There was once a child, who strol led about » good deal, and thought of a number of things. He had a sister wtin was a child too, snd was his con stant companion. These two used to wonder all day lonp. They wondered at the beauty of the flowers, they won dered at the depth of the bright water ; they wondered at the goodness and power of God who made the lovely world. They used to say to one another, sometimes, “Supposing all the chil dren on earth were to die, would the flowers,and the water, and the skv, be sorry?” They believed they would be sorry. For said they, the buds are the children of the flowers, and the little playful streams that gambol down the hill—sides are the children of t.ie water ; and the smallest bright specks, playing, at hide and seek in the skv all night, must surely be tine children of the stars and they would all be grieved to see their playmates, the children of men. no more. There was one clear, shining star that used to come out in the sky before the rest, near the church spire, above the graves. It was large and more beautiful, they thought, than all the others, and every night they watched for it, standing hand in hand, atawin* now. Whoever saw it first cried out. And often they cried out both together ; knowing so well when it would rise, and where. So they grew to be such friends with it that before lying down in their beds, they always looked out once again to bid it good night and when they were turning round to sleep, they used to say, “God bless the star!” But while site was still very young oh ! very, very young, the sister droop ed. and came to be so weak that ihe could no longer stand in the window at night ; and then the child looked sadly out by himself, and when he saw the star, turned round and said to the patient, pale face on the bed, 1 see the star f am! then a sweet smile would come upon the face, and then a little, weak voice used to say. “Gml bless my brother and the starl” And so the time came all too soon ! when the child looked out alone, and when there was a little grave among ! the graves not there before, and when the star made long rays down toward him as lie saw it through his tears. Now, these rays were so bright, snd they seemed to make such a shining wav from earth to heaven, that when the child weht to his solitary bed, he dreamed about the star, and dreamed that, lying where he saw a train of people taken up that sparkling road by angels. And the star, Opening, show ed him a great world of light where many more such angels waited to re ceive them. All these angels who were waiting turned their beaming eyes tfpon the people who were carried up into the star : and some came out from the long rows in they stood, and fell upon the people’s necks and kissed tlipm tenderly, and went a\+ay itith them down avenues of light, and wpre so happy in their company that, lying in his bed, he wept for joy. But there were many angels who did not go with themh and among them one he knew. The patient face that once had lain upon the bed was glori fied and radiant but his lieatt found nut his sis'er among -ill the host. His sifter’s angel Irogere'H near the of the star, and said to the leader among those who had brought the people thither : “)s me brother cnm‘e , ’ r And he said, “No.” She was turning hopsfuby away, when the rinid (Wretched out lira arm# and cried : “t>. srster. I am here ’ Take me !” And then s-We turned her beaming 1 yes upon '’i' n r d it was night ; and the star was shining into the loom, making long rays down tow ard brm a* he saw it through his tears. From that hour forth the child look ed out upon the star as the bonfire he should go to #fieri his time should come, and he thought t ut he did oof belong to earth alone, but to fbe star, ton, because of his sister’s angel gone before. | There was a baby born tobe a broth er so the ehrld, find while fie waN so little that he never ye* had spoken a word, he stretched hi's t»ny form out on his bed and died. Again 1 the ehifo rfYea rned of the tfpeft star 1 , and of the compan vof angels, and the tt'tfift of people, and the i*o#s of angels #9 h their beam inf eyes all turn ed upon those people’s faces.

Then tlie roait pig. oranges, bananas, pieces of fresh sugar cane, and other toothsome delicacies prepared for the occasion, would he unloaded from the wagons, and a nice spread, or lay out, would be arranged at each grave or in the nondescript en closures, which, for want of a better name, we call temples. After thp spread had been arranged, rows of liriv porcelain cops would be *et dogrn on the sand and poured full of sam-shori; or other alcoholic or vinous liquor After a few minutes a fire would be kindled, and the baskets full of square varicolored paper would be burned, the eatables would be packed up again, and put bank into the wagons, the liqu or would be turned on the fire or on the ground, and the Joss sticks and candles lighted and left burning.
