QUALITY.

Take, ere the bee hath slipped,
The courtly, malden-lipped,
And dewy oleander,
And breathe, and dream, and wander.
But all take not another,
Lest fragrance fragrance smother.
What all your wreathed wine,
II what taste Of mine
Be pure? The Burgund sun
Reflects AZ warm In one
Flame-klndled drop as 'twere
The vintage of year.
Stranger, thy passing word
My leaping heart hath heard;
Its tone makes strangeness end
This hour thou art my friend;
And could not dearer be,
Loved an eternity.
Beauty, or Joy, or mirth-
OF all that's best on earth,
One is thousand WORTH Century.

SUBMISSION.

Dear Lord of life and death
To thee bow,
And with each conscious breath
Would trust thee now.
Strange shadows cloud my way,
cannot see;
look above and say,
He leadeth me-"
And If cannot feel
Thy presence near,
Let faith to me reveal
The knowledge clear.
IT'S better far to prove
In sorrows night
The fullness of thy love.
Its gentle might,
Than In unbroken day,
Meath cloudless sky,
To lose the faith-lt way
That brings thee nigh.
/ do not understand,
Nor need to try;
Do thou but hold my hand
Till by and by.
LIES mystic path shall cease
At Heavens door,
And ], in perfect peace,
Rest evermore.

GoD's guidance does not make mans
needless, for a very large part of Gods
guidance is ministered to us through men.
And whenever mans thoughts and
words teach us to understand Gods
thoughts and words more clearly, to love
them more earnestly, or obey them more
gladly, there human guidance is discharg-
ing its noblest function. -Maclaren.

NOTHING is easier than fault-fnding.

plaint.-Robert West.

of the pretty island of Iona, opposite a
frowning and mountainous cliff just above
Peekskill, the younger Cinnamon became
frantic with excitement and tile moment the
gang-plank touched the wharf they went
ashore with yell and a rush, and immedi-
ately set off quantities of fireworks, which
in half an hour had made the atmosphere Of
the island blue. They exploded fire-crack-
ers on all sides and set off Chinese bombs,
made of powder packed in bamboo, which
gave forth report like a young cannon.
Others flew kites of strange foreign make,
which represented dragons, serpents and
birds of different species III the afternoon
short religious service was held in the pa
Wilton, and, in response to remarks by the
Rev. Mr.. Pendeton, Mr.. All Wing thanked
the guests of the Cinnamon for their asss
lance In rendering the excursion a success.
This service was concluded in peculiar and
somewhat orthodox manner Immediately
after the benediction the band struck up
with clatter bang and crash, which
sounded like a railroad collision, and stimuli
taneously string of fire-crackers, 20 feet in
length, was ignited, which sputtered, fizzled,
and cracked, and two great bombs exploded,
aud VITA this grand feu de joie of noise,
smoke aud fire the picnic was wound up.

Chinese Sunday School Picnic.
New York Times. ]


The scarlet and orange triangle of the
Chinese flag foated from the mast of the
steamer Long Branch at s O'Clock Monday
morning when the vessel put out from the
Battery on an excursion TO Iona Island, In
the Hudson. The trip marked an era In the
civilization Of American resident Cinnamon,
for the steamer took out the first Monaghan
picnic that ever disported itself on Christian
turf. The excursion was given by the Chi
nese pupils Of the Sabbath schools of the
Harlem Congregational, Fifty-ffth street
Baptist, Fifty-ninth street Baptist, Thirty
ninth street Reformed Presbyterian, TWEEN
ty-third street Reformed Presbyterian,
Fourteenth street Presbyterian, and TeDth
street Baptist churches, under the auspices
of the Baptist Chinese Christian association,
to their teachers and friends, under the man
agement of Der An Wing, an educated and
Americanized Chinaman. The scene on
board the vessel was a peculiar one, for
American ladies and Chinese gentlemen
were chatting affably together, Chinese boys
were playing with American children, and
the language of America and China mingled
were attired in the garb Of civilization
throughout, but most of them wore the bag
gy trousers, loose blouse, and thick-soled
sandals Of their native country. The music
was furnished by band of eight musicians,
whom their countrymen surrounded with
undisguised delight. The instruments were
sappan, or huge gong, which was suspeD-
ded from above and operated by lusty
Chinaman with brazen drum stick, who
brought forth at every thnmp noise as of a
boiler explosion, drum the size Of dudes
hat, called koo, which was played upon
with sticks not lager than lead pencils, and
produced corresponding amount of noise;
an attenuated Chinese fiddle, with two
strings and no bow which was termed a
yesin, and emitted only timid squeak; a
teibord, or pair of cymbals, as big round as
the wheel of baby carriage, which came
together with a clang that drowned the
noise of the steam whistle; an etcthee, or
trumpet, which piped like Scotch bagpipe,
and pankoo, or base drum, whose thunder
was sufficient to drown the noise of all the
other instruments and the machinery and
engines Of the vessel A restaurateur
served dinner on the lower deck, and here
Chinaman with pig-tail and in his native
costume demonstrated the advance he had
made in the arts of civilization by shouting
to waiter "Hi, you! hully up that coffee I;
me waitee an hourp All of them ate of
American dishes, and the only Chinese edi-
bles on board were sweet lichee nuts.

following Is verbatim copy of his last
message to the Legislature:
desire to say in reference TO my vetoe Of
Senate bill file No. fifty-nine that find after
examination of the books and rekord of the
formation and organization Of School district
No. 3, of forest home and central Lake that /
did not have before me at the time, returned
the bill, was missenformed in relation to the
facts, Ia the case, with the exception Of few
minor cases, the district was properly formed
and the organization was regular / find at the
time of the organization there were 16 children
in the district at the time it was formed and
over twenty now. and as there seems to be no
good reason why this District Should not be
allowed to pay It's debts and send its children
TO School / desire this bill Should pass over my
vetoe, as mere matter of Justice.

AN inquiry of manufacturers made by the
Lowell Courier into the cases of the present
depression of the wooden manufacture shows
that one OF The chief causes for the present
dullness is considered to be the change in
the tariff: The reduction in the
duty is expected to largely increase i'm
portation oolen goods, and the shutting
down of corresponding production here IL
Inevitable. The changes in the duties on
manufactured goods and raw material will,
In the long run, be metby the manufacturers
no doubt, but the shock experienced shows
how cautiously tariff tinkering should be in
dulged in. And one of the elements of I'M
certainty now is the doubt as to what may
happen politically-which means doubt as to
future tariff legislation.
