The End OF All.

The End CT All.
Wandering along a waste
Where once city stood,
saw ruined tomb.
And in that tomb an rrn,-
A sacred funpml-urn.
Without name, or date,
And in its hollow depths
A little human dust!
Whose dust is this | asked,
In this forgotten urn,
And whore this waste now lies
What city rose Of old!
None knows: its uamc is lost;
1t was. and is no more:
Gone like wind that blew
A thousand years ago
It's melancholy end
Will be the end Of all;
For, as it passed away
The universe will pass;
Its sole memorial
Some ruined world, like ours;
A solitary urn,
Full Of the dust of men!

The President and Commits
sioners of ElIxton present to the
Citizens the following Stat EN- ent

TNllEI find on the Books which como into
L their hands that the debts of the town
amount to Se6l.2l; and they have levied for
the present year, at 30 cents per hundred
dollars, the sum of 81 ,0GS,O6. The cost of
collecting the same, at 10 per cent, will be
Sl0G.8l, and the probable amount of insol-
vcncies will be $4,000. AS there are some
accounts against the town, that are not on
the books, and have not yet been presented,
the debt will probably amount to $500. 90.
The Commissioners will, therefore, have
only the sum Of $9Il.25 to pay the above
debt, and make improvements and necessary
repairs. BY Order.
