Stella. the Evening Star.

Far away to the west where the log hut lay.
Bathed in the gloom of the closing day,
With nsught her joy to mar,
Dwelt a maiden fair with golden hair,
Whose form might well with her name com.

Twas Stella, the evening star.
Far away from the east the tempter came.
And the log hutS told tale of shame.
As many sucn there are
OF affection past. of maiden cast
Adrift to encounter along ife's blast,
Twas Stella, the evening star.
Far away to the north mid din and strife,
Bartering her soul for the means of life,
And bearing the branded scar
Which the world bestows with jeers and blows
ON the head OF those
Like Stella, the evening star.
Far away to the south, aye, out of the world,
With her twin named ship, which the tempest
hurled
And stripped of mast and spar,
Went down in the Deep she lies asleep
While the merciful waves increasingly weep,
Ger Stella, the evening star.

Harper's Razar is authority for the
dictum that a widow should be married
in a bonnet. In our opinion this idea is
wrong. BY the time the widow has
selected the style of bonnet in which she
wishes to appear at the ceremony the
groom will have lost patience and gone
elsewhere for wife. The best thing
for widow to be married in is in hur-
ry. Unless she has money. Then she
gan take her time. ---
