When the Stars Fell

Tear Miss Thomas: / note In the last issue
Of The Semi. Weekly Journal MIR. Wofrord Hale,
Of Dallas Ca. asks the question: What day or
November, 1885, did the stars fall? Burnetts
history OF the occasion says;
The most sublime phenomenon Of shooting
record was witnessed throughout the Unlte1
States ON the morning OF November l3, 1888.
The entire extent OF this astonishing exhibl-
tion has not been precisely ascertained, nut
IL covered no inconsderable portion OF the
eaTths surface. The whole heavens seemed in
motion, and suggested TO some the awful gran
deur OF the image employed In the Apocalypse.
upon the opening Of the sixth seal, when the
stars Of heaven fell unto the earth a
fig-tree casteth her untimely figs when she is
shaken Of a mighty wind"
The Christian Advocate and Journal. dated
December u. 1888, says:
"Nn language, iTdeed, can come up to the
splendor Of that magnificent display, and
hesitate not to say that no one who did not
witness II can form adequate conception OF
its glory. II seemed as If though the whole
starry heavens had congregated at point
near the zenith. and were simultaneously shoot
every part OF the horizon, anil yet they were NOT
exhausted; thousands swiftly followed in the
track OF thousands, as II created for that oc.
casion."
Edward Dunkn f. r. A. s. Of the Royal
Observatory OF Greenwich, says:
THE spectacle must have been OF the most
sublime order. The Apostle John might have
had IL before him when he edited the passage
referring 20 the opening Of the sixth seal;

when she is shaken OF a mighty wind

there but for the quiet Intervention OF her
daughter.
One must see things in their true pro
portion and choose between the greater
and less. You may say that the wo-
man ] mentioned was silly not to choose
between a weed and n flower. True. but
she did not realize that II was a matter
Of choice; she was leaving both to fight
il out Don't you know men and wo-
men whose lives are checked with UNI
pleasantness because they failed to dis
criminate? We must be patient with them
and give them the love that suffereth
long and is kind; but we must also mold
up TO them the mirror of Truth and let
them see that we love them In spite or
their faults.
This does not mean fault finding nor
nagging. IT simply means plain state
ment OF facts; Just as those two girls
argued the meaning of friends and ac-
ouaintances. They have roomed together
three years and have grown to be real
friends. II takes time and personal as
ISOLATION as well as a community OF IN
terests TO make a lasting friendship.
And right here let me tell you that a
true Christian cannot yoke herself even
in an abiding friendship with an unbelieV-
er and not suffer many disappointments.
There will come times in their lives when
the barrier Of divided interests will cause
acute pain. Where one must suppress
ones highest aspirations and plans there
is not the satisfaction that real friendship
should give.
There should be many pleasant &C
quaintances in ones life. and they may
be reckoned as the ANNALS in flower
garden. every time a frost comes or the
winter season is over they must be re-
Slanted. But the roses and cedars and
lilacs grow from year to year; more beau
tiful. more satisfying and more a part Of
our lives.
Right here I would say a word to the
younger readers. You are forming char
acters that will be a Joy or pain in after
years. Be friendly. sow the seeds of all
that's good and when the autumn Of life
comes there will be friends about you.
There may not be more than three of
them friends Of earlier years; but thank
God for those three. and let IL be said Of
you that in all your life you were never
treacherous. nor ever bore false witness.
Faithfully yours.

ness man. and am away from the house
all day. and every day. have been mar
married seven years When 1 was mar
ried 1 only had $3.50 in cash and no prop
orty to back me up. and was working for
a very small salary and my Sue" was
well acquainted with my financial condi-
lions.
Now 1 am doing a good turpentine bus
mess in southwest Florida on my own
cash. We have two little girls and one
baby boy to make us happy. We live in
tho country of course, and have every
thing that we want. Sue does every
thing about the house, yard, COW and pig
pen that Mrs Hard Work does, and
have never seen her with a frown on
her face. never a cross word to any one.
Seldom a soiled wrapper on, and every
body says that we have the neatest lit
tie home in our section. 1 think that we
have had as steep a grade to climb as
any one that 1 have read of in the
Household.
1 am very sorry that Mrs. Hard Work
takes her task so hard. Susie says that
il she could not do that much and make
make her feel good all the time that she
would do more. 1 am very sorry. indeed,
for Mrs. Holly Leaf and Mrs. Desolate.
1 think that they had better go back and
take their Johns by the hand and take
the second run for life. 1 can't see why
any one would want to take life so hard.
My Sue says that she would like to

Mrs. Foster. So would l.

ever been a lirt. I have always pleaded
with my sisters to shun such company
and 1 went so far as to explain fully why
