CHILDHOOD,S PRAYER.

The fire upon the hearth is low,
And there is stiffness everywhere;
Like troubled spirits, here and
there
The freight shadows huttering go,
And as the shadows round me creep,
A childish treble breaks the gloom
And softly from a farther room
Comes, Nov I lay me down to sleep.
And. somehow, with that little prayer
And that sweet treble in my ears,
NY thought gdes back to distant
years
And fingers with a dear one there,
And as hear the child's amen,
Ny mothers faith comes back to
me-
Crouchea at her side I seem to be,
And mother holds my hands again.
Oh, for an hour in that dear place!
Oh, for the peace Of that dear time
Oh, for that childish trust sublime
Oh, for glimpse Of mothers face!
Yet, as the shadows round me creep
! do not seem to be alone
Magic of that treble tone
And ~Now / lay me down to asleep.n.

Peoble Events|
By Celia Myrover Robinson.

NUNS brought to mind the asilyery
lances" Of the moons soft light.
Every detail was worked out with
the nicely and care characteristic Of
Mrs. Bessey.
The dining-room was a glimpse of
fairy land. miriads of stars peeped
from every conceivable place. Fast
ened above the table was an immense
sunflower representing the sun, from
which depended twelve long, yellow,
silken ropes, representing radius VIC
tors of the sun, to the ends of which
were attached cards, containing the
names of planets, stars and comets,
coupled with the names of the mem
bers of the Star Study Circle, in such
dainty original verse as only Mrs.
Bessey writes. These were the place
cards. These cards were read by
Mrs. ]. H. Barber, Mrs. Bessyss sister
and each guest received radius vec-
tor and found his place.
A delicious supper was served, of
olives, nuts, ice cream and cake. The
table was strewn with small star
shaped cakes with an occasional
comet.
Seated at this table were the men,
bers of the Star Study Circle, Mrs.
Bessy, Mrs. Morris, Mrs. Emery, Mrs.
Zimmerman, Mr.. r. E. Jones, Mas
tiers Charles Emery, Louis Born and
Neal Morris, Misses Lizzie Jones ana
Margaret Ray, and the guests of
honor, Miss Margaret Mcintyre and
Miss Evanette Robinson, of Pensa-
COLA.
A table somewhat less deliberately
arranged was laid in the library for
the other guests, Mr.. and Mrs. ]. III.
Barber, Of Pensacola, Misses Beulah
and Minnie Anderson, of Brent, Mrs.
Born, Messrs. Morris, Zimmerman
and Dr.. Borst of Pensacola.
Later in the evening the guests
gathered in the parlor and a most
pleasing informal program was en-
ioyed.
Miss Margaret Ray read an origi-
nal poem describing a trip among the
consultations which showed wonder
full talent.
Readings by Mrs. Emery, Mrs. Zim-
norman and Mrs. Morris, and Misses
Mcintyre and Robinson were inter-
spersed with musical selections and a
short but Interesting discussion on
Light, by the three young men of the
circle.
Miss Lizzie Jones gave several
piano selections very beautifully. Mr..
Barber was IN excellent voice and
rendered some classical selections. He
and Mrs. Barber delighted every one
with vocal duet.
The piano duet by Mrs. Bessey and
Mrs. Barber was thoroughly enjoyed.
Mrs. Bessey delighted her guests
with piano solo expressively rem
dered.
One Of the very enjoyable features
Of the evening was the conversation,
with brilliant flashes of wit, puns and
stories.
Mrs. BessyA has the happy faculty
of surrounding herself with congenial
friends. She is deep student and
has interested herself for some time
| in the study of the stars. About two
years ago the Star Study Circle was
formed and it has proved most en-
| joyable and instructive.

There is no unbelief;
Whoever plants . seed beneath the

Whoever sees meath Winters fields

Whoever lies down on his couch to

Content to lock each sense in slrmber
