MIpsIoHr-Thsrs is something beautiful
and sublime iD the bush OF midnight The
myrads Of quiet sleepers, laying down their
life burden, insensibls alike to JOY or sorrow;
helpless alike, the strong man as well as the
infant; and over all the sleeplsss Eve. which
since The world began, has never lost sight
Of one pi!lowsd head. Thoughts like these
come to US iu the waksful night hours, with
an almost painful intensity. Then eternity
seems real. and every life baubls. But

chase them away NJ the warm suu dries up

perform their reviving mission ere they de-

the least of his qualifications for the position
TO which he has been assigned, il his will
lingness to accept all new things which
are found to be improvements, whilst
'holding fast to that which is good' among
'old things In other words, he is not an
'old fogy.' Under the new city charter,
Gin case of the absence or liability Of the

shall possess the same powers and discharge
the municipal duties Of the. Mayor during
such absence or inability .... s-,t....
