In the ancient Egyptian astronomy

the most remote, is Saturn, Jupiter,

four hours, and each successive hour
consecrated to a particular planet in the
order stated--so that, one hour being
consecrated to Saturn, the next fell to
Jupiter, the third to Mars, and so on,
and each day was named after the planet
to which its first hour was consecrated.

his old friend, Fred Davenport, had

MORAL AND RELIGIOUS.


Friendship is good deal like china.
1t is very durable and beautiful as long
as it is quite whole; but break it and
all the cement in the world will not
quite repair the damages. You may
stick the pieces together, so that at a
distance it looks as we'll as ever; but it
won't hold hot water. 1t is always
ready to deceive you, if you trust it;
and it is on the whole very worthless
thing, fit only to be set empty upon a
shelf and forgotten there. The finer
and more delicate it is, the more utter
the ruin. A mere acquaintance, which
needs only little ill-humor to break it
up, may be coarsely puttied, like that
old yellow basin in the store closet, but
tenderness and trust and sweet exchange
of confidence can no more be yours
when angry words and thoughts have
broken them, than can those delicate
porcelain tea-cups, which were splin-
tered to pieces be restored to their
original handsome excellence. The
slightest crack will spoil the true ring,
and you had better search for new
friend than try to mend the old one.
And all this has nothing to do with for
giveness. One may forgive and be for
given; but the deed has been done and
the word said. The flowers and gliding
are gone. The formal "making-up,"
especially between two women, is of no
more avail than the wonderful cements
that have made cracked ugliness OF
the china vase that you expected to bs
your "ioy forever" Handled delicately,
washed to purity in the waters of truth,
confided to no careless, unsympathizing
hands, friendship may last two lives
out, but sit does not pay" to try to
mend it. Once broken, it is spoiled
forever.
