And tle house which loved makes f6tff
This is the very window ....'.-=-.
Where used to see her head,
Bent over book or needle,
With ivy garranded. ...' e.
And the very loop of the curtain;
Aud the very curve of the vins,
Were full of charm and . meaning, 80
Which woke at her touch and sign. i
I began to be glad at the corner, HiH
And all the way to the door oe
My heart outran my footsteps, F.. r.s. ...
And frOlicked and danced before
In haste for the words of welcome, ...s
The voice, the repose and grace, ....
And the smile, like benediction,
OF that beautiful vanished face,
Now pass the door and pause not,
And look the other way
But ever like waited fragrance ''.
Too subtle to name or to stay tu.'
Comes thought of the gracious presence
Which made that past day sweet,
And still to those who remember
Embalms the house and the street
Like the breath from some vase now empty
Of a fowery shape unseen,
Which follows the path of its lover
To tell where rose has been.

each State and Territory, according
to division of districts, but the
whole number of supervisors Ia not
to exceed $50. These supervisors
will arrange the districts into sub
divisions convenient for their pur-
poses of enumeration /; and employ
one person in each, resident there.
In, as enumeratOr. The returns of
the enumerators will be made to
the supervisors Of their districts,
who will forward complete returns
to the superintendent of census 1t

tors will be fixed according to the
amount uf work performed-but
no enumeration east OF the Tooth
meridian shall receive more than
"a per day, or more than S6 per

ian. The supervisors of cen
sus will receive $500 each for the
job, with contingent allowance
for clerk hire. The work is to be
performed in May Tor June) of next
