Patience,

If we will only have patience with Gods leading he will always show us the way as fast as We are really ready to go on. The trouble with most of us is that we want to see the path through to the end before we take the first step. We want to know before we start how we are to come out But this is not Gods way for us. A man who is travelling on dark night on a country road does not have the whole way lighted at once by the lantern he carries. It shows him only one step; but as he takes that the lantern is borne forward, and another step is lighted, and then another, and another, until, in the end, the whole way has been illuminated, and he is safe at his destination. Gods word. as guid- ing light, is a lamp under our feet, not a sun flooding hemisphere. In the dark est night it will always show us the next step. Then, when we have taken that, it will show us another; and thus on, till it brings us out into the full clear sun light of the coming day We need to learn well the lesson of patience if we would have God guide us forward New York Observer.

What We Ought to Feel.

1t IS possible to accept the truths of the Gospel system, to have place in the church and entertain hope of heaven, and yet not to feel that sense of obligation to the once suffering Saviour who has redeemed us which we ought to possess. If we felt as thankful as we might for the salvation Christ has pro- cured for us, we should be found con- stantly like that grateful stranger who "fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks"

THE telegraph this morning contains
details of the arrest in Chicago of officers

mails for fraudulent purposes. 1t is al

out of hundreds OF thousands OF dollars
by this institution in every state

any sensible person that such a name of

Rubber and Rubber Goods.

How much pure rubber is contained
in the manufactured article? About 70
per cent. The best Para gum costs
ninety-fve cents a pound, SO you see
rubber boots and shoes cannot be made
for nothing. In the smallest rubber
shoe made there are about four ounces
of pure rubber, and from that to prob
ably four pounds in a pair of rubber
boots.
Old rubbers are ground up, lining and
all, into what we call rag carpet, and it
is used for insoles
The work is nearly all done by hand,
and in the factories are employed young
children, men and women. A bootmak-
er gets twenty cents pair for making
them, and a good man can turn out
from ten to twelve pairs day.
There are between fifteen and twenty
rubber boot and shoe factories in the
country, with a total capacity of over
10000 pairs of boots and shoes day.
There are four factories having ca
pacity of over $4,000 pairs each, and
one which has a capacity of 10000 pairs.

Our esteemed evening contemporary,
the Express, in paying one of those gra'
cious compliments for which it is noted,
confounds Colonel Shepard's paper, the
New York Mail and Express, with the
New York Evening Post. 1t was this
latter journal, and not the Mail and Ex-
press, over which the illustrious poet
and journalist, William Cullen Bryant,
80 long and so ably presided. Colonel
Shepard may have a unique and inter
estine individuality, as our Los Angeles
contemporary intimates, but outside of
the female members of the Vanderbilt
family, into which he married, few peo-
pie have found it out. 1t is quite for
tunate thing for the Evening Post that
Shepard has not succeeded Bryant, and
it is fortunate for Shepard, also, for the
dead poet and journalist would have
1oomed over him as would Hyperion
over a Satyr. But perhaps our con-
temporary intended the allusion to be

The most important business trans
acted by the council yesterday was the
instruction given to the city attorney to
begin actions looking to the forfeiture OF
the franchises of both the City and the
Citizens Water company. The ground
upon which action will be taken against
the latter is the failure of that corpora
tion to accept the councils schedule of
water rates. The understanding is that
If the company shall cut its rates to con-
form to the councilmanic programme be-
fore the next meeting of the council, the
suit as to it will be suspended. As to
the Citizens water company, there is a
double complaint. The first is that the
rates promulgated by the council have
been exceeded, and the second is that
the supply OF water has been grossly in
sufficient. 1t will be interesting to note
how the parties of the second part shall
meet the issue.

Not Exactly a Claquer.

At Chamberlin's the other night a
party of distinguished FOUNDERS were
exchanging gossip. Somebody began to
tell of Eugene Field, of his various tricks
and quips and witticisms. There was a
story about his astonishing watch. It
seems he went to the trouble of procur-
ing an enormous silver watch, the size
of a rutabaga turnip. Somewhere within
the vast interior of this instrument he
had placed contrivance of such nat
ure that when one turned the stem as
though to wind it up it gave forth loud
and rasping noise like unto that of ten
locusts saving their resounding legs at
once. 1t was startling and an awful
racket, calculated to shock nervous
person and to irritate the most phleg-
matte.
Armed with this engine of torture,
Field used to repair to theaters where
dreadful and heartrending plays were in
process of evolution, and then, at har-
rowing points, when the villain was un-
folding his hellish plot, or the virtuous
maiden defying ruthless prosecutor,
and everybody was hanging in suspense
upon the same, Field would unsheathe
his watch and turn the crank with in
dustry. He always broke up the tragedy

A Liberal Cleric.

An Austin colored pastor named Bledsc

Jim Webster. He was passing the houss
of Jim Webster, on Austin avenue, when
the proprietor called him in.
Come, parson, and hab piece OBJ cake

The reverend gentleman accepted the
invitation. There was a large uncut cake
on the table, and the clergyman was urged
to cut it.
"Whar shall cut it?" he asked, taking
up the knife and looking at the cake in a
bewildered sort of way.
'You kin jess cut hit whareber you
pleases, parson."
"Which2 Say dat ober once NOAH"

he remarked fervently:

At REST.

Poor grill
. Fold her hands, cross her feet,
Leave her to her slumber sweet;
She hath earned 1t we'll.
Every day for many years
Cause had she for bitter tears, :,
And they daily fell.
See the holiows in her cheek.
Marks of woe she could not speak; +
See her sunken eye.
Worn and wasted is her frame,
None too soon her slumber camo;
Touch her tenderly.
Hard as iron was her fate;
Life for her was desolate,
Full of yearnings vain.
Sympathy and loving care
Fell not to poor Mary's share,
Wake her not again.
All she trusted faithless proved
Every creature that she loved
Shortly changed, or died.
Good it is for her to rest,
Seldom, sure, was human breast
More severely tried.
Often has she slept before,
Dreaming woe was hers no more,
Life and sorrow past;
But from such delusive sleep
Ever more she woke to weep
Peace is hers at last.
Poor grill
True and tender hearted one;
Hard it was that death alone
Comfort had for her.
Fold her hands, cross her feet.
Lay her, robed all white and sweet,
In the sepulchre.
