demned fog your patriotism. and tormented
for your benefactions to have your conf
dence abused, your integrity derided. and to
suffer thousand impositions in smaller
matters, from those from whom you had .
right to expect better things. Those are
hard things TO bear. say you. They are SO.

When the world il cold and dark.

And to reach the glittering prize,

From the hand of fate I

MANUFACTURE OF Plate GLAss.-Some
of the most beautiful specimens of plate
glass are now manufactured in this country.
The ingredients of which it is composed
are sand, soda. lime, manganese. and cobalt.
in proportions varying with every maker.
These are melted with great care, the work
men watching that no air bubbles are intro
duced in string it, and finally .sthe clear
part, after being skinned, is poured off in
to mother crucible, and then again heated
to the proper consistency. When thus
ready for casting. the table. which is the
surface upon which the glass is to beirolled.
is warmed by steam, and then with crane
stage for the purpose the crucible is brought
over it, and the glass poured upon the stage,
followed directly by metal cylinder, which
spreads the glass out to the proper shape,
being regulated by q metal rib at the sides.
Twenty men or more are required for this
operation, when large cylinder is cast,
and the air in the room is kept warm and
free from currents. When the plate is an
nesled. it is ground and polished. as it is by
no means smooth. To grind it. the plate
is cemen.ed to large board by means Of
plaster of Paris. and then i: is ground by
rubbing it, with the aid Of machinery.
against similar plate of glass. with lay
or Of sand ami water between them. The
polishing is effected by rubbing the plates
with cushions or rubbers covered with Pc
culisr kind of power wetted.

A writer in The Boston Post. has tho
following pithy communication in regard to
the bearded:
/ have seen it stated somewhere that there
is an intimate connection between the
nerves and muscles of the face and eyes,
and allowing the beard to grow Strengthens
the eye. 1t is said that surgeons in the
French army have proved by experiment in
Africa, that soldiers wearing the beard are
much less liable to diseases Of the eye. and
it is generally conceded that it is a protec-
ton from diseases of the throat and lungs.
It is asserted that in countries where it is
the custom to wear the beard, the eye re-
tains its lustre and brilliancy much longer.
1t may be argued that females do not suffer
more than males from diseases of the eyes.
DC. but it must be admitted they are much
less exposed to the elements. What did
the Creator give the lords of creation q
beard for? Certainly not to SUI pport bar
bers. There is just as much sense in shaw
ing the head as the chin"

Still to our distant home in soul belonging,
Herfreest Vanguard with her flag unfurled
We stand to day, while German ranks arc throng-
In one rejoicing circle round the world.
one noble chain OF spirit links, unbroken,
That stretches from far Seckars verdant strand,
Where a poor heart remains as loving token Z
Can heart to heart unite, and land to land -
oh humble hearth yet proudly
Shall honors thee adorn,
While ages echo loudly,
Here was our Schiller born
This very day thy blazing
hundred years ago,
First met his clear eyes, gazing
Upen our world below.
Ewes which through fairest seeming.
Still sought the nobest height;
And mid subimest dreaming,
Looked UP to Gods true light.
He read the world S great story.
The hearts too, sad and long,
And wove in radient glory
Each to immortal songi
AS from a cup o'erhowing
His burning light and flame,
In every soul were glowing
When-utter darkness came.
Like to some sudden tempest one hour found him
Rise on the German heavens in power and pride !;
The people and the youth who shouted round him,
Watched how for him fame's portals opened wioe
He the Priest of Freedom and Mankind
Still onward to some nobler height aspiring,
That fragile form holding mighty mind.
He came a true and noble comrade near him;
Goethe with him in Thoughts earnest fight,
And wifi, and chldren's love there to cheer him.
When death arose and 10 he sank in Night.
In Night? All no! Hail to our Dead still living !
Halt thus he spake. And death shall vainly try
To dim the light his spirit still is giving
Hail Schiller, hail! The dead who cannot die
Still from his Tomb arises
A voice both clear and bold,
Which still our country prizes
As the true guide of old.
Three times generation, :.
Upon his words have fed,
And twice the armed Nation
By him been onward led.
He cheers all earnest daring
OF noble sword voice.
And even our long ocean journey sharing.
Lives with in the Country of our choice.
To-day, anew here born for meet him,
Aud scatter festive hOnors on his way;
Open thy gates, America, and greet him
He is thy Citizen to-day
Ring out, oh songl silent we bow, confessing
He comes II Conqueror to his Future land:
A share in its bright future hour possessing,
Since he shall help TO build it with his hand.
After hundred years; this day which found Us
Building wreaths Of laurel now,
Shall the children OF the children 'IosBd az,
