time came to bury IL from sight, they
brought her child to the bedside she
hardly Quilted for q last kiss, and 2
last look.
The dreary time crept on, without
| one ray OF hope or comfort, while the
woman she watched trembled between
life and death. How long II lasted she
could not tell; to her tortured heart II
seemed m age OF suffering. But stars
illumed this night OF anguish. In
dreams that visited her brief sleep, q
clorified, radiant little being came that
called her mother, bringing with II
subtle. holy influences which taught
the blessed truths Of Christian forgivc-
ness, charity and love, and . voice fell
from Divine heights, saying what\ts
said with mortal lips over eightcc~
hundred years ago: Little children
love one another" II would rouse hel
frou her sleep to watch with agony toe
deem for words for some stray CLEAN
81 the reason she had q~uenchcd, which
might never return, and to say oveI
and over, with streaming tears too
will forgive"
As the days and nights wcns On,
marked change came over her, born Q
these subtle influences. these divin'
teachings. A great love filled ne
heart for the woman who had wronge'
her. and whom she had wronged,
love springing from the Christ-lov
{, that was born within her, deeper
stronger, UNNECESSARILY more tcnde
: than the old-time friendship was. 80

Government for which they fought, pre-
served their morals and the integrity OF

publican press and some military writers
have, with zeal that outruns the facts,
insisted that Lees is a secondary place
even among American Generals, but in
Europe, where military science has at
tanned its highest conditions and where it
is priced above partisanship, Wolseley's
estimate Of Lee prevails and his fame
grows brighter with the years. We
are proud of this bu, in no spirit OF sec

Moltko has said as much, and 80 has the
Count de Paris, whose work on the war
was never questioned at the North until
he referred TO Leo in terms OF deserved
oulogy. Theodore Roosevelt, who could
not rebut the statements Of Gen. Wolseley,
which We publish in another column, has
attacked him and deals with his merits as
a soldier in critical article, which appears
in the current number Of Nurdy's Maya

Com uunp.

The actual changes in the number Of
spindlcs in operation in the United States
the past year ARE probably small. In the
south there has undoubtedly been a con-
siderable addition, rs we have already
shown; and in the NORTH NJ the season
closes, thcrcis evidence Of movement Ia
progress which Is likely 20 make n sub
stnntal increase In the total II all the ell
terpriscs started ARE completed ns planned.
Even In the west there are new mills IN
prospect, and we see no reason why the
development in that section should not
grow with the couniry's growth, ss some
OF the southwestern States arr well situated
for obtaining the raw material cheaply. In
the matter OF grain and Hour bags ~ least
there could he n saving II that section
manufactured what II consumed. Daring
the past year we have been endeavoring to
obtain returns NJ tO the running spindlCs in
all the northern States. In the meantime
we leave our total Of spindlcs for thenorth
the same as last year. since we have 20 far
found nothing 60 discrcdit our running
estimate, but everything TO confirm IL. As
10 the south. there las probably been
added about 100000 spindlcs the last two
years, but there are still quite q number Of
old and small concerns which have bcets-
included In our total that are not now in
operation, and We cannot learn that there
Is any prospect OF their starting up. For
this reason We only added 5000 TO our
southern spindlcs this year, having 1885,
900 the previous three years. Tho num-
beers, therefore, for this year and previous
years la the north aud south are about as
