A wOnderfuI stdeDonr0.

The most wonderful piece Of furni-
ture to be found in this city stands In
the home Of Harrison Weber, a skilled
mechanic, and 1t Is his own handi-
work. Every spare moment he could
snatch he contributed to the work of
completing a sideboard which contains
upward Of 10000 pieces of wood, all
inlaid and fitted together, without
showing an open joint.
Mr.. Weber had no fixed idea when
he started the work what the outcome
would be, as he had not drawn any
sketches, but just worked on with one
idea following another until the top
Of the sideboard was reached and 1t
was completed.
The front of a single drawer con-
tains 1855 pieces Of wood, arranged to
show different designs of blocks and
stars with five to sixteen points. An
end panel contains more than 1000
pieces, while the door panels have more
than 5000 pieces each.
This is really a patriotic piece Of
furniture, as many Of the tiny pieces
Of wood are so constructed that they
represent the American flag as first
adopted; the 1912 flag, with fifteen
stars, and the regular flag of to-day,
having thirteen stripes and forty-five
stars. Every flag shows the original
colors, and this is the only place
where the sideboard is stained, as the
star ground had to be stained blue

Now far, far behind him the green waters

And the cot of his forefathers blesses
his eyes.
The jessamine Chambers, in flower, Ger
the thatch,
And the swallow sings sweet from her
nest in the wall;
All trembling with transport he raises the
latch,
And the voices of loved ones reply to
his call.
A father bends Ger him with looks Of
delight;
His cheek is believed with a mothers
warm tear;
And the lips Of the boy in a love-kiss
unite
With the lips of the maid whom his
bosom holds dear. :

IT'S the crashing of thunders, the groan
of the sphere
TO the deck;
Amusement confronts him with images
dire;
Wild winds and mad waves drive the
vessel a-wreck,
The masts fly in splinters; the shrouds
are on fire
Like mountains the pillows tremendously
swell;
In vain the lost wretch calls on Mercy
to save;
Unseen hands Of spirits are ringing his
knell
And the death-angel flaps his broad
wings Ger the wave.

Shall home, love, or kindred thy wishes

Unblessed and unhonored, down deep in

Full many a fathom, thy frame shall
decay.
No tomb shall e'er plead to remembrance
for thee,
Or redeem form or fame from the mer-
CHESS surge;
But the white foam of waves shall thy
winding-sheet be,
| And winds in the midnight of winter
thy dirge!
On a bed of green sea-fowers thy limbs
shall be laid;
Around thy white bones the red coral
shall grow;
OF thy fair yellow locks threads of am
! Der be made,
And every part suit to thy mansion
below.
Days, months, and ages shall circle away,
And still the vast waters above thee
shall roll;
Earth loses thy pattern forever and aye
