Tf.x Drumkord's Dream.
By ALTER zoo.
Poor ] sob has been to town again,
To liquor bound slave:
His. soul sore chafed with habits chain
Leads to a drunkard's grave.
Oh, VOWS and promises unkept
Ring in the ears OF one
Who for him long has prayed and wept
With heart so sad and lone.
His spree is DER; for home he starts
With fiend-fire IN his breast
And full of aches, and pains, and smarts
He looks toward home for rest.
The snow is deep, he walks but slow,
The demon holds his mind:
His limbs grow cold he cannot go.
The snow storm makes him blind.
AT last bis weakened nature fails,
He sinks upon his knees
HIS wretched life he now bewails-
His limbs commence to freeze.
A loathsome picture Of the past
Comes plainly up to view;
He feels his life-blood chilling fast
And knows not what to do.
The pain is DER. he sinks to sleep
He sleeps, but will he wake
The angels DER HIM vigils keep;
will they that stained soul take?
He's raised as by some magic hand,
And speeds fast DER the snow,
HIS eyes behold strangers land
Still faster he does go.
They halt in such wretched place
Strewn wide with drunkard's bones;
And Satan, grinning in his face.
Said IN such hellish tones -
We tried to get you here for years
But then we could not blk
That young wife's prayers and scalding tears
And Murphy's temperance silk
His step he cannot now retrace.
But bound with heated chains.
Eternally doomed to disgrace
And ever racking pain;
Now led to the precipice brink,
His captor holds him fast,
And makes his burning chains to clink
As Rob screams, Hope is past !"
He prays for deliverance now.
While hot fumes DER him run;
II God will save, he makes the vow
TO shield both wife and son.
Yes, God did hear that simple prayer,
And answered for Chrlsts sake;
just then his eyes began to stare
He found himself awake.
He sees his wife with open eyes,
Into her face he stares
Bswidered. oh, the glad surprise
To moot HIM unawares
Then she tells to him the story:
How near to death he came
When discovered by Will Cory
And brought home by the same.
Then told him how for breath he gasped,
And how they watched him long;
With death his eyelids seemed closed fast.
"a" He's dead 80 said the throng;
She said she loved him better now
Than ere she had before;
And placed one kiss upon his brow
To seal the heretofore.
His touching story then he told
OF all he had passed through.
And what he suffered from the cold,
And brought his dream to view.
Many years have passed since then
Things have 80 changed become
Long since Rob left the drunkard's den
For his loved Christian home.
That vow he made before his God
Although made in dream,
He holds as sacred as the code
From whence his light doth CLEAN.
Now to all drunkards Rob would say:
Keep this dream on your mind
When tempted, speak the short wori nay.
And peace and plenty find.

Quite an influx of those devoted women,
the Sisters of Charity has been noticeable in
Carson these, few days past. Some of the
Sisterhood were in the city yesterday.
Speaking of the Sisters reminds us that we
have heard that the present holders of the old
Carson Race Course (the Catholic Church
authorities) have abandoned their project Of
building a convent here, and contemplate the
sale Of the land We hope this is not SO.
The cosiest and completest set of offices for

day evening, the occasion being the award of
prizes won on Saturday last, The first being
the gold medal presented by the citizens of
Carson, one year since, and won by private
King; the other a beautiful leather medal,
won by private Mills. Speeches were made
by Sergeant Moger and happily responded to
by the recipients, after which the company
was addressed by Messrs. Lent, Bence and
Burlingame The company have arranged for
a State International target shoot to take
place at Carson during the fall. 1t is to be
hoped that our citizens will encourage the
same, by Offering prizes. The meeting closed

theater, among which are Turkish garden
scene, Gothic chamber, wood scene, street
scene, plain chamber, kitchen and prison

Advantages possessed by this substance over
others are that it is cheap and abundant, and
that insects cured by it's use are not liable to

Power of the Waves.

Those who have never lived on stormy
coast, nor been to sea, can form no ade-
ouate idea of the effect that can be pro-
duced by the impact of a succession of
waves, or of single wave. What has hap
pened at Wick, on the extreme northern
coast of Scotland, where breakwater has
been building for several years past, may
give an idea of what is meant by wave
power. 1t was found that stones of ten
tons weight were as pebbles to the waves,
which have been measured to be here forty
two feet from the crest to the bottom of
the trough. The outer end Of the break
water, where the storms beat most violently,
was built of three courses of one-hundred
ton stones laid on the rubble foundations;
next above these were three courses of
large, fat stones, and upon this mass of
concrete, built on the spot of cement and
rubble, the end of the breakwater was
thought to be as immovable as the natural
rock; yet the resident engineer saw it slowly
yield to the force of the waves, and swing
round into the less troubled waters inside
the pier. 1t gave way not in fragments
but in one mass, as if it was monolith.
The displaced mass is estimated to weigh
about $50 tons.

Our @lio.
How Gold Lace is Manufactured.

The Coventry Standard says:-Gold
lace is not gold lace 1t does not deserve
this title, for the gold is applied as sur
face to silver 1t is not even silver lace,
for the silver is applied to foundation of
silk. The silken threads for making this
material are wound round with gold wire
so thickly as to conceal the silk; and the
making of this gold wire is one of the
most singular mechanical operations imag-
Unable. In the first place, the refner pre-
pares solid rod of silver about an inch in
thickness; he heats this rod, applies upon
the surface sheet of gold leaf, Furnishes
this down, applies another coating burn
ishes this down, and SO on until the
gold is about one hundredth part the thick
ness of the silver. Then the rod is sub
jected to train Of processes which brings
it down to the state of fine wire; it is pass
ed through holes in a steel plate lessening
step by step in diameter. The gold never
deserts the silver; but adheres closely to it
and shares all its mutations; it is one hun
dredth part the thickness of the silver at
the beginning, and it maintains the same
ratio to the end. AS to the thinness to
which the gold coated rod of silver can be
brought, the limit depends on the delicacy
of the human skill; but the most remark
able example ever known was brought for
ward by DIR. Wollaston.
This was an example of solid gold wire
without any silver He procured small
rod of silver, bored hole through it from
end to end, and inserted in this hole the
smallest gold wire he could procure, he
subjected the silver to the usual wire-draw-
ing process, until he had brought it to the
finest attainable state-being in fact, sill
yer wire as fine as hair, with gold wire
in its centre. To isolate this gold wire
he subjected it to warm nitrous acid, by
which the silver was dissolved, leaving a
gold wire one thirty thousandth ofan inch
in thickness-perhaps the thinnest round
wire that the hand of man has yet pro-
duced. But the wire, though beyond all
comparison finer than any employed in
manufactures, does not approach in thin
ness the film of gold on the surface of sill
yer and gold lace. 1t has been calculated
that the gold on the very finest silver
wire for gold lace is not more than one
third of one millionth of an inch in thick
ness, that is not above one tenth the thick
ness of the ordinary gold leaf
