1t is Expected to Appear This Year.
From the New York Sun.
The story is once more revived that
astronomers expect a temperance Of
the so-called star Of Bethlehem, either
this year or next year. Astronomers
would, no doubt, rejoice to behold that
celebrated star again blazing in all its
glory in the heavens, but they are far
from expecting it. The readiness with
which the suggestion has been accepted
that the star which suddenly made its
opeia in 1872, outshiuing even the most
brilliant of the planets, wa identical
with the star which the magl saw at the
birth of Christ, indicates how strong the
popular love Of the marvellous is. The
only evidence of identity is that in the
years 1894 and 945 brilliantstars sudden.
ly made their appearance i'll the same
quarter of the heavens in which the
wonderful star of 1872 was seen. Assu-
ming that these three stars were one
and the same body. which for some uD-
known reason blazes out with surpass-
ing brilliancy once In about $40 or 3l5
years, it is seen that it may have appear
ed GONE time near the date of Christ's
birth, n that 1t may appear again al
any time within a few years. But there
is no certainty that the stars seer in
1854 and 945 were in the same place
where the star of 1872 blazed out. The
records of their appearance are of the
most Ineagre and unsatisfactory kind.
Still, 1t may be said that the evidence OF
the identity Of these stars, upon which
is based the opinion that we shall soon
behold this celestial wonder again, is
fully as strong as that adduced to prove
the identity of many comets whose
periodicity is assumed. If this curious
star should reappear, it might throw q
flood of light upon the constitution of
some of the heavenly bodies, for the
astronomers, armed with modern instru-
ments and skilled in modern methods
a very different manner from that in
which it was studied in the time of Ty-
cho Brahe, VIXEN it last shone in our
skies.

The cen of 1894 is worth only 10 cents.

What of the Dead?

cred flower Of eternal hope. Immortal.

ages has been whispering to love. The
miracle of thought we cannot under

the world has never been explained.
The golden bridge of life from gloom
emerges, and our shadow rests. Beyond

the future has never yet been told. We
love; we wait; we hope. The more we
love, the more we fear; upon the ten
derest heart the deepest shadows fall.
All paths, whether filled with thorns or
flowers. end here. Here success
and failure are the same. The rag of
wr~etchedness and the purple robe of
power lose difference and distinction in
this democracy Of death; character alene
survives, goodness alone survives; love
alone is immortal. But to these comes a
time when the favored lips Of life long
for the cool, delicious kiss of death.
Tired of the dust and glare of the day,
they hear with Joy the rustlirg garments
OF the night. What can We say of death?
What can we say of the dead? Where
they have gone reason cannot go, and
from thence revelation has not come;
but let us believe that over the cradle
nature bends and smiles, and lovingly
above the deadi in benediction holds her
outstretched hands.-R. G. Ingersoll.

Collecting Secret News.

Another of the peculiar occupations
of Washington is II in which some Of
this same class Of men are supposed to
be engaged. This is the collection of
secret news for brokers and spectators
in Wall Street. If any action is about to
be taken by any committee of congress
or by the treasury department which is
at all likely to affect the stock market,
it is Of great importance to brokers there
to get an advance intimation of it, IL pos
sible. Men who have a large political
acquaintanceship have facilities for drop
ping into the secrets of committees and
departments which are not so likely to
be- enjoyed by other people; but as q
rule the men employed for work of this
kind are keen newspaper men who do
not correspond with papers requiring all
their time. Some of them have grown

BURDETTE's LECTURES TO YOUNG
MEN.

Robert ]. Burdette, the facetious
editor of the Burlington Ha7Okeye, has
been lecturing to large audiences in
different parts of the country, and in
his amusing style he imparts to the
rising generation some wholesome adj
vice. The following is from one of
his lectures:
Be somebody on your own account,
my son, and don't try to get along on
the reputation of your ancestors. No
body knows and nobody cares who
Adams grandfather was, and there is
not man living who can tell the name
of Brigham Young's mother-in-law.-
The lecturer urged upon his hearers
the necessity of keeping up with the
everyday procession, and not pulling
back in the harness. Hard work never
was known to kill men it was the fun
that men had in the intervals that kill
ed them. The fact was, most people
had yet to learn what fun really was
A man might go to Europe and spend
million dollars, and then recall the
fact that he had great deal more fun
at a picnic twenty years ago that cost
him just IS cents. The theory that
the world owed every man living was
false. The world owed man nothing.
There was living in the world for
every man, however, providing the
man was willing to work for it. If he
did not work for it, somebody else
would earn it and the lazy man ''would
get left" There were greater opportu-
mites for workers out West than in the
Eastern cities, but men who went out
West to grow up with the country
must do their own growing. There
was no browsing allowed in the vigor-
Gus West. An energetic man might 60
out into the far West, and in two or
three years possess himself of bigger
house, bigger yard, bigger barn,
and bigger mortgage than he could
obtain by ten years work in the East.
All young men ought to marry, and no
young men should envy old men or
rich men. In conclusion, Mr.. Bur
dette said that man should do well
whatever he was given to do, and not
despise drudgery. The world wants
good Shovelers, teamsters, and laborers,
but it does not want poor lawyers, poor
preachers, etc.

SELECTING A HORSE

The Zk,1, Field and Farm says: In
buying a horse, first look at his head
and eyes for signs of intelligence, tenn
per, courage and honesty. If bad
qualities predominate in horse, edu-
cation only serves to enlarge and inten-
sify them. The head is the indicator
of disposition. A square muzzle, with
large nostrils, evidences an ample
breathing apparatus and lung power
Next, SEE that he is well under the jowl,
with Jaw bones broad and wide apart
under the throttle. Breadth and full
ness between ears and eyes are always
desirable. The eyes should be full and
hazel in color, ears small and thin and
thrown we'll forward. The horse that
turns his ears back every now and then
is not to be trusted. He is either a
bitter or a kicker, and is sure to be
vicious in other respects, and, being
naturally vicious, can never be trained
to do anything we'll, and so a horse
with rounding nose, tapering forward,
and broad, full face below the eyes is
always treacherous and not to be de-
pended on. Avoid the long-legged,
stilted animal-always choosing one
with short, straight back and rump,
withers high and shoulders sloping,

B@~A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman proclaims rye the great pas
ture grass. He says: Rye can be
grazed for years all the season as a per-
manent pasture grass. In a two or
three days visit near Adrian, Mich,
the fact came to my knowledge that
rye had, in that country, been regularly
grazed as a pasture grass for three years
in succession, affording good pasture
to the end of that period. Rye is a
very hardy, deep roofing and vigorous
growing grass, and grows freely and
vigorously on almost any soil, even
when it is very difficult to grow the
finer ordinary pasture grasses in dry
seasons, and since it takes several years
to establish good compact grazing
soil with the best grasses, why is 1t not
preferable to plant the hardy rye, which
can be grazed for five or six seasons as
readily as for two or three, when it is
not allowed to become an annual by
forming seed heads2 Rye gives early
spring feed and late fall grazing if the
land be in moderately good condl-
ton. For ewes and lambs no grass
will supply earlier feed.

narHalf the burdens of life are caused

@Half the burdens of life are caused
by worrying. And more than half our
worrying is about the future. AS we
know nothing of the future, not even
one hour beyond the present, but can
only surmise and imagine, it follows
that by far the greater part of all our
worrying is simply about imaginary
things. Hence the folly of it. The
great difficulty, however, is that we
cannot help it by any direct effort OF
the will. There is only one cure for
worry, and that is to work so hard and
so earnestly at our present task as to
have no time for aught else; and to
leave the future to God.
