Love Wrought 1t.

A century since. in the north of Eu-
rope. stood an old cathedral, upon one
of the arches of which was Il sculp-
tured face of wondrous beauty. 1t was
long hidden, until one day the suns
light striking through a slanted win
dow revealed its matchless features.
And ever after, year by year. upon the
days when for brief hour it was thus
illumined, crowds came and waited
eagerly to catch but Il. glimpse of that
face. 1t had strange history. When
the cathedral was being built, an old
man broken with the weight of years
and cares, came and besought the ar
chitect to let him work upon it. Out
of pity for his age, but fearful lest his
failing sight and trembling touch might
mar some fair design, the master set
him to work in the shadows of the
vaulted roof.
One day they found the old man
asleep in death. the tools of his craft
laid in order beside him, the cunning of
his right hand gone. his face upturned
TO this other marvellous face, which he
had wrought there-the face of one
whom he had loved and lost in his early
manhood. And when the artists and
sculptors and workmen from all parts
of the cathedral came and looked upon
that face they said: This is the grand
est work of all; love wrought this.'-

MAKING PRoJECTlLEs FOR THE BIG GUNS.

coastwise ships to powerful seagoins
tugs, and all, when properly equipped,
could render most effective service. Ihe
militia organizations will be depended on
to man n great number of ships, except
those which will form the auxiliary fleet
for operations in the open sea. Fast
yachts have been found innumerable, and
owners of some of the feetest and most
sumptucus have informed the officials that
if required they will be willing to deliver
them to the Government for war pur-
poses.
Big tugs and little yachts are now being
considered with view to forming tor
pedo boat tiotilla, each being manned WIN
a torpedo tube and two or three slX-pound-
ers. 1t is proposed to utilize large num-
ber of heavy towing ocean-going tugs as
improved rams, and assign them eSciu-
sively for harbor defense purposes.
The information so far received by the
department shows that 929 vessels OF all
types available for imprcssment are at
the service of the Government, including a
large number on the lakes, which would
not under any circumstances be used uh-
less it was developed that the Eastern
ports failed to present the requisite num-
Der. OF these forty-three are on the list
of auxiliary cruisers, or ships which are
| engaged in coastwisc and foreign trade,
and capable of high speed and great
steaming radius. These would be man
ned with guns manufactured at the Wash
ington gun factory and sent to join the
fying squadrons or to harrass the enc
mics commerce.
