The Bright Star of Bethlehem.

There have appeared from time to
time within the past few years notices
OF the expected reappearance of the
"Star of Bethlehem" in the constella-
ton of Cassiopeia, with dark surmises
as to the ominOuS results to the world
and to humanity which it's coming is
to f)reshadow. AS an instance of the
kind of speculation in which some
minds delight, the following may be
quoted:
"In 1887 the Star of Bethlehem
will beonce more seen in 'Cassiopeia's s
chair and it will be accompanied by
total eclipse of the sun and moon.
This star only makes its appearance
every 3l5 years. 1t will appear and
illumine the heavens, and excel in
brilliancy even Jupiter when in op-
position to the sun and, therefore,
nearer to the earth and brightest. The
marvellous beauty of the Star of Beth
lehem' in 1887 will surpass any of the
previous visitations.
1t will be seen even at MONDAY,
shining with quick, flashing light
the entire year, after which it will
gradually decrease in brightness and
finally disappear, not toreturn to our
heavens till the year 2201 or 3l5 years
from 1887. This star first attracted
the attention of modern astronomers
in the year 1872. 1t was then called
a new star. 1t was no new star, how
ever, for this was the star that shone
so brightly 4 B. c., and was the star
that Illuminated the heavens at the
nativity Of fChrist. 1t has reappeared
every 3l5 years since, and every edu-
Gated astrologer is certain that it will
appear in August, 1887.

The Sparrow and the Beetle.

Inc sparrow and the beetle met one
DAY in the summer, when the straw
berries and raspberries were ripe, and
the kitchen-garden was full of f}our-
ishing vegetables.
GOOD morning, you are early
Abroad" said the sparrow. "Pray.
where may you have been ?u

"Ohp said the sparrow, with a

The beetle began to feel nervous ::

sparrow sternly. 81 am here to pro-
tect my masters plants. AS it is. I

30 saying, he seized upon the hap
less beetle, and put an end to him.
But as he was about to fly home. a
cat, who had been watching from the
ooughs OF neighhoring plum tree,
appeared in sight. The sparrow drop
ped his prey, and remained fascina-
TED to the spot, his eyes fastened on
the cat. who came nearer and nearer.
"ls it for you" said she, "to de-
prlve an innocent insect of his life,
and to accuse him of robbery, when

feebly attempted to speak. "Iknow
my duty, and it is to rid my master

So saying, the pounced upon the
unfortunate sparrow, and was carry
ing 1t home to her kitten, when the
gamekeeper, who had his eye upon
her on account of the numerous hares
and rabbits that she had made away
with. levelled his gun at her, and
fired with such good effect that she
fell dead.
Now, the moral of this tale is that
those who would punish the faults of
others should be careful to see wheth-
er they themselves are blameless, or
they may find that retribution awaits
them even in the moment when they
think they are going to triumph.

Snow was snch novelty in Stock
ton, CAL, that a snowstorm the other
day turned the entire population out
for snow-balling. The managers of
the street car lines withdrew all their
cars at 5 O'Clock in the afternoon. The

balls, and the drivers and conductors
were mercilessly pelted from one end
of the line to the other, with the po-
lice powerless to stop the great frolic.
