
"bundle up" and go out, to see if YOU can
find any of the consultations named. Go
out about seven o'clock You can find the
"seyen stars without any help; you can
find sir of them at least. job used to look
at those stars, and he called them the
Pleiades, though after ALL perhaps he did
not use that word
Not far from these you will see letter |
V on its side and one bright star at the end |
of one line.
Both OF these groups are in Taurus.
Now you cannot help seeing not far from
Taurus, little south, that beautiful con-
stellation Orion. But this is not one of the
twelve, so just look to the left of Orion and
find Gemni; it has six bright stars making
an oblong figure. We will talk more about
the Zodiac next time.

What will country ''whihling politi-
clans" say to the New York Times now
Will they dare follow where it leads, and
approve of that which they know to be
wrong? VIII they still continue to assert
that the right or wrong of a measure de-
ponds upon the particular person or party

how the Times addresses itself to Roscoe
Conkling We quote from an editorial as
follows: care we to understand that Mr..
" Conkling is prepared to support any and
every nomination made by the President,
- whether it is good, bad or Indifferent?
" Has he ceased to represent New York
state, and is he hencctorth to represent
- only the White House Certainly it
- seems desirable that he should COMMUNE

Times has ceased to be "a good repubi-
can" newspaper, or are its conductors not
