A POETS PRAYER.

By R. L. Stevenson.
 If l have faltered more or less In my great task of happiness; If 1 have moved among my race And shown no glorious morning face; If beams from happy human eyes Have moved me not; if morning skies, Books, and my food, and summer ram Knocked at my sullen heart in vain Lord, thy most pointed pleasure take, And stab my spirit broad awake; Or Lord if too obdurate l. Choose Thou before that spirit die, A piercing pain, a killing sin, And to my dead heart run them In!

ANO elaims Cart away our whilom
 w glory In large chunks, remove the prestige that so lately descended upon us and turn the mighty Hudson from it's course. but spare, oh. spare our new depotr' Not content with reducing Eso- pus to the pin point on the map that 1t was before Judge Parker 1eaped to fame. stern destiny would now deprive the town of It's new passenger station. the pride of every Esopian eye and the au- gury of greater things in the future. It is rumored that the West Shore railroad, which passes by Esopus on its way to other points, does not feel justified in maintaining the new depot that was erected when Esopus began to boom, and the structure will be transferred to some other more pretentious station. No won der the loyal citizens of Esopus are dis solved in tears Tn a day they became great, men from afar came to their doors and a new depot was built. but now 1t is to be taken away, and it is the hand somest depot between Weehawken and Albany, tool Esopus has had much to bear since the Parker cohorts went down in defeat, but nothing will so lacerate her already bleeding heart as the re- moval of the Esopus depot. If Judge Parker had been elected there is no tell ing where Esopus would be now, but, alas. 1t was not thus decreed and the last glimmer of hope has departed from the town.
 lac Ay4C a friend! The London Sketch comes out in statement that 1t is time for some one to take up the cudgels in defense of the sorely tried poet. Sketch says that 1t Is pretty pass when the poet laureate of England, enjoying all the dignities and emoluments of his high office cannot in- dlte the briefest poem without bringing down upon his head the jeers of certain newspapers and certain critics. It is in- deed pretty pass." but if Alfred Aus tin wishes to be respected as the poet laureate of England, he should quit writ 1 ing poetry altogether, and devote himself to society. There is no reason why a poet laureate should work, anyway. There Is no danger Of his starving to death-a risk that is often taken by less fortunate bards-and he should take life easy. It is not every man who can get good job without having any uualifca- tlons for the place.

The council recommended that the water superin- tendent use every reasonable effort to economize in the use of water; also that some action be taken upon the matter of installing meters on the premises of those who have failed to comply with the ordinance covering cases, and that the matter be attended to within the next thirty or sixty days.

The petitioners pray for a levee on River de Flag, which regards no confines at times and is menace to property owners thereabout.
