'QUARRY WORK

Is almost entirely stopped, the deep cuttings holding tone
of snow. while the only work possible is ckaring perhaps
a little rubble but the cold is so severe that the iron-work
of the tools cannot be touched, or it adheres to the akin,
reminding one of those Arctic latitudes where the touch
of metal raises • blis,er by cold just as • barn. On the
top the steam saw-mills cannot work, as the water freesia
in the saw-cnts.

IN MEMORIAM.
His strife is ended, be has reached the goal. •
Like snow in summer, he has pissed away.
May the Lord have mercy on his soul,
And change his earthly night to day.
His well-known face DO More we'll view;
It has flown for ever like the autumn lest,
The form is cud that so late we knew.
And raw amongst us, our loving cbief.
If a crown is gained for virtues rare.
Our chief now wears it in H boys
He war a good man beyond compare
As we, be left behind, can prove.
He was ever gentle, goal end kind •
The first to hush and calm down ;trait.
With a warm heart and generous mind.
A. butter man breathed not this life.
May his virtues follow him ti plead his cause,
Before the awful Judgment seat;
May our prayers be heard for him who was,
But now lies prostrate at his Maker's feet.
May the righteous crown be his bright reward;
May he mien in glory and eternal bliss,
And behold for ever his dearest Lard,

And receive from Him the Father's Wu.
Be has fled from our midst no mom to return,
come let um revel in grief.
Unfeeling the breast that refuses to mourn
The fate of our well-beloved chief.
Let us prove by our sort* iw the depth of our love,
For the goal man now gone to his rest.
Let us hope be is reigning in heaven above.
The home of the just and the blest
His well-known face ever wreath'd with a smile,
Never more in this life weavings* ;
Be has left, and for ever, bleak Portland Isle,
From his earthly bond he is free.
Let our prayer. now unite, that his soul rest in
That Clod in his mercy forgive
The triding faults he may have done amiss,
Whilst on earth be wee destined to live.
May mercy and favour be not him shown.
Who showed it to others in life,
May goodness and justice plead at God's throne
For him in whose hoar' they were rile.
He was merciful, just, and surpassingly kind
To all who were under his care;
And again his like shall they find,
For his virtues were many and rare.
Remember then Lord, that man la but dust,
And dust of itself it must fad,
Thou only art holy, Thou only art just,
And man in the flesh is but frail.
L..t a beam of thy mercy descend from thy throne,
Upon him who has left us In grief,
Till the pure gold remain, end the dross shall have flown,
From the soul of our dearly loved chief.
