WHEN THE MIsTs HAVE CLEARED
AWAY.

When the mists have rolled in splendor
From the beauty of the hills,
And the sunshine, warm and tender,
Falls in kisses on the rills,
We may read Loves shining letter
In the rainbow of the spray;
We shall know each other better
When the mists have cleared away.
We shall know as we are known,
Never more to walk alone,
In the dawning of the morning,
When the mists have cleared away
If we err in human blindness,
And forget that we are dust,
If we miss the law of kindness,
When we struggle to be just,
Snowy winds OF peace shall cover
All the pains that cloud our day,
When the weary watch is over,
And the mists have cleared away.
We shall know as we are known,
Never more to walk alone,
In the dawning of the morning,
When the mists have cleared away.
When the silvery mists have veiled us
From the faces of our own,
Oft we dream their love has failed us,
And we tread our path alone;
We should see them near and truly,
We would trust them day by day,
Neither love or blame unduly,
If the mists have cleared away.
We shall know as we are known,
Never more to walk alone,
In the dawning of the morning,
When the mists have cleared away.
| When the mists have risen above us,
AS our Father knows His own,
Face to face with those that love us,
| We shall know as we are known;
Love beyond the orient meadows
Floats the golden fringe of day;
Heart to heart we hide the shadows,
Till the mists have cleared away.
We shall know as we are known,
| Never more to walk alone
When the day of light is dawning,
| And the mists have cleared away.

WASHINGTON, D. e., Sept q, 1877.
EDITOR CHEF:
The main topic of interest here is
the fire at the Patent Office, or Inte-
rior Department. To achieve an in
telligent understanding of the extent
of the disaster and enable one to ap-
proximate the direct losses involved
ir should be remembered that the eu-
tire attic, which was covered in by a
roof composed of white pine timber
and boards, overlaid by high copper
sheathing, was filled with the records
of the Department in manuscript and
print, drawings and old rejected
models, the most of them wood and
as dry as tinder. 1t was separated
from the third story by a wooden
floor. The third story was divided
into four halls, extending the whole
length of the respective North, South,
East and West fronts, communicating
with each other by wide arches, and
each filled with thousands of models
in glass cases. The floor of these
halls were fire proof and the fire, con-
sequently, was confined to the upper
story and attic, extending from the
Southwest to the Northwest corner,
burning every thing that could ignite
throughout this distance, just one
half the entire circuit of the building.
1t has been ascertained that fully a
half-hour was lost by employees in
attempting to extinguisb the fire be-
fore the alarm was struck for help.
Four engines arrived about the same
time and before the alarm had ceased
sounding. The hook and ladder COM
pany had damaged their apparatus al
fire Saturday night, and the repairs
were not completed hence an old
wagon with hooks and ladders thai
had been discarded as unserviceable
was the only one that could bt
brought into service. The authorities
and firemen of Alexandria and Balti
more promptly responded to the cal
for aid, To the presence of the fire
men from abroad and the fortunate
lack of wind, we are probably in
, debted for exemption from cOnha
grafton that might have carried ou
losses away up into the millions. Th
baltimore companies arrived just il
time to cope with the fire at Gheel

horse bank any how, and he doesn't
see any sense in making such fuss
about it-like the worthy Mr.. Broad
head of the Clairmont Bank.
1t seems like old times, when man
buys good Wamsutta and linen shirt
ready made for dollar, and calico
wrapper for his wife for another dol
lar, and a pair of button boots for his
six-year old for another dollar still.
There are plenty of six dollar yard
goods for fine ladies, but the prices
are low enough where they should be,
on cheap things such as ordinary peo-
pie want, and often wish that read
ers who live where prices take profits
off the big harvest, could benefit by
the cheap eonveniences of city life.
The grape yield is enormous, and
fine Concord grapes are selling daily
in the streets for FIVE cents pound.
Potatoes are fifty cents q bushel,
coal three..dollars a ton, and if flour
and beef fall, as they must soon, it
will not take large wages to feed
and keep family in New York next
winter.
The fall hats out are q style like
the masculine helmet hat in gray felt,
with scarf of dark moss plush,
.hick in its pile as the tufted wood
MOSES that wrap themselves about
an old trunk. A twist Of the scarf
about the crown, and q silvered
birds wing. added, and the simple
trimming is complete. For early fall,
black chips aud straws are shown OF
reversed gypsy shape, that is, coming
close on the forehead, with full trim
ming of satin loops and roses behind,
filing the upturned brim. The bright
geranium red is largely seen in the
flowers and ribbons mixed with fal
trimmings, and an occasional hat with
long full lace barbes indicates thai
lace is coming back to use.
The Breton habit is one of the late
importations in dark camel's-hai
with bands of moss cloth in mixed
shades and buttons for trimming com
ing with the pattern. The moss clotl
is lsandsome relief TO quiet antnm,
colors. Suits of Scotch waterproof ii
the tartan plaids have long been fa
vorites for service in England, bu
