If you would make the most of life,

and trust in God and your W soul.
To love the public, to study universal
good, and to promote the interest of the

power, is the height of goodness,
and makes the temper which we call
divine.

AT Chester, Pa, on the Delaware river, G.
short distance below Philadelphia, the far
famed shipyard of John Roach is situated.
In this yard the Dolphin was constructed and
was subsequently refused by the new admins
tration as unfit for the United States navy,
for which She had been built by Roach under
a contract with the former administration.
The original contract called for the construc-
ton of five powerful steel cruisers, or gun
boats, designed to replace some of the old
craft in the navy that had become unfit for
use. The Puritan was built first, and upon
the plan of a monitor. After her the Allan
ia, Then followed the Inflated Dolphin,
whose build was more in the nature of a dis
patch boat, though she was armored and pro
| yided with fighting gear.

TILE CHICAGO.


The new secretary of the navy, Whitney,
had scarcely assumed the duties of the office
when he found, as he claimed, just reason to
reject the Dolphin for alleged serious faults
in her hull and works. Inspection of the
three other vessels by a board OF
naval officers, under his direction,
brought on almost similar results.
1t locked for q time, too, as if in addition to
this, the government meant to prosecute
Roach with a view to forcing a return of all
money paid out of the treasury by the former
administration on account of these boats. By
some understanding Roach mad an assign
ment and the new secretary stepped in with
the naval advisory board and a number of
engineers from the United States navy TO
complete the work that Roach had COM

had remained idle during the controversy be-
tween Roach and Whitney, We're again set IN

Strength for to-day is all that we need,
As there never will be q tomorrow,
For tomorrow will prove but another to-da.
With its measure of joy and Borrew.
Then why forecast the trialA of life,
With such sad and grave persistence,
And wait and watch for a crowd of ills
That as yet have no e.istence?
Strength for to-day; what a precious boon
For earnest souls who labor!
For the willing hands that minister
To the needy friend or L%eighbor.
Strength for to-day that the weary hearts
In the battle of life may quail not
Aud the eyes bedimmed by bitter tears
In their search for light may fail not.
Strength for to-day on the down hill track
For the travellers near the valley;
That up, far up, on the other side
Ere long they may safely rally.
Strength for To-day that our precious youth
Nav happily shun temptation;
And build from the rise to the set of the sun
On 3 strong and sure foundation
Strength for to-day, in house and home
To practice forbesrance sweetly;
To scatter kline words and loving deeds.
Still trusting in God completely.

SUNDAY REFLECTIONS.

The first in conversation is truth, the
next good sense, the third good humor,
and the fourth, wit.
We know me re about u feelings

understand them AZ all.
God designs that a charitable spirit
should be maintained among men,

little above it; every arrow that flies
feels the attraction of the earth.
Among men who have any sound and
sterling qualities, there is nothing SO
contagious as pure openness of heart.
1t is n1gre from oarelessness about
truth, than from Intentionally lying,
that there is SO much falsehood in the
world.
If q man empties his purse into his
head, no man can take it from him. An
investment in knowledge always pays
the best interest.

beauty. 1t has some of the best qualities
OF beauty--it attracts observation and
likes the memory.
Unhappy is be who desires to die SO
long as there remains to him any sacri-
flee to make, one JOY to create, troubles
to prevent, tears to dry.
The man who is suspicious lives in a
constant state of unhapplness. 1t would
be better. for his peace of mind to be too
trustful than too guarded.
A good conscience is q marvellous
restorative. One looks with hope to the
future when n feels Justified in turn

propeller across to where the Chicago lay.
The first move in building one of these great
cruisers is to lay a string of large oak blocks,
at given distances, along a pitched way"
Upon these a line IS stretched, and when the
blocks have been brought up to the level of
the line, the pig steel bars that form the keel
are placed in position on these blocks. Then
the drawings are brought from the draught-
ing department, in a well arranged building
near the entrance to the yards, down to the
pattern shop. Here the scale of feet is laid
out, on a very long, polished oak floor, with
chalk lines of various colors, these lines give
the shape of the vessels hull, and from them
wooden skeleton" patterns are made of each
section of the vessels hull. The wooden
patterns are now taken into the main yard
and laid out on large sheets of iron or steel,

How easy tits to give advicel
How hard sometimes to take it!
We're apt to lie upon our bed
Precisely as we make it.
We often seek a wiser head
For an astute opinion,
And yet how seldom it will thrive
Within our brains dominion.
1t never seems to fit our case,
However clearly stated;
1t robs us OF our self-esseem,
Our pride is not elated.
To tell the truth we never ask
Advice because we need it,
But to compare it with our tastes,
And If it suits, we heed it.
How simple tits to lay the rule
And draw the line! The fact liz,
We find it easier far to preach
Our sermons, than to practice.
Yet il thoHe couRsels yeu reject,
10 strict account they'll hold you,
And bring this balm to heal your wounds:
"Ahlt that's Just what l told you!" .a
But if this 'he', or she were placed

As patients, would they take these pills
They offer as physicians?

For such neglect they'll scold you,
And scothe you with this haokneyed phrase
