first OF January, when sinking will be
resumed. and drifting into the 250.foot

good indications. Everything in and

desks and saw hOr slyly reading the letter and
trying to keep back the tears; but we went
over to the third girl behind to borrow a geog-
raphy, and to the second girl in front to bor.
row grammer, and we were entirely uncon-
sclous OF the presence of the girl we loved.
We stood beside her in the class as straight as

the mutual agreement that if the one missed

together, was broken. We tried to feel mali.

Once in a while we caught her looking at us

her note said that she couldn't part with the
letters and the keepsakes. We held out

we moved nearer. She said it WASH her faul

No one knew what burden of anxiety wa.

The FUNERALS OF TO-DAY.-Modest fune-
rails at modest prices are not the rule in New
York, local paper says: a prominent under
taker says that every funeral he has had charge
OF in the last few mouths has cost at least $415.
That sum represents only the amount paid to
himself. Metallic caSkets only are used in fash
Onabe funerals, except for very old people,
who are content with wooden collins covered
with cloth, costing 500. The caskets range from
$50 to $3.50. The lat are marvels of luxury
and are furnished with all the modern con-
veniences. In a funeral, then, where sorrow
can be INDUCED into the widest excess, the
casket will cost 1850; the hearse II; eight
carriages at $3.50 each, 500; porterS Sc;
gloves for the pail bearers, pOrters, undertaken
and clergyman $50 undertaker'S attention
$40, and the opening of the grave 81, which
makes up the total of $4i5 that the under
taker receives. Ii the funeral takes place at
a church, the sexton receives $40; there is 81
extra on each one of the carriages. The choir
in most churches is paid. In Catholic churches
the organ choir and draping OF the church
complete in black will be furnished for Sl60.
The expenses added, which are by no means
unusual, bring the cost up to $685., and by no
means includes number of important items
which go to make up a fashionable funeral.
Not the least of these is the flowers. They are
furnished as certainly as the coffin, forming q
very important part of what one might call the
trousseau of DEATH These are, to be sure, not
all furnished by the family of the dead, but
they are in part A moderate basket OF
flowers. such as are used on the occasions costs
800, out of season; and one basket OF flowers
is scarcely perceived in the floral luxurlance
which usually is seen.

Their coming sire to see.

And naught is left to my watching sight
But the shadows to and fro.
And the one sweet thought of her within.
