From that hour forth the child
looked out upon the star as on the

he did not belong to earth alone,

his sister's angel gone before. „

and all the rows of angels, with

those people's faces.
Said his sister angel to the
leader:
"Is my brother come?"
And he said: "Not that one,but
another."
As the child beheld his brother's
angel in her arms, he cried:
"Oh, sister, I am here! take
me!"
And she turned and smiled upon
him, and the star was shining.

Suggestions to Husbands.
Do not jest with your wife up-
on a subject in which there is
danger of wounding her feelings.
Remember that she treasures
every word you utter. Do. not
speak of some virtue in another
man's wife to remind your own of
a fault. Do not reproach your
wife with personal defects, for if
she has sensibility you inflict si
wound difficult to heal. Do not
treat your wife with inattention
when in company; it touches her
pride, * and she will not respect
you more or love you better for
it. Do not upbraid your wife in
the presence of a third person;
the sense of your disregard for
her feelings will prevent her from
acknowledging her fault. Do not
entertain your wife with praising
the beauty and accomplishments
of other women. If you would
have a pleasant home and a cheer-
ful wife, pass your evenings un-
der your own roof. Do not be
stern and silent in your own house
and remarkable for sociability
elsewhere.

And they answered, "Not yet,"
and the star was shining.
He grew to be a man whose
hair was turning gray, and he was
itting in his chair by the fireside,
leavy with grief, and with his
face bedewed with tears, when
the star opened once again.
Said his sister's angel to the
leader:
"Is my brother come?"
And he said: "Nay, but his
maiden daughter."
And the man who had been the
child, saw his daughter, newly
lost to him, a celestial creature
among those three, and he said:
"My daughter's head is on my
sister's neck, and at her feet
there is the baby of old time, and
can bear the parting from her,

And the star was shining.
Thus the child came to be an'
old man, and his once smooth 'face
was wrinkled, and his steps were
slow and feeble, and his back was
bent. And one night as he lay
upon his bed, his children stand-
ing around him, he cried as he
cried so long ago:
"I see the star!"
They whispered to one another,
"He is dying."
And he said:
"I am. My age is falling from
me like a garment, and I move
towards the star as a child. And,
oh, my Father, I thank Thee that
it has so often opened to receive
there dear ones who await me !
And the star was shining; and

in'hisr cavern of dirt;
'This is undoubtedly true of
sonie people, as of some animals.
There is a great outcry in London,
as in other large cities, over the
filth and poverty of the poor. But
the Rev. Mr. Parker, of Detroit
does not altogether share in that
opinion. He says that many of
the families whieh are pitied for
havin to live in one filthy* unven-
tilated room, neither ask nor de-
serve pity In fact, they prefer
to live in that way, and would do
so if they had all heaven at their
disposal. "Dirt," he adds, "has
its warm friends, even amongst
people who are not numbered
amongst the outcast poor. I say
this to guard benevolent persons
against the notion that dirt and
are synonymous terms,
to understand that
even some Christians have a won-
derful likeness for anything slov-
enly and slipshod; at least I have
heard women screaming to other
people to hold the fort and ring
the bells of heaven whose stook-
ings would have been better for a
day's darning.
Even if their dirt is an offense
only'in the eyes of others, yet on
account of the sickness and death-
breeding character of filth, some-
thing is due to other people's
rights in having the sources of
disease removed.

His Poker Income.
"Yes," said the Colorado states-
man, looking down on the senate,
"there is Tom Bowen, the best
poker player in Colorado—one of
the best in the world. You see
his cold, changeless face; he's
got a poker face. He always has
got a good poker hand, too. At
least, you think he has. Lots of
nerve. TKey say of him out in
Denver that when he wanted four
jacks once at poker, and had but
three, he quietly dropped his
fourth card and substituted his
photograph. He played it for a
jack, too. I guess that was well
on towards morning. Bowen has
quite a poker income. He's like
Pinchback of Louisiana. I asked
a man about him the other day.
Doin' well,' the man said. 'What's
his income?' I asked. "About
$20,000,' he replied. 'But he on-
ly gets $5,000 as collector of the
port.' 'Yes,' he said, 'but his
poker income is fifteen or twenty
thousand a year. His official in-
come gives him stakes.'
Sbeep and Fertility.
English farmers keep three
sheep on every four acres of their
land. In this country we have
one sheep for every thirty-four
acres. The English wheat crop
averages, in /flKpiiary season, 29
bushels per acre., Ours is a little
less than 12. There may be other
causes for the great difference,
but the greater attention given to
sheep husbandry by English far-
mers is undoubtedly one of the
causes.

How to Keep a Husband.
I oilled on a bride of a few
months early one morning, and
found her pouring the breakfast
coffee for her husband. She was
fairly submerged in the foamy
billows of a sea-green robe, and
on her head was a cap of more
intricate construction than I could*
clearly describe in half a column,
After uhe had kissed her spouse
good-by for the day, and we were
alone, in her boudoir, she threw
off the head-dress, and changed
the elaborate gown for a plain one.
"Goodness me!" I said, "4s it
possible that you achieve such a
careful toilet simply for your
husband ?''
"Safe to bet on it, Clara," was
the reply. "You mean to marry
some time? Well, take my advise.
When you have once taken a hus-
band, keep him. Don't let the
charm of facination be broken
through your own carelessness.'
The greatest danger, don't you
see, is that the sameness of one.
wife, right along, will tire him or
you. Now, you can't affect any
actual changes in yourself. What-
ever novelty of person you pre-
sent must be extraneous. Isn't
that so?"
"I guess it is."

Third division (French's^, Seo^
6hd corps (Sumner's),
wading Antietam creek,
through plowed fields, stub
fields and cornfields, his
was finally located within plain
view of the enemy, when the wel-
come command rang along the
line to "load and fire at will." It
was then that our daily target
practice at Fortress Monroe came
into excellent use, as many a poor
fellow of the Sixth Alabama
learned to his cost. After firing
eleven rounds the writer was
wounded and ordered to the rear.
While retreating . in good order,
but making most excellent time,
his route led him through a por-
tion of the Irish brigade. Here
he saw a sight that capped the
climax of horror. A member of
that devoted brigade was aimless-
ly stumbling around with both
eyes shot out, begging some one
"for the love of God," to put an
end to his misery. A lieutenant
of the Fourth New York was
passing by, and, seeing the poor
fellows condition, and hearing his
appeal, he halted before him and
asked if he really meant what he
said.
"O, yes, comrade," was the re-
ply, "I cannot possibly live, and
my agony is unendurable."
Without another word the offi-
cer drew his pistol, placed it to
the victims right ear, turned
away his head, and pulled the
trigger. A half wheel, a convul-
sive gasp, and one more unfortu-
nate passed over to the silent ma-
jority.
"It was better thus," said the
lieutenant, replacing his pistol
and turning towards the writer,
"for the poor fellow could—"
Just then a solid shot took the
lieutenant's head off, and the
"subsequent proceedings interest-
ed him no more."

Humors About Bangs.
It is rumored that bangs are
surely going out of fashion this
spring, and that the hair will be
worn brushed plainly back from
the forehead. While bangs are
not necesary for women who pos-
sess low, pretty foreheads, they
are an absolute necessity for wo-
men who possess high, ugly fore-
heads. There can be no denying
he fact that when the hair is ar-
ranged prettily and becomingly
over the forehead, it greatly soft-
ens the outlines of the face, and
lends an additional charm to it.
It is all nonsense for people to say
that the most sensible women
wear their hair brushed smoothly
back from their brows. The
most sensible .women are those
who know what is becoming to
them. If they look well with their
hair banged or curled tbey wear it
so; if they do not they fail to fol-
low the prevailing fashion, and
dress their hair plainly. The
Grecian knot has gone entirely out
of fashion except for street wear.
It is almost impossible to wear the
hair on top of one's head with the
fashionable hat of the period.
Very few ornaments are worn in
the hair. Those that are worn are
mostly silver or amber hairpins.
