cession, with now and then faint murmur of
the roar Of the distant city. We were alone
with the silent dead: -F.
can at rest now--zl dust wave flows on wave
But the sea dries not What 10 rs the grave
N brings no real homly; we sigh,
Pause FOR a while, and murmur, 4" All must die"
.rhen rush to pleasure a. ton, sin, once more,
swell the loud tide, and fret unto the shore!''
We remembered to have heard that the re.
mains of the talented, eccentric Lorenzo Dow,
rested somewhere in this yard, and on inquiry
of the sexton, he kindly led the way to the
secluded part Of the yard, shaded by cedars
plain slab Of stone over the grave bears the
following inscription:
The Repository of Lorenzo Dow, who was born
in Coventry, Connecticut, Oct 18th, HI.
Died February 2, 1894,
Aged So.
GA Christian in the highest style of man."
He ID
"a slave TO no sect takes no private road
But looks through nature up 70 natures Sod +"
The sexton says that the grave is visited by
many people from a distance, especially old
people who had known Dow in his life time.

The DAY.-ThIs is "Gocd Friday" which
received its name, according to Wheatly
/" from the blessed efforts of our Sayiour's
suferings which are the grou nd for all our
joys, and from those unspeakable good things
be hath purchased for rs by his death -
Among the SaxOns, it was called Long Friday,
but for what reasons, excepting for the long
fasting and offices they then used, does not
appear. From the very first age Of christian
ity, the commemoration Of our Savicurs suf-
ferings has always been observed as q day Of
the strictest fasting and humiliation; lot that
the grief and affection they then expressed, did
arise from the loss they sustained, but from a
sense OF the guilt Of the sins of the whole world
which drew upon OF blessed Redeemer that
painful and shameful death ofthe oross.'
NATIONAL TaEArsE.-The comedy of " Ex-
tremes " was admirably performed last night
before crowded house. Aside from the great
interest added TO the piece by the suCerior
manner in which Mr.. and Miss Richings per-
formed their respective parts, the vocal eforts
Of the latter being so highly appreciated, the
stage appointments were in capital taste, rem
dsring the entertainment extremely agreeable
even TO the most refined in sentiment To-
morrow evening, it will be seen, a compliment
tary testimonial to those ACCOMPLISHED artists
will como OF and the same series of decided
hits will be enjoyed, We trust, BY an audience
that will render such a demonstration in that
large Theatre, no unmeaning compliment.
GROSS CARELEssNEss.-A correspondent
calls the attention Uf the authorities to the
man-trap on the pavement adjoining Bakers
Hotel, near the third lamp post from Penn
sylyania avenue, on Four-aId- a-half street.
In the shape Of q broken iron shutter, which !
only partially covers the opening to the cellar
underneath. stranger crossing from the |
opposite side of Four and a-half street after
dark would stand a good chance of being
MANNED for life.
Mr.. DEEPsTER The concert Of this IOpu-
lar artist, il will be perceived, has been post
poned until tomorrow evening on account of
the terrible weather with which our city was
afflicted on Tuesday evening last. As bal
lad singer he is at the head OF his profession
IN this country, and richly deserves the plau-
dts Of the large and discriminating audiences
who always attend his entertainments

Mr.. Editor: / wish to inquire when tn st
good time i. coming" that we were led to
believe would come, on the establish ent of
Board OF Health, f" DC, and "for the abate- |
ment and removal Of nuisances ?" The past
winter has afforded fine opportunity to house
keepers TO throw their coal ashes, dirty water,
and ofal Of all sorts, into the cutters and
streets During the intense cold weather it |
excited but little notice but now the filth be-
gins to present itself Enthusiastically. Look at
Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth streets, north of |
the Avenue, TO say nothing Of other parts of
the city, and make note Of the heaps Of 'nui- |
saLces Its dISQraceful N the city I'm u,ors
80 to the housekeepers who permit such things |
In front Of their dwellings exciting the dis |
gust OF every passer-by, and one would sup
pose, even Of those who sanction it II has
led many honest persons to suspect that il is |
al farce having laws and regulations in re. |
gard 10 nuisances that are not enforced. II |
