A New Astrology.

The old astrologers used to cheat the people with the idea that they could tell from the position of the stars what would occur in the future, and if cluster of stars stood in one relation, why, that would be prophecy of evil. If cluster of stars stood in another re- lation, that would be a prophecy of good. What superstition But here is a new astrology in which put all my faith. By looking up to the star of Ja- cob. the morning star of the Redeemer, can make this prophecy in regard to those who put their trust in God, "All things work together for good to those who love God" Do you love him?

Our first duty is to find our sphere. our second is to keep it. We may be born in a sphere far of from the one for which God finally intends us Six tus V was born on the low ground and was swineherd; God called him up to wave a scepter. Ferguson spent his early days in looking after sheep; God called him up 70 look after stars and be . shepherd watching the fiooks of lights on the hillsides of heaven. Hogarth be- gan by engraving pewter pots; God raised him to stand in the enchanted realm of a painter. The shoemaker's s bench held Bloomfield for little while,
 but God raised him to sit in the chair of 8 philosopher and Christian scholar.
 The soap boiler of London could not keep his son in that business, for God had decided that Hawley was to be one of the greatest astronomers of England.
 On the other hand, we may be born in . sphere little higher than that for which God intends us We may be born in castle, and play in a costly con- servatory, and feed high bred pointers, and angle for goldfish in artificial ponds, and be familiar with princes, yet God may better have fitted us for carpen

The great thingis to find just the sphere for which God intended us, and then to occupy that sphere and oc- cupy 1t forever. Here Is man God fashioned to make a blow. There is a man God fashioned to make constitu- ton. The man who makes the blow is just as honorable as the man who makes the constitution.

FRYE TALKS ON THE TREATY.
SAW NO EVIDENCE OF GENERAL
EUROPEAN OPPOSITION.

French Press Does Not Reflect the
sentiment of The PeopIe-NO DIM
Guilty Anticipated In Negotiating
Commercial Treaties with spain
United States Not Committed in
Any Wny as to the Islands.
Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Frye
talked to Star reporter to-day with re-
spect to the conditions attending and re-
sultlng from the peace negotiations.
with respect TO the frequently repeated
statement in press dispatches that the SEN
timent of the Powers. with the exception
OF England. was opposed TO the United
States, and looked with disfavor upon the
attitude of this government in dealing with
Spain, Senator Frye said:
Il saw no evidence of such sentiment
existing outside of France. and in France
that sentiment appeared to be confined to
the press, which does not reflect the SEN
timent of the nation nor the people gener-
ally"
do you think there Will be an early res
toration of cordial relations between
Spain and the United States?"
4 think that very soon after the rati-
hcations of the peace treaty and the res
toration Of diplomatic relations there will
be no difficulty about negotiating CONNER
cial treaties and treaty for the release
of prisoners, and such other matters d.
| reeted toward the perfect restoration of
friendly relations between the two gov
ernments. do not believe that the Span
ish government viii be at all disposed to
keep up unfriendly feeling between the
two governments. The making of new
treaties adapted to the present conditions
will be better than would be the restora-
ton of the old treaties. some features of
which were obsolete"
what has been published with respect
to the treaty Of peace seems to indicate.
does 1t not. that this government Is noe
committed by these negotiations with re-
spect to the future disposition of the terri
tory, Spanish sovereignty over which has
| been relinquished?"
1T indicates very strongly that this
government IS not committed In any wav
whatever with respect to the disposition
ana government of these islands If we
were insane enough 10 DO so, we might
give them all back to Spain after the rati-
| hcaton of the treaty. II we were fools
we might divide them up amongst the
other foreign Powers. The whole matter
Is left ia the hands of Congress. Con-
gress can make any disposition OF the
Islands IL sees fit The ratification Of the
treaty Will not in any way curtafl our
| privileges in this direction"
