A SONG OF DREAMS.

A dream OF a merry child at play
Blue eyed and fair, frolicsome, gay,
Glad as the birds in the springtime are,
Sorrows afloat like clouds afar,
Careless OF trouble, untouched by fear,
Singing her way through the golden year.
4 dream OF a woman, old and gray,
Wrinkied and bent, vending her way
Lomesomely toward the last missions.
Where the grim, dark shadow OF death il
thrown,
Storm stained and weary, aud worn with
care
The candle OF life at its final fare.
4 dream of grave in churchyard lone,
Neglected, drear, with weeds o'eryrown,
With only the chirp OF the cricket's song,
As it sings in the grass the whole night long,
To break the silence that brood 50 deep
Where the worn out SOU and boiy sleep.

DROWNED In THE HUDSON.
Five Pleasure Seekers Perish Near
Hastings N Y.

Five young people out OF party of six en-
joying sail in small sloop on the Hudson,
near Hastings. y. Y, were drowned by the
sinking Of the boat, the accident apparently
being due TO the fact that the planklng of the
boat, which was sixteen years old, gaTe way
and let in the water.
Ex-senator Treanor, of Yonkers, Y. Y,
saw the boat iu.distreSS. He at once climbed
into small boat, and, with a laborer pulled
out to her. Before they arrived the boat
lurched, plunged her nose IN breaker, and
went down head first.
Then young mans head appeared above
the water and was grabted by the hair. He
was hauled aboard and showed signs of life.
The young man revived and in couple Of
hours was able to tell MS story.
He could not realize the circumstances at
first, and did nothing but exclaim:
Il did it. / invited them. L don't want
tolive! 1t was my partyl They are all
drowned! can't telegraph Sadie. want
to die!"
Then he said he was the only survivor of a
party Of six, two Young ladies' three young
men, including himself and his own four
year-Old son Sylvester.
The party had been arranged "a week be-
fore. They were to go out for an afternoons
sail About 10 O'Clock the party started for
Piermont, where the boat lay. 1t was
twenty foot cabin slOop. 1t had no ballast
aboard, so they put in a number of large
round stones 1t was also part full of water,
which they attributed to recent rains. They
Eailed it out. After they had got started
they noticed more water in the boat, but
thought it some which had escaped notice
under the deck before the boat was ballasted
and loaded. They bailed it out and thought
nothing of the leakage.
The wind very fresh and the water
rough. They had mainsail and lib drawing,
AS they approached Hastings the boat acted
queerly. 1t seemed to drag, and Mangham
threw out lot of ballast. He brought about
on the port tack and the ballast rolled. The
boat appeared to be filing, and the occupants
screamed He shouted to them to jump out
and hang on to the side, but they were terri
fed. He jumped himself, grabbing his little
boy as he did SO. He got an arm over the
mast, and with his hand seized Miss Butler.
Then the boat went down, and he knew no
more. The survivors, name was Jake Man.
CHAN of Tenahy, n. j. The rest of the party
consisted of his son, Sylvester, four years Of
age, a Miss Elizabeth Butler. aged twenty,
also of Tenafy, Miss Nettie VOORHEES,, aged
twenty two, of Creekskill, and John Demon
est, twenty six, and Mr.. Derringer, an art
tst, both Of the same village.

Valerie;

But valerie's dark eyes were blind with
tears; how selfish, cruel, ungrateful she
had beenl and yet, even while she resented
his interference because he despised and
condemned her, her heart had leaped with
in her that he had cared so much for her
safety. With a choking sob, she stretched
out her hand to him.
"Oh, Colonel Beauregard, please forgive
mel or yht to be so grateful, and not an
CRY. cont think you want to thwart
me-"
But Max Beauregard clasped the out
stretched hand and pressed his lips to it
with passion that for moment mastered
him.
"Hush" he said; "you try me too much
-" He stopped abruptly, released her
hand, and turned away, riding on some
PAGES without word, fighting a fierce bat
tie with himself. When he looked round
again 1t was with smile--the old sweet
smile, but graver, sadder now-and he
spoke very gently and quietly. Then you
forgive me; and i, if you will have it So"
for she shook her head at his words, for
give you; and so-we are quits"
She answered Eyes" very soberly; not
that she agreed that he had anything to
ask forgiveness for land he knew she did
mott, but because she was afraid to dis
agree. ThAs kiss on her hand was burning
into her heart, and making every nerve
tremble She only breathed freely when,
putting their horses to the trot, they gained
the point where the gully terminated, and

Legislature.
By Mr.. Reed, an act to regulate and
tax fire, marine, life and other insu-
rance companies. It is similar to the
bill offered in the Council by Mr..
Convey.
Mr.. Helm presented a petition from
D. r. Bigelow, asking the passage of a
law exempting from taxation all farm
and unimproved lands in incorporated
cities not laid out in town lots.
Mr.. Mcmillan, a memorial asking
that the Colville Indian reservation be
restored to the public domain. The
reservation contains 5000 square
miles and 500 Indian inhabitants
passed to print.
Mr.. Keane, petitions from citizens OF
King county, asking for the passage OF
a law providing for equal taxation.
The Judiciary committee reported a
substitute for the bill to authorize a
school district in Clark county to Dor
row money. The bill provides that
whenever the directors of any school
district shall have erected school
house in accordance with any special
law, and the district is indebted there
for, the board may levy an annual tax
sufficient to pay tenth of the indebt-
edness and accrued interest. The law
is not to amend the general law about
school taxes, and kept as special
fund. The bill was passed under sus-
pension of the rules.
The House went into committee of
the Whole, Humes in the chair, to
consider The repeal of the gross earn
ings tax law, under the Council bill
which simply provides for repeal of
the law, and the House substitute
which repeats the law and provides for
taxation of railroads by direct levy,
and to tax gross earnings. A long
discussion of the tax question followed
which was participated in by ARA

The Making OF Glass Tubes

"How is glass tubing made ~ said
reporter to +, large dealer.
"Well, il will not take very ioag
tell you all ! know about il, bus its
manufacture Is surprisingly simple.
The glass blower takes smaliquan-
tity of melted glass from his pot with
his blowing tube, rolls it slightly on
a marble slab to give it cylindrical
form; he then add small quantity
of glass froln'the same pot and blows
the enlarged mass while rolling It,
taking great pains to keep the shape
cylindrical. Ii the tubes of large
caliber are required, the inside di-
ameter Of the cylinder is enlarged
aud the glass is allowed to cool
slightly before drawing. For tubes
of very small CALDER, such as there
mometer tnbes, the internal diameter
is decreased and the glass is used
very warm.
In making piece of glass tubing
the assistant places ball OF glass
cylinder by aid of his blowing tube.
Now the men, each holding an end
of the glass cylinder by means OF
their blowing tubes, begins to sepa-
rate, walking backward. The cylin-
der is thus lengthed, and at the same
time is thus made smaller ia diane
ter. When the tube has attained
the right size it is generally too
warm and soft to admit Of laying it
down without destroying it's shape !;
it is then cooled BY means Of fan.
When il is sufficiently cooled, 1t is
laid upon series of equidistant par
allel blocks of uniform length, where
II remains until cool 1t is then cut
into lengths with diamond or file.
If the tubes are required to resist
great pressure or changes of temper
allure, they are annaled, by plunging
them into boiling linseed oil, and
then cooled. '--Nei0 York NAL and

WHERE NAY REST BE FOUND !

Tell me, O aged man,
Have you viewed the landscape DER
Do you not from some favored spot
Where mortais weep no more
Some calm and pleasant dell,
Some place where man IS blessed,
Where free from toll and pain
The weary soul may rest
His head dropped, lips whispered low,
Breast heayed for pity as he answered
sNo ~
Tell me, o gentle youth.
While ringlets on thy forehead play,
Know'st thou some beautiful spot
Some green isle far away,
Where wretehed man may lind
The bliss for which he signs
Where pain and sorrow cannot come
And friendship never dies
His cheeks were pale, teaIs began TO flow.
Gazed sadly at me, as be answered-'NoV
Tell me, o beauteous maid,
With dimpled cheeks and smiling lace,
Hast thou not found lovely vale
That sleeps in earth's embrace
Tell me, in all thy ways,
Hast thou not seen some earthly spot
Where miserable man
Might find happier lot
She yelled her face, withdrew in woe,
And a voice sweet, but sad, responded
s'No ~
Tell me, o sweet babe--it smiled.
Then, tell me. O Hope and Faith,
Is there no resting place
From sorrow, sin and death
Is there no happy spot
Where mortals may be blessed,
Where grief may be forgot,
And the weary soul find rest

mortals given,
