The Toast for Labor.


Here's to the man with horny hand,
Who tugs with the breathing bellows;
Where anvls ring in every land,
He's loved by all good fellows.
And here's to him who goes afield, t
And through the glebe is plowing,.
Or with stout arm the axe doth WELD,
While ancient oaks are bowling.
l- Here's to the deliver in the mine,
BAL The sailor on the ocean,
With those of early craft and line,
Who work with pure devotion.
10 Our love for her who tolls in gloom,
Where cranks and wheels are clanking;
Bereft is she of natures bloom,
Yet God in patience thanking.
A curse for him who sneers at toll,
And shuns his share of labor, b..
The knaye but robs his native soil,
While leaning on his neighbor.
p Here may this truth be brought on earth,
Grow more and more in favor; a
There is no wealth but owes its worth
To handlCraft and labor.
Then pledge the founders of our wealth.
SEED The builders OF our Nation; f-. s..
We know their worth, and now their health
Drink we with reclamation.

He exhibits at times . rars felicity of
language. His words generally como
slowly, but they arc to the point and when
analysed, his speech often proves eloquent.
His dispatches really abound In tesc, sig.

uttered by the head Of the army, became
tho watchword Of party.
His famous letter to Andrew johnson on
tho removal of Sheridan, Is alive with
carncstncss; and his remarks to President
Lincoln, upon receiving command o. tho
armies, are model of chaste and manly
eloqucnce.
"Mr. President: accept tho commits

that have fought on so many fields for our

At Galena, when his election was an

truth Is, that few men who call them

ICore.poudepce cf the San Francisco Bulletin
After few days of very quiet life In
Halaia began to look with no little curl
osity towards low peninsula to the west
ward on the north coast of Molokai. Iii,
the home of the lepers. A swift and for.
tunatcly smooth sail under the shadow ol
stupcndous cliffs, that make beautiful and
terrible this side of the island, brought
one safely to the shore; there, watching
its chance. the canoe plunged In upon the
beach over the breakers that render land
Ing in this neighborhood very unsafe and
often impossible.
The peninsula, perhaps three miles
broad, spreading u couple OF miles into
the lea, is so completely isolated that You
could hardly imagine more appropriate
and secure retreat for the victims of lep-
rosy. A rough sea breaks continually
upon u wild, forbidding coast. AT the
back an almost perpendicular wall towers
to the height of 5000 feet. There is but
one avenue of approach by land-a mar
row zigzag trail cut in the face of this
wall, dropping painfully into the plain be-
low, no doubt filling the breast Of the un-
happy leper, who Is conducted hither by
an nfi,csr with sickness and horror, rs he
feels that now indeed he Is banished out

What is Enameling2

The cnamcling Of female faces and busts
is now a branch Of masculine business,
and Is quite lucrative. A chiropadist ON
Broadway devotes q good deal Of time and
attention to this line OF trade, while man
called Sausson initiates his example. Tho
process Of this enameling Is somewhat
curious. The belle who would enameling
go Is first examined with q microscope.
and any rough hairs or fnzz which exists
upon the cheeks or busts Is at once re-
moved with liniment, or plaster. mcdica-
ted soap, or scissors or tweezers even.-
Being thus prepared. the cheeks or busts
are coated with fine enamel which Is
composed Of arsenic, or white lead, or
other ingredients made into semi-pastc,
and pleasantly scented. An ordinary coat
Ing of enamel will endure for day or
two; but to render the operation Of any
permanent effect, the coating process has
TO be repcatsd twice week for varying
periods, according to circumstances, and
the circumstances of It's owner. The pom
cling of the eyebrows, so ms to render
the contrast between them and the white
ned face more striking. Is sometimes inclu-
dcd in thc cnamelng process; while the
eyebrow Is also trimmed or shavcn. just
rs the noustache of man.
II costs great deal Of money 10 bc well
enamclcd. The prices Of enameling vary.
but the average pricc.list Of the various
stages is about rs follows: For enamcling
the face to last once or twice. from $40 To
sl5; for cnnmeling face and bust tempo
rarily. from si5 to $50; for enameling TO
endure one or two weeks, from si5 to $25;
for cnameling the face and bust, TO last
about the same period, from s25 10 s35;
for permanently 0his is for six months)
keeping the face In well cnamelcd con-
dition. from $500 to $3.50; and for keeping
the face and bust both In the pleasing state.
from siO0 To s6O0. So that from its very
cost alone cnamcling should become FASH
ionablc. u.f 'Hp
A married belle Of Fif,h Avenue hotel,
two married bellies Of the Metropolitan
hotel, well-known actress, and three or
four prominent young ladies Of Madison
avenue, are. at the present date. the most
cnanclcd Of the darlings OF society; but
tho fashion is extending. In due time en-
amcling will bc cheapcned; and at last,
doubtless. there will be ennmclists not only
ON broadway, but on the Bowery.
