'Home-bear me home at last'-he said.
4ay me where my dead are lying
But not while skies are overspread,
And mournfQl wintry winds are signing
Wait till the royal march of spring
Carpets the mountain fastness over
Till chattering birds are on the wing,
And buzzing bees are in the clover.
"Wait till the laurel bursts its buds,
And creeping ivy filings its graoes
About the liohen'd rocks-and foods
Of sunshine fill the places
'"Then-when the sky, the air. the grass
Sweet N ature all, is glad and tender,
Then, bear me through the Goshen Pass,
Amid its flash of May-day splendor"
SO aoiU we bear himi Human heart
To Natures own drew never nearer;
And never stopped she to mpart
Her lore to one who held it dearer.
The stars had secrets for him: Seas
Revealed the depths their waves were
screening:
The winds gave up their mysteries.
The tidal flows confessed their meaning.
Of Ocean-paths, the tangled clew
He taught the nations to unravell;
And showed the track. where safely through.
The lightning footed thought might travel.
And yet, unspoiled by all the store
Of Natures grander revelations,
Who bowed more lovingly before
The lowliest of her fair creations
No sage OF all the sageg past.
Am6ered in Flutarch's limpid story,
Upon his living age has cast
A radiance touched with truer glory.
His noble living for the ends
Gcd sent him-{duty underlying
Each thought, word, action neught tran
scends
In lustre, save his nober dying.
DO homage, sky, and air, and grass
All things he cherished sweet and tender,
AS through our gorgeous Mountain Pass,
We bear him il his sunset splendor9

Senator Boutwell, and Phelps, Dodge
& Co.
Senator Boutwell,, who was at the Treasury
Department to-day, emphaticaly contradicted the
recent statement by Phelps, Dodge 4 Co. that the
sum OF $27l,000 was forced out OF them
by way OF compromise in their recent
difficulty with the Department.. He said
when the charges OF fraud we're brought
against that firm they filed a statement at the
Treasury asserting their innocence. and Offering to
pay the $27l, 900. Mr. Boutwell,, who was then
Secretary OF the Treasury declined to receive the
money, and notified the firm that the Courts were
open, and II they were innocent of the charges
they should go into Court and prove their
innocence. Upon this notification they with.
drew the assertion OF their innocence
and 1t was then their offer to compromise
was entertained. The Department in no case ac-
cepts money OF any party charged VINO claims to
be innocent, being allowed by law to compromise
with Offenders only after guilt is admitted and 1t
was on this distinct understanding that the COM
promise with Phelps, Dodge Il Co. was made
Never while Boutwell, was at the head OF the Treas
ury Department was any compromise made with
persons who claimed to be innocent.
