The white stars, one by one,
Lean out of their easement high,
And the lily-cup Is folded up,
And the moon-clouds wander by.
Come hither, ye little Wildwood things,
That sing when tho errant night-winds sings
Far up in the windy sky. ' "''
Ours Is the noon
OF tho fairer moon,---, ..l o.
And voice in tho dark am
Morning will come TO greet 'i
A little new rose, wis M "
But the loving air that heard II ope uf
Hath welcomed 1t with kiss. ....'
And the clouds with tho white np-gathering
hands
Bringing the rain from far-ofr lands,-
They sing rs they wander by.
All are awake
For singing's sake;
A voice 10 the dark am L.
What shall we hear by day2 -
Tho tread OF thou and feet
Come but horo when the night is near
And listen, and find II sweet.
The voice OF tho things ye dream are dumb
The murmur of living, the waters hum,
And the growing OF the grass
Voices OF all
In the night that call,-
A voice am that pass.
The tremor OF moths that fit,
The laughter OF leaves that blow,
And the hurtling wings OF a wind that sings
And the bending OF grass below.
The little white voice OF flower unborn
Thou shalt not blossom for many morn;
Yet 1t grows all stead diastly:
Under the night,
II feels the light
OF stars In an unseen sky.
The little Fastening hare
Listens with anxious ear
To know II the Day be on her way
Day that must never hear.
Chameleons shy, and the hidden bird,
Tho silver lizards, all these be heard
In their strange and wilding speech.
II fye but bark,
They sing at dark,
In the night that loves them each.
Who passes beneath2 Who singsp
A voice that may live or die,
Let the only thing you know Of me
BE the song that wsnders by.
Come hither, ye little living things;
Sing with me now rs each star sings
Each star In the beckoning sky;
For the day must come
And we be dumb
And voice In the dark am I.

shows that in the first year of life the
mortality of the female is much less
than that OF the male, being at birth
92.64 per 1000 as against 112. 80 and
at the end of the year 31.S7 as against
35.08. This difference continues up
to the fourth year. From to IL the
female mortality is greater than that
of the male, being at the latter period
a'56 for males and 4 429 for females.
At the age of 48 the male mortality
equals that Of the female, the lat er
having been up to this time slightly in
excess. During the years 46 TO 56, the
period of the climacteric, the male
mortality gains rapidly on the female,
being 6.32 per annum for the one and
only 3.47 for the other. Hence the
climacteric is really much more se-
rious time for man than for woman.
After 56 the female mortality gains on
that of the male, but is always slightly
below it. Woman has not only less
mortality, but agreater longevity than
man. There is, also, plurality OF
female births.

Mrs. Mary E. Harris, of Roxbury,
Mass, has had for thirty years the
hobby of collecting buttons, until now

A Song That Joined Hearts.

"How oddly things come about"
Mrs. Marshall said, coming into the
room where her sister and two daugh-
ters were busily engaged in the manu-
facture of two elaborate evening
dresses. "Mrs. Montgomery has just
called, and tells me her brother Har-
old will be home in time for Mrs.
Grants party"
The knot OF blue satin ribbon was
suddenly crushed out of all shape by
the quick, convulsive grasp of Miss
Efiie Selwyn's fingers, while about
that lady's lips gathered whiteness
and moisture that threatened faint
ing fit.
For moment the room looked
dark and the voices sounded far away,
and indistinct-only for q moment /;
then she reused herself bravely, to
see that her agitation had been unno-
ticcd, and to hear her niece, Carrie,
saying:
81 never knew Mrs. Montgomery
had a brother"
Probably not" said Mrs. Mar
shall. "He has boen in China for
how many years is it, Effie?"
'Twelve."
For her very life Effie could not
have spoken more than one word with
composure.
"Twelve years" cried May. No
wonder you think Carrie and I know
nothing about him. He must be as
old as his sister"
'Let me see; he was about twenty
three when he went away" said Mrs.
Marshall, musingly. "He is not more
than thirty-five. That is still young
for a man"
The Misses Marshall, brightest oi
blondes, wore to appear at the coming
festival in clouds of white tulle with
blue trimmings, and the multitudin,
ous skirts, puffs and rutiles demanded
by fashion required busy stitching fol-
weary hours beforehand.
Miss Selwyn had also been bidder
to the party, but "Aunt Effie never
went anywhere" the girls said. sc
there was no dress preparing for hel
adornment
As her needle wont in ana out
through cloudy tulle and lustrou
satin. Efiie Selwyn thought;

A WOMAN NATURALIzEp.

The unusual spectacle of woman
being made a naturalized citizen of
the United States was presented in
Judge Hutchin's court in Cleveland
recently, when Mrs. S. Louise Patti
son took the oath OF allegiance to sup
port the constitution of the United
States. Not many weeks ago the gen.
eral assembly passed an act permitting
Ohio women to vote in elections for
school officials. Desiring to take ad-
vantage of the provision, Mrs. Patti
son found it necessary to be natural
lied, inasmuch as she had been born
abroad but having come to these
shores before her 18th year, she had
only to take out one set of papers,
and may now vote at any election
when school officials are to be chosen.
She is the first woman to be natural
lied in Ohio, and possibly in the
United States. She was born in Wey-
ach, Switzerland, on February IA,
1853, and came to this country when
only IA years old. She is business
woman, supporting herself by work as
a stenographer, especially In and
about the courts. Everybody &C.
knowledges her to be o brilliant wo-
man, and she is universally respected.

The New York Tribune maintains
Chat Switzerland has done perfectly
right in declining to accord to the
Russian government permission to
,erect granite cross 130 feet high on
ishc rock overhanging the DEVILS
Bridge at Andermatt. The object OF
the projected memorial was to com
uiemorate the passage OF the Musco-
vite General Souvaroff and his army
over the st. Gothard in 1893. AL
though the plea put forward by the
Federal Council at Berne for its re-
.jectlon OF the Russian application was
chat the monument would be "out of
keeping with the aesthetic exigencies
of the situation" yet it may be taken
for granted that the real considera.
tions which led the Swiss Government
10 raise objections to the proposal
were to he found in the fact that the
monument would, after all, serve to
commemorate most fragrant viola
'tion OF that neutrality which is the ba.
sis of Switzerland's treasured indie,
pcndence. and to honor one of the chief
Offenders in the matter. Indeed, the
demand of the Russian Government
,esn only be regarded as one of cool
mess as monumental in size ss the pro
-iected cross. -----'''---

The evening was half gone, and
Effie had only seen at distance the
tall figure and handsome face of the
hero of the evening.
He was much altered, Efiie thought.
Yet, as the hours flew by, she caught
herself recognizing certain express
sions of the dark eyes, the mobile
mouth, certain infections of the deep,
manly voice, and once her heart beat
tumultuously as familiar laugh rang
out upon the air.
More than once she had screened
herself from tall figure approaching
the place where she stood, and more
than once the violet silk had Aitted
into another room just as Harold Rus
sell thought he could touch it.
There had been much dancing when
a small party of music lovers collected
around the grand piano, begging Miss
Selwyn to sing.
"Just one song, Miss Selwyn," Mrs.
Grant herself entreated. "There are
so many anxious to hear you"
Very reluctantly the lady drew off
her white gloves and seated herself
before the piano.
The group around her listened for
the usual brilliant prelude and an
elaborate and difficult "show Off
song, but after a moment of silence
the little hands struck two rich, full
chords. A moment she paused then
to steady the trembling heart; then,
in clear, sweet voice, she sang the
opening verse of "Auld Lang Syne.
The second verse WAS sung, when
close beside the singer a deep bass
voice joined in the chorus.
Quick crimson fiushes passed over
Effie's cheek, but she sang steadily, ai
every chorus the voice she knew SC
well joining her own.
Nobody else noticed it, but with
each verse these voices, SO estranged
grew stronger, clearer, more jubilant
till with the last one the spirit seized
them all, aud deafening chorus o.
the company closed the song.
They drifted away, broke up into
couples and groups, while Harold
Russell, affecting to turn over som,
music, said in low voice:
