Taught me this wisdom: If Death come,
a thy dear one. be thou dumb.
Nor crafty with suppliant breath
The attentive insolence of Death.
SuHer thy dear one to depart
In silence; silent in thy heart,
From this forth, be thy dear ones name.
So I. hat would not put to shame
So dear a memory dead. repeat
No more the sweet name once too sweet,
Nor from that buried name, remove
The 1aAGhsy silence Of my love.

A Reproach to Two Counties,
Supervisor Says in Report
to FreeflOlders.

ton of many of the affairs of the
county, including reforms in several de-
partments, are suggested by Supervisor
Fred r. Baldwin in he>first annual
report of the county supervisor, filed

Mr.. Baldwin advocates the recon-
struction of the Plank road, whose
present condition he declares is a re-
proach to both Hudson and Essex
county.
There is probably no one improve
ment,' he says, which would tend in
a greater degree to simulate the ma
terial advancement of our section more
than this"
Other changes and improvements ad-
yocated are.
The building of the proposed new
bridge across he Passaic river.
A strict inspection OF the Essex
county Asylum for the Insane at over
brok before it is accepted, to see That
there are no defects in craftsmanship
The installation of an electric ngnt-
ing plant in the Court House, which,
he declares, would have the county
$i,590 annually.
The reorganization of the engineer
ing department, which is at present
conducted in an unbusinesslike maner,
according to his repart, with a larger
salary for the county engineer, SO that
all of his time could be claimed by the
county.
A change In the method of purchas-
ing supplies for the county.
The supervisor also suggests that all
county officials not connected with out
side institutions make 1t a point to call
at the Court House daily, in order that
they may be accessible to the public.
