First Impressions of New York

M l.. Ravage in Harper's Magazine
 I shall never forget how depressed my heart became as I trudged through those carts lining the sidewalks and the cen ters of the thoroughfares, the ill-smelling
 merchandise and the deafening noise. My pretty little cousin elegant in her Ameri- can tailored suit, was stepping along be- side me, apparently obliVious to the hor- rible miIfeu that was sickening me well nigh unto fainting. So this was America, I kept thinking. This was the boasted American freedom and opportunity-the freedom for respectable citizens to sell cabbages from hideous carts. the oppor- tunity to live in those monstrous, dirty caves that shut out the sunshine. And when we got beyond Grand street and en- tered the Rumanian section my cousin pointed out to me several of my former fellow correspondence of worth and standing they. had been in Vaslui-bar- gaining yociferously at one kind of stand or another, clad in an absurd medley of Rumanian sheep-pelts and American red sweaters Here was Jonah Gershon, who had been the chairman of the hospital committee in Vaslui and a prominent grain merchant He was dispensing soda

We'll here was one selling pickles from double row of buckets placed on a square cart, yelling herself hoarse to an insensible world in a jargon of Yiddish and English and warming her hands by snatches over an outlandsh contraption filled with glowing coals. Farther on I came upon another laboriously pushing a metal box or wheels and offering baked potatoes and hot knishes to the hungry, cold d-bitten passers-by. And all the while there was the dainty figure of Cousin Betty walk ing airi1y beside me, unaware of the huge tragedy of it all.

The period of a complete revolu- 1 tion about the orbit is about 193 years, but each star diminishes about half a
 magnitude in brightness and recovers again in the course of but few days. | The observer should also examine the
 most brilliant stars of the heavens, not ing their distinctive colors and their l comparative brightness. Thus the great Arcturus, at H. many thousands of times l brighter than our sun, is of reddish yellow color; the fainter Spca, at l, 1 that wonderful sun which is ceaselesly ! revolving about a dark and invisible con- panon with speed of 56 miles a second, ! is white star. while Vega, at K, the brightest star of the northern heavens, is of a decided blue.

 THE PLANETS IN APRIL
 The bright, but difficult. little planet
 Mercury will attain it's greatest distance
 east of the sun on April 24. and may
 be seen for a few evenings before and
 after this date shining well toward the
 northwestern part of the horizon, but
 low in the twilight glow. On the evening
 of elongation it will not set until one and
 one-h half hours after sunset.
 On April 16 the planet Jupiter, which
 is now drawing so close to the sun, will
 be passed by Mercury in it's eastward mo-
 tion, the two worlds then being three de-
 grees apart in the sky and Mercury be-
 ing north of Jupiter. --his interesting

THE STARRY SKIES IN APRIL

In the early evenings of April we see the striking star groups of the Great Bear and the Lion. both lying exactly on the meridian and both high in the heavens. very near the zenith. In the east is the wonderful Bootes. with its great, reddish-yellow sun, Arcturus, while the beautiful and deli- cate Northern Crown, and even the greatly extended and interesting Her cules, have now completely emerged from below the ground.
 The very large constellation Virgo may also be seen in its entirety, while below this the great Water Snake Stretches it's great length from the Southeastern horizon to well past the meridian in the west. The extreme western sky is still crowded with the brilliant groups of winter, but these are very evidently disappearing both Taurus and Orion have partly sunk below the ground. and though Gemini is still high in the heavens, the most brilliant midwinter star, Sirius, is now very close to the southwestern hori- zon.
 To one who studies and observes the wonderful heavens throughout the en- tire year, the various brighter stars cannot help but suggest the various seasons. The very brilliant, bluish Sirius recalls at once to his mind the long, cold nights of winter, while the Beautiful Scorpio, with it's surrounding groups of Ophuchus, the Eagle and tie Archer. bring to his memory many long and pleasant summer evenings or observation. Especially does he well come the very first appearance of the beautiful autumn star Vega and the en- trance into the evening heavens of the head of the Serpent, for when, as now, these both emerge from below the east ern horizon they tell him that the end

 THE APRIL STARS The possessor of a small telescope should not fail to examine the diffused cluster of stars at A, Figure l. nor the more difficult cloud at B. nor, above all the very brilliant cloud of suns al c, which last is the most wonderful star cluster visible to northern observers. Of this last object recent detailed studies in dicate that it is of an overwhelming and inconceivable magnitude, hitherto wholly unsuspected It is estimated that it's dis tance from us is so great that the light by which. we may view it tonight must have started on its journey toward us no less than 1o10 centuries ago. This dis tant cloud Is made up of more than COCO suns If the recent conclusions are cor rect, so vast a portion of space does it occupy that light would require 10 centuries to pass through the cloud from one side to the other. Thus the racius of this great assemblage of suns (which seems to have a nearly spherical form) is more than 100000 times as great as the distance from sun to the planet Neptune, which lies at the outermost boundary of the Solar system

away, to desert the rest Of the flock,
it can be done. So il, a follower Of
Jesus deliberately plans to go off, in
a life of sinfulness this can be done.
There is the strongest promises that
with the desire to keep right upper
most, trust in God, that nothing shall
be able to take us from the side Of
Jesus and the benefits which come
thereby. In Jude the writer, breaks
out in song OF rejoicing over Film
that is able to Keep you from falling,
and to present you faultless before
the presence of His glory" Every
christian has right to join in this song.
1t means that the all powerful arm Of
the Almighty God is behind every true
one of His followers and surely this
will keep them until death.

the shepherd, his well known cease

precious become the promises Of
Jesus having this relationship for us
all. The well known 23d Psalm has
its power in the expression of care by
the shepherd. In conclusion can
but urge that every reader have the
relationship to Jesus of His beloved
sheep. We would not spurn the pro

being so why turn from the loving
