HIS STARLIGHT.

You, who at my elbow sit,
BY whose eyes my lines are lit,
How shall any poets pen
Go amiss or falter when
Stars like these shine out above
Beacons kindled there by love-
Lighting UP the paths below
Where he wanders to and frof
Is 1t strange The rhymes should kiss
Under such o spell as thisf
They but mimic those, my sweet
Who of old were won't to meet
Meet and iinger at the bars
Making love beneath the stars:
We ourselves were happy rhymes
In those dear, betrothal times.
Take this lyric; every line
But reflects the stars that shine
Ger my shoulder telling me
OF my sweetheart's constancy;
And IL any word appear
Vague or needless say you: Here
Went q cloud across his sEiesi
This is where Its shadow lies."
But II any turn OF phrase
Tempt your lips to lisp Its praise,
Know you there the poet caught
From your eyes the graceful thought;
All the merits OF his song
To those constant stars belong
To those tender eyes that brim
Full with love to gladden. himi

from the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.l
An American artist, with whose name
all lovers of good pictures are familiar,
WAS narrating some of his war expert
ences at his club a few evenings since.
He served during the last three years of
the war, and fairly won the distinction
of being a brave soldier. 'T am not dis
posed to boast of the motive that prompt
ed me to enlist" said he to a group of
deeply interested friends, but 1 will tell
you what it was. Soon after the war
broke out was induced by a persistent
and smooth -tongued book agent to SUBJ
scribe for an expensive illustrated pub
lication. It was to be delivered in parts,
one part each month, and a payment of
two dollars was to be made at each de-
livery. Well, after a while got tired of
the thing and found the payments irk-
some. But could not shake off that
book-agent. He became a night mare to
me, and finally, to escape him, enlisted.
OF course had some inclination to go to
the front anyhow, but the book-agent was
the direct cause of my enlisting.

went to Chicago, and, having engaged
rooms in a lodging house, started out on a
prospecting tour. The first man to recog-
nize me in that town was that irrepressible
book-agent. He cheerfully informed me
that he had saved all the parts of the IL
lustrsted work for me, and he would
bring them to my lodgings the next day.
But he did not. for gave him bogus ad-
dress and left for New York that same
