COrOuer,S Fees.

We notice in the County Freeholder' s
Report that Coroner Creasey was paid
$54.52 for services rendered. 1t would
be more interesting if the report told us
if any or all of the above sum was paid
for not making a report of the inquest
held upon the body of the old soldier
found in the woods last Winter. The
Coroner is paid to do his duty. He
didn't do it. Why should he be paid for
it? The PRESS hears it reported that
the men summoned as jurors upon that
inquest have never been paid. Why
not? Wasn't their time worth as much
as that of the Coroner? From the state
ments printed in the newspapers at the
time, there was reasonable ground for
suspicion that the man had been MUIR
dered. There were many people who
thought SO; but nothing was done and
no investigation made, and no report
ever made of the proceedings as far as
we can learn. The Coroner bungled the
case from beginning to end, but it will
cheer the hearts of the tax payers, and
especially the old soldiers. to learn that
he did not forget to collect his bill.

DUST TO DUST.

All that was mortal of Josiah E. Ris-
ley-the founder and proprietor of this
paper-was consigned to earth on Sun
day. The funeral services were held at
the residence of his father-in-law, John
Collins, Esq. and was fully attended by
relatives and friends, and members of the
Orders of Red Men and Odd Fellows to
which he belonged. The sermon which
was q most appropriate, eloquent, and
touching one, was preached by Rev. G..
K. Flemming, from the text "All that a
man hath will he give for his life" At
the Presbyterian choir, the body enclosed
in a magnificent metallic casket, was
taken in charge by the pail bearers from
the kinnewaugha Tribe of Red Men, and
the Union Lodge Of Odd Fellows, and
the long procession Of members and car
riages and people on foot took up the
line of march to Salem cemetery.
At the grave large crowd was assem-
bled, and the beautiful and solemn burial
services drew tears from many eyes. AT
the conclusion of the rites of the Red
Men q white dove-emblem of the depart
ed spirit-was released, and for several
minutes circled around the vicinity before
taking his homeward flight. The casket
was covered with beautiful flowers, the
parting gifts Of wife, brothers, and
friends, and the grave thickly strewn
with the sprigs of evergreen, the last
tribute of Fraternal love. All that love,
affection, friendship, and brotherhood
could do has been done. The drama of
life is ended. The debt of Nature has been
paid. Josiah Risley has entered upon
Deaths painless sleep. Let him rest in
peace!

"When on my day OF life the night is fall

And, in the winds from unsunned spaces
blown,

My feet topaths unknown,
Thou who hast made my home of life SO
pleasant,
Leave not it's tenant when its walls de-
cay;
O, Love, Divine, O, Helper, ever present
Be thou my strength and stay
Be near me when all else is from me drift
ing;
Earth, sky, home picture, days of shade
and shine,
And kindly faces to my own uplifting,
The love which answers mine.
| have but Thee, my Father! let Thy
Spirit
BE with me then to comfort and uphold;
No gate of pearl, no branch of palm |
merit,
Nor street of shining gold.
Suffice it if-my good and i'll unreckoned,
And both forgiven through Thy abound
ing grace
| find myself by hands familiar beckoned
Unto my fitting place.
Some humble door among Thy many
mansions,
Some sheltering shade where sin and
striving cease,
And flows forever through Heavens
green expansions
The river of Thy Peace.
There, from the music round about me
stealing,
fain would learn the new and holy
song,
And find at last, beneath Thy trees of
healing,
The life for which long"

GOLD IT,

cold twenty-seven' is pretty machine,
The handsomest engine | ever have seen.
Her bell shines as bright as new look
ing glass,
Her feed pipes and whistle and rest OF
her brass.
Her cab floor s as clean as maiden s
front room,
And that shows that Holmes isn't afraid
of his broon.
He scours her all day as he daily grows
older,
And once in a while disl COATES his right
shoulder.
'Twould be a good thing her jacket to
mend,
But her jacket s not noticed when you
see her front end.
All gilded and blackened it looks very
neat,
But to get it that way was difficult
feat.
When Holmes is all ready and starts in
to work,
He rolls up his sleeves and to clean her
don't shirk.
Then Northaker who runs her gives his
trousers a shift,
Takes the polish and rag and gives him
O lift.
Together they make her SO shining and
bright
She looks like a meteor on dark night,
And they work with motto of not very
great length,
Which we all ought to follow-''In union
there's strength"
A mile every minute makes her record a
sumner.
And she takes us all safely in Winter or
Summer.
So here 8 luck to the engine and luck to
her crew.

The County Insane Asylum.

Four plans and specifications have
been submitted to the special committee
of the County Board of Freeholders who
have charge of the erection of the new
insane asylum. The Atlantic City Re-
view says: Those drawn by Architect
William G. Hopes, Of this city, gave the
greater satisfaction and were adopted
with the exception of few changes
which the architect was requested to
make. The committee will meet again
next Friday to inspect the plans as
amended.
The new Asylum will be of brick, two
stories in height. There will be two
buildings, one for male and the other for
female inmates united with the superin-
tendent's office between them, by a COW
cred passage way, one story in height.
The building will front on the Shore
Road. The estimated cost of $4,000 is
to cover the erection and heating of the
building. 1t will be a model institution
in every respect and a credit to the
county. There will be Recommendations
for fifty-five inmates in each department,
which, unless something unforeseen
occurs, will be sufficient to meet all re-
quirements for several years to come.
The matter of maintenance has been
carefully considered and the estimate

Chance generally favors the p rndent.
Justice to one is mercy to thousands.
He scatters enjoyment who enjoys
much.
Life has no blessing like a prudent
friend,
Who gives trifie meanly is meaner
than the trifle.
Every man is volume if you know
how to read him.
Follow light and do the right-for
man can half control his doom.
Between right and wrong there is no
ground but battle ground.
What is possible and right. is duty;
and duty brings us to judgement.
There can be no high civility without q
deep morality.
Frugality is founded on the principle
that all riches have limits.
When the State is most corrupt, then
the laws are most multiplied.
He who hath health hath hope; and he
who has hope has everything.
A crowd always thinks with it's SYM
pathy, never with its reason.
Prodigality is the vice of weak nature,
as avarice is of q strong one.
Time makes savage analysis of char
acter, and developes or rots the fibre Of
it, according to quality.
To be happy is of far less CONSCIENCE to
! the worshippers of fashion than to ap-
pear so. tA
Blessed is the man that has found his
work. One monster there is in the
world the idle man. a
Our great want in social life is a deeI
and wide sympathy. This it is which
enables us to see with another's vision
| and to appreciate another's instincts.
