The stars.
aye stars which are the poetry of heaven"

aye stars which are the poetry of heaven"
BYRON.
Ye gittering gems that stud the sky!
Ye sparkling eyes OF Silly ght!
Shine from your azure thrones on high,
And shed your mild and placid light
To calm world by mad ming passions riTen,
"Ye stars which are the poetry of heaven"
Der mountain rock and ocean food,
Incessant changes come apace;
The busy world of flesh and blood
Can find, alas! no resting place.
To you alone permanence is given,
"Ye stars which are the poetry of heaven"
Man climbs the giddy nights of fame
To seize a shadow-then to die;
Tolls for the tinkling of name,
That with the moment passes by;
But calmly on you shine, where ere he's driven,
eye stars which are the poetry of heaven"
And thus your marshall hosts have stood,
Since Adam ranged old Eden's bower,
And talked with Eve In joyous mood,
At twilights soft and balmy hour,
While thus arrayed, you shone that happy even,
eye stars which are the poetry of heaven"

Telephone Church.

The idea of telephone church is being
carried out at Tunbridge Wells, England,
where the pulpit of a congregational
church is connected with sixteen sub
scribers. We are told that 'these include
doctors and apothecaries, clerks working
in various parts of town, an invalid lady
who has been obtaining consolation from
the telephone for several months, and
some lazy club men who went into the
thing presumably more from a spirit of
experiment than devotion. Wires are be-
ing laid to Maidstone, and soon sub
scribers living there, in Rochester, in
Stroud and Chatham will be able, without
leaving their houses, to attend services in
Tunbridge Wells"

A Song of Killarney.

BY the lakes of Killarney, one morning in Msy,
On my pipe of green holly warbled away,
While blackbird, high up on the arbutus tree,
Gave back my gay music with eushes OF glee,
When nv Eileens voice stole
From the thoket Of holly,
And turned just the whole
OF my huting 10 folly,
And softly along
Through the myrtle and heather
The maid and her song
swept upon US together.
Twas an old Irish tale, full Of passionate trust.
OF two faithful lovers long laid in the dust
And her eyes she sang looked so far, far away,
She went by me, nor knew she went by, where lay
And myself and the grass,
And the little red daisies
Should let our dear pass
Only whispering her praises,
Till the lass and her lay
Through the myrtle and heath
Like a dream died away
Ger the mountains together

LAPORTE, June 26.-TSpecial.l-A report
founded on the work of high official Of the
road has it that the Lake Shore company will
construct new line from Rolling Prairie, in
the east part of this county to the Michigan
Central. crossing west of here. to avoid the
high hill at Otis. This hill is the highest point
of land in the state, and has been terrible
burden TO the Lake Shore people. Last year
they spent thousands of dollars and months of
time in cutting it down. hut were only partially
successful as they are still compelled to use a
"pusher" engine to help freights over the
grade. The new line will cut of this city, Otis
and Chesterfield and leave them on local
line. while all through business will go over
the new road. The line will run about six
miles south of this city.

SAND TRIP LED HoAnE.
Whole was a name that charmed the eef
OF Israers mighty fold;
There was no heart but it could cheer
And thrill with Joys untold
when through the deep the journey led.
Or coursed the burning sand,
Twas sweetest word was ever hesrd
By Israel's wandering band
when sorrows trials, sore oppressed,
And clouds bedimmed the day.
But raise the fold, yon hills Of gold,
Would scatter night away.
At last the children reached their home,
And so, dear friends. may we,
But res our eyes on yonder skies,
And tight for victory.

Ye Yankee blades attend my prayer,
Your treatment Of me is not fair;
One who in honor held place,
From favor banished-what disgrace;
in your parlors once did shine,
Oh, what a mighty fall was mine.
And when you found me az the ploV,
An humble calling, must allow,
From honest labor was sent
Into ignoble Punishment
On srbor day must hide my face;
a festival I used 70 grace.
I almost fear my reign is DER,
I'm not in odor any more;
No more among my neighbors seen,
I think your treatment very mean

cHILDREN's coUNrING-oUT RHYMES.
The More Prominen Examples From Which
Hundreds Have Followed.

The More Promine nt Examples From Which
Hundreds Have Followed.
The best known is
"Onery, Twoery, dickery, davy,
HalabOne, cTacksbone, tenerv, navy,
Discum. dandum, merry come time,
Humbledy, humbledy, twenty nine
OUT. OutI"
Somewhere about one hundred different
variations and versions of this ryhme alone
are given The following is one of several
versions from Scotland (Aberdeen):
Emery, tvaery, tuckery, tayven,
Halaba, crackery, ten or elayven,
Peen, pan, musky dan,
Feedeam, fadelum, twenty-one."
From a work on the Gypsies, by Mr..
Charles G. Leland, we have specimen
of a Gypsy magic spell; 1t is as follows:
'Ekkeri, akairi, you kair-an,
Fillisin, fallisin, Nicholas jan,
Kiri, kari, Irishmsn,
Stint, stani, buck"
This, on comparison, will be found to be
almost identical with the first example we
have given of a contingent rhyme;
"ekkeri, akairi" being the equivalent in
Romany for "Onery, twoery." Another
very familiar form is that commencing
"Eeny, meeny," etc. This is great favor
tie among American children, the COM
monest version being:
"Eeny, meeny, miny, mo,
Catch Niger BY the toe;
II he holers, let him go,
Eeny, meeny, miny, mo-"
This example gives evident proof of adap-
tation to American ideas, but the prelimi-
nary and concluding 'Eeny, meeny" are Of
obvious German or Dutch origin. Such as:
'sEne, tene, none, mel.
Pastor, lone, bone, strei,
Enc, fune, herke, berke,
Wer2 VIE? Wo? Was2-(N. Germany
Some of the transmogrifcations of words
are very interesting, the Pastor, lone" of
the German rhyme given above-we find in
Cornwall as "Basca, lora;" while in
America it is changed int 'Pestalony,"
'Piskylarra," Barcelona" "Pennsylva-
MA" Butter lather," 'Tuscalona," etc.
One Of the most amusing transitions is in
connection with the rhyme:
zone Is ALL two is all, zick is all zan,
Bobtail nanny-goat, little, tail, TAM
Harum, scarum, Virgin Mary,
SinRleum Sangleum, jolly, oh buck.
Here we have very good illustration of
the evolution theory of modern scientists.
The first form of "bobtail nannv-goat'
changes to "bobtail billy-goat;" "bob-tail
dominicker," "bobtail vinegar" and the
last. through course of time and altered
conditions of existence, the despised bob
tail nanny-goat' ultimately develops into
the highly respectable fern OF baptist
minister A curious and exceedingly
interesting example comes from New
England thus:
"a in. tain, fethery, in;
Arte saltur, debbcry, dick;
Aintic, taintic, fethertc, bumpt;
Ain bumpit tain bumpit, gee-kitV'
