She f (Smtr. When the Stars are in the Skies. When stars are in the quiet skies, Then most I pine for thee; Bend on me then thy tender eyes, As stars look on the seas. Tho’ghts, like waves that glide by night, Aire stillest when they shine; Mine earthly love lies hushed in light Beneath the heaven of thine. There is an hour when angels keep Familiar watch o'er men, When coarser souls are wrapp'd in sleep Sweet spirit, meet me then; There is an hour when holy dreams Through slumber fairest glide; And in that mystic hour it seems Thou shouldst be by my side. My thoughts of thee too sacred.are For daylight's common beam; I can but know thee as my star. My angel and my dream! When stars are in the quiet skies, Then most I pine for thee; Bend on me then thy tender eyes, As stars look on the seas.

Wit, How to ‘‘turn people’s heads”— Go late to church. The Central Park at New York is called the Suicide’s Paradise. . If you visit a young woman, and you ate won, and she is won, you will both be one. Henry Ward Beecher says that if we want to manage men we must do as bee-keepers do when they want to manage bees, wash our hands in sugar and water. “G. is so very close,” it was ob • served, “he will squabble about a single farthing” “Well,” remarked W., “I have always thought that the less one squabbles about the better.” An enthusiastic traveler at one of the choice seaside retreats down East says, “We drink in aft atmosphere so intoxicating that it ought to come under the restrictions of the Maine Law ; Said Lord John Russel to Mr. H line, at asocial dinner: “What do you consider the object of legislation ?” “The greatest good to the greatest number." “What do yo i consider the greatest num her?” continued his lordship. “Nirnber one," was the common ser’s prompt reply.

A young man of limited intelligence. who was recovering from a long fit of sickness, being told by his physician tin t he “might now venture on a little aniipal food,” exclaimed: “No you don’t, doctor; I’ve sii*fere.l enough on your gruel and stuff, and hang"me if I touch any of your hay and oats.” Beecher says that men confess everything, but their own besetting sins. They steer dear of these Whoever heard a man say, “O Lord! I am as proud as Lucifer: humble me"—or "O Lord! I am so mean and stingy that ’tis only with great pain that I can unclose my fist; make me generous.” A gentleman who had amassed a competence was recently asked by a friend the secret of his success. “I have accunrilated,” said he, “one half of my property by strictly attending to my own business, and thejeinainder by letting other peopw«ralone.” A gentleman called to see a lady, and was told that she was out, although he saw the lady’s head reflected in a mirror | laced opposite to the open door. One hour after he met the lady at the house of a friend, and observed : “I called nt your house just now. but did not have the pleasure of seeing you.” “I nni very sorry, but I had to go out in great was the reply. “In such great haste, madam, that 1 sup|M>se you left your heal behin I you, as I saw it it the glass.” “It is very poss.ble, for I am so absent.” -

A Western Justice ordered a witness to "come up and be sworn.” He was informe I that the person was deaf a id dumb. “1 don't care,” said the Judge passionately, whether he is or not Here i« the Constitution of the United States before me. It guarantees to every man the right of speech; and so long as I have the honor of a seat on this bench it shall not be violated or invaded. What the Constitution guarantees to a man I'm bound he shall have.”

A Michigan constable, from whose custody a prisoner had escaped with only a slyrt on, while in search of the convict, was told by one of his neighliors that there ha 1 appeared at the house of the latter, fluring the night, an individual who was stark naked and who refused to give any account of himself. The neighlior further said that the stranger was still in his house, and might yet be taken. The constable flew around, got his handcuffs, and rode up to the resilience ot his informant, to find that the ladv nt the h <use had given birth, during the night, to a very fine baby. f
