Dawn.

When over the edge of night
The stars pale one by one,
And out of his streams of light
Rises the great red sun,
Ana lifting his splendors up
over the hush of the world,
Draineth nights ebon cup,
Leaving some stars impaired
still on its crystal rim
Fading in bubbles away.
As out Of their cloud meadows dim
The dawn winds blow in this way:
Then bathed in cool. dewy wells.
old lungings Of life renew,
Till here in these morning dells
The DRAWINGS Of earth come true.
And up each sun-jewelled slope
over the night-halloWcd land,
Wonder ANA Beauty ana Hope
Walk silently hand i'll hand.

Tho Noted Soap Manufactures Whom
Horace Greeley Persuaded to Advertise.
James Pyle. tho founder OF the firm Of Jam es
Pyle & Sons. soap and soap powder manufac-
turers, died yesterday at his home 2l5 West
Forthwith street. Mr.. Pyle was 10 years old,
and had been In business in New York city
more than ffty-lye years. Ho was born in
Manchester, Nova Scotia, on Aug. III, 1873.
He was the son Of a United Empire Loyalist
who lived In Pennsylvania and after the battle
Of the Brandywino went 10 Nova Scotia. The
son received his education In the village
school, and when still very young decided to
follow the sea for q livelihood. He got tired OF
It In lS45 and came to this city and established
himself In the soap manufacturing business.
He was one OF the pioneers In that business in
his country. The old-fashioned soft soap was
the thing in those days, and most households
made their own.
He had an Office then in the Tribune building.
and he was pretty well acquainted with Horace
Greeley. Greeley told him that the way to pros
perity in business was, to advertise put Mr.
PYLE didn't look at it in that way. Greeley was
so certain that he told the soap man that II he
would advertise in the Tribune Tor q year per-
charged cent iorit. Mr. Pyle took the advice.
He advertised that year, and at the end OF the
year the result was so encouraging that Ns
paid moro than no had expected TO pay. AMI
increased the amount OF money that ne spent
the following year for alyertising.. In, his
time he was one Of the most SUCCESSFUL aIv"r-
Users in the country. and his "Pearline' be-
came a household word.
Mr.. Pyle was interested In the Baptist de-
nomination and was a devout Christian, When
his business began to be very successful. there
were MANY men OF money who wanted 10 go
into partnership with him. but ne declined all
offers and went on alone until his sons became
Of age. and he took them into business With
and since then has lived quietly. He had been
III aud confined 10 his house since December,
1858. He leaves a wife and two sons.
