A Year Ago bend.

A year ago dead The time seems like years
80 long and so sad, with these wearsomc tears.
How little you loved me, thus to wander away,
Adown in the dark of that terrible day
When death sInote thy face
Laid his merciless hand on my love and NY pride,
And gathered my heart in his palms till you died
In Gods love and grace.
It is such long, such dark, stormy night,
Since you that your brown eyes on my wondering
sight
Stole away nom my love to greater, grand bliss
And scaled the adicu with death-struggling kiss
Becoming Immortal,
That wonder if ever the day will be creaping
Out Of the thorn, when, with my SORROW and
weeping,
81 enter deaths portal
Oh, polcs coii face, lying dead there below
The wintry frost aud the falling white snow,
Yet looking so grandly calm in thy rest,
With hands meelly folded above the still breast
..tt One more TO deaths number
Would gladly that 1, with thee silently sleeping,
Were drcamlcss forever, instead Of this weeping
Eternal calm slumbcr
Soon the wild-woodcd daisies and the sweet clover,
blowing,
WIN cover thy grave with their tuatcd white
showing,
When the bright, tender grass, springing out
from the ground,
Shall cover the brow of that long, slender mound
BY thy narrow, sad bed;
sBut eternal the spring that fadoth, oh, never
sAndthric golden the summer that is eyer and
ever
With heavens own dead

The clerks nf the Chicago post
Office, both male and female, and all
their carriers, were called together
by the Chief Clerk few days ago
and notified that they were invited
to contribute out Of their salaries a
certain amount for campaign pur-
poses. This news, according to the
Chicago Tribune, produced a deci-
ded sensation, and a universal in
quiry was propounded to the Chief
Clerk whether this contribution
was of compulsory nature. lie
said no. Several anxious ladies and
letter-carriers then desired to know
whether, in case they failed TO COM
ply with this pressing invitation
they would be likely to retain their
situations, upon which point the
Chief Clerk announced that he had
not been informed. A consultation
over General Grants method Of en-
forcing Civil Service Reform, how
ever did not impress the employees
tfayorably, and they have decided
to pay this tant on their scanty
earnings, rather than be removed
out Of their places. .a
