Romans Well, Flushing, Long Island is not
likely to be OF much benefit TO the colored
race. AT the Sunday afternoon services there
were 200 white people and only twenty colored
people present, the whites all men and the
coored all women. The preacher remarked
this as a remarkable feature. A collection
was ordered and counted before the assembly.
Alter ,orting out fifty buttons there was just
Sl.50 in coppers and nickles. The preacher
said the church was poor and that they must
pony up at least fifty cents more or the whole
thing would bust" up. Another levy upon
the worshipers yielded eighty cents, without
counting the buttons. The preacher now dis.
covered that his people-white and black -
wer strolling off in the woods over hill. He
followed them and found black man and q

asked the publicans to leave the ground and

Pull Down Your Vest.

When you stand before the people,
To expose your intellect,
And teach the ignorant masses
Twice as much as they suspect,
Don't you let it hurt your feelings,
Or disturb your lofty crest,
If some gentle little hoodlum
Should remark, Pull down your vest.
III you think you are the greatest
" " no has lived upon the earth,
Aud in every kind of knowledge
You alone supply the dearth,
just go ahead in teaching,
With all your youthful zest,
But don't worry if somebody
Should remark Pull down your vest.
You man feel that you are gifted
Much more than other men.
In every kind of labor,
From the shovel to the pen:
Therefore go dashin5 at it,
Make it pleasant for the rest,
But takeit very gently
When they yell, Pull down your vest.
When you have gained in wisdom
The portion lacking now,
And give yourself that teaching
You're anxious to endow
Upon all other persons.
In your young and green bequest;
You will never need another
To remark. "Pull down your vest"

When the summer is departing and

tints the cloudless, MONDAY skies, and
the sunsets give us glimpses of the walls
of paradise; when the song birds have de-
parted to region less austere, and their
melody, mellfluous, greets no more the
longing ear; when the wild goose flying
southwark of approaching winter warns,
and the earth's ripe fraitage, garnered,
safely lies in sheltering barns; when the

The autumn days are coming fast,
Well soon be past September,
And shortly will the wintry blast
Remind us of December.
Ah, soon the scar, the yellow leaf
Will fall beneath the treeses,
And soon the house will echo with,
The sound OF ono who sneezes.
And will search the closets wall
For winter things he loses
And asks his wife if she can tell,
Where are his overshoes.

With the improved machinery now
used. says the New York StatiOner, ten
hands will make about 4, 900 lead pencils
of the cheaper grade per day. The cedar
comes chiefly from Florida, and it is re-
ceived in slabs of pencil length, one for
it, as may be seen by examining the end
of any lead pencil. Four little grooves
are sawed in the thicker slabs, for the
leads, which are kept in hard glue, and
grooves. Then the thin slab is glued to
the leaden slab, and, thus united, they
are run through a mouldering machine,
four pencils coming from each slab. At
ter the ends are rasped, they are run be-
tween grOoved wheels at considerable
pressure, for the only finish they get
This Furnishes them, and they are tied in
dozens and boxed for sale, mostly in plain
wood, and of three degrees of hardness.
The graDbite used comes in a fine black
powder, and is mixed with German clay
about half and half, and then ground
with moisture, forming paste. This is
pressed in dies into lengths of four leads
which are cut, and then baked at very
high temperature. These sell at eighty
five cents, one dollar and half, and two
dollars a gross, and are very good arti-
cles, writing smoothly and evenly.
The manufacturer make about 100 per
cent. selling the pencils at eighty
cents gross, and the retailer makes a
good thing selling them at a cent apiece
The graphite costs about twenty cents a
pound, and the clay a little more than
the freight. The more clay is used in the
leads the harder they will be. The cedar
is cut mostly from fallen trees in the
Florida swamps.
