PATIENCE.

Be patientl Easy words 20 speak
While Ilcnty ills the cup OF life,
While health brings roses 10 the cheek.
And FAR rcmoved arc care aud strife.
Falling so glibly.from the tongue
Ot those! often think OF this
Whom suffering has never wrunc,
Who scarcely know what patience Ia
Be patient when the suff'rer lies
PrOStrate beneath some fell disease
And longs, through torturing asonieS
Only for one short hour OF ease.
Be patient when the weary brain
Is racked with thought and anxious cara
And troubles in an endless train
Seem almost more than IL can bear.
To feel the torture Of delay,
The agony OF hope deferred,
To labor still from day TO day,
The prize unwon, the prayer unheard,
And still to hope and strive and wait
The due reward uf fortunes kiss,
This is 10 almost conquer fate,
This is 10 learn what patience Is.
Despair not, though the clouds arc dark.
And storm and danger veil the sky.
Let fate and courage guide thy bark.
The storm will pass; the port is nigh.
Be patient, and the tide will turn,
Shadows will fee before the sun,
These are the hopes that live and burn
To light us till our work is done.

Music In the Thunder.

A startling and most remarkable phe-
nomenon occurred in Brookfeld, Fair.
field county, on Sunday night, Aug. 80,
which will be remembered to lifes end
by those who heard it. About the time
for the evening service, and when the
congregations of the churches were
awaiting the beginning of worship, it
began to thunder and lightning in the
distance, and the shower appeared to
be rapidly approaching until it was di-
rectly overhead.
Suddenly there was burst of musical
thunder, sounding somewhat like a gong
in different tones, and so marked were
the musical notes as to be sweet and al
most bugle like. As quick as flash all
the eyes of the congregation in the church
were directed to the ceiling, and the
suppressed cry of whats that" could
be heard all over the church. Its
thunder" was the exclamation from all.
All were startled, although some were
more frightened than others. .-Danbury

A Fallacy.

One of the fallacies of the present hour is
the belief that star camphor," or motha.
line, will keep clothing free from moths
The first part of the deception is that it
contains neither camphor nor tar. Its
proper name is naphthalin. According to a
specialist, DR.. Kolinski, "naphthalin may
affect the eyes in an extraordinary manner,
through its property of deleterioUsIy af-
fecting the nutritive property of blood
The eye being a vascular organ, its struc-
ture readily undergoes degeneration. The
effects of it are ecchymosis, white patches
in the retina, cloudiness in the lens and
crystals in the vitreous humor."
Because of its cheapness, housewives use
1t so plentifully that one is suffocated by
its sickening odor on entering many dwell
ings and stores. While it produces catarrh,
only those who are afflicted with the dis
ease can endure it without suffering from
smarting of the eyes and throat when in
contact with the pungency of its odor
Only care and absolute cleanliness can pro-
tect from moths. A few whole cloves put
in with the clothing and inclosed in news.
papers is better preventive than naph.

Horses, it appears, are taking kindly
to spectacles. The Optician, which has
made special investigations into the sub
ject, gives the case Of n short sighted
horse whose owner ordered for him q
pair Of spectdcles. They were made TO
fasten firmly into the head stall so that
they could not be shaken ont OF place.
At first the animal appeared startled by
this addition to his harness, but he soon
got used 10 his glasses and liked them
80 much that when he was turned out
TO pasture he felt uneasy and uncomfort-
able without his goggles and one Sunday
hung around the barn and whinnied 80
plaintively that the owner put the head
stall and goggles on him, and the horse
was 80 glad that he rubbed the mans
shoulder with his nose as the only meth.

When Tennysou Was Made a Peer.

spent with Lord Tennyson a long
evening till nearly midnight the day be-
fore he took his oaths and his seat as n
peer. He was occupied good deal in
writing and bringing to perfection a
poem of four lines, which he told me
had given him as much trouble as many

was interesting to hear of his tentative
efforts and his rejection of them, till his
ear and his mind were perfectly satisfied.
Next day met him in the house Of lords
and saw him write his name on the roll
Of peers,
The attendance in the house was ex-
ceedingly scanty on that historic occa-
sion. do not think that dozen per.
sons were present. The poet was not in
the smallest degree elated. His true
eminence lowered supremely above the
adventitious honor, yet he could not but
feel the qualification which had arisen
not from the fulfillment Of Il kind of am
bition which he had never felt, but from
the sense Of the secure fame involved In
the recognition by his country of the
priceless services which he had rendered

A Great Lacquer Artist.

Artistic Japan has suffered another
great loss IN the death of Mr.. Shibata
juno, commonly known as Zeshin, who
expired on the 18th of July, at the ripe
age Of eighty-five, A greater worker in
lacquer probably never lived than this
remarkable artist. Everything that
came from his hands was of the most
beautiful and refined character, and re.
peatedly during the last ten years he
gave practical demonstrations Of the
fact that the capacity of modern Japan
ese artisans to produce lacquer of the
highest quality is in no respect inferior
to the capacity of the great masters Of
former times.
leshin was among the ten artists
chosen last year to receive the special
protection of the imperial household,
and he had obtained more than dozen
gold, silver and copper medals for work
shown by him at various exhibitions.
He was finished expert in every process
of lacquer manufacture, and his decora-
two skill, exercised chiefly after the
fashion of the Shijo school, perpetually
furnished novel and exquisite examples.

Table Decoration.

The fashion of identifying the table,
which in these days is carried to such an
extent, is by no means so original as
many claim it to be. 1t is simply the
revival Of an old custom. We are told
that in France when the great joints
grew distasteful and small dishes took
, their place decorations of the table
changed too. Permanent pieces called
"dormants, or "surtouts, made of crys-
tai and mounted in silver We're placedin
the middle of the table, and from them
branched candelabra of gilt and silver,
vases filled with flowers, tiny trays COW
sred with sweetmeats, or here and there
statuettes.
! Finally the surtout grew SO large that
, it almost covered the table. People at
last grew tired of the monotony of this
ornament, no matter how artistic it
might be, and instead the center of the
table W often covered with layer of
potter's clay, in which florist would
set cut flowers in any design that pleased
him. Artists were often employed to
decorate the table, the center of which
would be covered with temples, bridges,
amphitheaters or emblematic groups of
| figures. all made of paste.
Sometimes the artist would represent
landscape covered with snow. NJ.
Carada invented an artificial hoarfrost,
which was melted by the heat of the
room, during which process the guests
saw the thawing Of the river and the
budding of the trees and flowers as spring
succeeded winter There were also the
"sableurs," who, by means of beautiful
ly colored sands, powdered marbles,
ground glass, beads and bread crumbs,
made very ingenious figures upon the ta-
bic cloths.-Harper's Bazaar.
