Even Tears.
MABEL o. DOWD.
In the sun the brooklets sparkle,
Rivers flash along their sands,
Mighty sea—waves, diamond—studded,
Break and gleam on sun bathed strands ;
Raindrst in their tinted beauty
Make the Promise Bow divine,
Jewels blaze and dew-drops glisten:
Even tears know how to shine l
Ye who wait in lonely sorrow
Through the night of dark distress,
Lift your eyes—with peace and healing
' Comes the Sun of Righteousness I
All things wait His wondrous advent,
'Wait that thrilling touch divine ;
In the glory of his presence 0
Even tears know how to shine!

We find the following in the East Orange
Gazette of the 19th ult. We think none of
our readers can fail to admire the excellence
of its matter as well as of its spirit, especially
considering some provocations to the contra-
ry. This mere outline furnishes a model for
a farewell sermon.
Dr. Mix's Farewell Sermon. ~
A large congregation, assembled in the
First Presbyterian church, Orange last Suu~
day morning, to listen to the farewell dis-
course of its late pastor. The pulpit was
decked with flowers, and the Rev. Doctor
spoke with great unction and freedom, as
though a heavy burden had been taken ofi
his heart. After reading the 46th Psalm,
“God is our refuge and strength, a very
present help in time of trouble,” the preacher
announced the 265th, hymn,’ “Lord, Thy
glory fills the heavens.” The second reading.
was from John xiv, “Let not your heart be
troubled,” followed by hymn 771, “Onward,
Christian.” It was noticed that the ex—
pastor joined heartily in the singing. His
text was II. Cor. xiii:11, “Finally. brethren,
farewell; be perfect; be of good comfort, be
of one mind, live in peace; and the God of
- love and peace shall be with you."
The Church at Corinth was very dear to
. Paul. It had been planted and tenderly
nourished by him. He went among the Co-
rinthians alone and unheralded, but determ—
ined to know nothing but Jesus Christ and
Him crucified. His preaching was attended
with great success during the time he re-
mained in the city- But afterward came
trouble, ,dissensions sprang up, dividing the
church into parties and ending with bitter
taunts and opposition to himself. His per-
sonal appearance and speech even were made
subjects of contemptuous remark among
them. Hence his second epistle which was
full of sharps rebuke. He felt called upon
to defend himself, and was sustained evi—
dently by divine aspiration. But at the close
of his message his yearning love for them
asserts itself, and he bursts forth with the
warmest expressions of tenderness and af-
fection in the text chosen. “May I not,”
said the-preacher, “also choose these words
asI come, after many years of ministering
unto you, to say farewell? The loving
counsels of the text are so many links in the
golden chain of reconciliation, and these I
desire to consider in the order- named. lst.
‘Be perfect.’ These words apply to. things
incomplete or broken. Is is an exhortation
to self-amendment. If anything is wrong
in our hearts, or if there are errors in our
judgment, we are exhorted to amend them.
Everything will go right outwardly if there
is no evil within. If trouble and dissension
arise without, we are not right within. 2d.
~436ng comfort.’ The tendency of
discord is to 'dishearten and check spiritual
growth. The apostle puts in the link of
mutual comfort and encouragement. Be not
cast down. wear not a troubled countenance,
for God is above and ruleth all. 3d ‘Be of
one mind.’ The apostle lays great stress on
a perfect agreement among God’s people.
The great object of a church is not personal
gratification, not selfish ambition, but to
save souls, to build up Christ’s kingdom
among men, and make them shining lights
The Church is no place for one who is not
on fire to save men. Hell s‘ ks out of sight;
to live is Christ ; to die is gain. To hinder
others in their spiritual life is wrong, wicked.
God’s people must be united in purpose and
work. 4th. ‘Live in peace.’ Good men do
not always agree; contentions may arise
even among brethren. But often it is a
dispute as to ways and means, any of which
will ,probably succeed if all unite upon it.
We cannot afiord to break peace for these
things. The enemies of the church never
contend about methods; any way satisfies-so
the injury is done. Close' up the ranks,
then, my beloved brethren. and let nothing
divide you. Says an old writer, ‘Nothing
should alienate us except that'which alien-
iatestfrom God.’ And thus may the links
be welded together into one chain, and the
evils joined so as to bind in perpetual love
and harmony the people of God. ‘Be per-
fect,beof good comfort, be of one mind,
live in peace,’ and may it be well with you
until we shall all meet again in a brighter
world.”
. The reverend gentleman’s ‘voice grew
tremulous as he closed, aud many eyes in the
congregation became moistened with tears
It was evident from the close attention and
breathless stillness of the large audience that
he had the hearts‘and sympathies of his
hearers. In the evening Dr. Hickok preach-
ed in the First church, and Dr. Mix supplied
his pulpit. Many members of the First
church followed their pastor to Brick church
to hear his last words.

John Chlnaman.
While in Hong Kong, writes a correspond.
eat, I accepted the invitation of Consul Mos-
by to visit the steamship Gaelic and see how
Chinamen were shipped to the United States.
There were 458 men and one woman. The
Chinamen were all on deck with a rope
stretched around them. At a desk near by
, were three officers, the doctor, the harbor-
master, and the United States consul.- These
Chiuamen had bought their tickets, but, un-
less they could pass the doctor's inspection
the harbor—master would not stamp their
ticket, and, if the harbor-master would not
stamp their ticket, the United States consul
’ would not stamp their ticket, and, if the con-
sul did not stamp their ticket, the Mail com-
pany would not take it. These Chinamea
had their clothes unbuttoned and laid off
down to their waists. The doctor examined
every one honestly and faithfully, and did
not object to a single one. Every one was
in a good state of health. On the doctor’s
certificate the harbor-master stamps the
ticket, and on his certificate the American
consul also stamps the ticket, and on his
stamp'the captain takes it. Before a wom-
an can be ship she has to- go down to
the To«Wah hos tal and have stamped on
her arm a certificate that she was a proper
person to come to America. All the precau-
tions that laws have fixed, as far as the ex-
aminations of .Chinamen, are honestly car—
ried out under the present administration, or
were on that trip. I was anxious to see
some evidence of a careless manner of doing
it. I must say they carefully did it. While
these Chinamen were all . in the string, I
came in and looked at them. One of them
said: “Hallo, Mister, I sabbe your bludder.
He marry up in SlacIamento.” I said.
“John, what you know ?" He said, “I hve
in Slsclamento eight year; I make $3.000; I
come home; I catchee two wives; I 1036 all
uowI go back again." I said, “Kearney
will catch you and ban you." He said.
.“Oh, no; me go dud do eamey's washing."
-Most of them were Chinese who were re—
turning to the United States. The - under:-
stood the agitation of the San rancisco
sand lot, and they 110861!- enjoyed the joke.
Unattended Ladies in London. . '
Ladies naturally prefer, ‘says the London
Queen, being accompan. by. gentlemen to
places of public resort to going by themselves
ufiattended;_and many would rather relin-.
quish an cvening’samusement than appear
without the countenance of some member of
the sterner'sex, whether husband, brother or
friend. Still there are a large number of
married ladies who for one reason or another
dispense with gentlemen attendants, and
avail themselves of the privilege of being
considered capable of taking care of them-
selves. It is not unusual to see three ladies
enter the stalls of a theatre, unaccompanied
by a gentleman, the married ladies leading
the way, followed by the young ladies of the
party. At the opera more especially one no-
tices rows of ladies seated in stalls unaccom-
panied by gentlemen. These ladies depend
upon the exertions of an intelligent man
servant to get away quickly from the crowd-
ed vestibule of the opera house, and they
generally make their way quietly out of the
stalls before the close of the last act, so as to
avoid the general crush.
Married ladies, when making up a ‘psrty
for the play, often give a stall or sent in a
box to a gentleman, and thus secure his at-
tendance, but the price of stalls at the thea—
tre being half a guinea, few ladies care to
incur this additional expense; while with
regard to opera stalls, which range fromoa
guinea to thirty shillings, their 'high price
precludes most ladies taking one expressly
for the purpose of securing the presence of
a gentleman. Rich men, when asked to join
a party of ladies at the theatre or opera, nat-
urally pay' for their own stalls. Ladies, as a
rule do not ask poor men to do this, but
offer them a seat in their box, or a stall next
to theirs—an attention which generally meets
with a very ready acceptance. It is needless
to say that young unmarried ladies have not
the independence enjoyed by married ladies,
and that it would be a breach of etiquet
were they to go to the theatre or opera un-
accompanied by a chapcron or accompanied
by a gentleman, unless he were a very near
relative, father, brother-iff-law. or uncle.
Unmarried ladies, however, of a certain age,‘
with establishments of their own, do not
come within this rule of etiquet, but are
rather included in that which applies to
married ladies. _
With regard to outdoor gatherings, such as
Hurlingham, Ranelagh or Orleans, or any
such places of amusement to which tickets
of admission are issued by members of these
clubs,it is very usual for ladies to drive down
together and meet their friends at the club
by pro-arrangement, as a barouche is some.
times hardly large enough to convey the
ladies of a family, while a small brougham
or victoria is out of the question. Thus:
though ladies proceed to these. places of,
amusement unaccompanied by gentlemen,
they are in variably joined by them on arriv-
ing; and, though they: do not remain in
attendance upon them, and though ladies
stroll about in each other’s company or sit
together the whole of the afternoon, while
their friends are engaged at polo, lawn-tennis
or pigeon-shooting, etc, or in watching the
play of others. still they are there to order ,
their tea, to tell them how the play‘ is going
and all the on data of the place, and to see
them to their carriages when they desire to
leave. And though it would be perfectly'
correct for married ladies to go to any of
these gatherings, or for a married lady to
take young ladies with her, with an' almost
certainty of not knowing a gentleman pres-
ent, still, the feeling of isolation that would 1
result“’would . 'probubiyme'wr‘u lady from
repeating the experiment asecond time. On
the other hand, ladies whose husbands or
brothers are members of a club of this de-
scription are generally acquainted with a
number of the members who are more or less
certain to be present, and thus it is not nec-
essary in their case to make any previous
arrangement with any member, or .to ask a
non-member to obtain a ticket and join their
party. At a racing club meeting, such as
Sundown, ladies would not arrive unattend-
ed, whether they proceeded by train or road,
and would 1p invariably accompanied by one
or two gentlemen, by whom :they would be
taken into the members’ inclosure.
At large race meetings, such as Ascot,
Goodwood,Doncaster and Newmarket, ladies
would not think of being present, unless ac-
companied by some male relative.
Public afternoon concerts, bazaars. _ and
flOWer shows are essentially places frequent-
ed by ladies en masse, and it is the exception
rather than the rule, for gentlemen to be in
attendance upon them. Again, at private
afternoon gatherings ladies usually appear
unattended by gentlemen, fauts do mfeub.
At private balls and parties given in town
ladies make their entrance unattended, unless
by husband, father, or brother; but in the
country a party of ladies would take as many
men as they could muster, whether the ball
werea public or private one.
Married ladies, as a rule, dine out with
their husbands. and do not accept invitations ,
to large dinners when their husbands are un.
able to accompany .them. There are, of
course, exceptions to this rule, and circum -
stances sometimes arise when it is relaxed:
but even in this case it would be in favor of
small and friendly dinners rather than of large
ones. On the occasion of a husband being
absent from the country, a lady would accept
invitations to dine with her relatives and in-
timate friends, though she might refuse in-
vitation to large dinners given by acquaintan-
ces; but, as a rule, when it is well known
that the head 'of a house is away - for any
length of time, invitations are not sent to the
wife by givers of large dinners.
When young ladies are invited to dinner
, they accompany their father, mother or bro—
ther; but occasionally, when a young ladies’
party is given by a friend of their parents,
the young ladies are invited niche, and they
either go with their maid" in' a cab or. by
themselves in their father’s carriage. In the
afternoon young ladies seldom or never drive
alone in the public thoroughfares, and are
invariably accompanied by a married lady.
Itis not considered good style for a very
young lady to drive in a victoria or brougham
in the park -or in the crowded streets, al-
though she might drive from one house to
another in a quiet neighborhood to join her
mother or chaperon, or to execute some little
commission. A young married lady on the
contrary, can drive wherever she pleases,and
drive alone.

NORWALK, CONNECTICUT, . TUESDAY, JUNE . 7, 1881.
Buckingham Palace Drawing
Room.
The show of beauty at the drawing rooms
.(especially on Thursday) was remarkable,
says the London Truth, but certain married
ladies were considered to hear of the palm}
The animadversion of the queen on the ex-
treme lowness of the dresses worn last year
has borne fruit, as there was hardly one dur-
ing the week to which any objection could
have been taken. A fashion has lately
sp'ruug up of ladies coming to the palace
with gloves of every sort of color. Of this
the queen strongly disapproves, and is is ex-
pected that a hint will be given that only
white gloves are to be worn in future. Most
of the carriages were fearfully shabby.
There were not more than half a dozen that
would have been considered eligible for' a
progress to the palace thirty years ago.
There was a thoroughly slovenly appearance
about horses, carriage: and servants in the
majority of: cases. The queen refused to
receive a peercss who became a widow not
very long ago, and who has since contracted
a second marriage. It is amusing to watch
the different demeanor of the ladies who
waited for such long hours in their carriage
on the Mall. Some are, or artfully appear
to be, utterly unconscious of the gaze of the
crowd. Others almost court it; while a few
are distressingly self-conscious. ~Various are
the devices for whiling away the time. 'In
one brougham I observed a lady and gentle-
man playing cards. In another a young
lady was threading beads. In several the
perusal of a novel was going on. In a few,
facts, in newspaper form, was preferred to
In one brougham were [two lovely
girls and a still beautiful mother. Each
held an enormous bouquet of such flowers
as stephanotis,gardenia and yellow rosebuds,
the whole framed and shaded with maiden
hair. The coachman and footman had
bunches of similar flowers in their coats.
and even the carriage lamp had its comple-
ment of blossoms. One of the debutantes
carried a large and tasteful bouquet of ox
eye daisies and maiden hair. Another bou-
quet, of daisies only, was less successful,
and a third a signal failure, was a limp group
of forget-me-nots. A bouquet of pansies,
dark and yellow, with yellow roses and
maiden hair, was one of the loveliest I-saw
One young girl carried a flower fan instead
of a bouquet. The frame was covered with
moss on either side, and in it were fastened
ox-eye daisies and wood anemones. I ob-
served a dress on which lilac sunflowers
were displayed. Is this meant to be an im-
provement on nature? The British rough
delights in pufllng rank tobacco smoke in at
the carriage windoWs, and is by no means
reluctant to cast rudc remarks in the same
direction. , At the same time one can but
wonder that the ladies who have to face such
a battery of glaiices do not wear some kind
of veiling over the arms and shoulders which
the exigencies of court dress display so free-
ly. Only in two instances had this been
done on Thursday last, andono of these was
in the case of the two Indian ladies presented
to her majesty.

Making a Call in Mississippi.
New York Tribune.
When you call at the residence of a neigh-
bor in Mississippi you do not go to the door
and knock or ring the bell, as is usual in most
places in the North. That would not be a
safe or comfortable undertaking here. You
proceed, usually on horseback, to the “yard
fence" in frontof the house. sndshout. ‘fHal—
_loo L’L. -You, are answered at once by a chorus
of dogs,'which come leaping down the yard
towards you like wild beasts hungry for their
prey. As you contemplate their enormous
size, their number and evident ferocity, you
congratulate yourself on being on horse-
back. About the time when you begin to
wonder wheTher you will long be safe even
in that position, the man of the house comes
to the door and calls out : “Good morningf
Won’t ye light i” You mentally answer
“Not just yet," and your host walks down
the path towards you, making remarks about
the weather or some such familiar topic as
The Moon and_ Weather.
Scientific Record.
It is not pleasant to controvert such a
venerable notion as that the moon affects
the weather, and that by studying its vari-
ous “quarters" and coaditions we may be
able to prophesy the weather months in
advance. The moon, it must be remem-
bered, is continually on the move, and ever
progressing with the earth and the while
moving around it. It therefore must neces-
sarily, and does in turn, shine on all parts
of the earth. -Wherever the sun shines the
moon shines also. The sun being a power-
ful heaTlng body, generates the conditions
we term low barometer. The moon, being
a mere reflector of light, has no such power,
at least its heat power is infinitesimal, and
therefore has no power to produce or effect
the area of low barometer. But it is often
claimed that it has power over the clouds,
to collect or disperse them, as the case may
be. On the same night with the same moon
new, first quarter, half, full, last quarter or
old, the moon is shining over the same ter-
ritories where there are all sorts of weather,
from hot to cold, and from clear, cloudless
skies to extents of territories [covered with
the :most dense snow or rain-producing
clouds. In one place it may be clear, bright
moonlight; in another, not a ray of light to
be seen even with a full moon. Then these
places may be, and are, distributed over the
earth at intervals of from five hundred to a
thousand miles, and sometimes more. This
being the actual condition of things, it seems
most absurd to claim or believe, at this day,
that the moon at all affects our weather, or
that it may be relied upon as a basis on which
to found prophecies of the weather. When
the new moon is upright, so that its two
horns or ends are even with each other, it
is claimed that throughout this moon we
will have little or no rain, because the moon
holds the water. Then when” the crescent
tips a little, one side being higher than the
other, according to the universal idea, we
will have plenty of rain during that month
—-as though the rain which waters our earth
must be held in this little basin up in the
sky. It must be remembered that the moon
is two hundred and forty thousand miles
away from‘ our earth, and at the best cal.
culation our atmosphere is not more than
forty-five miles high. and more than this,
that the clouds from whence comes our rain
are not over two or three miles high, and
often much less, probably less even than a
mile high. Our rain comes from. the clouds
that are temporarily suspended in the air
generated through the heat forces of the sun
from the waters of the earth.
The sun is ever forming these clouds.
The power of the moon in this particular is
not worth considering even for a moment—
might. as well claim that the moon causes
plants to grow, and is an agent for the gen—
eration and maintenance of life on this
globe. As it rotates abOut the earth it hap-
pens that it goes through certain phases
which are known as new moon, full, quar
ter, etc., and that at times the horns of the
and at others not—all depending, as any one
familiar with astronomy 'must know, on the
relative positions of the sun, earth and moon.
The sun will alwaysshine on that side of the
moon that faces the sun. This is a most
natural effect and needs no proof. Relative-
ly to the earth the moon must change, for
the simple reason that these bodies are ever
changing their relations to each other, and
this readily-accounts for the different .ap-.
pearances of what we call the “new moon,”
the light of the'sun shining on it, relatively
to us, underneath, at other times a little to
one side. That these merely accidental
changes of the moon have no significance as
amotive power, positive or negative, that
they should be a power to affect the condi-
tions that produce or prevent rain that comes
and can only come by the generating force
or heat of the sun, is most absurd: or that
it should have any power over the moiton
of the clouds, which are concentrated or
dispersed only by that power generated by
the sun, which we term “low barometer.”

A Boston Episode.
Boston Post.
They had a blin’ old: time at the West
End, recently. Mr. Monkey’s boy took the
family cat and rubbed phosphorus all over
him. It was about nightfall when be com-
pleted the job and let the out go. The boo.
doo began right away. The cat got into a
barrel and began to yowl, and that attracted
the attention of a bull—dog, and he came
along and danced about and barked and got
terribly excited. It was'a case of “dog in
the. light, out in the shadder, dog full of
fight, cat growing madder.” Pretty soon
the dog upset the barrel and went in after
the cat. But it wasu surprise party for him.
The phosphorus glowed in the darkness and
he beheld a eat of fire. He came out of that
barrel and went off howling as, though a
policeman had stepped on him. Then the
cat went up on the roofs where other cats
do congregate, and tried. to chum around
with ’em. But it was no go. They fled
from him as if he were a bootjack. . He
didn't understand it and gave chase, and as
there were about forty cats on these roofs
and they were all scared and fled from him,
howling dismally, the noise was something
fearful, ;so that folks in the vicinity who
heard it were scared and had cold sweats.
The cats continued to tear about and yell so
that it could not be endured. Mr. Monkey
and others got up and went upon the roofs
with clubs. And at first the sight of a fiery
cat frightened them, and one lady who saw it
screamed and fell through a skylight and
nearly killed a man sleeping beneath it, and
made him think Mother Shipton was right.
Finally, Mr. Monkey and his friends made a
desperate charge on the fiery cat and the
poor cat took a flying leap to the street. He
hit on a policeman, saving his life, but near-
1y scaring the] officer Out of his. as he
thought he was struck -by lightning. The
cat jumped to the ground and an astronomer
came along and took him' for an aerolite
and tried to pick him up. To his amaze—
ment the aerolite ran. Then he was scared,
too. Finally the cat got into a hay mow
and somebody thought the barn was aflre,
and they called out the engines and got seven
streams turned on him. He fought well,
but they fixed him. And then the investi‘
gations showed no fire, but only a dead cat.
And they told the stableman he was a cross-
eyed fool to mistake a cat’s eyes for a fire,
and so they left him. And all the West End
is talking of the mysterious, fiery cat, and
only young Monkey understands the mys-.
tery.
any such ideas as that the moon has any
influence in producing such results, is most
absurd, and cannot be maintained by facts
or the least show of reason. We may ' have
evenings where the sky over our particulqr
locality becomes clouded when the moon-is
visible, or it may be cloudy, and after awhile
the clouds pass away, but not through any
agency of the moon. If the moon had any
such power as this, it would produce the
same results every time, but we see that it
does not, but rather with all sorts of moons
we have all sorts of weather and changes,
which may readily be traced to a far more
reasonable cause—that 'of the relative condi-
tions of low and high barometer as affected
by the great source of heat and light—the

The poet Longfellow tells a correspondent
of the Philadelphia Press that he got the
groundwork for his Evangeline in the follow-
ing manner : ' ,
“Hawthorne came to dine with me one day
and brought a friend with him from Salem.
While at the dinner Mr. Hawthorne's friend
said to me: ‘I have been trying to get Haw-
thorne to write a story about the banishment_
of the Acadians from Acadia, founded upon
the life of a young Acadian girl who was thEn
separated from her lover, spent the balance of
her life searching for him, and when both
were old found him dying in a hospital.’ ”
"'Yes," said Hawthorne, “but there is
nothing in that for a story.”
“I caught the thought at once that it would
make a striking picture if put in verse, and
said, ‘Hawthornc, give it to me for a poem,
and promise that you will not write about it
until I have written the poem.’ .
“Hawthorne readily agreed to my request,
and it was agreed that I should use his
friend’s story for, versc whenever _I had the
time and inclination to write. .
uI got the climax of Evangeline from
Philadelphia, and it is singular how 'I hap-
pened to do so. I was passing down Spruce
street one day,toward my hotel,after a walk,
when my attention was attracted to a large
building with beautiful trees about it, inside
of a high enclosure. I walked along until I
came to the great gate, and then stepped in-
side and looked carefully over the place. The
charming picture of lawn, flower-beds and
shade which it prescntedmade’an impression
'which has never left me, and twenty-four
years after, when I came to write Evangeline
I located the final scene, the meeting between
Evangeline and Gabriel and the death at this
poorhousc, .aud the burial in an old' Catholic
graveyard not far away, which I found by

wife threw down her sewing and impatiently
hastened into the back yard to settle a noisy
dispute among the children. She selected
Jack as the offender, and uncoupling her
slipper with a Quick movement she run
Master Jack on u siding and began to mark
him “Bad order” without regarding his sig-
nals and pitcous howls. By this time Bob
the guilty one, having run on to‘the seenre
turn-table of the back fence, so that he could
run off in either direcfion, screamed out,
“Let up, mother; shut her off, I tell you!
You,ve cut out the wrong car ou’ you'll run
by the right one if you ain't Iivelyl” The
mother coupled up andtried to make a flying
switch on the culprit, but he got out on the

and was running wild for the first siding
long before the switch engine could get out

How thou canst be so small. See how im-

Appears my fist beside thy little hand.‘ '
And yet that little hand is far from weak.
Thou get’st it in my hair and giv’st a yank,
With pain and agony I almost shriek ;
Thy mother laughs and you enjoy the prank
Thy conversation is not marked by wit,
Yet at the table than from all dost get
Attention close. And those who near thee

A glass of water 'or o’erturn the cream.

Why do the children leave us, 0 our Father—
The little children cradled on our breast ?
Why do our doves fly upward in the morning

refresh and brighten her whole life. They

They enable her to cheer her husband when
