Faith.

The faith that life on earth is being shaped
To glorious ends, that order, justice, love,
Mean mans comp cteness, mean effect rs sure
As roundness in the dewdrop-that great faith
l. Lut the rushing and expanding stream
OF thought, of feeling, fed by all the past
Our finest hope is finest memory,
As they who love in age think youth is blest
Because it has u life to fill with love
Full souls are double mirrors making still
An endless vista of fair things before
Repeating things behind So faith is strong
Only when we are strong, shrinks when We
shrink.
II comes when music stirs us, and the chords,
Moving on some grand climax, shake our souls
with influx new that makes new energies.
1t comes in swelling of the heart and tears
That rise mt noble and at gentle deeds
At labors of the master artists hand,
Which, trembling, touches to n finer end,
Trembling before an image seen within.
1t comes in moments of heroic love,
Unjealous joy in joy not made for us
In conscious triumph of the good within,
Making us worsh p goodness that rebukes-
Even our aiiures are prophecy,
Even our yearnings and our bitter tears
After that fair and true we cannot grasp,
As patriots who seem to die in vain
Make liberty more sacred by their pangs

GODS MADE TO ORDER.
Tho Chinese variety Arc Of Both Sexes and
All Sizes and Prices.

Chinese josscs come from Annoy and
Canton, where there are JOSS factories
which supply Cclestials with any shape,
design or size desired. Josscs are either
male or female If the former, they are
tat and ungainly; if the latter, they are
possessed of four arms.
The making of these images is sim
picity itself, the manufacturers relying
upon wooden or metal molds. These are
filled with wet clay, which dries is
then touched up dipped in molten glaze
and allowed to cool. An average work
man can make hundred gods in a day.
The clay used is kaolin and is shaded
from red and gray to white and costs
about u cent a pound. a good Jossmaker
can earn from 90 to 40 cents a day,
while an image costs to make ON an
average about cents Natives pay o
cents for them; foreigners 50. Josses
can be made in all colors, Opaque, trans
parent or colorless The most effective
work is made by painting the clay with
thick white paint and then dipping it
in the glaze. Chinese curio dealers are
very fond of antique joSses, as they can
be planted and dug up to order from the
time of Coufucius to the present day.
The most popular is the BLACK joss. y
This is made by painting kaolin cast
/ with paint made of tar, bitumen, shellac
or varnish, wrapping it in paper and
/ then firing it in furnace. In this way
any shade of black can be obtained, and
the color burns through, as can be
proved by breaking.
The losses carved from wood and GOV
cred with gaudy colors are often very
ancient. The prices vary from few
cents to $500 or more, according to the
size, workmanship and amount of deco
rations. They range in size from an inch
to 10 or ~ feet. In the larger sizes the
carving is of n superior quality and the
coloriug admirable. Josses carved out
of stone are rare and expensive Those
made of jade, pale green or light blue,
fetch marvellous prices, while white,
yellow or brown are almost as eXpen
sive. One of these, belonging to Lin
the ex-governor of FormoSa, is about
inches high and is valued at $40, 900. i
is said to he l, 500 years old. In FuChal
they make josses out of stfalite ant
solinite of various colors. The stone i
so soft that the manufacturer, by rub
bling the newly made images with sand
can produce a most deceptive antique
appearance New York World

TIE LINEN WEDDING.

How This Twentieth Anniversary of Mar
ried Life May BE Observed.
The linen wedding furnishes an eX-
cellent opportunity for pretty presents
In embroidered doilies and all manner
Of other napory. 1t is less suggestive to
a hostess as IA theme for an entertain
ment. A dinner TO which only intimate
friends and the families of bride and
groom are invited seems more appro-
pirate than any more ambitious observ
ance Of the day.
The invitations may be written on
squares of linen in indelible ink and
inclosed in envelopes of the same ma
terial The elaborate folding of napkins
is no longer in vogue, but the fashion
might he revived ON such an occasion
when linen is to be made the prominent
feature. Any pretty drawnwork or en-
broidered linen may be appropriately
introduced. Napkins folded to represent
a succession of scallop shells or fans
may surround and conceal the dish hold
ing the flowers in the center of the ia
| BILE. No flowers are so suitable for the
occasion as the pretty blue blossoms Of
the fax plant, but they are hardly vivit
enough by themselves to be effective, as
the table is so severely white. Bright
| peoples and yellow hearted daisie:
mingled among the blue flax make q
charming centerpiece. Small squares OF
fine linen with fringed edges may be
embroidered with the guests names i'll
blue or red-Kensington stitch-in bold
English writing, and will answer very
well for name cards when made to ad.
here to squares of bristol board by
means of n little -four paste.
Nothing makes a better surface for
water color painting than linen, and
imagination may run riot if the hostess
be an artist says The Ladies Home
| journal, which makes these suggestions.
| Upon every dish a round, fringed dolly
should be placed.
A really dainty flower holder may be
made by placing a slender thin glass

of fine linen, edged with lace an incl

face, and the chic knot, drawn away
from the nape and fastened upon the
crown, leaving few little rustling
curls on the neck, with band of velvet
around the knot, fastened in little
butterfly bow at the left side, gives a
dainty, dignified mir to the round face
Then the soft coil carelessly arranged at
the back of the head is artistic and
graceful. All are equally fashionable,
Will women ever have the courage to
brush back the curls about the faoef
The New York Sun says probably
not. " Many efforts have been made I'M
successfully to part the hair and draw it
away from the temples, but the soft,
wavy locks are too becoming and soften
the lines Of the face too much to allow
of sacrificing them to the within Of the
few blessed with broad, low foreheads.
So the curly bang holds its own and is a
blessing to the community.

clusion that chemical reaction cannot

will not react at 80 degrees, while at go
TO 60 degrees the action is sudden and

potash can be made to unite with the

with carbonates below so degrees With
the latter, brisk effervescence sets in

Didst ever observe when pig in the fence
Sends forth its most ptiful shout
How all of his neghbors betake themselves
thence
To punish him ere he gets outY
And the hubbub they raise, so that Others afar
May know his condition and hence
Come running to join them in adding scar
To the pig that is fast in the fence.
Well, swine are not all of the creatures that be
Who find themselves sticking between
The rails of tbs fence, and who try to get free
While the world is still showing them in;
Who find that the favor they meet with de-

Not on words, but on dollars and cents,
And that tits but few who will prove them
selves friends

In the corner, softly rocking,
With her knitting, grandma sat;
At her feet before the fender
Purrcd the household tabby cat;
Soft and CHEEKY glowed the freight,
Rejecting ON the polished tongs,
As grandma piled her needles llimbly,
And crooned this tenderest of songs:
aye banks and braes % bonny Doom,
How can ye bloom sac fresh and fRir2
How can sc chant, we little birds,
And | sac weary, flu o. carer"
There beside her on hassock
sat her darling golden head,
Little Mabel, with her dolly,
Nearly ready for her bed.
Through the thoughts of that wee maiden
Rang the notes of that old tune,
And between her childish fancies
Swept its dreamy, tender rune:
aye banks and bracs % bonny Doom,
How can ye bloom sac fresh aud fair2
How can We chant, we little birds.
And | sac weary, fu' o. carer"
To grandma's lap climbed little Mabel,
List'uing to her grandma's song,
And the freight danced upon them
As they sat its rays among.
And by and by the golden tresses
Lay damp and soft on grandma's dress,
While the eyelids softly dropping
In slumber sweet did lightly press;
we banks and braes % bOnny Doom,
How can ye bloom sac fresh and iairf
How can We chant, ye little birds,
And sac weary, tu' % caret'
Still crooned the gentle, loving grandma
While slower, slower moved her chair,
And lower bent the head of silver,
Till gold aud silver mingled there
And fell upon the snowy muslin
Gathered round her withCred throat;
And still she croOned until In slumber
The song in silence lost its note:
"Ye banks and brees o bOnny Doom,
How can we bloom sac fresh and fair2
How can We chant, we little birds,
And sac weary, flu o carer
How can ye sing, We little birds
That MARBLE throur h the flowery thorn?
We mind me o. departed joys,
Departed never TO return"

The rose said, Let but this long rain DO past,
And shall feel my sweetness in the sun
And pour its fullness into life at last"
But when the rain was done,
But when dawn sparkled through unclouded
air,
She was not there.
The lark said, Let but winter be away,
And blossoms come and light, and | will
soar
And lose the earth and be the voice of day"
But when the SHOWS were DER,
But when spring broke in blueness overhead,
The lark was dead.
And myriad roses made the garden glow,
And skylarks caroled all the summer long
What lack of birds to sing and flowers to blowl
Yet, ah, lost scent, lost song!
Poor empty rose, poor lark that never trilled!
Dead unfulflled!

The Days Demand.

The Days Demand.
God give us men. A time like this demands
Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and
ready hands;
Men whom the lust of office does not kill;
Men whom the spoils of Office cannot buy;
Men who possess opinions and Il will;
Men who have honor; men who will not lie
Men who can stand before demagogue
And damn his treacherous batteries without
winking;
Tall men, sun crowned, who live above the fog,
In public duty and in private thinking.
For while the rabble, with their thumbworn
creeds,
Their large professions and their little deeds,
AIingle in selfish strife, lol Freedom weeps,
Wrong rules the land, and waiting Justice
sleeps
