Mothers Grave.


-....-.., BY G. d. PRENTICE.
The trembling dewdrops fall
Upon the shutting flowers, like souls
at rest;
The stars shine gloriously, and all
Save me are blest.
Mother, | love thy grave!
The violetwith its blossoms blue and
mild,
Waves Ger thy head. When will it
wave
Above thy child?
TITS sweet flower, yet must
Its bright leaves to the morning tenn
pest bow.
Dear mother, tits thine cmblem-dust
Is on thy brow. sf
And could love to die
To leave untasted life's dark, bitter
streams, I...
By thee, as erst in childhood, lie,
And share thy dreams.
And | must linger here
To stain the plumage of my sinless
years, ...... M
And mourn.the hopes of childhood dear
With bitter tears.
Aye, I must linger here,
Alonely branch upon witheredtre
Whose last frail leaf untimely sere
Went down with thee.
Oft from life's withered bower,
In still communion with the past, |
turn
And muse on thee, the only flower
In memory's urn.
And when the evening pale
Bows like a mourner on the dim, blue
wave,
1 stray to hear the night winds wall
Around thy grave.
Where is thy spirit flown?
/ gaze above-thy look is imaged
there
listen, and thy gentle tone
Is on the air.
Oh, come, while here / press
My brow upon thy grave, and in those
mild
And thrilling tones of tenderness,
Bless, bless thy child!

THE TAX-BILL IMBROGLIO.

1t will be seen by the proceedings Of the
Board OF Aldermen at their last meeting. that
they have rejected the report OF the Conference
Committee of the two boards upon the tax bill,
and. therefore, that the responsibility for the
failnre of the bill falls upon that board The
point at issue between the two boards was the
amount Of commission to be allowed the Col.
hector, the lower board asking that II should be
restored to two per cent, and the upper board
insisting that but one per cent. should be al.
lowed. A Conference Com mittee was appoint

after elaboration 1t was agreed TO compromise

commission at1E per cent. was one req uiriue
the Collector to employ additional force in his
Office at his own expense. The facts in the
case are, the rate Of commi. sion up to
the time The Republican Collector came in was
two per cent, the act Of Councils previously
passed, only reducing the commission at the

seem that the most bitter Democratic partizsn
could have agreed to the proposition fixing
the commission at one half per cent less com.
mission than when his party were in power,
and especially when coupled with the bro.
viso that the Collector should be required to
employ at his own expense an additional
clerk. The result Of the rejection Of the CON-
ference Committees report by the Board of
Aldermen is perfect deadlock between the
two Boards, not only upon the tax bill. lint
also upon the school bill and appropriation
bill, suspending the payment Of all salaries.
