From the nuns wan life buried passion
Blossomed like grave-rose in her tace;
Sweet my child )" she said, Sin what fair fashion
Do you mean to wear that lovely lace?"
'eThus"-and with teverish hand and shaken,
Round her head the precious veil she wound,
Gath in man" she said, 81 have forsaken;
Faith in God most surely have found
''Y ct, with music in the dewy distance
And the whole land flowing at nv teet
Though this convent garments dark resistance
Backward can hear my fierce heart beat.
"Tropic eyes too full of light and languor,
Northern soul too gray with Northern FROST
Ashes ashes after fires of anger
Love and beauty-what world lostT
"Sister," laughed the girl with girlish laughter,
"Sister, Go you envy me my veil?"
"YOa may come to ask for mine hereafter"
Answered very piteous lips and pale.
"No; for your black cross is heavy bearing;
Tedious counting these stone beads must be.
Oh, but there are jewels worth the wearing
Waiting in the sunny world tor me!
"Sister, have a care-you are forgetting.
D. not broiler thorns among my flowers,
Only buds aud leaves; your tears are wetting
All my bridal lace" They fell in showers
After years aid years, beside the grating,
ooh, that sa idest sight, young hair grown grayD
With dry borghs and empty winds awaiting
At the cloister door, came one to pray.
"Sister, see my brde-veill there were never
1horns so sharp s those within it's lace;
Sister, give me yours to wear forever;
Give me yours, and let me hide my face"

The inventor of this Engine had in view. in its
construction, the great need that exists tor perfect

Of light mechanical work and that should also COM
Hne all that is good in Steam Engineering.
The first point was, to secure a perfectly philo-

most perfect combustion, and to take up the greatest
Dossibte amount OF heat in generating steam
The second point was, to make a perfect cutoff
Engine, working steam eXpansively, and keeping up
the temperature OF the c Under to prevent loss by
radiation or condensation.
The third point to combine and make the
whole mechanically and scientifically correct ma

these particulars much care has been taken as in

ray OF the i'ubiIr Men,

From the Chicago Tribune.
Mr.. Dawes Of Masachuiscits, Chairman of
the House Committee nn Waya and Means it Is
Tuinored IN Washington, has aiguiled his lnlen-
tiou to iaiire from public lie al the close of his
present term. Mr.. DIVES has been a hard and
Intelligent worker IN the public service, and
therefore, this resolution Of his, IT resolution il

sonal Interests impera,iyely demlul it. Senators
and Representatives, like every one elar, must
look after their bread aud butter not only f.r
the present but also for the future.
may be very desirable for the country To re-
tain the services OF an individual Representative
OF Senator but it does not follow that therefore
every Congressman should receive princcly
salary for his services. The fact is that our
Representatives receive n salary equivalent to
$4,000 per annum. The actual sum paid them
is only 10000, but they are engaged in the service
of the country during only half the year. Many
of them are lawyers, and continue their practice
while in Congress. Comparatively lew are pre-
cluded from trinsacting their regular bnsne4s,
whatever il may be. Five thousand and dollars
are, we take it, ample remuneration for the labor
performed by the average Congressman-aa
much as he would make in any position out Of
Congress. No one forces him into the legisa-
i've halls oil the country. No one holds HIM
there. If he finds that lie is beggaring himself
by staying there, he is free to leave. The effect
Of increasing the salaries Of Congressman, in
rtead Of producing good, might be productive OF
much evil. Make the salary large enough, and
il will become IN object more than the place,
and, instead OF calling forth competent men 10
look for the position, in all probability it would
call out 4 host Of adventures who are already
sufficiently numerous in our Congressional halls.
Congress Is u place where laws, not fortunes,
should be made SO far ~ PENSIONS GO the same
objections apply as 10 inctease VI salaries. Pen
sons, except perhaps to the wlduws ol soldiers
killed in the service OF their country, or TO men
who are disabled in the service, are not in har-

introduction would have a bad ttieet on our pol
tics managed As they now are. Hence, wnllt
