The Awakening.
rEror, +bn Navr N1,.k T-I,,,ns


Great things are gong on this morn
iu;. Out IN the orchards, under the
carse bark of the apple trees; over in
th, woods, beneath the rind of the birch
ami the maple, the chestnut and ash;
under the dead leaves on the hillside.
were the arbutus is struggling into
lif; down in the meadows, where the
bDwn grasses are Frightening; out on
th lawn, where the emerald is just be-
ginning to assert itself over natures
winter wear Of somber gray, without
ndse or friction or any visible move
mint, millions of horse power are at
wrk. There's stir III the grave of the
cccus; the dead spears Of last years
lily of the valley begin to feel a gentle
pessure from below; In tufts of yellow
gass green blades thrust up their heads:
riots of the dandelion rustic in antici-
ption Of a coming coronation, and on
very fiber of the oak and elm a force
which no man may number and no hu-
nan power resist is marching straight
Upward.
A great army of sappers and miners
las been burrOwIng under us. IT is the
anne whose hurryIng flight we saw in
asst October's golden glories, that hung
lpon the sunach its fiery defiance and
iaunted at us yellow and crimson from
birch and maple, as It suddenly fell back
beyond the further ridges of the hills;
he same army that having stormed and
possessed the world, and made its brief
land merry season of carousal, went off
lin highest feather, leaving behind all
the storebouses it had endowed with
plenty, all the granaries it had filed to
bursting. The forests bowed their
beads and moaned, and the world put on
sombre garments at its departure. And
now it has come back. The work of its
sappers and miners is beginning to ap-
pear. They are pushing up their spears
IN meadow and field; they are climbing
to the battlements IN forest and orchard.
They hover on the hillsldes, and pitch
their tents IN the valleys. Their legions
are tramping noIselessly but constantly
into the tree-tops, each with its folded
banner. Presently, when each has
reached its station, even to the furthest
twig, there will be a flntter in the orch
ards, aud when the world awakes it viii
be to fud itself once more possessed,
with the banners waving over it, of the
apple and the peach.

An ARMY Story,

From the Army and Navy Journal
Gov. Eli Murray, of Utah, tells this
excellent story: | shall never forget the
amount of money it cost us to keep an
old woman from crying herself to death.
OF course we were obliged to subsist off
the country as we went along, and we
naturally took about the best in sight.
One day we took possession of chicken
ranch kept by an old lady, who stood by
the gate with broom and threatened to
lick all of Sherman s forces if they did
not move on. Now, chickens were con-
sidered officers meat, and as we were in
fernally hungry we went for those hens
pretty lively. When she saw that her
fowls were being caught and killed she
keeled right over and began to cry. Pre-
sently she began to scream, and finally
you could hear that woman's voice clear
to Atlanta. / sent the surgeons in to
quiet her, but they failed, and then the
officers took turns, but the more atten-
ton paid her the more she howled. |
then got pretty nervous over the internal
| noise. because the whole army would
hear it and they might suppose some
body was torturing the woman. Finally
Sherman rode up and asked what it was
/
all about. When we told him he sid:
s'Give her bushel of confederate bonds
for her hens and see if that won't stop
her." Acting oa this hint. | proceeded
| to business. We had captured con-
| federate train the day before with
81, 900, 900 of confederate money, and ]
hunted up the train at once. The money
was worth about two cents on the dollar.
Well, [ stuffed about half million dol,
lars into an old carpetsack and marched
| into the house.
q Madam, said I, opening the sack
"I1l give you $500, 900 to quit thi.
noise" 1t was as still as death in {
minute and then her face expanded in &
broad smile. I laid the package of note
on the table, and never saw sodelighte'
a woman.

whv Ayers Cherry Pectoral is so Perfect Medicine

Because it is not only the most effective
medicine for the uses to which it is
designed, but. owing to the enormous
quantities in which it is made, is sold at
so low a price that it is placed within
the reach of every household.
Because it is an active curative agent,
that must be taken by drops, as pre-
scribed in the directions accompanying
each bottle, and not mere palliative
syrup that may be swallowed by
mOuthfuls.

The Manufacture OF Sheet Lead In
China.


The making of sheet lead for the lin
ing of tea chests, ETC., is somewhat inn
portant industry of Hong Kong. 1t is
made principally in sundry establish
ments to the westward. On entering
one, the workmen will be seen with
shears employed in cutting out the sheets
of lead into the required sizes and shapes.
The shears are simply large pair of
scissors, firmly fixed to solid block of
wood some two feet in height. The
lower blade of the shears terminates i'm
square piece of iron, instead of being
pointed, as is the upper blade. The
sheets of lead will also be observed to be
of small size and somewhat irregular in
shape, and this arises from the method
of manufacture, rs will subsequently be
seen, Going further into the shop will
be seen an iron pan raised twelve inches
or so above the ground and carefully
finished off. Beneath this iron pan is a
furnace, and at the side of the pan next
the wall is a ilue communicating with it.
In this pan the lead is melted, and when
judged to be hot enough, the workman
takes two of the large square paving tiles,
which may be seen almost anywhere in
the colony, and these are then smoothly
and carefully covered with several layers
of unsized paper. Having placed these
two tiles before him, one above the other,
the workman raises the upper tile with
his left hand and, taking ladlc of the
proper size, in his right, he dips it in the
melted lead and then pours its contents
on TO the lower tile. He then drops the
upper tile and quickly presses The lead
out into the form of n sheet. The paper
being bad conductor of heat the lead
does not solidify Immediately after it
leaves the ladlc, and, us by long prac-
tice the workman always ladies' out cX-
actly the same quantity of lead, the sheets
vary but little in size or thickness. -A3e
