BY CHARLES MCKENS. . There was. onset a. c^ild, -and i strolled about a good deal, and thoug of a. nnmibsex,..of things, A, ha<f j'sister, wnp. Vas a childi,, fo^?pd constant, companion. These two ,bx wpu?jfi* ?*tf day long. Th?y * won 'dered ai the bean ty "Of flowers ; wondered at the goodness and pow of X3od> who/.madetheloxely world . They used'to. say' ito. one 8jpme^n)jBst); rt. Supposing aj? ^e chil clren'bn'the earth wer* to'die, the flowers; and the water, and sky be norry ?" They believ?d thpy would be sorry. " tor," said, they " tie b?ds^'ar?, t?e V^dieri of tir? flowers', info! the playful Tittie streanlf that gambol down th? hillsides the children of waters; and the smallest bright specks playing hid? ?nd.-seek in. th? s?'t all pije must surely be the children of .'the sjtars; and they1'would-be grieved tc see their playmates, the children m en,., no more.'' -There waa a ?t ar that used to come on the sky before; the rest, near the ehu?cli, sjpre, aboye the graves,. ? Was larger and more' beautiful' they thought'than all the others, and eve ry niglit they, watefced for it, standing band oy the window ; 'Whoever saw it first cried out':' " ' " I see- the star-1" Ar; d often they cried out together., knowing sewell when it would rise and .where: . So they ?row. to-be audi Mends with it that-before lying.down in theirvbeds they looked cut once again to hifHt' good-nig^t'-; -?nd when they were turning around to sleep they, said " God bless that star !" But while she was still very young oh, veryyoung, th? sister :qroojped> and carno tb be so -weale ''that she could- no longer stand in the window at eight, and then the child looked sadly- by himself, and when he 'saw the star, turned round tb the patient pale faoe on the bed, and said- " 1 see the star !" and then a smile would come upon her face, and the weak little voice used to say " God bless my brother and the star!" And so tho time'came all too sopn when there was no face on the bed and there was a little grave u?iong the graves not lhere beforehand when the'star made long rays towards him who saw it through his te?rs. Now, these r ys wer? sb bright, and they seemed to makesuch-a beau tiful'way from earth to heaven, that when the child went to his solitary bed, he dreamed of the star; and dreamed ?hat lying wherje ne was, he sa"/ a train of people taken up the shining road by angels. And the star opening, snowed him a great world'pf light, where' manymore'such angels waited to receive them. All the angels who were waiting turned their beaming ev es .upon the people who were carried up into the star; and soon came out from the lopg rows in which J>hey Btood, and fell upon the people specks and kiss ed them tenderly, aim went away With them down avenues of light, and were so happy in their company, that lying in bed he wept for joy. . H is sister's angel lingered near the eptranc? of th.e star, apd said to. ihe lead?r among those whohad brought the people thither v ( .I Has nay brother come ?". She w?s' tipping hopefully away, when the^hild stretched out his arms, and' said-" 0, sister,' P am here 1- take me !" and then- she turn ed her beaming ?yes upon him, .aid then-it was night, and the 'star was? shining.into his room, making rays down toward him as he saw them through his-tears. from that moment tja child look ed out upon the slav as opp of the homes he was to go to; when the time should.come, and he thought he did not belong f p earth alone, put to 'the star, too, because of his sister's angel gone before. There was a baby born to be a brother of the child: ancl while he was yet sp little that he had never spoken a word? he stretched his tiny form out upon>the bed, and died,. Again the child dreamed af the open star,- apd thecoinpany of angels,' and the train-of people's faceB. Said his sister's angel to the leader : " Pas my brother come'?" And he said : '? Not that one, but another." As the child beheld' hia brother's angel in her arms, he pried : Q sister, I am here ! toke me 1" v And she turned and smiled upon him, and the star waa shining. ' ge grew to be a yoppg man, and was busy with his* books, when an old servant came to him, and said : " Thy mother is no more! I bring her blessing on her darling son." Again thai Right' he saw the star, and that former company. Said his sister's ?ngel id the leader : V ?as my brother :come ?" And.-ne answered : .?.'Thy mother." A mighty cry of joy" weut '.forth through ali' the' stpra,. be???se ph.? mother was united with her. two cnilv dren.. And h? stretched out his arms ?nA!-i?ri?d ? ' ".^O-.^otlier, sit? and . brother, I ' tiM^h}^ me !" . He grew to be a man - whose ha was turning .gray, anfl. was,sitting| I ;the firesid? heavy wit?-grief, and wr his face bedewed with tears, wh< the star opened onc? ac^in. ?Said his sister's angel to the lead ei . " Has my brother come ?" And.he said :, " N?yv but hjis' maiden daughter ? nd the man who had*. been'a chiL saw'his daughter newly" lost tb bk ? celestial cr?ature among those th re -abd said, " My daughter's head isupoh m Brother's bosom, andher arm is aroun 'her neck, and at, her feet is the Uh 6f old time, and I can bear fha pari ing from her. 'God be praisefl.' " &tv th? star was shining.. And the child ?ame to ba an oL .man, and his back was bent.

The fly must have had a very weak constitution, ,for ivhea I served the, soup it was dancing merrily Upon the ' surface. Perhaps, . ard" the idea pre sents itself only at this moment, it endeavored to swallov feop large a piece td vegetable ; tais, remaining last.in the throat, caused a choking in the" windpipe. This is the only reason 1 could give for the death of that insect." An Arkansas Letter. . DOVER, October 1872. MY PEAR BOY : The double-barrel that you sent came safely to hand, and I was. only shot at once while-1 was carrying it home. Bill Silvers popped at me from behind the lenee as I was passing his house, but I had loaded the two-shooter as aeon as I got it, and he didn't jump \rp from behind that fence but once. . I am glad that one of the barrels is- a"rifle,-as ? need it for logg rance practice.. The other I can fill with buckshot; and canri'ldlea man nice ly at close quarters. I mea:: io.try, both barrels on those Jetts when I meet them. You see, old .man Jett stole a mule from us in the war, and, when it was oyer pap laid for him and hilled him... fheKNigeer/ Tom vfett.aa, we cabled- j|iim^t$i{*. black face*! one-he laid for pap aQ^ plu{?' ged him- Then I picked a fuss with: Tom, and cut him into giblets, and since that time his brother 3am has been laying for me. I know, it is his turn, but I think my doable ? bt?el' will prove too much for him. If you want to see fun come down for a wbile'und bring a rifle. It 'don't make any difference which side you belong to, and it isn't even, nee* eBtiary to join the injlitia. It is easy to get up a grudge against somebody, and all you have to do is to fay for your man and knock him over. Be hind my pig pen is one of the sweet est hiding places I know of, and lt is ap handy ! A good many people come within range ih. tho course of a week, and a man can ' pass his time right pleasantly. > ' . . I wish you would send me a cata logue of Sunday School books, with the prices, if there are any in St.. Louas. If we can get them on time we will take a! big lot of books? I am Superintendent of: the Baptist. Sunday dchool now, and am running it under a full head of steam. Old man Byers, who was turned out, is right mad about it, and sweats that he will chaw "me up; but h? will ch?w lead if he dont keep clear \ of me, My wife wants to know if y ou can't send her; ? set of teeth without her getting measured for them.

Your friend and pard, -. , P.S.-That.Bneaky? ornery ouss, Sam Jett-, crept up last night and fir ed, at me through the window, but he ' didn't nippen to kill anybody except a nigger girl. I mean to go for him, though, to-day, and will 1 be glad of a chance to try the double barrel. * i -h. psr- " Fred/' said * father to his son,' " I hear that you and your wife quarrel and wrangle every day \ let me wari) you against such'a tata! practice."
