Two glorious angels were at Natures birth;
The one all light, with happy, radiant mien;
The other with her eyes upon the earth
In steady saze-both thoughtful and serene. .
She one was Hope-to work with ceaseless good,
The budding wish-the soul-centered will;
The other Patience calming fiery blood,
And be Sc ever with us, angels twainl
Oh thou with thy glad eyes and brilliant face!
And thou, still calmest in the hour of pain
Who gildest sorrow with a holy grace!

But he sighed when the kitchen clock struck one,
And she said the carpet wasn't done.
But he lovingly put in his biggest ticks,
And pounded like mad till the clock struck six.
And she said, In dubious kind of way,
That she guessed ho could finish it up next day.

And never again the morning sun
Smiled at him beating his carpet drum.
And South Hill often said with. yawn,

And Re gathered 1t up with sad, grim smile,

As he gazed at the carpet tattered and torn.
And he hit 1t q most resounding whack,
Till the startled air gave bis echoes back.
And out of the window white face leaned,
And A palsied hand the pale face screened.

Right down on the ground his stick he throwed,
And he shivered and ssid, well, I am blowedt"
And he turned away with heart full sore;
And he never was seen not none no more.

only about seventy dollars, which
was expended in enforcing qnaran.
tine last season, the consequence
IS, that the board of health has no
funds whatever ut present with
which to prevent the introduction
or spread of contagious or iniec
tious diseases. The board recog
nizes the danger but is powerless.
AS there seems to be some mis-
apprehension as to the powers ant
duties Of the board, it may be vel
tor me to say that they are Limited
to the prevention of the introduc
tion. of contagious and infectious
diseases, aud is not a society TO
the relief Of the suffering, andcan

In other words. the board has th
authority to spend money in keep

to procure nurses tor the sick, no
has it the power to use funds whic
