A Chinese Funeral.

The Black Hills Ness gives the following
lively description Of a Chinese funeral
which took place at the Hills recently:
The Chinese funeral recently was grand
and imposing affair. The ceremonies were
held In Chinatown, and various incanta-
tons were performed over the baked pig,
chicken, and rice, and arrack, in sight of many
of our citizens. A band was In attendance
and during the ceremony would discourse
some Of the late and most popular airs, such
as Yankee Doodle Shoe fly etc, which,
although not being exactly the American
style Of funeral music, seemed 10 please the
Celestials nightly. Contrary TO their usual
custom, the hog, chicken, etc, were not Ia
ken 10 the grave, as the disgraccful scramble
of the rabble, on the last occasion decidedly
proved 10 the mourners that the departed
spirit had little show for the provisions IN
face Of the mob, consequently they were
left In the Joss house In Chinatown. Con-
spicuous among those present was Il man
with a copy OF Gospel Hymns in his hands,
seated on the railing around the adjoining
grave, and many Of the uninitiated were
anxiously awaiting for him TO open the ccre-
mony, but he kept on his perch until the
affair was over without making sign. He
was probably waiting for some one 10 ask
him 10 take drink. Hecouldn't have been a
book agent, or he would certainly have come
down of his perch 10 try 10 sell his volume
Of Gospel Hymns 10 the remains.

A Genius at Figures.

Mr.. Leonard Gardner of South Wey-
mouth, mechanic, who never had more

methods which he has taught himself, and
has attracted the attention Of the scientists at
Cambridge and Washington by the accura-
cy Of his computations, in some cases having
pointed out and corrected the errors In those

last year In computing the limits Of visibili-
ty Of the recent transit Of Venus on the
earth, with the beginning and Of the transit

Ebonized Furniture.

process Of ebonizing wood Is compare.

The wood is first stained with decoc.

from any druggist or dealer in dye stutfs.--

rubbed with cloth to prevent the forma.
ton of a gummy cast thereon. After the
article has been left to dry for few hours
the second application, which consists Of
vinegar in which 2 quantity Of nails OF
clean filings have been soaked for several
days, Is freely laid on with brush. The
moment the the vinegar touches the wood Il
combines with the logwood solution In the
pores, making an ink which Is permanent

considered the beet wood for ebonizing,
and the furniture TO which we have referred

onized cherry. White wood, maple and

Any close grained, dense wood will answer.
Ash, chestnut and oak are not suitable.

FAIRY woRKMEN.

When the world Is wrapped in slumber,
Through the frosty winter night,
Fairy workmen, without number,
Labor till the morning light.
Cold they feel not though It's biting
Love keeps warm each tiny heart;
All In one bright work uniting,
Each with gladness taking part.
Catching snowflakes earthward speeding,
Carving them with varied grace,
Every spray with pearl drops beading,
Strcwing gems DER Natures face.
Tracing forms of fairy bowers,
In which Oberon might reign,
Rooted with ferns, and paved with flowers
Tricky DER each lattice pane.
Lulling by their song the river
TO Its dreamy winter rest,
Till 1t sleeps, and not CULVER
Trembles on its placid breast,
Thus the fairies, slumber scorning,
Labor thro' the long-drawn night,
BY their art our world adjoining,
Making all things fair and bright.

CHILDHOOD.



By GEORGE d. PRENTICE.
IT'S sad, yet sweet, TO listen
To the soft winds gentle swell.
And think we hear the music
Our childhood loved so well;
Togaze out on the eve,
And the boundless fields OF air,
And feel again our boyhood's wish,
To roam like angels there.
There are many dreams Of gladness
That cling around the past,
And from the tomb Of feeling
Old thoughts came thronging fast;
The friends we loved 50 dearly.
In the happy days now gone.
The beautiful and lovely,
So fair TO lock upon.
Those bright and gentle maidens,
Who seemed 80 formed for bliss,
Too glorious and too heavenly
For such world as this;
whose dark, SOFT eyes seemed swimming
In sea Of liquid light;
And whose locks Of gold were streaming
Der brows 90 sunny bright.
Like the brightest buds of summer
They have fallen from the stem,
Yet, oh, 1t Is lovely dream,
To fade from earth like them.
And yet the thought is saddening
To muse on such as they.
And feel that all the beautiful
Are passing swift away!
That the fair ones whom we love
Grow to each loving breast,
Like tendrils Of the clinging vine,
And perish where they rest
