conception of it all. Here is what has
been said of the stars:
Those preachers of beauty which
light the world with their admonish-
ing smile.-Emerson.
Those gold candles fixed in heaven
ir.-Shakespeare
Day hath put on his jacket, and
around his burning bosom buttoned it
with starS.-O. w. Holmes.
+ But who can count the stars of heav-
Ell, who sing their influence on this
lower world Thomson.
Heaven looks down on earth with all
eyes.-Young
The thoughts of God are in the
heavens.-Longfellow.
The eternal jewels of the short lived
night.-Mary Mapes Dodge
What are We orbs? The word of
God? The Scriptures of the 'skies?-
Bailey.
Teach me your mood, O patient
stars, who climb each night the an
cient sky Emerson
The stars above govern our condi-
acknowledgements.
Still singing as they shine.-O. W.
Holmes
Silently one by one in the infinite
meadows of heaven blOSsomed the
lovely stars, the forget-me-nots of the
angels.-Longfellow.
The starry heaven, though it occurs
so often to our vision, never fails to
excite an idea of grandeur.-Burke.
