Yes; all is ended now, for have weighed thee
weighed the light love that has been held so
dear
Weighed word and look, and smile that have betray-
ed thee;
The careless grace that was not worth tear.
Holding these seaes, marvel at the anguish
For thing so slight that long my heart has form
For Gods great sun the prisoners eyes might Ian
guish.
Not for torch by some CHANGE pa ser torne.
do not blame the for thy needless playing
On the strong chords whose answer was SO full
Do children care, through daisied meadows straying
What hap befalls thee blossoms that they pull? -
Go on, gay triferi Take thy childish pleasure
49, On thee, for thee, may summer always shine
Too stern were Justice should she seek to measure
my htfull love by the strong pain of mine.

SALARIES OF THE POLICE.

TIE CORPORATION COUNSEL THINKS THE LAW OF
1866 WAS ABROGATED-HIs PLAN FOR DETER
MINING THE REDUCTION OF SALARIES.
CORPORATION Counsel Whitney sent a written
opinion TO the Board of Apporuonmen yesterday that
the salaries Of policemen cannot be reduced 20 per cent
under law passed in 1866. providing for such re-
ducon In their salaries the resumption OF specie
payments. He cites the following provision in the
charter OF 1873: every person connected with the
Police Department OF the City Of NewYOrk at the time
this act shall take effect shall continue in Office and the
amount OF salary compensation now legally paid to
such person. shall be the salary and compensation fixed
for his office this act" In regard to tns provision
he then says: -, -,

FISH the salary or compensation Of every person con-
nected WITH the Police Department at the sum legally
said charter Of 1873" He adds that the act makes
distinction between the salaries OF commission
ers, clerks and employees OF the metropolitan
Police, aud OF patrolmen and doormen. Even
not affect the pay of patrOmen and doOrmcn. OBJ
serve" he SAYS, that contrary opinion has been oX
Profession entities their opinion TO the most serious

for 1879 to Ponce Department to have the question
iudclally determined by test case, which could be
passed upon speedily not 10 Work great hardship
TO the members OF the force"
Mr. Whitney closes his paper with an opinion on the
salaries Of tremen. After discussing the bearing OF
various laws GU the subject which were passed up to
1873, he saws: This situation again changed by
the charter OF 1873 which 10 the head OF each de-
partment the power to fix and regulate the salaries OF
the subOrdnates Of the department. This placed the
matter hands OF the Board of Fire Commissioners,
