BESIDE a LITTLE GRAVE

g Gail no one happy till he dies, the old
Athenlan saying, mas the stamp of truth;
And OH how many a bright and glowing you'll
Lit with the morning sunshine and its gold.
AS years swept on has darkened with the mold
Of vice and bitterness and sin-brought care!
How many fond and fearful mothers PRAYER
Had been unuttered If she could have told
His future life when she sought God TO suarel
Nay, rather she had prayed he should lie cold
In all the purity of childhood drest;
And standing Ger my fIst-horn's little grave
I can but humbly murmur God knew best.
Stainless He took the precious flower He gave.

IT is announced, with apparent au-
thority, that the plans of the French
company which proposes to build a
ship canal across the peninsula of
Florida have been fully matured, and
that all obstacles in the way of its con-
struction will soon be removed, All
the funds needed for the enterprise have
been raised by subscription in Paris and
New York. All that is now necessary
is special charter from the Florida leg
islature, which will not meet in regular
session until January, 1881, but the
governor will be petitioned to call an
extra session. This proposed canal will
shorten the sailing route from New
York to Vera Cruz and New Orleans
nearly 1000 miles, and admit of the
passage of vessels drawing twenty-five
feet of water.

THE will of Mr.. Lionel Lawson is
curious. He leaves his son only a fifth
of his property, adds nothing to the mar
riage portion of his daughter, and after
a few small annuities divides the rest
into four equal parts, leaving one to his
nephew Edward, one to his niece Emily,
one to his granddaughter Harry, and one
between the six children of his brother,
exclusive of Emily and Edward. The
will was made in 1865, and the story
goes that second will existed unsigned,
leaving the bulk of his property to his son
The story, if true, would raise an inter-
esting question for the lawyers whether
the second will would not, if the inten-
ton of signing were proved, supersede
the prior one. Mr.. Lawson's personal
and real property amounted to above
FL ,406, 900.

The United States Treasury to-day transferred
$4,000 900 in gold to the Assay Office at New York.
to be used in paying for foreign gold deposited for
conversion into American coin. This makes q total
of S60000.000 transferred for that purpose since
August 10. Treasurer Gihan. in reply
to question to-day regarding the with
drawal of the United States Treasury from
the New York Clearing House Association,
said that the matter has been under consdera
currency to coin going on in the public funds he
had thought it proper to call attention to the possi
bility. remote, that the department might be
compelled to make larger disbursements Of silver at
New York, which would necessitate change in the
rules of the Clearing House withdrawal from
it's membership. He recognized the great advantage
of that relation in the safe collection Of the
Office and in the rapid transaction of the immense
business at that point, and would be reluctant to
disturb it, The question, however, of withdrawal
will probably arise, the Clearing House will
likely make the necessary change in its rules that
the government may be put to inconvenience in
making settlements.
