In MEMoRIAM,

Life is made up of bold and striking con-
trasts. The gay and the sad, the bright and
the sombre, the good and, the evil, meet
our eyes everywhere and, go side by side
on every. hand: These contrasts are nowhere
more manifest and trying in ,life's ex perience
than in connexio lou with the home circle oh.
how frequent its changes, and how sudden too,
from the most tender and cndearing ties to
that of disruption and loneliness. There
Is no spot this side of the Heavenly home
where the sweet graces OF the heart, and the
pleasant virtues of the life, show themselves
in more lovely exercise than in a christian
home. Here, indeed, pleasure in its sweetest
measure, sanctifed by religion, is realized
But this, with all of eartb's loveliest scenes,
may be dashed and destroyed These thoughts
are suggested by the very recent experience
OF one OF our most respected and cherished
families, that of the late VIM. Il. Lock
In one short weeks time its triple cord of
love was sundcred its precious aud hallowed
ties OF hlial. and parental affection were bro
ken as to earth-and what for years was a
happy union of three loving souls, has been
suddenly riven, and but one is left to shed
the burning tears of sorrow. Such is the
work Of death in very little while Yet the
dark cloud has it's bright silver lining
ears oi IeSbeu itu eXenpIlfYed grace showed
its blessed iruitagc in the end The affec>
tionate aud loving sister and daughter whom
none knew but to love aud none named hut to
praise, passed peacefully from earth with the
sweet name of Jesus on her lips. The aged
and venerable mother, like the ripe grain
fully ready to be garuered, gave her last bles-
sing to weeping children, invoking the come
in" Of the Lord Jesus quickly to her relief.
We bow in submission to that will which does
not change, to that wisdom which does, not
err, to that love which knows no caprice, and
commend to the bereaved and sorrowing ones
the following beautiful sentiments:
There ia secret in the ways of God
With hia own children. hiCh none others
Know that swce;ens a Il he does
Aud II such peace, while under his ailtictnm
Hand we find,
What vii! it be to Him lie is

RAILROAD. MArrERs.-From tbe on,

RAILROAD MATTERs.-From the Cham-
bersburg, (Peun.) Ka1ey Spirit we learn
that at an adjourned meeting of the Di-
rectors of the Cumberland Valley Railroad,
held In Philadelphia on the:27th ult, Thos.
b. Kennedy, Esq, of Chambersburg, was
elected Vice President and General Manager
of the Cumberland Valley Railroad and the
connecting roads leased and controlled by
that corporation.
The Hagerstown alaa, commenting on this
change, says:
This change in the management, may also
produce other changes. of a temporary char
acter, prompted by considerations of economy
to the company, WHICH may, for the time, dis
appoint many of the. citizens of our county,
as well as of the northern portion of Jefferson
County, Virginia If, as may be, for the times
being, determined upon, the route of the
Shenandoah Railroad from Charlcstown should
be changed, SO that the road will be made to
cross the Potomac River upon the bridge
which has been built at PowelI's Bend instead
OF Shepherdstown. not only that place, but
Sharpsburg and one of the most fruitful por
tons OF our own county. which had been au-
tlcipating this favor, will be disappointed-
Sh"nld such change of LOCATION be made. it
would be for the, purpose Of saving at present,
the expense Of building another bridge over
the Potomac, and OF utilizing that portion of
the road already finished between Hayerstown
and Fowclfs Bend, which was built by the
Cumberland Valley Railroad Company That
such change Of route as this will be made.

collector of InternaI Revenue

We understand that Rush Burgess, Esq,
Collector of Internal Revenue for this Dis
trict, received, on Saturday last, his
renewal bond from the department at
Washington, which was executed, with the
proper sureties, in the sum of one hundred
thousand dollars, and returned agreeably to
instructions. This we suppose settles the
question of incumbency for the next four
years. We have refrained from any COM
ments in regard to this office, while
the matter of appointment was in
dispute, or in doubt even but we should
be derelict of our duty not to speak of the
high estimation. in which Mr.. Burgess has
been, and still is. held by the business men
of Richmond, as an efficient and courteous
public officer. To administer his office to
the entire satisfaction of the business men
of this city, and with the marked approval
of the department at Washington (as must
have been the case TO account for his reten-
ton under the circumstanees), is no small
evidence of the ability, courtesy, prompt
ness, and entire trustworthiness with which
he has administered the Office for the last
four years.

SOME facts in regard to the difference
between the tariffs of Great Britain and
the United States, culled from recent En-
lish publication, are particularly noticeable.
But seventeen articles in all come under the
notice of the customhouse officers of Great
Britain. These are beer, cards, chicory,
chocolate, cocoa, coffee, fruit, malt, pickles
plate, spirits, spruce, sugar articles, tea,
tobacco, vinegar and wine. OF these pick
les and playing cards produced SO small a
revenue that in fact the whole revenue
came from fifteen articles OF these
articles, IN vinegar produced the
least namely, 1862, and tobacco the most,
namely e6,S73 ,094, OF 81 per cent. of the
whole. Spirits stand next in productive
ness, yielding "a, 527,7l7, little more
than % per cent. of the whole. The
| whole revenue collected in England last
year was e20.215,9 1928. In the United
States five hundred and sixteen articles are
taxed, against seventeen in Great Britain
Every duty in England is specific, except
that on the essence of spruce. In this
country there are one hundred and one ar
ticles which are charged with specific ant
ad valorem duties combined. Tea ant
coffee are both charged with duty in Brit
ish tariff, and yielded together, last year
sl7, 242, 745 of our money, and both arr
free under our present tariff, though theil
present prices would not indicate it.

The author of this interesting volume is
a splendid preface-writer, and has a true
idea Of what a work of fiction should be,
to wit: a work of absolute truth, both as
to history and art. Its preface contains
only some sixteen lines, all told and he
who reads them will dive into the very
bowels of the work, if he does not
deyour 1t to the end. The volume
is a very clever satire on one
