A few weeks ago, most interesting

coast of England, and one in which com
mander Luce, of the United States navy,
took part. | allude to the conservation and
opening of the new Eddystone Lighthouse,
by the Duke of scarborough. Let us, in
imagination, join that august party, and
take an easy stroll through that master
piece of masonry and of skill. All that
science could do, has been done to render
the new building in the highest degree
efficient for the purpose it is intended to
serve What an enormous mass of ma
sonry! set in graceful curve from base to
summit In the distance its delicate lines
almost suggest fragility! So well is its
enormous strength concealed in its exquisite
proportions. But nearer view entirely
dsperses such ideas See with what accu-
racy the solid blocks are chiseled How
finely the jointed lines appear So close
are they as to be almost invisible, and the
whole surface of the stone dressed and
polished as if to appear at the nuptials of
the gods. These stones, conseCrated to
such holy USES are dovetailed the one into
the other with mathematical exaltveSS, bolted
and locked in each others arms as one huge
mosaic from base to summit. Many parts,
vet one, cohering with a ttnaeib that is
utterly inconcevable = the result of the
skllful application of the laws Of gravity,
cohesion and pressure. Slowly it reared
itself above the water-line, gracefully it de-
veloped in its pure proportions till it stood
before God and the world "a building fifty
framed" together, worthy temple Of
Deity, an emblem of strength, calm entau-
anee, nuaivc/ltNg to,titude, SeebASs taithtuk

to cupola, and you find no assure nor flaw,
no sinking, nor s7oay-it bears itself proudly
in the presence of royalty. 1t is an emblem
and MASTERY piece; it is poem in cement and
steel; it is monument to civilization and to
Christianity. Generations of men, like
fitting shadows, pass away but it will
endure The fortunes of peoples and en-
pres will ebb and flow as the tide beneath
its feet but it will remain The ocean, in
it's madness, may seethe and boil around it,
tower above it, gather itself together in
mountain masses, and with the wild roar
and tumult of battle hurl its ungovernable
force upon it, clasp it in its mad frenzy with
the cold clasp of death, blind it with spray,
suffocate it with foam, swish round it with
the deadly breath Of the destroying angel;
amidst it all, superior to every force that
plays around, it steadily performs its mis-
sion of mercy and of love. 1t could not be

Our text speaks OF three OF the great
natural forces-the rain, the flood, the
wind. What changes have they effected
either singly or in combination. Water, in
one or other of the forms alluded to in our
text, is one of the prominent agents in pro-
ducing the varied landscape that charms
the eye. The more we reflect upon the
part which it plays in the economy of our
globe, the more we shall see its Importance
in nature In the form of clouds they gar
rison the sky-now moving to the solemn
music of the thunder, anon they ride on the
wngless wind in thousand forms of wild
fantastic beauty; again they sleep in the
circumambient air, and while sleeping van
ish out of sight to reappear in some other
form of beauty in the tableaux of the sky.
That mist which lies in the morning SO
softly in the valley level and white, through
which the tops of the trees rise as if
through aninundation, why is it SO heavy?
and why does it lie SO low? being yet SO
thin and frail that it will melt away utterly
into splendor of morning, when the sun has
shone on it but few moments more
Those colossal pyramids, huge and firm,
with outlines as of rocks, and strength to
bear the beating of the high sun on their
fiery TANKS, why are they SO light-ther
bases high over our heads? Why will
these melt away and leave the stars of
twilight clear while the valley vapor gains
upon the earth like shroud? Or that
ghost of a cloud which steals by yonder
clump of pines-nay, which does not steal
by them, but haunts them, wreathing yet
round them, and yet, and yet slowly, now
falling in fair waved line, like woman's
veil; now fading-now gone. We look
away for an instant and look back, and it
is there again. Has it hidden a cloudy
treasure among the moss at its roots which
it watches thus? Or has some strong en-
chanter charmed it into fond returning, or
bound it fast within those bars of Dough?
And yon filmy crescent, bent like an
archer's bow above the snowy summit
the highest of all the .hills-that white arch
that never forms but over the supreme
crest-how is it stayed there ?-nowhere
touching it, the clear sky seen between it
and the mountain edge, yet never leaving
it-poised as white bird hovers over its
nest. Or those war cloud that gather on
the horizon, dragon-crestaF tongued with
fire; how is their barbed strength bridled ?
What bits are those they are champing
with their vaporous lips9 finging off fakes
of black foam-leagued leviathans of the
Sea of Heaven Out of their nostrils goeth
smoke, and their eyes are like the eyelids
of the morning The sword Of him that
layeth at them can not hold the spear the
dart, nor the habergeon Where ride the
captains of these armies? Where are set
the measures of their march? Fierce
murmurers, answering each other from
morning until evening-what rebuke is this
which has awed them into peace? What

quired size that nothing more Is necessary
than TO cut it into single bricks by wires.
These bricks are dried in the sun and
burned in kilns with the usual arrange.
ment of fires and flues. The color of brick
depends upon the amount of iron in the

about or II per cent. or iron. so that the

from adjoining towns for five Car loads of

THE POLITICAL SITUATION.

1t is strange that a people as intelligent
rs the Americans should cling with such
tenacity to the empty forms of the repub
lican and democratic parties. The two
great parties of the present are dead be-
cause they represent no live issues. Fol
several years the republican party has
barely maintained itself in power by per-
sistantly reminding us OF what it has done
while the democratic party has prolonged
its Pickering life by skillful feats of dema
gogism.
The questions upon which republican:
and democrats divided twenty years age
are settled, and yet every thinking person
knows that there are important question:
10 he settled in the future which will ma
terially differ from those that have beer
settled, and upon which there is yet ne
party division. Among these are thu
tariff, or in other words, the true priEcipa
and policy of taxation in its various forms
civil service reform; monopolies; tn,
liquor traffic and the true relation of CAPT
tai and labor. These are all questions
that like Banquos ghost, will not down
They viii present themselves and they
must be answered and settled. The pres
ent situation presents more the aspect o
Internal dissentions than of shafp party
division, and is consequently time O
marked independence. independent vot
ers cannot be controlled by bosses, ant
consequently the average machine politi
clan Is entirely at sea. During the pas
year we have had many illustrations Of
this state of affairs, memorable among
which are, the New York custom house
appointment last spring; the Pennsylvania
elections last fall, where a large number
of republican voters announced their in
tention of voting regular" only on cendi
ton that regularity should not mean "boss
rule" 1t is in this state of affairs that we
are drifting toward new congress Vot
ers hereafter are not going to lie deluded
into voting for candidates by evaslve plat
forms, but their motives and objects will
be scanned closely, and if regular candi
dates will not plant themselves squareIy
on well defined platforms, the time will b.
prolific of independent ones.
