NO BLACK FOR ME-.
By ALICE ROBBINS.


No black for me, dear love, when am dead
Stroud not that precious face in funeral fold,
But wear soft white veil upon YOUR head,
As fits sanity woman growing old.
No black for me A.; why, when eternal day
Has burst in glory on my daZZled sight,
And Gods own angels bear my soul away
Should my twin spirit bow in woe and night?
There may be tears, hut let them fall, sweet wife,
As feeling one more pilgrim safe at rest;
Ore changed ON dyioR clay TO deathless life,
Whose head has often lain upon your breast.
One roaming mid an Eden's flowers end trees,
Whose weary wasting feet no walks could share
One drinking heavens breath with rapturous ease
Who scarce could breathe blessing or prayer
Let me he carried from my cheerful home
Like sunshine out Of sunshine, flowers from flow
ers;
Let maids in white. and little children come.
And cheer with tender songs your lOnesom
hours.
For you will miss zoe, though some path fror
heaven
May lead straight from my glory to yoUr heart;
And may con e, like jacobs angels, given
So keep the LIGHT about you death IL light,
And hfe, and pOg or. TO pure and chastened love
And death is only dark to doubt, and sight
That has no visions from the world above.
No black for when am gone. dear love,
Stroud not that precious face in funeral fold
But wear q soft white veil upon your head,
AZ fits a saiutly woman growing old.

That New Motor.

The new motor, not only as q fact.
but as q useful ana enormous addition
to the sum-total of human happiness, is,
it is claimed, almost within the limits
of realization. 1t is confidently pre-
dicted that, within thirty days, a train
of Pullman cars will be drawn from
Philadelphia to New York without
steam, electricity, hot air, or any other
motive power. This, indeed, is a sub
stantial promise, the basis of which can
easily and soon be examined. The new
motor, as we took occasion to explain
some weeks ago, was invented, or dis
covered, by John W. Kelley. Since
our first statement sOme new develop
ments have been made. The whole
matter, 1t appears, is in the hands of a
stock company composed chiefly OF
Philadelphia and New York capitalists.
who have paid in S250,C0 and hold
stock to a nominal value of LOCO, COG.
They are perfectly sanguine of the sue
cess of the enterprise, bu- Ere not them
selves in possession OF Keeiey's secret.
There is reason 10 fear therefore, that
possibly the ingenious Kelley may not
be a public benefactor after all and

"Whom He iove:h. He Chasteneth. y

Bya curious law of compensation,
those who seem to be most loved by
the Lord are the ones who receive the
heaviest Affections at His hands. 1t
is paradoxical, perhaps, but certainly
true. Those who have suffered much
and long are often almost sanity In
character. Indeed, as an eloquent
preacher once said, "We can catch
the gleam of halo around their
heads" 1t is not often that grief or
sorrow hardens the heart; but most
wonderful changes have been wrought
IN apparently hopeless cases by the
softening influence of remorseful or
regretful tears. If we mourn the
dead, their best qualities are remem-
bered, and one great love prompts US
to do as they did, in Difference to their
memories. If lighter Affections dis
tress, we think of "the sweet by and
by" with its longed-for rest, its peace
and happiness and exemption from
earthly ills. Now, if we believe in
this at all, We must accept the state
ment that 1t is given as a reward for
the good done here; and our heart
weariness prompts US to earn the re-
ward by performance of the duty. So,
in every way, God makes tribulation a
door to goodness and happiness. 1t is
often hard to see and hard to under
stand, but faith guides the mind to the
final truth, and hope encourages the
heart until We see, and know, and un-
derstand.

Slightly Unpleasant.

Our fair correspondent HELEN,
writing from Aurora, Illinois, gives
the following interesting account of
Winters weather in Fox river valley,
in which valley Aurora is situated:
Cup to the 2lst of December, we
had passable Fall weather, but from
then until the 10th of May it was in
tensely cold. There was forty-two
days of cold, cold, cold. The
ground froze to the depth Of over five
feet. 1t took three days to dig grave
in the cemeteries. and there were many
deaths among children and old peo-
pie. Our river, good sized stream,
froze to the very bottom. The ice
was thirty-four inches thick. 1t was
very dry here last Summer, and the
feed failed sorely. Many of our farm
ers had to begin feeding our hay to
stock before the first of September. In
January, February and March they had
to haul in ice and melt it to get water
for their stock. Not over one-third of
the mills had water, and cisterns froze
SO we could get no water from them
for weeks. The cold hurst the gas
main, and but for the kerosene we
should have had a winter Of parlor
darkness"

Santa Barbara Items.
tFrom the Press, l7.]

Mr.. S. L. Skeels informs us that the
Pacific Wool Growing Company,
whose sheep are pastured on Santa
Cruz Island, have had a large clip OF
wool this year, some three hundred of
the sheep sheared under his superin-
tendence, averaging 80 pounds each,
and two large Spanish marino bucks
shearing 4Oi and Al pounds respectful
ly. The average price of wool will re-
turn an income of six dollars each for
the three hundred sheep, and about
eight dollars for the two large ones.
This makes q good showing for dry
year on the Santa Cruz Island. Our
distant readers will remember that
this Island lies directly across the
channel from Santa Barbara. We did
not learn from Mr.. Skeels the average
per head of the immense flock of
sheep kept on the Island, but we un-
derstand that 1t was large clip
throughout the whole flock.

We looked In at the Santa Barbara
Soap Manufacturing C0mpany's works
yesterday, and were pleased to see that
operations were progressing finely.
Large quantities Of olive, borax and
palm oil soaps have already been made
and cut into bars ready for boxing, and
large tanks full of soap, hardening for
the cutters, were standing about. The
S. B. Soap Company is a live institu-
tion.
An almond 1--WE still insist the crop
Is short, you know eyed damsel, the
sunny hours of whose childhood were
passed away in the fowery kingdom,
made a complaint that one of her
countryman had ruthlessly torn her
from the circle of her friends,
and that he has had unlawful posses
sion of her person. At least, if the
almon-eyed beauty Aforesaid did not
make the complaint, some of her
friends did for her, and the question
whether she has been kidnapped, or
whether she has robbed the accused
pig-tailed cheap laborer of fabulous
sums of valuable personal property
will be tried in Judge Ord's court this
morning at 10 o'clock.

Singing.

1t is good to sing. We all have
voices, and they are meant for use; not
in fretful grumblings nor sharp re-
torts, but as means of praise. Every
true, pure word is tribute to Deity.
Every cheerful, happy song is hymn
Of praise--a pouring out of the hearts
content in gratitude. The birds seem
conscious Of this, and their power in
this respect is almost enviable. Chill
dren love to sing - wordless songs,
perhaps, looking up at the sky In
reverence for what they locate beyond.
And the instincts Of their innocent
hearts are truer than the philosophy
of sages, for God loves the offerings SO
simply sent up.

The Denim. n.Sawtelle Troupe.

Merced Theatre was crowded last
evening to witness the ever-touching
play of Rip Van Wrinkle, In which
Miss Denim and Mr.. Sawtelle aston
ished the audience by their wonderful
acting. The other members of the
troupe ably assisted their principals.
In the roaring burlesque OF Jenny
Lind, the vocal powers Of Miss Denim
sho wed to great advantage, and she
achieved new honors as u versatile ac.
tress. The play sent the audience
home in good humOr, to dream of
Rip Van Wrinkle and the amusing i'm
personation of Jenny Lind. To-mor-
row night the company appear in the
elegant comedy Pygmalion AM Gala
tea, which had such tremendous run
in the East. In this great sensa tiOnal
drama, Miss Denim and Mr.. Sawtelle
will appear to great advantage. The
performance will conclude with the
Rough Diamond. Reserved seats may

From San Fernando.

The tunnel has penetrated to q depth
of two hundred feet on the South side.
On the other side long distance has
been graded, but tunneling has not
been commenced. The work Is in soft
sandstone or sand, and in some places
water has been struck that requires
considerable pumping. The water
seems to be strongly impregnated
with oil, which justifies the most san
guine expectations Of the Oil-meE OF
that vicinity.
