FROM THE PEOPLE.
A Voice from Heaven.

Lines suggested by the death of W. E. Cut
 ting, at Salisbury, March 7th. I shine in the light of God,
 His image stamps my brow; Through the shadows of death my feet hay
 trod,
 And reign in glory now. No breaking heart is here,
 No keen and thrilling pain, No wasted cheek where the burning tear
 Hath rolled and left it's stain. I have found the joys of heaven,
 I am one of the angel band; To my head crown is given, And harp is in my hand. have learned the song they sing, Whom Jesus hath made free, And the glorious walls of heaven still ring
 With my new born melody. I No sin, no grief, no pain
 Safe in my happy home; My fears all fled, my doubts all slain, My hour of triumph come. ! Oh friends of my mortal years, | The trusted and the true, You are walking still the vale of tears, l But wait to welcome you. Do forget? Oh no, | For memory's golden chain Shall bind my heart to the hearts below, | Til they meet and touch again. Each link is strong and bright, | While love's electric flame Flows freely down, like river of light, To the world from whence came. Do you mourn when another star l Shines out from the glorious sky2 Do you weep when the voice of war l And the rage of conflict die2 Why then should your tears roll down, ! Or your heart be sorsly riven For another gem in the Savior's crown, And another soul in heaven2 Turn to Him, to Him alone,
 For all that our poor lips can say To soothe thee, broken-hearted one,
 Would fail to comfort thee to-day. Jesus Himself will comfort thee.
 In His own time, in His own way, And haply more than 1.-two or three'
 Unite in prayer for thee to-day.

 The April Number of Harper's Magazine is rendered; exceedingly attractive by it's many beautiful illustrations, and every article in its table of contents is noteworthy. The number "opens with the first part of Mrs. John Lillie's paper, "Music and Musicians in Eugland"-a well considered and exceedingly interesting review of musical year in London, including also the great annual and trennial festivals i6the provinces.

 The Norwalk Hour has "written up" the works of the New England Spool Company, at Saugatuck. The wood used is birch and comes from Maine in sticks four feet long and about an inch square. It is piled under sheds near the factory and allowed to season thor oughly. After becoming thoroughly dried it is taken into the factory and run through a machine which rounds the sticks so that they resemble broom handles They are next run through machine which saws the stick into pieces about an inch and half long, They are then assorted, the imperfect ones being thrown out and the good ones fed into hop per from which they are emptied into cups attached to belt which carries them up stairs and dumps them. They then run down a sort of pipe and are received on a revolving plate, and as each one passes under a small augel the holes are bored and the little blocks are then ready for the machine which is to shape them. They are carried up to the ceiling by a belt and emptied into hopper, from which they are dropped one by one to 8 level with g lathe which is run at very high rate o speed. By an ingenious piece of mechanism the blocks are placed in the lathe and knife of peculiar shape turns them into the desired shape in an instant.
