Above 4,000 stars were passed in review by him, and classified according to the varying qualities of their light. Moreover, it is scarcely doubtful that these spectral distinctions correspond to differences in physical condition of a marked kind. The first order comprises more than half the visible and probably an overwhelming proportion of the faintest stars.
It shall cut any stranger that would come between your heart and mine. Longuant, I have a wife. She is fair, and stars shine in her eyes. She has loved a daughter of your people. I cannot hide in your lodge, a man who carries a sword must use it, but will you take my wife and keep her? Will you keep her with Singing Arrow for a few days?" Longuant thought a moment.
Along her path poetry shed no flowers, nor were her lonely steps towards the distant shrine at which her pilgrimage found its rest lighted by the mystic lamp of science, or guided by the thousand stars which are never dim in the heavens for those favoured eyes from which genius and fancy have removed many of the films of clay.
"I like the darkness of a summer night," said Hugh; "how bright the stars are!" "We do not know where heaven is," said Aunt Faith, "but it is a natural thought that our loved and lost are 'beyond the stars. We too shall go there some day. How beautiful and happy our life will be, there! How precious the certainty of our hope!" "That is what Mr. Leslie said to-day," said Bessie.

With the powerful instruments which are now in use for photographing the sky, the number of stars brought to light must rise into the hundreds of millions, and the greater part of these belong to the Milky Way. The smaller the stars we count, the greater their comparative number in the region of the Milky Way.
And his tail drew a third part of the stars of heaven, and cast them on the earth: and the dragon placed himself before the woman who was ready to be delivered, that when she should bring forth, he might devour her babe. And she brought forth a male child, who should rule the nations with an iron sceptre: and her infant was caught up to God, and his throne.
Thus this name, placed in the calendar, is become the imperishable record of a great man; it is an immortal epitaph on Time's highway, engraved by the admiration of man.

He was soon sound asleep, and remained so until Osgod touched him. He sat up in a moment. "By the stars it is past midnight, my lord, and it is time for us to relieve Beorn's party." The men were at once called to their feet, and the relief effected.
