sit weary and faint in the lessening light;
The day, SO full freighted with duties, has past,
Aud left me no courage or sweetness at last;
The burdens were heavy, my hand was TOO
slight;
Sing to me, darling, o darling, tonight!
Play for me, darling, o darling tonight!
Touch the white keys with your fingers OF
light,
Waken the melodies only your hand
Can make for my heart In its pleading demand;
Dreams half divine at your touch will unite;
Play for me, darling, o darling, tonight!
Talk to me, darling, o darling, tonight
For your words fall softly as dreams OF de-
light;
Tell me Of love that never shall cease;
Tell me of calm, of refuge, Of peace;
Tell me your visions Of love and OF Light.
Talk to me, darling, o darling, tonight!
Pray for me, darling, o darling, tonight!
For the world grows dark with the fading
light;
The night wind is chill, the rain clouds are
The stars have grown weary their watches Of
keeping,
My spirit to you is fast winging its flight;

LABOR IN NEW YORK.

An unsettled state Of things prevails
IN many branches Of labor in New York
City. Nearly all the Cuban oigar-mak-
ers are ON . strike. The employers say
that the failure OF last years crop and
the consequent high price Of the leaf
render their business precarious and
xhey are unable to pay former prices to
eigar-makers. The advance In Cuban
leaf ID estimated to make difference OF
80 per thousaind in the cost OF cigars,
and they proposed to divide it in the pro-
portion Of $4 to the employer, "a to the con.
sumer and 50 reduction to the workmen.
Fhe makers did not accede to this. They
very properly considered that the de-
crease Of work in consequence Of the di-
HRinished supply OF the leaf was all the
loss they should suffer.
4 indeed, the scarcer an article is, the
higher the profits, as Q general thing;
and no doubt the advance In the Leaf
was made mere pretext for getting
down wages. The Cubans excel all 9th.

Tvr *ftr-fifth annual session Of ~ ~, =
Mormon Conference closed at Utah last
Sunday after a weeks session. The no.
table thing said and done was furious
condemnation of free schools. Brigham
Young said that those who clamor for
free schools were penniless people, and
he would not give one dollar to educate
another mans child. He ridiculed the
learning Of the world, and said that the
results Of free schools might be seen in
iaIls. penitentiaries and dens of in.
fanny. Brigham's indignation al
dens of infamy is refreshing. OF course
an old deluded ignoramus like himself
would very naturally denounce the learn
ing Of the world. He was reelected
Prophet, Seer. Revelator and President
of the Church. The other orators of the
Conference also opposed the free school
system. The question came up as a re-
sponse to the vote for school tax that
had been carried by the Gentlles and
some Of the Normons. The Scandinavia
Ems are very bitter against this action o.
the Conference.

piled that as getter-up Of jobs for

called pedur ndtiondIes. By some the
fine quality OF these skins is attributed
to q peculiar virtue in the wild vines
upon which the young ones feed in the
pasturage which they frequent; this,
however, Is a popular error, as their
value is simply the result Of the care
with which the little animals are reared
during their life of four or five weeks.
They are not allowed to roam at large,
as such license would imperil the
evenness of their skins, which would be-
come scratched by rubbing against

milk, as eating grass would tend to rem
der their skins coarse. Consequently
they are kept under q wicket-coOp, from
which at regular hours they are led to
suckle the mother. and this continues
until they are killed, at the end of four
or five weeks. The younger they are
killed the thinner the skin, but Of course,
the smaller they are the less valuable,
too, especially when they are only large
enough to allow Of single-buttoned
gloves, while the demand is all tor two
three or four-buttoned gloves. BY rear
ing the kinds in the manner just de-
scribed, large skins are obtained, which
are as fine and delicate as those ol
younger ones of other coun tries where
they roam at liberty. As France pro
duces the best skins, so Paris excels al
