carpenter looked on with wonder

"kept all these things and ponder

Thou fairest Child Divine

In Bethlehem Of Judea they
found the babe of Mary. The
place where the child was born is
now covered with a church. In
the pavement Of a basement chap
el at the east end Of the chapel, is
a silver star. A monk who guides
me through the building, crosses
his breast and forehead, and NUT
ters prayer before it; then turn
ing to me he says: "The: :manger
of Bethlehem"
For five years 1 had tried to
preach Christ, and lead perishing
souls to Him. A sad yearning,
plaintive homesickness mean

full death of a pious mother, who
from childhood led me on a heav-
enly path, deepened the sad yearn-
ing. She had been a star sent
from God to lead me to the Sav-
iour. Now the star disappeared.

forsaken, like a ship deprived of a
pilot when just nearing the port.
A hand, to me as gentle as an an
gels and heart that would have
died for me, were laid in the grave.
And now, with uncovered head, l
worship our Saviour aside the star
in the pavement, where the Wise
Men worshiped him. Around me a
score Of pilgrims kneel in prayer.
Now and then one prostrates
himself and kisses the pavement
near the silver star, and then
weeps as if his heart would break.
So God sends stars to lead US to
Bethlehem. For one it is a moth

a sister, a brother, child, a wife,
a husband. Blessed are they to
whom God sends the star, and
who are wise enough at once to
follow it's guidance and blessed
they, to whom it reappears in
heaven, when for season they
have lost sight Of it.

cell, hewn- out Of the rock, in

New York, June 19.-The New York
World to-day publishes a long letter signed
John F. Mines" purporting to give the
result of an interview between Mines and
Gen. Stewart L. Woodford, appointed u s.
District Attorney of this District during
the close of Grants administration. The
report details the plans made by the Grant
administration to put down, by armed
force the anticipated uprising by the DEM
ocrats to declare Tilden President and seize
the Government Offices
The report says Grant told me frankly
that there might be trouble here; that if
there was an attempt at revolution the
blame might be laid at his door, and that
he was determined to secure the Inaugural
ton of Mr.. Hayes at all hazards.
Ii an attempt had been made to inaugur-
ate Tilden on the City Hall steps or else
where in this cityf my orders and inten-
ton were to seize him at once under a
warrant, charging him with high treason,
to convey him secretly and securely on
board Government vessel lying in East
River and ship him to Fort Adams or some
secure point where he could undergo his
trial.
Just as sure as he had dared take the oath
of office he would have been whirled
through these streets and landed in gun
boat. Arrangement had been made to
overawe any mob by Government gunboats
and shell them out if necessary. Troops
were quietly brought from the West and
South and massed at Washington, Fort Nc
Henry and in our harbor.
No doubt there was plan to inaugurate
Mr.. Tilden in this city. but his natural
timidity and irresolution would not let
him assent to it. Mines it will be remem-
bered, was at one time editor of Conklng's
home organ, the Utica Republican, now
defunct.

The butchers nag gained steadily, and

Fortunately nobody was hurt, and when

good anyhow.
