Bluehill Granite.

The New York Record makes the
following allusion to the Central Build
ing erected by the Central Railroad Of
New Jersey and the Bluehill granite
which has entered into its construc-
ton:
The foundations of the Central Build
ing are most massive and the stone is
the heaviest and most perfect ever
quarrled. Solid blocks of granite set
IN the best cement testify to the thor
ough manner in which the work has
been performed. The magnitude Of
the job required care, good Judgment
and the highest skill. but it was cred
itablv and satisfactorily executed IN a
comparatively brief period Ia the
short time Of four months $500 tons
Of the very best granite were delivered
and built up. 1t would be well to re-
member tha, this required the handling
OF 7s 900 cubic feet, which forms the
foundation
The great resources and facilities Of
the White Granite Company, of NJ.
j41 West Fourteenth street. were fully
equal to all demands of the builders
and their product is unexcelled IN
beauty, strength and other desirable
qualities by any other granite in
| America.
The White Granite Company has an
almost inexhau,tible plant and is un-

l have lived before. Wherel That can
not tell.
Nor how, nor when. or those forgotten
years
Only vague echoes from the darkness
swell,
Bringing familiar murmurs to my ears,
The ghostly image of that misty past
Enfolds me like shadow; and my sense
Strives all in vain to grasp and hold it fast
Only in me is memory's evidence.
All human language feeble is and cold,
To paint the fieeting visions that arise,
Beguiling me with memories Of old,
OF other lives passed under other skies.
And still the echoes ring, the voices call,
In wild confusion, like a crowd Of dreams !;
Then twilight shadows, dark and darker,
fall,
Till not a ray through the dense black
ness CLEANS.
But still again vague, melodious song,
With scattered, broken measures. fills
the air;
And shadowy forms, in shadowy distance.

Wrapt in the sable mantle of despair.

Where, beyond boundaries Of time and

Chained me, an exile, in my present

] see, in tleeting rays Of heavenly light,
The glory of distant paradise:
Then all is overwhelmed by starless night,
Ny anxious questionings meet no replies.
| Heavy my heart with memories of old;
| My power to live and strive is overcast
| BY wild desire the mystery to unfold
Which binds my present TO that vanished

Green Lake,

The sound of the hammer and saw at
the fish station has about ceased, the build.
ings are completed, most of the carpenters
have packed their tools and left, and the
painters will put on the finishing touch by

nice buildings and the architect and fish
commissioner are well pleased with them,

cially out of the contract.

in so doing your correspondent will pack
his trunk and close his labor here as the
building will be finished What this place
needs, as ! see, is good road in here
The county commissioners have been here
and will make their report soon. The

lence; for days outing | don't know of a
better place than Green Lake. By taking
the morning train, then the Boss Hale"
you can have all day to fish, hunt, & &C., and
return on the evening train. Try it next
summer, and you will want to do so again.
Capt Bellatty, who went home sick two
weeks ago, has come back again. His
sickness tells on him.
The steamer BOSS Hale" will close it's
sea son's work. The last month has been
a profitable one for it.
