The Light That Failed.

There are two sides to every ques.

blame before making thorough in.

On Sunday night many residence
was lighted by hastily rugged coal oil
lamps, candles, or any contrivance al
hand. The congregations of the
churches assembled, wondering, in
their dark places of worship, and after
waiting patiently and in vain, return
ed home in any thing but religious
frame of mind. AT the Hebrew Tenn
pie the occasion was Que Of the most
important Of the whole year-indeed
of many years. The Temple was
splendldly decorated and-dark. A
great congregation assembled, ard the
service proceeded as best it could by
the faint glimmer of the wax candies
on the altar.
The Offices of business men are al
most useless TO them after dark, and
no one can tell at what moment his
house may be plunged in Stigyian
darkness. Accidents are liable to
happen in every business, and any
reasonable man is willing to make
allowances, but the troubles complain
cd of are of such frequent occurrence
aud are growing worse so constantly
that lift is possible to mend matters
the company owe it 10 themselves as
well as TO their patrons to do so at
once.
