needle and each pair necessary to make
the needle perfect. If only one pair re-
fused to do their part, the whole would
be failure; not needle would be right.
You see it is pains-taking in little things
and in small parts which leads to excel
lence and success. We are apt to slight
bits of work, thinking it is q matter of
no account. But it is not SO. The de-
tails of q plan must be faithfully carried
out i'll order to make the plan success.
If the parts of u work are all we'll done,
the whole will be complete, and only
then.
And it is just SO i'll making and mould
ing character. 1t must be well done in
parts, faithfully finished in bits, in order
to make a complete and beautiful whole.

In the light serene of your kindly eyes,
As tr ae as the sentnel-star that keeps
His crcling tryst in tho boreal skies.
unknown to me is the faith they speak,
And strange the flash of their silent prayer,
And the sacred joy that climbs your cheek
To hang its auttcring signals there.
AS the star-beams light on the tossing brine
And mellow the surge of its wild unrest,
Your eyes intlleir tender pity shine
To light the gloom of my doubling breast.
And hope springs forth at their earnest glcams
AS a flower that grows from the sun-kisscd
sod,
And love their light as beacon that beams
To draw me trus,ingly up to God.
fever stand by the Jasper rca,
Whose bright wnvcr 2ash in their awful
pride,
The mingled strain of my thanks shall be
That yon have lived and that Christ has died.
BY the life-srcam glassing the Eden-howers
will walk with on under sladowlcss skies,
And on forever through amarantli bowers
! will follow the light of your guiding eyes.

A Sea Fight on The Stage.

A French correspondent of the Orchcs-

The wondoi tul ship scene in the Galctc
drama of"La Fills de In Mutt" We are

three long lines of rails are laid down

at the extreme back Of the stage, and is
pushed dewn the rails anl turned to the

representing the ocean, is then laid down,
and the frs row of "wavcs" take their
place. They arc little boys, who, armed
with sc,ai-circular canes, creep under the
canvas, and, pushing their covering,
initiate the movement OF the scn. There
are fifty Of these useful aids in all; the
second row being composed of fullgrown
men Oh their knees, and the last and
most stormy undulntinns Of the main are
formed by the movements Of nuxiliarics
who stand erect. The electric light plays
npon the tops OF the waves, and the brig
appears. 1t soon reaches the middle Of
the scene, where turn.tablc is fixed,
supported by the robust shoulders of
twenty-five men, who, by moving up and
down i'll measure. initiate the rEi;ng and
pitching OF Il ship i'll Il gale Of wind. The
attacking boats now come along the hori-

to force the payment, pleading the Gus

OUR BROKEN S4TINGS BANKS.

We are wearing out a long, hard Winter.
Our City, always overCrOwded, has for months
suffered from the presence of squalid tens OF
thousands who had no work here and no
means, even if they had had inducement, to
take them elsewhere. Winter is here always
a season of suffering for very large class;
but this Winter has been exceptionally hard
upon our poor.
One of its worst phases has been a general
and reasonable distrust of our Savings Banks
Most of these are well managed and impreg-
nable. But a young brood, the outcome of
recent legislation for sinister purposes, began
to give way last FALL and-all of them having
more or less connection with the Tammany
Rinc-the fall of one carried down another
and another, until all lay in ruins. Their
sudden collapse excited natural distrust OF
their solvent and faithful kindred. The great
BODY of the poor cannot be expected
to know that. while this Bank is rotten, that
in the next street is perfectly sound They
hear of the failure of a Savings Bank to-day
and of another tomorrow; they apprehend
that the rest Will soon tumble 50 they rush
TO withdraw their deposits. And, having car
ried them home tOsther narrow, rickety lOdg-
chance. the next impulse with many is to spend
them in sensual qualification, and 50 make sure
that they shall "get the good OF what little
they had saved. Thus our City is to-day far
poorer and more ragged because of the failures
of her mismanaged Savings Banks. The needy
are more destitute, the imprOvdent more
thriftless. because of those failures every
dollar stolen by their mismanagers having
promUted the miSapplication or waste OF two
or three others. And the DernciouS influence
of these crimes il by no means yet exhausted.
We do not know that it is the specific duty
of the Attorney General, of the District Attor-
ney, or OF any other official to prosecute cIilni-
nally the officers of broken Savings Banks, but
il should be. The simple fact Of failure Is pre-
sumptive proof of vilainy. They have no right
to lend the mites of the poor so that they can
be lost. If one says, 4" / trusted others, who
"proved false he admits his own cuipabllity

We have long awaited in waning hope
that explanation if not PREPARATION which Mr.

Savings Bank was bound to give. 1t is not
yet forthcoming. Meantime, his depOsitors

Mr. Smith either to make them whole before
