Be Patient With the Living.

Sweet friend, when thou and I are gone
Beyond earth s weary labor,
When small shall be our need of grace
From comrade or from neighbour;
Passed all the strife, the toll, the care,
And done with all the singing
What tender truth shall we have gained.
Alas! by simply dying?
Then lips too chary of their praise
VIII tell Onr merits over
And eyes TOO swift our faults to see
Shall no defect discover:
Then hands that would not lift a stone
When stones were thick TO cumber
Our steep hill path, will scatter flowers
Above our piflowed slumber.
Sweet friend. perchance both thou and I.
Ere love Is past fOrgiving,
Should take the earnest lesson home
Be patient with the living
TO-day'S repressed rebuke may save
Our binding tears tomorrow:
Then patience. cen when keene;t edge
May whet a namelesS sorrow.
IT Is easy to be gentle when
Death s silence shames our ciamOr
And easy TO discern the best
Through memory's mystic glamor;
But wise 1t were for thee and me,
Ere love is past forgiving,
To take the tender lesson home
Be patient with the livingi

Queer things come to light in Washington
houses. A few nights ago called at a house i'm
a good quarter of the city, which a naval officer
had rented during his absence and ii was filled
with very well executed oil paintings by the
owners hand, chiefly of japanese and Chinese
scenes. though there were also cosmopolitan
landscapes and good portraits. Under the
transforming hand of cultivation and observa-
ton the homes of Washington built at the pre-
sent day will carry TO future times a much
higher and more permanent idea of the vivac-
ity of mind existing here since the rebellion
than was known before.
The Washington people are complaining that
the government in its parsimony about appro-
priations Is taking up their squares and reser-
vations to put large public buildings upon
them, instead OF letting them stand as the
lungs of Washington and buying, like any
body else, real estate in eligible parts of the
town.
The old town of Annapolis. which is hun.
dred yeass older than Washington, and con-
tains some quaint objects besides the naval
relations with Washington, and can now be
reached in one hour and made an interesting
excursion from this place The time is not Ear
Off when a branch railroad will be run TO
Mount Vernon, but that will be when the
present exclusive and foolish restrictions are
taken from that property. 1t is now visited by
day for an excursion which ought to occupy
only an afternoon.
Building improvements here are now run
ming out to and beyond Georgetown, SO that
there will probably be city of villas and ham,
lets extending into the country. Along that
route run the water-pipes which supply Wash
ington, and the river views are almost sublime.

"We feel" writes a western editor, "that an

of last week we stated that she had eloped
with an eighteen year old man. The truth is
that she was thrown from an eight year old
mare, which she was riding i'm a lope, and
which slipped and fell. Mistakes will happen

a stir ut silver Reef.

From a private source j. is
learned that quite serious panic
which will prove far reaching. has
been caused at Silver Reef by re-
duction in wages.
The different companies gave
notice on Saturday that on the first
of September there would be a re-
duction in wages Of 80 cents per
day all around. 4 considerable
number of men have already quit,
and others will drop out from time
to time.
The companies have agreed. how
ever, that if the men will remain at
work they will restore wages to the
old figure as soon as silver reaches
81 per ounce, and sticks at or
above that point. The men are at
present paid $3.50 and So per day;
but the change will bring them
down to 50 and $3.50 per day.
The change is a serious one, and
it is hardly fair to blame the com
panies, as it is simply one of the
inevitable results of the depression
