LOCAL. MATTERS. II

raoUBLE AT THE Wharf.-The Board
Of City Council is to be called together
soon, to take into consideration the fact
that W. P. Cox, lessee of the Steamboat
Landing, refuses to pay up, one of the in.
stallments now due On the same. Cox,
alleges a. reason for refusal; the inter-
ference, with his right, by Commodore
RlcnARD MARxxAx; who continues (sfter
being duly notified to quit) to hold a coal
boas at the landing opposite the Foundry.
The Commodore protests that be is outside
the corporate limits Of the city, and has
right. The matter has been in court, for
a time past, and nothing has been made out
of it. A company Of ciol Engineers,
should have a commission, to look after
the los. line, Is it seems this would put an
end to the matter.

GooD-BYE.-How many emotions cluster
around that word ! How full of sadness,
and to us, how full of sorrow it sounds ! 1t
is with us a consecrated word. We heard
it once within the year, as We hope never to
hear it again 1t was in the chamber of
death, and the still hour of nights noon.-
The curtains to the windows were all closed
the lights were I'll shaded and we stood in
the dim and solemn twilight, with others a.
round the bed of the dying. The damps of
death were on her pale young brow, and cold
ness was on her lips, as we kissed her the
last time while living. Goodbye, my
daughter" we whispered, and Goodbye,
father" came family from her dying lips
We know not if she ever spoke more, but
"Good-bye" " was the last that we ever heard
Of her own sweet voice We heard that
sorrowful word often and often, as we sit
alone, busy with the memorys Of the past
We hear it in the silence of the night, in the
hours of nervous wakefulneSs, as we lie upon
our bed thinking of the loved and the lost TO
us We hear it in our dreams, when her
sweet face comes back to us. We hear it
when we sit by the side of her grave in the
cemetery wfere she sleeps, alone, with no
kindred as yet by her side. She was the
hope of our life, the prop to lean on when
age should come upon us, and life should be
running to its dregs. The hope and the prop
is gone and we care not how soon we go down
to sleep beside our darling beneath the shad-
ow of the trees in the city of the dead
