The storm clouds are gathering yonder,
While the muttering voice of the thunder,
Is calling its armies to battle;
The wind whistles wild through the branches,
The lgh;ni throws fiery Chances,
And We list to the terrible rattle.
With ewes fun OF awe, and of wonder,
| list to the voice Of the thunder,
And watch the dark clouds hurry by;
And they seem to my spiriI, enchanted,
Like be'nms with dark shadows haucted,
As thcv OIL DER the threatening sky.
Where go they, those weird hosts and endless,
And wherefore their fearful assemblies,
As they tirtless mprch through the air?
Do they plot some dark deed AS they gather
Do they meet in md heaven together,
And whisper of wickednesS there?
Black, black grow the heavens and grander,
While tue voice OF the mighty commander.
Rings wildly through heavens high arch;
We Can hear now the sound of their tramping,
As leaving the ground OF their camping,
The cloud armies haste to the march.
Thus the dark clouds OF sorrow hang Ger us,
The winds are around and before us,
And we almost despair OF the end;
Dark clouds haunt our waking and sleeping,
And our eyelids are heavy with weeping,
And before he weird army we bend
But oh, is it well to be weary,
When the highway before us is dreary,
And the path way is rough to our feet;
Look beyond to the army immortal,
Who watch over heavens high portal,
And the sound of their wings will be sweet.
Forget what the wild winds are crying,
There are those that stand ready, denying
The whisperings cruel and sad
There 10 one who will never forsske you,
Whatever the sorrows o'ertake you,
His love maketh everything glad.

INLAYING-HoW IT Is DoNE-The
process OF inlaving iron work with moth
er Of pearl, by which tue higher priced
sewing machines are ornamented, is an
Illlus' ration of the Improved m thods of
doing work which was formerly the re-
sui of close application and patient labor.
lnlaying is one of the oldest styles cf or
namenting metals. and is now extensively
practiced in precisely the same way that
it was by the Saracens in the time Of the
Crusaders, and by thearmoIers of Europe.
Firearms and d tggers are of en- very
beautlfu! nlain with gold and silver. In
this work the metal to be ornamented is
chiselled to the pattern required, aud the
gold or silver forced into the recess and
secured hy riveting, or d We failing.
But the sewing machine and the articles
or papier mache, which are 81 BEAUTIFUL
ly d. corated with flowers and fruits, com
posed of the iridescent sh' Il Of the pearl
oyster and gliding, are ornamented in
quite q diff, rent manner. Thin scales
of the shell are selected for their
color of shade, ana cemented to the
surface IF the material. The rest of the
surface is covered with successive coats
Of Japan varnish, generally black, being
subject, to a baking process after each
application. When the varnish is as
thick as the shell, it is polished, the
gliding and painting added, and flow
ing coat OF varnlsh put over the whole.
The surface if welI done, is almost us
hard as the metal.

SILVER CHAIN RECITATION.
BY ALICE CARY.

Trne worth Is in being, not seeming
In dong each day that goes by,
Some little good-not in the dreaming
OF great him s to do by and 5y
For whatever men say in blindness,
And spite of the fancies OF youth,
There's nothing so kingIy as kindness,
Aid nothing so royal as truth.
We get back our mete as we measure
We cannot do wrong and feel right,
Nor can We give pain and gain pleasure,
For justice avenges each slight.
The air for the wing OF the sparrow,
The bush Tor the robin and wren,
But always the path that is narrow
And straight for the children of men.
TITS not iE the pages of st. ry
The heart of its ills to 5eguile,
Though he who makes cou lship to glory
Gives all that he hath for the smile
For when from her heights he hath won her
Alas it is only 10 prove
That nothing's SO sacred AS honor,
And nothing so loyal as Lowell
We cannot make bargains for blisses,
Nor catch them like fishes in neis.
And sometime the thing our lite misses,
Helps more than the thing which it gets
For gain lieth not iL pursuing,
Nor gaining OF great nor OF small
But just in the doing. and doing
As we would be done by, is all.
Through envy, through malice, through hating
Against the world. early and late,
No joJ ct our courage abatine-
Our part is TO work aud to walt.
And slight Is the sting OF his trouble
Whose winnings are less than his worth
For he who is honest Is noble,
Whatever his fortunes or birth.

sleep, gently sleep, beloved one,
Companion OF the dead;
Thy tolls, and cares, and pains are done,
Rest, rest thy quiet head.
No more thy husband bends in tears,
To watch thy slow decline;
No more thy friends midst hopes and tears
Eye that pale lace of thine.
The struggle IS DER. the scene Is past
How CAIN thy ctaseless sleep!
To ills that iiie's dark sky o'er"ast,
TLon meier shalt wake TO weep.
And vet l scarce can think thee gone,
Thou child, so loved, so fair!
seem to ste thee sill as wnen
Thou clImb'st tiny fathers chair.
Those sunny locks, that mirthfui smile.
Those soft blue eyes of thine
That music voice in playful vile,
Those lips oft pressed to mine.
Iseem 10 see that form and face,
By ripper years matured
Adorned with every youthful grace,
And mind with knowledge stored.
In prayer see thee by nv side,
In praise hear thy voice
read thy tho aghts, TO heaven allied,
For thine was Mary's choice.
But. ali /! too true, the pang is mine
Thy pains and pangs are DER;
Farewell, my much loved Caroline
On earth we meet no more.
But o, bright heaven sure thou art there
There midst the seraph throng!
An argel's portion thine to share,
Thine more than angels song.
Then when a few more days are fed,
A few more sorrows Ger;
Where farewell tears no more are she'd,
Wen meet TO part no more.

SHERIDAN RoYALY DINED-Apropas
OF general, my mention that state
dinner was given by Victor Emanuel in
the Pitt Palace at Florence on the 18th
inst, in honor of Gen. Sheridan, whose
departure from Rome | chronicled in nv
preceding letter. In a conversation [
had with Gen. Sheridan here, / inquired
OF that distinguished officer wha; i'm
PRECISION he had obtained from his Observ-
atoms of the FraEco.PrusSl m Campaign,
as compared with his own experience IF
the events Of the American war The
general told me that in the first place he
saw very wei that the Germans were
walking over the track" and secondly,
hat he did not find any important ad-
vance, upon the tactics already adopted
by American strategists. But with re-
gard To the national defence of France.
Gen. Sheridan considered that the want
of good cavalry had prevented the
French commanders from lepuIslng tie
invaders, aud he estimated that fl ing
column like his own vigorously directed,
would have cut the Germans all to pieces
and liberated Paris long bef,re now.
