Short Sermons.

I long ago dun made up my mind
dat average humanity expects too
much on dis airth, an dat we am all
too selfish to really enjoy ourselves.
If we plan fur huckleberry excur-
shun we look fur dry weather, no mat
ter how much our naybur's con an
taters want rain.
If dar am any danger of spring frosts
we expeck dey will fly ober our garden
an light down on somebody elses truck
patch.
If we take in tramp over night we
expect him to be honest an grateful.
If anybody else takes in one an gifts
beat, our vardict am dat it sarved 'em
right.
We doan' know of ony pertickler rea-
son why lightnin' should strike our
ban, but we kin furnish half dozen
reasons why it should burn bans all
around us.
We expeck cyclones now an den in
dc material order of fings, but we doan'
expeck 'em to hit our eand of de county.
We am sorry fur sich people as was in
de way, but dey orter bin som'ers else,
you know.
We expect to git de big eand of de
trade when we swap hosses wild man,
but if we diskiver dat we hev been
cheated we want de law to punish him
for swindler.
Moas' of us am willin' to take our
chances on matrimony, If de gal am
good-lookin' or de young man has cash,
but when de rollin'- pins begin to fly we
blame our friends dat dey didn't warn
us.
If we lose our pocket-book we argy
dat de pusson who find it am as bad as
thief If he doan' return it. If we find
some one else's pocket-book we-well,
it comes like pullin' teeth to let go.
We respeck our naybur, but we want
our beets an cabbage an onions to keep
about q week ahead of his.
We begin in October to predict q
mild winter, an if we happen to git
one we kick like steer de mex summer
bekase we hev to pay mo- fur ice.
1 tell We, my frens, when come to
realize jist what queer piece of clay
we am, an how much workin' ober we
need to come out perfeck, can't won

The Paper Tree.

The principal material used in the
manufacture of paper used in Tonkin
is the paper tree, which grows in abund-
ance on the mountains in the environs
of Sontay. The dried bark is macer-
ated and then rubbed up in mortars, so
as to reduce it to fine pulp, the latter
being extended with certain quantity
of water, in order to form q clear paste
which is sized with an infusion made
from the shavings of the gomao tree.
The paper is manufactured sheet by
sheet, by means of delicate bamboo
screens, which the operators alternate
ly dip into the paste, taking out there
with thin sheet of paper, which is de-
posted upon board. At the end OF
the day these sheets are put into press
in order to extract the moisture from
them, and are then dried by placing
them, one by one, upon hot masonry
wall, after which they are put up in
packages and trimmed. Each opera
tive makes 1000 sheets q day. The
thickness Of the paper depends on the
consistency of the paste, and at one es.
tablishment as many as $4,000 sheets
are capable of being produced daily.

UNCLE SANS NAVY.

what the Chief OF the B ureau of Con-
struction and Repair Says of It.
The Chief of the Naval Bureau of Con-
struction and Repair, in his annual report,
to the Secretary of the Navy, says that the
Lackawanna, Tennessee, and Shenandoah
are beyond repair, thus reducing the num-
Der of serviceable vessels in the navy to
two frst-rate, ten second-rate, twenty
third-rate, and seven fourth rate vessels,
the latter class including two torpedo rams.
The Franklin, Wabash, Minnesota, and
New York, all frst-rate vessels, are set
down as requiring extensive repairs, and
thirteen ironclads require more or less re-
pairs. In addition the naval list comprises
thirteen iron and twelve wooden sailing
vessels used for receiving and transport
ships.
The new vessels completed, building, or
authorized to be built are summed up as
follows: One (the Dolphin), complete;
two (the Boston and Atlanta), armament
incomplete five (the Chicago and the
monitors), incomplete; five (the Baltimore,
Charleston, and Newark. and two gun
boats, under advisement; and four (an
armored cruiser, battle ship. pneumatic
dynamite boat, and torpedo boat, not
| yet designed. To this list can be added
the Alert and the Ranger, four guns each;
the Monocacy, paddle wheel gunboat, six
guns; Michigan, paddle-wheel gunboat,
four guns; Alarm, one gun; Intrepid tyet
to be completely, gunboat, two thirteen
inch guns. The remainder of the IRON
built vessels now in the service consist Of
thirteen river and harbor monitors with
single screws rated as fourth-rates, which
could not be got ready for service without
an expenditure of $500, 600 under this bu-
reau alone.
| OF the second-rates the Trenton, Omaha,
and Vandalia can probably be continued in
service ten years longer, the Lancaster and
Brooklyn six years, and the Hartford,
Richmond and Pensacola five years.
OF the third rates the Michigan can be
continued in the service for ten years, the
Adams, Alliance, Essex, Enterprise, Talla-
poosa. Yantic, and Nipsic for six years,
and the Juniata, Ossipee, Quinneboug
Swatara, Galena, Marion, Kearsarge, and
| Iroquois five years longer.

CRAWLING MICHIGAN, THURSDAY DECEMBER

-Yes; and, Mrs. Smith, you need not
hurry about the lace. l don't think Ill
need it, but I'll pay you for tho work now.
And-you ought TO have fire-good- day."
Before Mrs. Smith could get her glasses
on TO examine the bill in her lap, her visitor
had gone.
"Oh, Lulul" she exclaimed, ats twen-
ty-dollar bill; she's made mistake"
But Lulu wiped away tear from her
wan cheek, and smiled up in her mothers
face.
"No mistake, mother; the beautiful lady
meant 1t for US. / saw her eyes we're full
of tears. Heaven bless her tender heart!"
II presume the birthday party and
so on is being rushed along" said Mr..
Strong, as his daughter entered the dining
room. "How big check is to be called
for, petp Don't be too hard on your old
father"
Nellie did not reply at once; she took
her place at the table, glanced over the
dainty appointments, the snowy damask
silken fine, the costly silver, the beautiful
flowers, the rare fruits, and all the luxuries
that wealth can give. Then her eyes wan

II thought SO, smiled her father. "What
a tell-tale face you possess. What's the
latest freak? out with it."
"Oh, Nellie, everything was perfect; in
vitations all ready to send out. You're not
going to spoil our party" cried her sisters.
81 hope not" said Nellie; "but first
want to tell you all about my visit to Thin
BILE Alley"
She told it as it was, and at its close the
youngest of the girls exclaimed:
81 know now, Nellie; you thought what
big sensation your party would make in
Thimble Alley"
"Yes,' said Nellie, "if papa is willing"
"My eldest born," said her father fondly,
"your papa's purse has long string, still
it might be stretched too far. always did
dislike the fuss of a party, and / guess
can trust your prudent head to control
your tender heart. Give the Thimble-
Alleyites generous dinner on your birth
day and what you will. I'll see that DR..
Moore calls upon the lace-mender's
daughter"
Not fairy hands, oh, no! but human,
loving hands that did the work. some of
them rough and black that shoveled in the
coal into the empty boxes; some OF them
small and chapped that helped along their
dinner. But when the stars shone out, not
one in that large tenement building went
to sleep cold or hungry on that holiday
night.
"Mother," said Lulu softly, "the doctor
says will soon be we'll enough to wheel
my chair all around, and that possibly,
some day, I may walk about with the help
of crutches."
"Yes, my darling, ! know"

Strong's noble deeds, and praised her ten

both"
"Amen," breathed her mother tearfully.

BY PAUL n. HAYNE.


Sad mortal couldst thou but know
What truly II means TO die.
Tho wings OF thy soul would glow,
And the hopes Of thy heart beat high;
Thou wouldst turn from the Pyrrhonist
And laugh their jargon to scorn.
As the babble OF midnight foo's
Ere the morning of truth be born:
But !, earth's madness above.
In kingdom OF stormless breath
/ gaze ON the glory Of love
In the unveiled face Of death.
I tell thee his face is fair
AS the moon-bows amber rings,
And the gleam in his unbound hair
Like the flush OF a thousand Springs;
His smile IL the f6thomless beam
OF the star-shines sacred light,
When the Summers Of Southland dream
In the lap OF the holy Night:
For l, earths blindness above,
In q kingdom OF halcyon breath
i gaze ON the marvel OF love
In the unveiled face OF Death.
In his eyes a heaven there dwells-
But they hold few mysteries now
And his pity for earth farewells
Half burrows that shining brow;
Souls taken from Times cold tide
And the tears of their grief are dried
Ere they enter the courts OF rest:
And STILL earth's madness above,
In kingdom OF stormless breath,
/ gaze ON light that is love
In the unveiled face OF Death.
Through the splendor OF stars impearled
In the glow of their far-off grace,
He Is soaring world by world,
With tho souls in his strong embrace;
Lone ethers unstirrod by wind,
At the passage of Death grow sweet,
With the fragrance that floats behind
The flash OF his winged retreat
And 1, earth's madness above.
Mid kingdom of tranquil breath,
Have gazed on the luster Of love
In the unveiled face Of Death.
But beyond the stars and the sun
can follow him still on his way,
Till the pearl-white gates are won
In the calm of the central day.
Far voices OF fond acclaim
Thrill down from the place of souls,
As Death, with touch like flame,
Uncloses the goal of goals:
And from heaven of heavens above
God speaketh with bateless breath
My angel Of perfect love
Is the angel men call Deathl

The Hon. Charles Francis Adams, Sr.,
died at his residence in Boston on Sunday,
Nov. 21. Mr.. Adams mental and physical
powers had been declining for nearly
decade. Until the very last, however, he
was a quiet, dignifed gentleman, who sim
ply took no interest in what was going on
about him. His intellectual collapse was
SO complete that for fully two years he had

except, perhaps, his wife. Nothing reused
him except an occasional outburst of mer-
riment in his presence, when he would join
sympathetically in the general laughter.
There were no offensive features of his in
trinity whatever, the outward effect being
simply complete reticence.
No apprehension of his immediate death
was felt until the day preceding his de-
mise, when Mr.. Adams showed slight
symptoms of fever. A Aphysician, who was
called at once, said his wasted strength
would not be able to resist the attack, mild
as it was. Mr.. Adams fingered some six
teen hours, when his life left him as
quietly as a breath of air extinguishes
candle flame. The end, when it came,
was simply the fiickering out of the last
spark of vital fire, which had been fading
away SO gradually that the change from
day to-day was not perceptible.

The convicted anarchists will not be

place at the spring term of the cout, to be
held at Ottawa. and the final decision will
