The Burden OF the Day

Who shall rise and cast away,
First, the Burden Of the Day?
Who assert his place, and teach
Lighter labor, nobler speech,
Standing firm, erect and strong,
Proud as Freedom, free as Song!
II.
IoI we groan beneath the weight
Our own weaknesses create;
Crook the knee and shut the lip,
All for tanner fellowship;
Load our slack, compliant clay
With the Burden of the Day!
Higher paths there are to tread;
Fresher fields around US spread
Other flames of sun and star
Flash at hand and lure afar;
Larger manhood might we share,
Surer fortune, did We daIe!
In our mills of common thought
By the pattern all is wrought:
In our school of life, the man
Drills to suit the public plan,
And through labor, love and play,
Shifts the Burden of the Day.
Power of all is right of nonel
Right hath each beneath the sun
To the breadth and liberal space
Of the independent race
To the chariot and the steed,
To the will, desire and deed!
All, the gods of wood and stone
Can a single saint dethrone,
But the people who shall aid
'Gainst the puppets they have made ?
First they teach and then obey:
IT'S the Burden of the Day.
VII.
Thunder shall we never hear
In this ordered atmosphere
Never this monotony Ieel
Shattered by trumpet's peal
Never airs that burst and blow
From eternal submits know?
VIII.
Though no man resent his wrong,
Still is free the poets song:
Sull, a stag, his thought may leap
Ger the herded swine and sheep,
And in pastures far away
Lose the Burden of the Day!

FUNERAL OF 7. W. WASON.-Rarely
is a private citizen so honored in his bur
ial as Thomas W. Wason. The ceremOn-
les on Thursday were amply attended by
his many friends and business acquaint-
ances in all circles of the city society,
but the most notable feature thereof was
the full array of his workmen, little less
than 300 in number, each wearing Grape
badges. These formed near the car works
on Lyman street, SHORTLY after 2 o'clock
and walked in procession to Mr. Vase n
late home on Liberty street, the ROAD ne4
being, from this time and for an ho' IT and
half thereafter, entirely left to = IA funera
assemblage Prayer was off cred NJ IN,

deceased's former pastor md close friend
and thence the long ord err of carriages ant
the procession of emr, loves moved to st
PauIs Church, betrHeen and 4 o'clock
The mortal remajns of Mr.. Wason wer
borne into the Church between the files O
men, the bear ers being Chester W. Chap
in, Eiiphalet, Trask, Willis Phelps, Jane
Kirkham, Henry Morris, Homer Foot
Henry Gay and John Mulligan, and werl
placed before the desk during the service
The casket, a costly and elegant one, wa
adorned and surrounded with flowers
while the pulpit, choir gallery and vesti
bule were hung with black and decorated
with exquisite taste. The sermon wa
preached by Rev. Mr.. Nye, in his usua
direct and earnest manner, dwelling a
full length upon Mr.. Wason's industr,
and achievements, his well-earned ant
never ill-used fortune and the unchal
lenged integrity of his character. Man,
man dealing with him for years AM
in varying and sometimes very vas
amounts, has spoken of him as tn
handsomest man he ever met, and ever,
other who knew him will echo this re
pute. He was marked example of tn
self-made man, owing nothing to fortun e
everything to his determined industry
skill and honor. Rev. Mr.. Nye also men
toned Mr.. Wason's lingering last SICK
, ness, and the faithful devotion OF hi
mourning wife. Pew. Mr.. Twiss and Rev
DIR. Thayer of Boston also participated IL
the services and the music was charac
terized by an uncommon appropriateness
The remains were halted on their way on
in the vestibule for the view of all sucl
as desired it, and near 6 o'clock the pro
cession moved to the cemetery, where tn
body was committed unto dust.-SpriIag
