THE STARS.

What are their years2 The nights unfath-
omed deep
Rings back no answer gives no glimmering
key;
And still unknown, and beautiful they keep
The silent courses of eternity.
What are their memories of creations days,
When startled chaos, from it's kingdom
hurried,
First knewit's master, and with glad amaze
They sang the birth-song of our trembling
world?
What have they looked on since, with pa.
tient eyes,
While million years uncounted rolled away?
Who claims antiquity for q man that dies.
Before such records OF the past as they?
Can On they to man the mystery explain,
Inc why, tho whence, OF his uncertain
Unlock the riddle that he reads in vain,
And clear the tangled problem of his fate?
Can they fashion to the future give,
And tell the whittier of mans anxious quest?
Make life less than wearisome to live,
Or stay the hazard of his wild unrest?
Oh, stars! what midnight message do YOU
bear
10 minds grown weary with the years in
crease?
The wistful eyes that watch you shining
there,
Look out of troubled hearts that know
not peace.

Modern Literary Chances.

The aspirant for literary honors
with pecuniary remuneration should
remember that the most famous
names in the literary guild earned
their money for the most part in
other than literary ways. Bryant
was an editor and publisher. Long
fellow and Holmes and Lowell were
Harvard professors. Emerson and
Bayard and Taylor were lecturers
and Taylor was also Tribune edi-
tor. Curtis and Stoddard depend
upon editorial salaries; Stedman is
a broker, and Halleck was John
Jacob Astor's private secretary.
And one might go further with this
list. Whittier began as an editor,
and only in middle life attempted to
lean on literature alone for a support
which his early savings and simple
habits made possible.
1t was always Longfellow's advice
to young men who wished to be lit
erary to have first, and mainly, a
vocation independent OF the finer
muse. If a young writer thinks he
possesses genius he may of course
experiment with it, but it will serve
his purse and peace of mind better to
secure some source of labor and in
. come that is more philistine and
worldly and ride his Pegasus only at
inspired intervals. For it is a fact,
in spite of the occasional big figures
that are given as the result of liter
airy work, pure and simple, that the
men who prosper or have prospered
by that alone are only, at any one
time, a few dozen in number among

How They Carry Money.

One of the queerest sights is to see
how different immigrants carry their
money.
Most English immigrants carry
their coins in a small case, attached
to a chain, which they keep in a peck
ct as they would a watch.
Irishmen always have a little can
vas bag in which notes and coin are
crammed together. Irish girls on
the other hand. generally have their
money seWed on the inside of their
dresses.
Germans carry their money in q
belt round their waists, and the belt
is usually an elaborate and costly
affair, no matter how. poor the i'm
migrant may be.
The French mostly carry a small
brass tube in which they can place
forty or fifty twenty franc pieces and
remove them very readily one at a
time.
There are very few Italians who do
not curry large tin tube in which
they keep their paper money or silver.

their neck by a small chain or cord.

MY PALACE.

High over the lamppost, high over the street,
Remote from tibet traffic, its rust and it's beat,
Meath a sky now o'erclouded, now sunny
and blue,
Idwell in the stiffness, my dear one, with you.
My windows are grimy, my walls they are
bare,
wreck is my table, q ruin my chair!
Yeti prize them far better than if they were
new,
For they tell me, my dear one, they tell me-
ofyou.
Untroubled by visitors, tranquil brood,
At the chimney top'slevel folk seldom intrude
And ! heed them but little if ever they do,
For am talking, my dear one, still talking
to you.
Then as dust over gable and roof hovers near
And the first star is family beginning to
peer,
Halt song, half sigh, the dim easement
steals through,
And the angel who breathes it, my dearest
is you.
