nnR DEAD PRESIDENT

Who has the fitting word,
When every brcast Ia stirred 49,
With sorrow far too deep FOR words TO tellf
Yet as amid Deaths gloom,
Friends whisper in tho room,
Night regned beside the sea,
When morning came to thee,
LonF-waitiuF heart. so patient ana so bravoI
Light foil upon thy door,
Pain ceased forcvermoro,
Back to its Maker fled the life lie gave
Like messengers in quest,
Then started cast and west
Two tidal waves of sorrow round the world.
Millions OF cyes were wet
Before the tidings met
Where on the Eastern seas our flags are
furled.
Quickly through throbbing wire,
Those waves of sorrow dire
Awoke across the land the mournful bells;
Men reused and could not sleep,
For, pulsing strong and deep,
All hearts that knew were ringing funeral
knells.
Wives gazed in husbands eyes,
And tears would slowly rise
For her who fought with Death so long
alone;
And children with no task
Were left themselves to ask,
Why Death this father took, and not their
own.
On all the shadow falls;
IL bushes college halls,
Ii consecratcs the cabins OF the west;
The freedmen loved him well;
Soldiers his praises tell,
The rudest boatman Is too sad TO Jest.
Still, over hills and dcls,
The beautiful, sad bells
Repeat the Nation sorrow for her son;
But he doth hear the chime
Of a moro peaceful clime
Than Mentors fields or quiet Elberon.
Like Him. the Cruciicd,
He, who so calmly died,
Has made the world the better for his pain;
Surely we now may know
Our Leader was laid low
To lift the Nation to a higher plane.
We say ms once he said
Our Hero-ruler dead
"The Lord still rcigns, the country is se-
cure:''
There's none can Oil his place;
Rule Thou. God of gracel
And guideus on to days more bright and

Forest Fires and More Timber.

From all sides come discussions and
suggestions on the timber question.
Here before us is an article in Lon
don paper, showing the enormous
amount of red cedar used for pencils.
and the incredible difficulty of obtain.
ing it. Fearful, it is said, that the sup.
ply will fail. the celebrated Faber has
bought large tract of land and planted
it with cedars, which may help his firm
after he is gone, if it does no good to
himself. Then We have also before us
cry from New England. The mill
owners use large quantities OF spools
which are made from the birch, but the
birch forests are giving out, and what
are they to do next? So it is with vari.
GUS trades and occupations, requiring
peculiar kinds OF woods in their manu-.
factures. The timber which they sev.
orally require is undoubtedly getting
scarcer, and it is u natural anxiety which
asks us what we are going to do about itl
The only response is, plant more.
But who is to do it and how is it to be
doneP The easy-going citizen who is
imbued with the majesty of the law,
thinks Government ought to do it.
Governments do it in other countries,
why should not ours attempt what 9TH
ers successfully dop 1t does not follow
as thing OF course. Other Govern
ments are paternal. They are accus-
toned to supply their immediate ne
cessities and provide for the future.
Our Government is our servant. 1t is
simply to keep peace and order among
ourselves and to so arrange that eacl,
has the largesu liberty possible without
infringing on his neighbor.
That forest culture can be made to
pay, when judiciously managed, has
been shown in our columns for years
past. 1t need not take lifetime to ge
ones money back, but for all this ther,
are many drawbacks which will pre-
vent investments in that line. Here
for instance, as we write we are in
dense smoke from the burning forest
hundreds Of miles away, and so il ha
been every year. Michigan, Canada
New Jersey, New York and portions o
New England bring every year to Ger
mantown their disastrous tale of smoke
1t is poor encouragement 10 the forest
planter to feel that the end OF all hi
labors may be forest lire. Yet tn
danger must be encountered il we ar
to increase TO any great extent our tim
ber supply. There are risks in every
thing we undertake.
1t is evident that the whole subject l
one beset with difficulties. That tim
ber is growing scarcer we all know
that an abundance OF timber is essen
tial to our National progress is clear
that some precautions should be take
against waste, and some encouragement
to raise new forests is desirable. all ca
