I'M HgEMHREAM.

WRITTEN FOR MRS. E. A. SABIN.
All last night I heard the crickets
Chipping on the lonely hearth,
And [ thought of one who lieth
In the cold arms of the earth.
Oh my darling safely folded
In the shadow Of the grave,
Der whose flower-roofed dwelling
Boughs of autumn splendor wave.
Well I know your frail hands folded
In the silence of dead years,
Cannot give me back caresses
For my sacrifice of tears.
Never comes a mist of sorrow
Withered hope or broken trust,
That can trouble your white silence,
In the arms of death and dust.

BURGLARY. During the past two
weeks the community has been thrown
into great CONSERVATION by reason of
numerous petty burglaries in various
parts of the city. The residences of
Messrs. Martin, Everhart, Gottfredsen,
Lee, Drom, Brande, Howe and others
have all been entered and various az
ticles mostly of a trivial character
carried away. The work not bearing
evidence of experienced cracksmen,
suspicion pointed strongly toa band
of young roughs that have been ma
rauding in the city and country during
the summer, and on Friday of last
week the police succeeded in captur-
i ing quartette of them and are on the
trail of others. A portion of the
stolen property was found at their
rendezvous and the presumption of
guilt is firmly fastened upon them. A
preliminary hearing will be held this
week. s@

Lake Michigan no longer presents a
'pebly strand" in Kenosha county.
For several years past q system of
wholesale stealing has been INDUCED
in by parties hailing from Chicago and
who have succeeded in almost divest-
ing the beach Of stones of every des-
cription. A rock bound shore is the
best protection that can be devised
and no land has been lost on portions
Of the beach thus fortified. Since the
stones have been removed the loss is
very perceptible. The greater portion
of the work Of devastation has been
done in the night time and the par
ties thus far have gone unpublished
AS this is d source of no inconsidera-
BILE danger all further efforts on the
part of these stone thieves should
be promptly checked as every pebble
removed from the shore lessons the
protection and diminishes the value Of
all adjacent property. s"

A MEASURE providing for postal sav-
ings BANKS has been prepared by Cons
gresham Waddell, of North Carolina
1t will enable any one to deposit any
sum from five dollars up to five thou,
sand in the treasury through the mon.
eySorder department. of the postoilice.
The demand for such system seems to
be universal The failure of so many
banks and the dishonesty of officials
who had been trusted with the hard
earnings OF laboring people and the
funds OF widows and orphans, has un>
mined public confidence in these insti.
tutions to an unfortunate extent. 1t is
not so much high rate OF interest that
they want rs an absolute safety for their
deposits, and the feeling of security that
such safety generates. One powerful
, incentive to industry, frugality and
temperance is destroyed when people
lose the results of their hard toll and
pinching economy. The postal savings
system has been tried in England, and
with such admirable results that il is
now proposed to extend the scope of its
operations. The experience of England
will doubtless be repeated in this couu.
try The Long Bill, which passed the
senate last week, does not meet the
requirements. 1t is obviously unwse
and unfair to ask poor people to loan
their savings to the government at
lower rate of interest than capitalists
receive. The demon nations of the
bonds are too high, and the places dies,
ignated Tor the payment of the coupons
too few.
