If l should die to-day, my friends would
look uron my cold, quiet face and speak
gently even tenderly of me. All my faults
and shortcomings would be forgotten, and
as they would place the snow white flowers
against my hair, they would smooth it
down with fearful tenderness and fold my
pale cold hands acoss my silent breast, with
lingering caresSes.
They would call to mind some kindly
deed these icy hands had wrought-some
gentle words those frozen lips had said
The memory of my selfshness and pride
would be forgotten, the hasty words, the
bitter tone, the impatient look, would all
be put aside, and l should be loved and
mourned. Even hearts estranged would
turn to me once more, and perhaps feeling
of remorse would cast a shadow upon their
hearts, that they had not been more patient,
gentle and forgiving, and tears perchance
would fall upon my unconscious clay, and
l would rest forgiven.
'Oh friends, pray you now
Keep not your kisses for my dead cold brow;
The way Is lonely, let me feel them now,
Think gently of me; am travel worn;
My weary feet are pierced with many aShorn;
Forgive, oh, hearts cstranged, forgive, plead

that they didn't see any money in it. In.
stead of trying to hold them to their con-
tract the Captain, in charge, hired them by
the hour. In due time the lumber was un.
loaded, the Captain took the fifty dol
lars he had promised, paid off the lumber
carriers, and had several dollars left. The
money all being paid to the boss of the

The Coming Census.

The Superintendent OF the Census
Bureau had issued a circular in relation
TO the Office Of enumerator under the
census law. Under the old law sub-di.
visions were limited TO twenty thousand
inhabitants, while by the present they
are limited to four thousand, and will
be generally confined 20 single town
where the number may be even less.
By the old law from June |, 20 Novem.
ber !. was allowed for enumeration,
while under the present statute IL is re-
quired TO be in June, and in cities Of
more than ten thousand inhabitants in
two weeks from the fret Monday in
June.
The total amount Of compensation 10
an enumeTator cannot exceed one hun.
dred dollars AZ but one months time i
allowed and the pay is not to exceed q
per day. Ii Is expected that enumera.
tors will work in their own immediate
locality, knowing and known 10 most of
those they enumerate without incur.
ring travelling expenses in a majority
OF cases, and that in many cases the
work can be done without materially
interfering with their other vocations
so that more competent class OF enum.
orators may be secured. Township as.
SCISSORS aud other local officers, post.
masters at small Offices, etc, are sug
gested as men likely TO perform the
work faithfully and intelligently.
County physicians, within the circuit Of
their usual practice, would, tits thought,
often make excellent enumerators.
Their knowledge of vital conditions.
their appreciation Of the importance Of
trustworthy statistics, together with
their knowledge OF the history of fami.
lies, would combine TO make returns
alike of deaths and OF the living popu.
lation from officers Of this class espe.
cially valuable. There would also be
the practical consideration that men of
this profession are as a rule already
mounted, and their services in the ca.
pacity of enumerators would involve no
expense whatever for outfit. School.
masters have largely been found in
England among the best qualified emu.
merators. Accustomed 10 keep lists
and make reports, almost uniformly &C.
eurate in accounts, trained in punctu.
ality and precision, and accustomed to
enforce them upon others, the teacher
within his school district would gener.
ally do his work rapidly, neatly and &C.
cuTately.
