IHE FREEDMEN'S SAVINGS AND TRUST CON-
PLNf. Secretary Sherman has sent TO the
senate, In response to a resolution OF the 5th
instant, a communication I'm relation TO the
F1eedmen'S Savings and Trust company, in
which he states that the balance standing to
the credit OF that institution at the end OF each
year were as follows: December 81, 1874
4I.5il sc; December 81, 1875, S249, IS; De-
cember 81 1876, se65, ,e94 "A; December 81 1871
s3S1 05..1: November 80, 1875, S239.4I3.9S. These
funds. he says, are I'm the nature Of discussing
account and are held subject at all times to the
checks OF the commissioners. They are not
therefore, available funds for the use OF the de-
partMent. NO interest on these funds has been
paid, and the department having been charged
with the responsibility and labor OF holding and
paving out the funds, he does not recommend
that any interest be paid. Secretary Sherman
renewS recommendation made last year that
the bank building be purchased for the use OF
the government, and suggests that the final
closing up OF the affairs OF the company be en-
trusted to receiver under the direction OF the
Comptroller Of the Currency for which legisla-
tion will be necessary, as wei as for time for
allowing dividends uncalled for TO inure to the
benefit Of other depositors.

LET YOUR NElGnBoRs ALONE.

No people are such thorough nuisan-
ces as those who are perpetually med
ding with the business of their neigh
bors-who are always on the alert for
anything suspicious-always ready to
believe the worst of anybody. What is
it to you if your neighbor does bring
home a brown paper package and COW
cred basket? ? You will live just as long
if you never know what they contain. 1t
is none of your business. And If your
fighty neighbor, Mrs. Iightfoot, indul-
ges herself in a new bonnet, while her
devoted husband wears patched boots,
you need not fret about it-he is the
only sufferer, not you. No need of max
ing hue and cry over her supposed ex-
travagance. The money did not come
out of your pocket, and consequently it
is none of your business. What if the
minister does call on Ann Smith twice
a week ? Why exercise your brain about
it? Suppose she has an awful temper
and powders her face as she says she
does-her temper will not trouble you.
Mind your own concerns What differ
ence does it make to you if bold Maria
''cuts OUT modest Mary?
You need not torture Mary by long
stories Of what you have heard concern
ing the matter. II thought | would tell
you, my dear. | speak for your good.
Somebody should put you on your guard
against that treacherous girl" AS a
natural consequence, modest Mary, her
womanly pride aroused, shrinks into the
background, leaving the field open to
her victorious rival So you crush a
good girls heart because you will not
mind your own business. What if they
have three dozen pairs of stockings al
Squire Hills. Haven't they a right to
As long as you do not do the washing il
need not trouble you at all. What right
have you to watch their clothes-line ?
Employ your time better 1t may be
perfectly true that dashing Mrs. Gray
signals to young DIR. Wilde from hel
back windows. But who gave you the
privilege of watching lady in her own
house, where, if in any place, her priva.
cy should be sacred? Her disgrace is
nothing to you; it is none of your bust
ness. If we had our way, meddler'
should be punished like any other offend
ers against the rights of others.

BooKs.-Books are not made for fur
niture, but there is nothing else that SO
beautifully furnishes house. The
plainest row of books is more significant
of refinement than the most elaborately
carved s;deboard. Give US home fur
nished with books rather than with fur
nlture-both if you can, but books at
any rate To spend several days at a
friends house and hunger for something
to read, while you are treading on cost
ly carpets or setting in luxurious chairs
and sleeping upon down, is as if you
were bribing your body for the sake of
cheating your mind. Books are the
windows through which the soul looks
out. A house without them is like a
room without windows. No man has a
right to bring up children without sur
rounding them with books, if he has the
means to buy them. 1t is a wrong to
his family. Children learn to read
through being in the presence of books.
The love of knowledge in young mind
Is almost warrant against the inferior
excitement of passion and vice.

Phil spoke not word in reply; but

that he could not dispose of him.

THE E,EIRIOEIS PROCESS OF MAX.
ING RUBBER BALLS.

The process of making the hollow rub
Der balls used by children for playthings
is quite curious, and may be interesting
to those not familiar with it. A Hol-
yoke writer thus describes it: The up
per room of the mill is prepared to push
this branch of the business for few
months and Will probably turn out some
10000 dozen of these balls between
January and June. These balls have a
solid surface, are made from different
process from that of making the soft
rubber balls which are perforated by an
opening, and, of course, are much more
firm, durable and elastic. The sheets of
rubber prepared for the balls are cut in
to strips of double convex shape. The
edges of the strips are moistened with a
preparation of rubber and naptha. by
which they are joined firmly together,
three of the strips being used for one
ball.
This part of the work is done by girls,
and skillful girl can earn about $l.5O
per day. When the strips are Joined to-
gether, the ball is very near the shape
Of a Brazil nut. Before the last opening
is closed, small quantity of carbonate
of ammonia is put inside, which, when
subjected to strong heat, will make the
rubber expand and fill out the ball mold.
The opening is then closed with the ad-
hesive mixture and it is placed in an
iron mold of the size and shape of the
ball desired. The molds are packed into
frames in which they are subjected tc
the heat of the vulcanizer.
They are kept in place in the frame
! by iron rods along the side, and when il
is full, iron plates at the ends are screw
ed down tightly upon the molds to hole
them in place. These iron plates arr
about three-fourths of an inch thick, anC
SO strong is the expansive force of thu
rubber in the molds that they have ben
this thick iron into curve. If one o
the molds should work out of plac
while vulcanization is in process, tn
molds will fly out with noise like tn
report Of a dozen pistols, and the worl
is spoiled. The action of the heat doe
the rest. When the molds are opene
they contain the perfect round balls
with no mark of the places where tn
pices were placed. The slight ridg
made by the mold is ground off by
stone used for the purpose, and the bal
is done. This IS but one process of rut
Der work. Besides the hollow balls al
made solid balls of rubber, etc.

ANTICIPATION.

Slanting across the fields Of snow,
The westering sun makes haste to go;
This day, know is tried and sweet,
Tomorrow tires my tagging feet.
With many pause and happy rest
I've journeyed with To-day, my guest;
His stranger brother cannot be,
Methinks, as goodly company
Holding in his mysterious hand
Gifts that will bless or blight the land!
Tarry yet longer, far To-day,
That bodng step an hour delay.
What songs have told my spirits cheer,
What sunlight warmed the glowing year,
What dear companions round me hung,
These with tomorrow fade apace,
Like bloom from beloved face;
And trusting half, yet half with dread,
question, "What shall be instead?"
The sun drops deeper, night is chill;
The oracles seek are still;
Yon herald star which glitters low
Seems beckoning on the way go.
Tomorrow? All, that door doth ope
A new celestial path to Hope.
More than ask or dream must be,
In Gods tomorrow kept for mel

LIGHT IN THE CLOUD.

Theirs never an always cloudless sky,
There's never a vale so fair,
But over it sometimes shadows lie
In chill and songless air.
But never a cloud o'erhung the day.
And flung its shadows down.
But on its heaven-side cleaned some ray,
Forming a sunshine crown.
II is dark on only the downward side;
Though RACES the tempest loud,
And scatters its terrurs far and wide,
There's light upon the cloud.
And often, when II traileth low,
Shutting the landscape out.
And only the chilly east winds blow
From the foggy seas of doubt.
There1l come time, near the setting sun,
When the joys Of life seem few;
rift will break in the evening dun,
And the golden light stream through.
And the soul glorious light will make
Out of the golden bars.
And all its priceless treasures take,
Where shine the eternal stars.
