POVERTY AND DEATH,

One by one the stars are dying,
And the full moon, cold and proud,
Wraps them in her dreary mantle,
Sable, cold clouds, for a shroud;
MOurnfully the winds are signing
Through the forests, cold and bare,
Signing at the homestead windows,
Playing dirges everywhere.
Mighty oaks, whose giant branches
Bear the marks revered of time,
Bow their heads as in submission,
To the cold December wind.
Sweeping now adown the hillside,
Making winrOws as they go.
Making circles round the oak trees,
Fly huge flakes Of leafy snow.
Creeping through the broken windows,
On the tattered coverlids,
And upon the gray old hearth-stone,
Making tiny pyramids
Many days I've fingered, fingered,
Signing for an endless rest,
Tarried, friendless and fOrsaken
Poverty my only guest.
But this night, so cold and cherries,
All nv sorrows will be DER,
Cease, . heart, thy wild pulsations,
Death is rapping at thy door.

BUSINESS OF BosToN AND New YoRK.-
If the bank loans, as is sometimes said, are the
test of the business of place. then the trade
of New York is about double that of Boston.
As the population Of New York and environs
is about four times that of Boston and its vicin-
ity, we should naturally expect corresponding
difference in the amount of business but all
persons that have investigated the matter know
that the difference in business is not nearly as
great in these two commercial centres as one
would suppose. New York, to be sure, great
ly exceeds in foreign imports and exports but
the vast domestic trade of Boston offsets a part
OF the difference. AS regards bank loans, if
regarded as an evidence of business, it must
be remembered that the loans of Boston do
not show the lChole business of Boston. Mas
sachusetts has great country banking CAPT
tai, which is largely employed by Boston mer-
chants. Some country banks obtain great
portion of their business paper from this city,
and would not have use for one-half of their
capital did they rely on home loans.
The wealth of the two great centres of Bos-
ton and New York amounts to eight hundred
millions of dollars-New York having $685.
100000, Boston $275,O00 900, or a little more
than one half that of New York The pro-
perty of Boston is one hundred millions more
than that of the city of Philadelphia, and near
ly three times that of Baltimore 1t is said
that Boston has more property per capita, than
any other city in the world.-7raveLier

WORCESTER CITY AND COUNTY.

WATER.-The short supply of water in Bell Pond
and the city reservoir connected with it, having rem
dered it necessary for the city to provide for its in
crease of supply in the best and most expeditions
manner possible, it was determined few weeks
since by vote of the City Council, to authorize the
Water Commissioner, Mr. w. d. Cheeyer, to con-
tract with William T. MerTiiied, Esq. for pumping
water from Gates Spring into the pipes of the city
aqueduct, and to make such other arrangements as
might be necessary to accomplish the end proposed
Mr. Cheever at once entered upon the discharge of
the duties assigned to him, and on Wednesday last
the necessary preparations completed for fore
ing the water of the spring into the main pipe of the
aqueduct. This is done by means of a powerful
three-plunger force pump, communicating with the
basin of the spring aud driven by the engine in Mr..
Merriield's building. The diameter Of the pump
cylinder is about three inches and the three plung-
ers keep up an almost constant stream of water from
the spring, amounting to thirty gallons per minute,
twenty thousand gallons during the ten hours of
the day in which the engine is in operation. There
about hundred and twenty takers of the city
water at the present time and the daily consumption
is estimated at seventy thousand gallons. As the
state of the pond and reservoir was such that this
consumption was likely to drain the pond to
its very bottom in few days it had become mat
ter of absolute necessity to obtain an increased sup
ply from source and any of our readers feel
disposed to grumble at the quality of the fluid that
is dispensed through the city aqueduct, they must
remember that the City Fathers had other atern-

of Group, having suffered terribly for several
days. Two days before his death, he called
his father to his bedside, and told him that he
was not going to live, for he had beautiful
dream when he was asleep that told him so.
He dreamed that he stood upon the earth; he
saw God in Heaven looking sweetIy down up
on him; that He let down golden chain,
which fell upon the ground at his feet; and
that as he stopped to look at it, God told
him to take hold of the chain, and He would
draw him up to Heaven and give him a
crown of gold.-Sunday the little spirit was
set free, and the promise was fulfilled!
