SONG OF THE STARS.

| - $500 ~ AASSs
When the daylight fades in the evening
shades, 81. 81 .'f'
And the blue melts into the gray, %
We pitch our tents in the ornaments
To guard the milky way.
And we gather the broken sunbeams up
That the day has left in It's path,
To kindle and build the glow, and gid
What our sparkling camphres hath.
With fond caresses, we jewel the tresses
OF the moon as she mounts the skies;
And the heavens We sprinkle with many a
twinkle u
That leaps from our laughing eyes.
But when the storm cloud rolls his car
In thunder across the sky,
And the lightning dashes in fltful flashes,
We hide ill the storm goes by.
The sun is our master, and no disaster
Can come to his night of rest;
For with constant eyes on the dim horizon
We guard the East and the West,
We sometimes find where the comet hides,
And Brighten him out of his lair,
TIL he speeds through the night, like fox
In his fight,
To his home In the great nowhere. u
We sometimes pause n our journey, because
We see ourselves in the glass
OF the silent lakes, or the sea, that takes
Our pictures as we pass.
But when the daylight quivers and breaks,
And the gray mets into the blue,
The tears we shed DER our fallen dead
Are found In the morning dew.
Alfred ELia0n.

Days and weeks passed, and the
officers of the grand old regiment we're
not invited to the proposed reunion at
the majors.
1t was whispered that his wife would
not allow it, and yet when the officers
individually had occasion to call at the
majors residence Sylvia treated them
so kindly and 80 considerably and be-
slowed upon them so much careful at.
te'ltion as friends Of her husband that
they went away loud in her praise.
II was on pleasant afternoon of the
following spring that the social circle
connected with our religious society met
at the majors house Latc in the even
ing knot of gentlemen we're seated
in tho great oriel Of tho back parlor,
while at the center table near by we're Q
few Of the ladies' at work.
In the orie the conversation turned
upon national affairs Deacon Rich ad-
vanced an idea in opposition to the
cherished political opinions of bis host.
The major was up in moment.
81 tell you, sir" he exclaimed, smit-
ing his huge fist upon bis knee, ''the
political sentiments which,
Hark
1t was the tapping Of knitting
needle upon the arm Of Sylvia's chair.
The major looked up and met the glance
Of his wife lie coughcd and STAN mered
and then smiled as he said;
"We won't enter into political dis
cussion in the presence of Indies. At
another time, deacon, I will give you
my opinion upon the matter"
On their way home Deacon Rich and
Squire Lewis walked together.
"Well, deacon, what do you think
now about poor little Sylvias daring to
say her soul s her own in the presence
Of her husband p
IL am amazed, confessed the deacon.
