daughter Of H. Rocky. who died April 80, 1919.
MRS SARAH 7. BOLTON.
Not star has passed from heaven,
Not flower from the earth,
Yet another seat is vacant,
By board and by a hearthp
Aud another heart is silent N
That was full Of hope and mirth.
And pure and gentle spirit,
From life's sunshine aud its bloom
Has departed to the silence
And the slumber Of the tomb
Like . blossom was her being,
Like its fading was her doom.
Never will her young heart trerhbis
TO another throb OF pain;
Never will she see the fighting
OF a cherished hope again,
Or from happy dreams awaken,
But to find them all iii vain.
All the bright and eeetiAg moments
or her sunny life are told3
Her eye hath lost its heaming,
And her cheek is pale and cold1
But her soul is up in heaven,
In the blessed Sayiofss fold. .M
II the world has much Of sorrow,
Disappointment, and despair;
II the path Of every mortal
Is beset with TON and care,
Thsn the soul that falls the soonest
Has the fewest woes to hear.
From Che kindred hearts tirat loved her,
Like sunbeam she has flown;
They will miss gentle footstcp,
They will miss pleasant tone,
And the home that was SO cheerful.
Will be desolate and lone.
but the loss to them SO bitter;
Was to her a glorious gain;
And the wish that would recall her
To this world of grief and pain,
To endure and suffer longer,
is as selfish as it's VAIN.
The words her lips have spoken
Are engraved in many mind
To linger like the fragrance
That floweret leaves bebindj
And her sweet and gentle image
Is in many memory shrined.
They have laid her down to slunlber,
Rut her spirit still may glide,
AS a ministering angel,
Where the loved on earth abide;
Sorrow-stricken hearts TO solace-
Maynard, wandering steps to guide.
Of know we should not murmur,
And we should not sorrow deep,
That her pure heart, like blossom,
Closed its leaves and went to sleep;
Faith went up with her to heaven
Human love turned back to weep.

MAKING TYPE.-Hs ErPense The n.
York Correspondent Of the Washington u
Mon has been visiting t1e type founderies IN
that CITY, and writes an elaborate letteron the
very difficult process of the manufacture oil
type. He says:
The most valuable part Of type founding
establishment are the steel dies, or punches
with which the mould Of the head OF the type
or ma:rix, is cut in copper. These are diifl-
cult to cut, and very expensive; aud as the
appearance of the type depends in great
measure upon the finish with which these
punches are cut, and OF course there exists
great rivalry between type founders to secure
the best workmen in this branch Of their bus
mess so a first rate punch cutter, either for
letters or border-work easily makes from $50
10 $50 per week IN tbs city, working ten
hours per diem. The process OF cutting the
steel punches is exceedingly laborlous and te-
dious, requiring great accuracy oil tue eycs
