GENTLEMEN: The Special Commit

respectfully beg leave to offer the
following preamble and resolutions
as their report:
Whereas it has pleased the Great
Judge Eternal to remove from earth,
in the midst of life of usefulness,
in the meridian Of his days, our fell
low-Alderman, John Stork, ESQ,
who, after a short but painful i'll
ness. was summoned hence, to meet
in the grand council on high, where
the sick are at rest and the weary
cease from their labors. This board
will miss his benevolent face and
kindly smile; his ever-active and
persevering assistance in all that
related to the business of the city.
The citizens will miss his counsel, as
it was always conscientious and de-
voted solely to their interest. Let
us endeavor to emulate his virtues,
and throw the mantle of charity over
his human frailties, whatever they
may have been. To his disconsolate
widow and fatherless sons, the SYM
pathy of this board is freely and
kindly rendered, for the great loss
they have sustained, in loving hus-
band, a kind parent, provident
provider. AS citizens, we mourn the
loss of an upright, honest man-the
noblest work of God. Be it, there
fore,
Resolued, That in the death OF AL
derman John Stork, this board has
lost an able and conscientious coun-
cillor.
ReSoIved, That this board deeply
sympathize with his sorrows stricken
widow and fatherless sons; may the
protecting arm of an over-ruling
Providence guide them safely through
life.
Resoloed, That page in our re-
cord book be dedicated to his me-
mory.
Resolped, That certified copy of
the above preamble and resolutions
be forwarded to his widow, through
the City Clerk, under the seal of the
city.
Respectfully submitted,

THE London Lancet is of the opin-
ion that if women would only let their
own hair be just bound down as nat
ural covering to their heads, would
clothe their bodies sensibly without
pinching themselves into unnatural
shapes, would wear well-shaped boots
in which they might walk comfortably
and taste the pleasures of exercise,
there would soon be an end to that
representative class Of the female sex
about whom the doctor knows great
deal.

When I was boy, and a number
of my playmates had rambled through
the field and woods till quite forget
ting the fading light, we found our
selves far from home. Indeed we had
lost our way. 1t did 50 happen that
we were nearer home than we thought /;
but how to get to it was the question.
By the edge ofthe field we saw man
coming along, and we ran to ask him
to tell us. Whether he was in trou-
BILE or not l do not know, but he gave
us some very surly answers. Just
then came along another man, neigh
Dor, with merry smile on his face.
"Jim," said he, "a mans tongue is
like that of cat. 1t is either piece
Of velvet or piece of sand-paper,
Just as he likes to use it or to make it ;
and | declare you always use your
tongue like sand-paper. Try the vel
vet, man, try the velvet principle" /"
This was said to the surly man, but l
have always remembered it.-Blind

which she gave at the last election.
