Who. looking backward from his manhood's prime
Sees not the spectre Of his misspent time;
And through the shade
OF Funeral cypress planted thick hehird,
Hears no reproachu whisper ON the wind
From the loved dead!
Who bears no trace Of PASSIONS evil force!
Who sluns thy sting, o terrible Remorse
WHO would not cast
Half of this future from him, but to win
""holeso oblivion for the wropg and sin
OF the sealed Past.
Alas! the evil which We fiin would shun,
We do, and leave the wished for good undore;
Our strength to-day
l. but to-nurrow's weakness, prone to fall;
Poor, blind, Improbable servants all,
Are we alway.
Yet who, thus looking backward DER his years,
Feels not his eyes wet with grateful tears,
II he bath been
Permitted, weak aud sinful Us lic was,
To cheer and aid, in some ennoJling cause,
His fellow men?
II he hath hidden the outcast, or let in
y ray Of sunshine to the call Of sin;
If hc hath lent
Strength to the weak, aud, in the hour Of need,
Over the suffering, mindless Of his creed
Or hue, hath bent.
llc hath not lived in vain; and while he gives.
The praise 10 Him in whom he moves and lives,
With thankful heart,
lie gazcs backward. and with hope before,
Knowing thnt from hi- works hc never more
Can hence.orih part.

A WORD ABOUT SCHOOL GIRLS.

The principal Of one of the best and most
popular female boarding schools in New York
lately said that she considered almost every one
Of her pupils proper subject for medical treat
ment. At first thought we would say that she
ought 20 name her school Mrs - S fashion
able hospital. But what, then, should we style
the numerous schools which are not so good as
hers9 The fault is with no one person, but
with our habits of life. 1t is a notorious fact
that the women of this country are far less ro-
bust and healthy than their cousins in England.
They live too much indoors, and in overheated
and ill-ventilatcd rooms. They take too little
exercise. Their nervous system is developed
too rapidly, and the muscular system, the vital
powers, are too much neglected. The school
occupies the girls morning entirely, music and
other accomplishments the afternoon, study or
society the evening aud too much OF the night,
and the few hours left for sleep do not suffice
to rest and refresh the body for the same weary
ing round the next day.
The over-tasked, over-excited frame becomes
an easy prey to insidious disease. intellectual
and social ambition both of parents and child
forbid her to relax her efforts Oh account of any
slight arrangement of health, and she tolls on
under the most tremendous pressure, till at last
poor nature can endure it no longer, and the
girl gldes into her grave, or takes her place in
that great and increasing company of perma-
nent invads, who remain as mere wrecks OF
their former selves, victims of their mistakes,
and eloquent warnings to those who come after
them. We do not now speak of carelessness
about food and dress. which is so fruitful a
source of disease. We limit ourselves to this
excessive stimulation of the brain, this over
working of it and the body, and the want of
proper and sufficient outdoor exercise. Owing
TO our hurrying system there is danger that
pirls in tle old Fashioned sense of the word,
will be classed among the extinct species, as
boys have been for some time in our cities. We
lift up our voice, asking parents and educators
to try to avert such calamity as that. We
know that we have said, and that we can say,
nothing new upon this theme; but we can at
least call attention to these simple facts, which
everybody sees and knows.-Pror. Journal

the charge could have been made, it would have

circulation as decent Northern village Journal

charge upon.

4 MOTHERS INFLUENcE.-IIow touching
the tribute of the Hon. T. II. Benton to his
mothers influence
My mother asked me never to use tobacco
| have never touched it from that time to this,
and have never gambled, and | cannot tell
who is winning and who is losing in games that
can be played. She admonished me, too, against
hard drinking; and whatever capacity for en-
durance have at present, and whatever useful
ness | may attain in life, | have attributed to
having complied with her pious and correct
wishes. When | was seven years of age she
asked me not to drink, and then made res
olution of total abstinence, at time when l
was sole constituent member of my own body,
and that have adhered to it through all time,
| owe it to my mother.

CORPORATION DEvELoPEMENTs-We perceive

competent authority as to the custom Of bargain

ment was made would lead to the inference
that nothing is done by the Corporation which
is not paid for, and perhaps If poor Tucker or
his friends had only placed $4,000 in the
hands Of the Corporation lobby, be might have
different story to tell to-day.
We have now, from the development of
Alderman Brady, the sum which is not snfR-

A PROSPECT OF CLEAN STREETS AT LAST
We perceive that City Inspector Delavan ID
showing himself man of pluck and energy, in
refusing to be trammelled by the Corporation in
the matter of cleaning the streets Though
sick ard PROSTATE in body, his intellect, it
seems, is clear and strong. The new contract
he has entered into with Mr.. Smith for cleaning
the streets gives promise of relief in that most
desirable reform. The plan adopted for clean
ing the streets last year was not according to
the mode prescribed by the charter with re-
ference to large expenditures of the public
money, which is that works of this kind shall
be performed by contract, duly advertised for,
and given to the lowest bidder But it hap
pens that one clause in the charter permits the
heads of executive departments to get Jobs
done, Of less amount than $3.50, without this
form of contract and in this way Mr.. Delavan
was enabled to give out the street cleaning In
small jobs to host of contractors. Mr.. Della
van was appointed by Mr.. Tiemann, and there
was considerable trouble in procuring his coz
firmation by the Board of Aldermen. Whether
any arrangement with regard to street cleaning
jobs had anything to do with his confirmation
We, Of course, cannot say, but we believe the
work was given to the friends and creatures Of
the Aldermen, who, with the assistance Of
villanous broken down carts and miserable
horses, embracing the halt, the lame and tho
blind Of the equine species, pretended to clean
the streets, and didn't do it.
Mr.. Delavan, however, has now resolved
to avail himself of the aforesaid clause il
the charter, without submitting any longer
to the dictation Of the Aldermen, and thus
has contracted with Smith to clean the
streets by separate jobs, not exceeding
the limit of $3.50 each. Mayor Wood APP
proves of this plan; so does Comptroller
Haws; and Judge Bronson, the Corporation
Counsel, has pronounced the plan perfectly ie-
gal under the charter The creatures Of the
Aldermen, therefore, with their wretched carts
and invaded horses, are to be dispensed with
henceforth. Something like 100000 was ex-
pended amongst this class last year; and va
shall see whether, under the new system, tho
streets will not be kept cleaner this year for
100000. The Aldermen may rant and fume
as much as they will at this arrangement, which
deprives their friends and supporters Of the
spoils, but the public will give credit to Col
Delavan for his pluck in throwing of the tram
mels Of their influence, and resolving to give ~
clean streets at last

THE OPER-This will be positively the last

and the last during which the New York pub.
lie will have an opportunity of hearing their
pet prima donna, probably, for some years to

as Mdlle. Patti, and it is certain that they

singer was when she first stormed the hearts,
and carried away the sympathies of our New

MAYOR WooD's PLAN OF ADVERTISING Orur-
rAEoEs-The plan adopted by Mayor Wood, II
advertising the ordinances of the Corporstioa
in the public prints before receiving his saas-
ton, in order that parties interested may hsvs
an opportunity of presenting their views upea
them, ms been pronounced perfectly legal aaA
constitutional by the Corporation Counsel, Nh.
Bronsd4 The Journal Of Commerce, it appearv,
had conscientious scruples about the legality
Of the proceedings, and declined to advertise
them. The opinion of Mr.. Bronson, however,
settles the question of its legality, a. tAs
discernment Of the public has long since d.
cided the question of Its utility. As an exan-
pie of the value Of advertising those ordinauoes
before they become law, several new streets
were ordered to be opened in the region above
Seventy-eighth street. which were wholly unas-
'cessary, by private resolution Of the Corpo-
ration, about which nobody knew anything
except themselves and the contractors; and the
property owners were startled when they saw,
by the publication, that they were going to be
saddled with an immense expense for nothing.
In this case, the publication of the ordinance
saved them several thousand dollars, and no
doubt hundreds of instances of the same kind
will occur. The factis, there are about hundred
and fifty contractors and spectators in the
city-headed by George Law and James Petit
grew-who are always on the lookout for jobs
in opening streets here, there, and everywhere
that any money can be made; and it is through
their influence that resolutions of this kind are
put through the Common Council. We DONE
know whether the leading members of this
hungry gang approach the Corporation Them
selves, but it is evident that somebody doess
and often with ruinous results 10 the properly
holders.
Since the Journal Of Commerce declined 10
publish the ordinances, they have been con-
fined to the HERALD, Tribune and Ne,os; but we
understand that the Mayor is about to select
another paper for the purpose. We recommend
him to take either the Times or the Sun-papem
which are conducted on the modern plaa.
There is no use in advertising in papers of the
last century. We advise Mayor Wood to look
over the Times and Sun, and select the one
which has the largest circulation and is con-
Quoted with the most decency and talent, bat
by no means to give the advertising to the
