A number of versiiiers live well in New
York by supplying graveyard poetry to peo-
pie who have been bereaved of their friends
and relatives by deaths. They carefully pc
ruse the newspaper obituary column every
day, and select from ii the places of death
where they imagine a few dollars can be made
by writing rhymes to soothe the feelings or
fatter the vanity of tender-hearted survivors.
The price of these etfilsions is often as low rs
twenty-five cents, and seldom higher than $40.

nations, accompanied me in my visi
tations, and manifested willingness
to cooperate in everything that was
calculated TO advance the interests of
the schools. They are efficient, self
sacrificing men, and deserve com.
mendation for the faithful discharge
OF their duties. II is TO be regretted,
however, chat there are a few directly
opposed to the common school system
hence to the best interests of the
chlldren-and the people, who elect
them, are the losers, in having poor
schools, which generally is the result
OF arbitrariness and q narrow minded
policy. The future welfare of the
children and schools, as well as every
other consideration, demands that
none but liberal-minded men, men
who know the value and necessity of
an education, and who feel an interest
in the cause Of common schools, should
be elected to fill such an important
Office. Efficient directors will employ
competent teachers, and live teachers
will make good schools.
CONCLUSION.

that my efforts to render
the school system more efficient in this
have not been wholly in vain
and with the proper cooperation Of

efforts of her children, James and
Mary, to accompany them on an ex-

she knew something would happen
She took her seat with fear and trem-
bling, taking hold Of the arm of the

was late, as excursion trains are
usually, and in coming round n curve
the Boston express train was on
the same track, both nearing each
other rather faster than was pleasant
The momentum of each train was
noarly lost, and they only came to-

We claim for this oil many merits over coal
or kerosene oil; among which are the following;
1t is non-explosive, hence it is perfectly safe,
1t is cheap.
1t is cleaner, and leaves no grease on any.
thing it may come in contact with.
1t does not scent or smoke tho chimney.
1t makes a much better and softer light, and
a given quantity will burn as long as the same
