SHOOTING STARS.
BY PH1LANDER JOHNSON.

The Philosopher.
I met mild philosopher
Who offered consolation
whenever mischief was astir
In any demonstration.
I said to him: "Since you advise
A patient self-denial,
Why do you not with manners wise
Give this same plan trial?
Il notice that you eat the best
The markets are availing,
And that you seek your downy rest
With comfort all unfailing."
Quoth he: "'Tis true these things I dc
AS I proceed to labor,
And faithfully put forth anew
Good counsel for my neighbor.
I'm never shy on food or sleep.
I need them In my mission.
It is by such things that keep
My lovely disposition"
