the dull and tedious hours of travelling.
The merchant did not repel these friend

Mr.. Edifor:-l hope you will give publicity to
the following remarks, the object of which Is to
induce our Common Council to preserve, invio-
late, the principle which has governed that bod
in the appointment Of members Of it 10 officer, OF
profit, IN their gift, until within few years past.
have been informed that the Mayor and Cum
mona ty, many years ago, resolved that no mem
Der of Council ought to BE- appointed to any Of.
flee of emnlument in the gift Of the Council -
By the amended charter Of the Corporation, pas
sed in 1904, Congress separated the Mayor from
the Common Council, who was thereafter to be a
salary officer, which showed that, while holding
this office, he was not to continue member.
This same charter gives the Common Council
power to appoint all offices for the Corporation,
and to allow them compensation for the If servi.
ces, and also power to prescrbe their duties. 1t
then the practice which has lew years back been
adopted by the Council, Of appointing to Offices
Of p, of members Of their own body be continued,
the Council may be IN time composed OF officers Of
the Corporation, who are to fix their own compensa
ton md prescribe their own duties, They will
be the aw makers. aud, at the same time, the ex.
ecuu.e officers Of the Corporation. This is in
oppo,,lon to the plain intent Of the charter.
The Common Council, many years ago, acting
upon the principle Of the amended charter in the
law relating To the duties of the Superintendent
OF Police. prohibited that officer from being con.
oerned m an, contract for the public whereby he
is t" derive any benefit, He IS prohibited from
employing in the pubiic service his own carts,
horses. or hands. This provision is an extension
by law %! the principle Of the charter

THE sKIEs.--BY BRYANT.

Ay, gioriousiy ilio,s s.aadest there,
 Beautiful, boundess Armament That swelling wide o'er earth and air,
 And round the horizon bent, With that bright vault and sapphire wall, Dost overhang and circle all. Far, far below thee, tall grey trees
 Arise, and piles built up of old, And hills whose ancient summits freeze
 In the fierce light and cold; The eagle scars his utmost height, Yet far thou stretchest o'cr his flight. Thou hast thy frowns; with thee, on high,
 The storm has made his airy seat; Beyond thy soft blue curtain lie
 His stores of hail and sleet; Thence the consuming lightnings break; There the strong hurricanes awake. Yet thou art prodigal of smiles
 Smiles sweeter than thy frowns are stern, Earth sends, from all her thousand isles,
 A song at their return; The glory that comes down from thee Bathes in deep joy the land and sea. The sun, the gorgeous sun, is thine,
 The pomp that brings and shuts the day, The clouds thatround him change and shine,
 The airs that fan his way. Thence look tue thoughtful stars, and there Tine meek moon wakes the silent air. The sunny Italy may boast
 The beauteous tints that flush her skies, And lovely, round the Grecian coast,
 May thy blue pillars rise = Ionly know how fair they stand About my own beloved land And they are fair; charm is theirs, That earth--the proud nearth--hasnot, With all the hues, and forms and airs,
 That haunt her sweetest spot. We gaze upon thy calm, pure sphere, And read of heavens eternal year. Oh when amid the throng of men,
 The heart grows sick of hollow mirth, How willingly we turn us, then,
 Away from this cold earth, And look into thy azure breast, For seats of innocence and rest.
