ONE AMONG THE SHADOWS.

I'm alone among the shadows,
And I'm waiting for the light
To chase away the visions
OF the dresry, weary night.
Like q sightless child deserted
My uncertain way grope-
I'm alone among the shadows,
But my soul is full OF hope.
I'm alone among the shadows,
But my doubts and fears are past,
For feel the sweet assurance
That the light will come at last;
A ray from hopes bright beacon
Comes through the gloom TO me
I'm alone among the shadows,
But my heart is light and free.
I'm alone among the shadows,
But l hear a sweet voice say.
" You would not prize the daylight
Ifft were always day."
And SO I'll strive in earnest
To keep from error free,
And He who strengthened the weak
viii surely comfort me.

A sMOKELESs FIRE.

From lrOn.l
Attempts to prevent the formation OF
smoke have hitherto mainly had refer
ence to the fire CRATE or the boiler fur
mace. Attention is now being given to
the fuel itself, and an invention is
being brought out tor treating coal
chemically, so as to prevent smoke
hGing formed or noxious gases ueing
evolved. In this invention a solution
of certain chemicals is prepared, IN
which the coal is dipped The effect is
stated to be tho concentration and
hardening of its constituents.
The effect OF burning coal thus treat
ed was plainly seen at demonstration
recently, at which we were present.
There were two large fires burning in
open CRATES, one ted with ordinary coal
and the other with the treated coal.
The ordinary coal gave, of course, the
usual results OF smoke and flame, while
the fire of the treated coal was all but
smokeless but bright, with plenty OF
flame. The fire, in fact, was well
maintained, and good heat was
thrown out II is stated that the treat
ment of the coal costs 6d per ton, all
expenses included, and that the coal is
greatly improved thereby, 80 that one
ton is equal TO twenty-five cwt. in use.

DICKENS HOUSE FOR SALE.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

From the Philadelphia InquIrer,j
Gsd's Hill is for sale. The house that
Dickens coveted all his life until he got
it, the mark of his ambition, the cher
ished hope of his manhood, the spot
associated with all that is best of Eag-
lands great, popular novelist, ,is offered
to any one who cares to invest $SS, 900
in it,tor that Is the price set on 1t. Prob
ably some American with q reverence
for Dickens will buy it. Englishmen
no longer have reverence for Dickens.
They do not read his books; they do
not visit his house; they do not cherish
his memory. No other writer since
Shakespeare has 30 shown them to
themselves, and once he was their idol.
Now none so poor to do him reverence.
The change does not speak well for his
countrymeD; but we can not stop to
talk about that now; the monument of
one of the worlds best writers is for
sale, and some of his admirers should
purchase it and keep it from that re-
vulsion of sentiment to him which is
sure TO come.
