THBT4 FRIENDS BURIAL. -ol.
By JOHN G. WHITTIER. ss l@fe-
MY thoughts are all in yOnder town.
Where, wept by many tears
To-day my mothers friend lays down
The burden of her years.
True as in life no poor disguise
OF death with her is seen,
And on her simple casket lies
No wreath of bloom and green.
not for her the florists art
Ihe,m ocking weeds of woe, @ 50
But blessings of the voiceless heart,
The love that passeth show!
Yet all about the sOftening air
OF newborn sweetness tells, 6
And the ungathered May-foWers wear
.ea Inc tnts of ocean shells.
The old, assuring miracle
Is fresh as heretofore; Il En-
And earth takes up its parable @@~
Of life from death once more.
Here organ swell and church bell toll
Methnks but discord werc
The prayerful silence of the soul
Is best befitting her.
No sound should break the quietude
Alike of earth al d sky
wandering wind in Seabrook wood,
Breathe but half heard sighl
Sing softly, spring bird, for her sake,
And thou not distant sea,
Lapse lightly as if Jesus spake,
And thou vert GaElee! -
For all hor quiet life flowed on
AS meadow streamlets flow,
Where freshcr green reveals alone
The noiseless ways they go.
From bnr 1Ovcd DIano of ,,ro1yar T COO
The plain-rObed mOurners pass,
With slow feet treading reverently
The graVcyard's springing grass.
Make room, 0 mourning ones for me-
Where, like the friends of Paul,
That you no more her face shall see
You sorrow most of all
Her path shall brighten more and more
Unto the perfect day;
She cannot fal OF peace who bore
Such peace with her away.
o sweet calm face that seemed TO wear
That look of sins forgiven
voice OF prayer that seemed TO bear
Our own needs up tC heaven
How reverent in our midst she stood,
Or knelt in grateful praisel
What grace of Christian womanhood
Was i'll her household ways!
For stillher holy living meant
No duty left Undonc
The heavenly and the human blcnt
Their kindred loves in one.
And if her life small leisure found
Forfeasting ear and eye
And pleasure IN her daily round,
She passed unpausing by,
Yet with her went sacred sense
OF all things sweet and fair,
And beautys greatest providence
Refreshed her unaware.
She kept her line of rectitude
With loves unconscious ease;
Her kindly instincts understood
All gentle cOurtesies.
An inborn charm Of graeiousness'
Made sweet her smile and tone,
And glorfed her farm-wife dress
With beauty not its own.
The dear Lords best interpreters
Are humble human souls;
The Gospel of a life like hers.
Is more than. books and scrolls.
From scheme and creed the light goes out,
THE saintly fact survivcs;
The blessed Master none can doubt
Revealed in holy lives.

INcENDIARIsM-The National Board of
Fire Underwriters, at their late meeting
in the city of New York, resolved to raise
a fund of 100000 for the detection, con-
viction, and punishment of parties en-
gagged in the nefarious business of in
cendiarism and arson. The Executive
Committee of that Board, at their meeting
on May Is, 1873, carried out the resolution
and opened the subscription. This is
step in the right direction.

The farm lands of California are gen.
orally deteriorating, according to the San
Francisco Bulletin. During the last ten
or fifteen years the crops have constantly
been growing smaller. The trouble Is at
tributable to bad system OF agriculture,
and the failure to sow crops OF Iertlllz,
ing character. The evil is widespread
and serious. and, if not abated, will inter-
fere with the progress and prosperity Of
the State.

district plan, and 100000 lower than
the appropriations for 1878 under the old
eystem. The estimates for the fiscal year
1874 show further reduction Of 50, AIS, or
81 .O69, 458 less than the appropriation for
the fiscal year 1873, and S1,072,285 less
than the estimate for 1874 on the eighty
district plan. The Commissioner recon-
mends that Collectors salaries be fixed
at amounts ranging from $4,000 to $4,000,
and Supervisors salaries at $4,000 per
annum, and repeats the suggestion con-
tanned in his report November 81, 1871,
that Sec. A of the act of July 20, 1868, be
amended by making the minimum pen
atty smaller, such penalty being now a
fine of not less than 81 900, with not less
than six months imprisonment
The Commissioner recommends legis-
lation limiting the time to July 1, 1874,
within which documentary stamps, IS
sued under Schedule B, Of greater de-
nomination than 2 cents, may be present
Cd for redemption. The report concludes
with the suggestion, made in the last an
nual report, that the amendments Of June
6. 1872, TO Sec. SO of the act of July 20,
1868, relating to special taxes of dealers
In liquors, should be made more explicit.

Patent-OiIice Statistics.

A statement prepared by the Commits
sioDer of Patents for the coming report OF
the Secretary of the Interior, shows that
during the year ending Sept. 30, 1878,
there were filed in the Patent Office co.
354 applications for patents, including re-
issues and designs; 1888 applications for
the extension of patents, and $40 applica-
tions for registering trademarks. Twelve
thousand nine hundred and seventeen
patents. including reissues and designs,
were issued, 235 extended, and 965 allow
ed but not issued by reason of non-pay-
ment of the final fee; 3,274 caveats were
filed, and 475 trademarks registered. The
fees received during the same period from
all sources amounted to SOL ,449.72, and
the total expenditure to 5000, AS. SO, max
ing the receipts $2,167 in excess of the
expenditures. The appropriations asked
for the fiscal year ending June 30 1875, is
$693,50O. The expenditures included
$4,000 for the publication of the Official
Gazette;; $4,000 for printing current
drawings, and 100000 for the reproduc-
ton of old drawings. These items were
unusual, and accounts for the absorption
of most of the customary excess of re-
ceipts over expenditures. The cost of
printing current drawings has heretofore
been betrayed out of the Government
Printing Office appropriations. In regard
to the reproduction Of old drawings, the
Commissioner considers the amount ex.
pended for that purpose good invest
ment, not only with reference to the intel
ligent advancement of the manufacturing
interests of the country, but financially,
as they are now being sold at two or three
times their actual cost. The Commission
er again invites earnest attention to the
great want of additional room for the
proper transaction Of the business of the
office, stating that it is utterly impossible
to properly classify the work of the office
in order to insure its being economically
and well done in The present crowded
state of the files, records, and exhibits.
