The Seamstress.

A dirge, and an open grave, A coffin upon the bier; Then the clay fell over the care-worn And Q form went down to its place of
 rest, Like a weary bird to her evening nest In the tall trees waving near. She had struggled long with life, Long with her weight of woe, Till her. eyes were dim with their flood Till her breast was sick with its hopes
 and fears; She had struggled on through weary Till the sands of life were low. She had toiled from the early morn. When over the sleeping earth
 fell Over the city, forest and deli: And music woke like fairy bell, With a tremulous sound of mirth. Till the golden sun was Set, And the changing day gone by, And the stars shone forth like diamonds
 bright Set in the jeweled crown of Night: And the moon pour'd forth her flood of
 light
 From the far-off azure sky. Al1! HSi ruunueu cneeK grew pale, With her weary, toilsome lot; NO friends were near, with their fond
 caress, To speak kind words, to soothe and
 bless; But she struggled on in her loneliness, Unnoticed and forgot. Like a fettered bird long caEed. Which is at length released, Her soul flew forth from it's cage of
 clay Into the fields of light and day, where her spirit knows no more decay, But all shall whisper peace. They have placed her in the tomb: None shed sorrowing tear; The busy world will go plodding on: The night shall come and the morning
 dawn No more shall suffer here.

MOVING.

Boston is mildly pleased because it's famous Westminster Chambers case is getting along. Judge schofeld has just rendered decision that is regarded as favorable to the city's interests. It will be recalled that the case grew out of the city's action in ordering that the builders of the Westminster apartment house which fronts on Copley Square, cut off a few fleet from the buildings height in conformity to an ordinance limiting the height of buildings In this particular locality. After cutting down the building as ordered the owners sued the city for damages, and an award of $4S1,970 was secured. The city appealed on the ground that the damages awarded were excessive and now Judge Schofield decides that the amount should be reduced by S120, 900. He also offers to set the verdict aside altogether and grant the city's motion for a new trial if the city is still of the opinion that $361,S is too much to pay for securing the enforcement of one of it's ordinances. It is predicted by the Boston Post that new trial will be sought. That paper adds the heartening comment: "The history of this enterprise, which now seeks stu pendous damages from the city, is such as morally to absolve the municipality from all accountability, The men who put up the building knew we'll that the law was violated. They took the chances. They waited for further leg islation before they repaired their er- TOT by taking off the excess of height.''

POOLE.s FAMoIIs FEAr.

Lucius Poole. a brother of William Fooie, the librarian, whose name is pefpetuated in ''POole's Index and who died in Boston within the last year, was known throughout the country for his rare skill in restoring ana repairing old documents and re- prints. He lived for thirty years in a house at the South End, Boston, with three congeniaI spirits, one a collector OF Dlckensana, the second of first edi- tlohs. Poole was a collector too--of books, letters and programmes relating 70 the stage. He had remarkable fac ulty for matching old paper, and could put corner or a patch on a letter or a piaybill so neatly that it could be hollced only under Q magnifying glass. MT. Poole's famous feat of splif- ting a magazine page into four leaves or layers was brought about by an English inlayer. Who showed Mir. Poole page split in three leaves with the printing unmarred. The American said that he could do all that the English man had done and more, and after experiments produced a page of "The century" magazine split in four leaves this was taken to London by a book collector who had gone abroad to add to his library, and after the pase had been the rounds of the clubs there if was sent to Paris and caused the Frenchmen to wonder.-Portland fNe !

Fortunately, it was Sunday, so the cut problem wasn't as heatingly prominent as it might have been if the day had been some other, but that problem will not down, or up either, and we may con- fidently expect more discussion and some warm discussion.

So let us persevere. knowing that some warm day or cold day there will be A Made up Mind in New Haven.

But by the time the Summer Is all over and the harvest is ended she may be all safe and ready to go into cold weather and the coal bin with courage and hope.

on them, dus to alleged corrupt pros ceedings. amounts to only Sl.55O,O0O. That some of the military officers in charge of the sale Of stores left over after the Boer war did sell too low and other officers did buy back the same storss too high, is not disputed. Only the amount is said to be exaggerated not the misconduct of the offenders. The reaI extent of the fraud practiced on the government is not known. Sir William Butler, who directsd the in- quiry into the matter, has made sen- sationaI report in somewhat rhetorical language, but the government alleges that he failed to examine persons who knsw most about the facts, and that, being Liberal, he was interested to injure the government by exaggerating things and by limiting what he could not say. A royal commission has &C., cordingly been appointed to examine witnesses under oath and get at all the facts. On the vote of censure proposed by the opposition against the Balfour ministry for negligence the latter won by a majority of 74.
 By and by some of the facts will doubtless be known. Meanwhile good Englishnren can congratulate them. selves and each other on the fact that their country is not Russia.
