He heard the answer "here they are;''
and then the coffin was gradually let
down into the grave; it sat firmly on
the ground, and he heard voice say,
"there, that is right; draw up the rope"
Then there was SOUND, as if the or
ders were obeyed; in the act of doing
it, few grains of sand or pebble dlop-
ped upon the coffin; then all was still;
then handful fsoft, damp, heavy clay,
was shovelled down. Oh, that sound |!
that solemn dreary sound of utter des-
olation 1t broke the spell that kept
his voice silent and his eye dry; his
lips began to culver; sob heaved his
aching breast; large tears gushed from
his. s.eyes; he stretched out his hands in
an agony Of weeping and grasped
an old gentIeman's nose in the stage
coach, where he had been sleeping, and
gave occasion for Obadiah to observe,
''Veri'y, friend, when thou hast sufIi-
GENTLY amused thyself with my nose,
perhaps thou wilt return it to its right
ful owner"
The whole horrible creation of his
fancy passed away like mist his heart
bounded within him, and he took sweet
revenge upon those wicked lips that
had been so cold and still, yet so beau
tifuI, in the darkness of his dream.

Clay, must all come under review. and
the people must again decide that ques.

now connected with that black and
corrupt act, such as an assumption of
State debts, as decided upon by the
Maryland elections, and resolution
just introduced into the Pennsylvania

The times demand that every man

CLUBS that have desired information
on the subject.

GOOD Rye.


Farewell! Farewell! is often heard
From the lips of those who part;
IT'S whispered tone-'tis gentle word,
But it springs not from the heart.
1t may serve for the lovers closing lay,
To be snug meath summers sky;
But give me the lips that warmly say
The honest words" Good bye!
Adieu! Adeu may greet the ear,
In the guise of courtly speech;
But when we leave the kind and dear,
IT'S not what the soul would teach.
Whene'er we grasp the hands of those
We would have forever nigh,
The flame of Friendship bursts and glows
In the warm frank words-'Good bye!'
The mother sending forth her child
To meet with cares and strife,
BreathIess thro' her tears, her doubts and fear:
For the loved ones future life.
No cold "adieu, no '.farewell" lives,
Within her choking sigh
But the deepestsob OF anguish gives
In the warm frank words-"Good bye!"
Go watch the pale and dying one,
When the glance has lost its beam
When the brow is cold as marble stone,
And the world passing dream;
And the latest pressure of the hand.
The look of the rlosinp eve
Yield what the heart must understand,
A long-a last "Good bye!"

GRAF TING,

Many begin early in April, to graft
their apple trees, while others defer nIl
June. We think (says the Massachu-
setts PIoughman) May better month
then either, and there will be but little
difficulty in making the scions live if
they are well set. We advise to set
scions in nursery trees quite close to the
ground, as the bodies ofthe trees will
be more straight and handsome.

For the interest annually accruing, and for the
temporary debts and liabilities of the State, pro-
vision should be Immediately made. The resour-
ces of the State are abundant, and all that is re-
quIred IS the right disposition, and udicious and
proper selection of the mode in which these re-
sources are TO be rendered available
The amount of taxes levied and paid into the
State Treasury, under existing tax laws, was as
iaIlows = In the year l64l, the amount levied
was S4I6,794 S5-tbere was paid into the Treas
ury during that year, 3292 H. In IS42. the tax
levied was $3.50, 5l2 47-the amount paid in the
same year. was S4S6,635 IS. In l643, the amount
levied cannot be ascertained with accuracy, in
consequence of failures the part of the County
Commissioners in several counties to make re-
turns to the proper Office; but making an estimate
fFom the best data that be obtained, it will not
Jail short of $945, 900 co. The tax paid into the
Treasury the past year, was S553,9ll 38. The
assessment for the ensuing year, may be fairly es-
tinated at what it amounted to the past year, pro-
yided the Legislature repeal the proviso to the
18th section of the Act of 9th july 1872 entitled
" An Act to provide for the ordinary expenses of
the acknowledgement of interest upon the
State debt" &C., which limits the assessment Of
the increased tax to one year. Unless provision
be Immediately made for continuing the assess
ment and collection of that tax our financial diff
cultes must be increased, and the consequence
be most disastrous to our State credit.
1t will be seen from the foregoing statement that
nearly million of dollars, arising from taxation,
remains unpaid and there is no authority vested
in the Executive, by law. to enforce its collection.
] have repeatedly recommended to the Legislature
'ne adoption of some legal method of compelling
County Commissioners, Collectors and 1reasu-
