There was.once a child, ond he strolled about
a good deul and thought uf a number of Unrip,
lie had a sister who was a child, too, and 'his
enntant cuinpamon. J hese two used to wander
i. ,', i i ..it . j

bluoiiesa of the sky, tltey wondered at the depth
of the bright water, they wondered ut the good

Wurld.
' They used to say to one another sometimes,
"Supposiii'' all the children upon earth wcro to

bright specks, playing at hi Jc and seek in tho
sky all night, must surely bo tho children of the
ulan, and they would all be grieved to seo their
playmate, the children of men, no more."
'i'liero was one clear shining star, that used to
conic out in tiie sky beforo the rest, near the
o.'nfeh spire, ubavo tho craves. It was larger
and inure beautiful, they thought, than all the
jolliers, and every night they watched for it,
standing 'hand in hand at a window. Whoever
! saw it first, cried out, " I sea tho star!" And
! often they cried out both together, knowing so
1 down ill their beds, they always looKcd out once

out by himself, and when he saw the star, turned
ruuud and said to the patient pale face on tho
bed, " I'scc the star !" and then a smile would
come upjn the face, and a little weak voice used
to say, " iod bbss the star !"
Aiid"so the time came, all too soon ! when the

thouchts. His reflections were more' serious and '
couipassioned than the night previous". Vhat
they were, was known only to himself,, but they
seemed to .result in sunoihing decide 1, for,
about midnight, three distinct raps were made
at his wife's door. No answer,, and thrt signal
was repeated in a louder tone, with violent at
tacks from the outsitio. "Who's there-!'" cried
tho voice of his wife, as if just aroused from a
ideon sleen. "It's me. mv dear, aud perhaps a
little of the best Whig you ever did see." The
revolution in his opinion was radical and perma
nent, lie removed, to auother county, became
popular, and offered himself as a candidate on
tho, Whig ticket for the Legislature, .and was
elected, and for several sessions represented his
adopted county as a firm and decided Whig.
'CONSIDER Me Smith. There is a very good
story iu the papers of the day, which was played
by old 'Dr. Caldwellr.formerly of the University
'of North Carolina. " -

as hard .and angular as the most incgulafof pine.

ho did not seem strong. Nevertheless lie was,
among the knowing ones, reputed to be. as agile
as a ",cat,"and in addition was hx no. means de
ficient in knowledge of the " noble sjiouee o.' sctf
defenee." Besides he was as eool as a cucumber.
