One by One.

One by one kind words are said,
One by one sad tears are shed
One by one some new hfe's ray,
One by one we pass away
TO that great beyond.
Our sisters life was but a dream
Twas like a play behind a screen
She said
Lies cares she met. no sigh no tear.
What Joys she had she treasured
dear. and labored on.
With a heart so true, a soul SO brave.
She Gained misfOrtunes rugged
waves, and faltered not.
A mother dear. a sister true,
Just in her prime
Not long she stayed. her years were
few. just forty nine
But alas, how sad, she's gone 70 rest
To that dreamless sleep. they call
It death.
No one can tell, no one can see.
One by one each die IS cast,
One by one we al at last
Must bid farewell the same as she.
Twas in midsummer, a lovely day
She said I'm feeling faint, and
passed away and LETT US here.
We doubt, but hope when life IS o er'
/ To meet again across the shore

Our Sketchy Manners.

From the New York Globe.
Upon the heels of Mr. r. Hopkinson
Smiths description of us as a nation
of boors-with particular and pointed
reference to New York city-comes a
counter statement from Mr.. Edmund
Goose, the librarian of the House of
Lords. Mr.. Gosse asserts that the Ameri-
cans who come to London bring further
amenity and increase the breadth of view
of the English people. Being by nature
an optimist, he believes that this in
vasion will mend the British manners.
This might salve our wounded feelings
were it not certain that some one Will
instantly offer some other Englishman in
rebuttal-for instance, that self-contraet-
ed humorist, Mr.. G. Loves Dickinson
who thinks we are absolutely lacking
even In the elements of culture.
Perhaps this is not to be deplored
Mr.. +. Hopkinson Smiths criticisms
probably are q good thing for US, and
so far from being counteracted by COM
pllmentary cabegrans from gracious for
eigners, it will be well II they are abutted
by all the objections, domestic or for
eign, to our manners that have been
made from Dickens day to this. Yes,
even Diclins' structures might be includ-
ed for though it has been denied. and
1t may be true, that he did not possess
the instincts that distinguished Thacke-
ray, his rough dersion may be just the
sort of antidote for some sorts of Ameri-
can uncouthness. For we are Doors and
we are uncouth-most all of us at one
time or another.
Life would be much better worth living
in New York city IL our manners We're
on our consciences. We should be q
kinder people than we are, and more con-
siderate There would be more JOY for
all of us. 1t is true that some of the
biggest scoundres of the community are
in all the superficial ameni-
ties; nevertheless true manners usually
mark the man. Our manners, as they
are. are like the countenance of Mr.
Martin Chuzzlewits grandnephew
that was mo more than the
first idea and sketchy motion of face
which had never been carried out They
need to be carried out.
