''The third room--the paflor--is furnished

THE UNKNo WIN FUTURE.

know not what may befall me,
God hangs mist DER my eyes,
And before each step Of my onward way
He makes new scenes to rise;
And every joy he sends me, comes
As a sweet and glad surprise.
l see not step before me,
As trace the day OF the year;
But the past Is still in Gods keeping,
The future His mercy shall cheer,
And what looks dark in the distance,
May brighten as draw near.
For perhaps the dreaded future
Has loss bitter than think.
The Lord may sweeten the water
Before stoop to drink;
Or, Ii Marah must be Marah,
He will stand beside the brink.
1t may be He has Waiting
For the coming of my feet,
Some gift of such rare biessedness,
Some joy so strangely sweet,
That my life can only tremble
With the thanks cannot speak.
My heart shrinks back from trials
Which the future may disclose,
Yet never had a sorrow
But what the dear Lord chose;
And | send the coming tears back
With the whispered words, :" He knows"
So go on, not knowing;
! would not If might
would rather walk with God in the dark
Than 20 alone In the light.
/ would rather walk with Him by faith,
Than walk alone ty sight.

He DREAMED OF HOME.

He dreamed of home-aye, while the ciew
OF life so thin and Strengthened GREW,
breath might sever 1t in two!
He dreamed of home; amid the press
Ofthose old shadows death doth dress
In mist, and cold and heaviness,--
He dreamed ofhomei Sweet In his ear
The sound of rustling grain-felds near.
The orchard orioles fiuted cheer.
Before his dim and lidded eye
The lakes crisp billow fickered high
On azure deeper than the sky.
Slipped thence from all uproar and strife,
Once more the looks OF child and wife
Shone as the lamps of household life -
He dreamed of homei The vision few,
Wayered, reshaped itself anew,
Smiled, spske, as visions never do;
Still wide of home, he saw, instead,
It's angel standing by his bed.
Unshaken in the hour of dread.

INcoMBusTIBrbITY OF PArER.-We are ac-
oustomed to associate the idea of combusti-
blity with paper. If it be tightly wrapped
around metallic rod it can be held In gas
fame without burning. The metal carries
the heat away from it as fast as applied, be-
coming hot itself After while it reaches a
temperature, providing the fame is large
enough, at which the paper will burn. This
same phenomenon can be more strikiugly exs
hibited by making vessel of paper, filling II
with water, aud applying heat. No matter
how hot the fame over which it is placed
may be, it will not burn. The water will
boil, and the heat be absorbed, or rendered
latent, in the production Of steam. An egg
can thus be boiled in paper saucepan.

ADVERTISING THAT PAID.--Johnny Man
ming, the Sheriff of Deadwood, d. T., was in
st. Louis on business, and he remembered
that the year before St. Louis man had been
up to Deadwood and left owing y man several
hundred dollars, which was to be paid as soon
as lie got home. Manning met the man in
st. Louis, and he said he would hand him the
money next day but the day passed and the
money did not come, though the man was
amply able to pay. So one morning Manning
insterted personal In newspaper 10 the
effect that If the man who left Deadwood be-
tween two days did not pay the money he for
got to pay, before night, the whole circum-
stance would be published the next day. The
notice was signed ''John Manning, Sheriff Of
Deadwood,', Before nine o'clock young
man called at Manning's hotel and said be
had come to pay sss he had borrowed to get
out of Deadwood. Manning found ort who
the money was borrowed from, and took 1t to
carry to the Deadwood citizen, remarking
that he was not the man referred to, but IL
was mighty mean sheriff who would not
carry money to q friend. The next man to
call was the one be wanted, and lie paid the
money and apologisedi and begged the
Sheriff to say nothing about it. During the
day seven citizens of St. Louis called ON
Manning and paid him money for citizens Of
Deadwood, believing the Sheriff had refer
ence to them in his notice and after he had
gone away, another citizen called aud asked
the clerk for Manning, but the clerk said the
other fellows had been there and paid up and
this man had better keep bis money. The
Sheriff said he always thought advertising
paid, bus he never had it demonstrated to his
satisfaction before.

THE TAR HEEL STATE.
A COlored Delegation Complain

1hdt their race IS not Properly
Treated.
The delegation Of colored Repub-
licans appointed by the convention
held at Raleigh, N. c., last month
tc protest against the unfair distrib-
'u,.on Of Federal Offices in that State,
had an interview with the President
yesterday. George Price, the chair
man of the delegation, presented the
memorial and statement of their
grievances. They say they do not
desire to control any greab humber
Of Federal offices, but as they have
always been faithful in their support
Of the Republican party, and rs they
number about $500 voters, against
10000 white Republicans in the
State, they should be allowed q pro-
portionate share of the patronage.
In reply, the President said that he
symyathized deeply with them in
this phase of the situation that he
had no means of knowing the stand
ing of such applicants from North
Carolina as were appointed to Offices,
save through the representations Of
the party leaders in he State; that
it had been his belief, and he had
always exemplified that be-
lief in his action, that the colored
race should be properly recognized
whenever an opportunity offered, as
in the appointment Of Douglass as
Recorder of Deeds and Bruce as
Register Of the Treasury. He adj
monished the delegation that they
should be particularly cautions in
