Lamp Cement.-Where the tops of
lamps have become loosened, it is not an
easy job to mend them, and many have
oeen disappointed in attempting to &C.
ment them on by the use of plaster-of-
Paris. It is said that by boiling three
parts of rosin with one part of caustic
soda and five parts of water, and mixing
with one-half its weight of plaster-of-
Paris, one will make q cement which is
not permeable by petroleum. It sets
firmly in short time, and is not a good
conductor of heat.

The conner comes who wears sublime
The splendor of the elder time.
Yetr-'tls strangers face, and fit
Strange CLEANS and shadows over it;
Who readeth what thereon is write
Will he be good and gentle as
This dear old year, whose sands, alas!
Are draining swiftly down the glass?
How kind was he; he could not save.
Some cherished treasures from their grave,
But greater in their place he gave.
And merry days he had for each,
With helpful hand and hopeful speech.
He cheered us Oh, our hopes to reach;
And wrought ana labored earnestly,
And planned the better things to be-
The good he shoald not live to see.

A Sea-Waif.

MY Archie, come, for whom I yearned,
Come with sea-wOn prize;
A box by dusky natives turned,
A pearl of royal size"' .u.s.
"Yea, lass. I've brought cleaning pearl,
Some queenly breast might grace;
See there, aliving, laughing girl,
Blue eyed and dimpled face.
abandoned by the fair Seychelles,
We picked her up one morn.
Before the mighty azure swells
To coral reefs were borne.
"Before the leagues OF whitening spray
BY heated trade-winds famed,
Ran up the -fringed, land-locked bay,
TO thunder on the strand.
"A relic Of some hapless bark,
Or burnt, or wrecked, we found
Her father lying stiff and stark
Beside her, outward bound.
We gave him to the ocean, took
His little daughter. There!
She's mine, and therefore thine: so look
She meets mothers care.
"A heaven-sent waif, she well may come
With Joy and gladness fraught;
Pray that her presence bless our home
Beyond wish or thought!
Our Jewel opes her trustful eyes;
No wickedness I'd dare
Before her sight; and would despise
Myself if / could swear
"Before her ears so innocent,
And shock this gracious child,
To ME hardened sinner sent
III keep her undefled.
"And she shall play with little Bess,
And daily 20 to school;
She's made me tender; none would guess
Me such whimp'ring fool!
"Yet doing all the good we can,
And hating evil ways,
est, the Bible says, for man,
And gives God endless praise.
So take the comely lassie, wife,
The treasure of the sea
With sunshine may she flood or life.
In death comfort be!

1t is unhappily the fact that the recommen-
dations of the President and his Cabinet off,
GERS are likely to have httlo weight with the
present Congress. A. General Ewing recently
stated, with commendable frankness, the time
will probably be spent by Congress in sharp
enIng political issues for the next campaign
The Democrat whose mind is fixed
upon plans to improve the condi-
tion OF his party. in respect to the
popular appreciation of its attitude will
hardly listen with favor to suggestions which.

TO aid his political opponents. Perhaps Mr..

suggestions as any ether member OF the Cabi-

being strengthened, was UNNECESSARILY dam
aged by It. That il the comment furnished
bv themselves upon what they have
done: upon the record already made.
Their present view as to the ability
of the party 10 discharge properly the re-
sponsibilities OF power, is disclosed IN the ex-
preston of the opinion by ali the clearer
headed leaders and the approval thereon oy uie
party press generally. that the wisest thing to 90
is to pass the appropriation bills and adjourn.
In short, TO do only what is absolutely neces-
sary, and take no chances.
TO this il may be added that among those who
point this out as the wisest course there Is not
one who thinks the party in Congress will
have the good sense TO adopt it. This then,
is the position of the party III the maJoiI'y
in Congress. And these are the fruits ny
which we know them. Pretending TO Dc
party of patriots and to believe that
the interests Of the country demand that us
government should be wholly inuusiod to
them, they come together with but one com
mon topic of discussion, and that not how 10
help the country. but how to save their
party Wanting their superior fitness for
legislative duties, they try hard to forget
the record they have made already. for which
they hardly venture an apology, and confess
that the only way TO save anything out OF the
wreck OF their professions and not for
felt all claim TO the reputation OF SELL
sible men, is to adjourn "a soon as pos
sible, and take no chances for showing
any further their unwoIthiness and inca
pacity. The party that aspires to absolute
control has been tried in small things and
driven to confess its unfitness. If it had the
shrewdness of its leaders it would adjourn
rs quickly as possible and avoid the
risk, or the certainty, of showing it
still further. 1t is the browning COM
ment on its assumptions that it has not even
the good sense 10 DO this. 1t viii stay and
stay, and putter and tinker, and III spite of it
self talk itself out OF court. That Is the ia
tally which follows Il.

LIFF.S1VIAG sERHlcE REPOfr.

Probably no branch of the Government ser
vice has had SO hard a fight IN contending for
mere existence as this. 1t WAS for years de-
cried as a sentimental, impractcable scheme
in which the Nations money was to DC wasted.
The funds for Its support were dribbled out
SO peauriously that its work was crippled at
every point 1t has only been within the :..st
year OF two that its men and means have
been sufficient measurably to insure It's
efficacy.
The Report of General Superintendent Kim
ball. for the year just ended, ought TO satisfy
the most eceptica that the amount expended
in the support of this service brings back an
enormous interest, i'll actual bard money,
aside from all higher considerations of the
saving OF human life There have been in
1879, on the portions of the coast
guarded by the service, 219 disasters
TO vessels. the estimated value of which
was Sl,922.276, and of their cargoes
$3.50, go, making a total OF $2,se7SS6; of
which $1,445.06s was saved; eighty-nin
other vessels were rescued from peri!ous
positions 10y the hfe-saving crews. 1t will be
remembered that the saving of properly is
not. however, the principal duty or vital
motive Of tits service. or the 2,107 lives
endangered by these shipwrecks, 2,O49
were saved-most Of whom would have been
lost but for the and of the crews and their
life-saying appliances. The record of ship
wrecks Is larger than for any previous year,
owing 10 two or three terrific gales during the
Summer and early Fab. AS an example OF
the efficacy of the service, Chief kimball
points to the significant fact that the
4 -, nn
saving stations, one ont of every 81 lives
endangered was lost ; while in 1879 there was
but one ont OF 46s, and that woman asleep
in the hold of vessel. The summary OF work
done by the Service since the beginning Of the
present system in 1871 is. however, the best
apology fer its existence. OF S,394 lives i'm
nerined. 5000 were saved; 1873 of Il ose lost
were on the Huron, for which assuredly the
life-saviug crews were not responsible; the
value of property saved amounts to $3.50, 40S
No commendation of ours could add force to
the argument Of these figures. Wo wish, how
ever. heartily to bear our I stimony, to the
unwoariod watehfulneas and severity of the
scrutiny maintained by Superintendent Kim
ball over the minutest detail of the service.
Keepers and crews are human, and among the
large corps Of men employed along the vast
stretch of coast il is impossible that there should
not sometimes be one inefficient OF unable for
his work. But 20 every HINT of ineficiency
the superintendent has given his immediate
personal attention, has turned deaf ear to
all apologies, and the unfit men nave been
promptly weeded out from the service. Moth
ing but the sterne5t justice will answer here.
One ignorant keeper or cowardly crew may
cause the loss of hundreds of human lives.
