ManY-Named DIpper.

That beautiful constellation, the Dipper, hangs, silent and solitary, amid the northern star-lighted firma- ment, like a veritable sky dipper in- deed, or sky blow driven around and around Polaris, the north star, says the New York Times. AS we all know, the dipper's 'pointers, Merah and Dubhe, indicate pretty accurately the whereabouts of the north star. There are five other stars in the Dipper. They are respectively in order from the end of the handle. Benetnasch, Misar, Alioth, Megres and Phecoa. Here in the United States we speak of this col lection of stars as the Dipper, while abroad it is known as La Grande Curse, Der Crosse Baer, Orsa Maggiore, and among the ancient Egyptians, who were not acquainted with the bear, 1t was known as the Hippopotamus.

A Song of Thanksgiving.
By Sarah Geikie Hammond.

The sunset pales beyond the western
 hills, And twilight's pensive shadows fall. Oh! joyous heart of mine, that gaily
 thrills,
 For through the silence, Love doth
 call. For Work-I thank Thee, Lord. The days toll over, weariness has fled ; My feet speed OCT the beaten way. Some kindly stars, their silvery bright
 ness shed;
 Our light, from cottage window
 throws its ray. For Rest-I thank Thee, Lord. Give thanks for food and shelter,
 warmth and light; Fling wide the door, my sweetheart,
 wife; Contrast to all the darkness of the
 night.
 Thou, greatest gift, my own Hearts
 Life, For Love-I thank Thee, Lord.
