While the City Reform bills were before the
LEGISLATURE. our model Mayor threatened to resign
and leave the city without model Mayor, and let
il 90 TO ruin in case those bills (Which only pro-
posed to relieve him Of some of his more arduous
duties should become laws. Those reform meas
ures were passed into laws, real statute laws; still,
purely out of regard for the public good, our model
Mayor withdrew his terrible threat, and concluded
to serve the city little while longer. But the
result Of the recent election at Tammany Hall has,
il is said, so dsgusted the model Mayor with poll
tics that he has finally resolved to withdraw from
public life forever and seek repose in tour on
The Continent of Europe We have been told, but
cannot vouch for the truth of the statement that
the model Mayor was yesterday negotiating for
passage to Europe-in the ship Joseph Walker

whose name there were for years n

by balmy spring, each sorrow by a

Isaw the leaves only nipped and fad

tho weight OF golden fruit.
Her abundant hair was soft and

was combed plainly over that calm,
pure brow, which even time had not

could never have been even in sunny

Mother Allen was nolady of leisure

voice mingle with the murmuring Of
the pines, whilo she plead with Him
who "heareth the young ravens when
they cry that He would send bread
