REMEMBER THE DEAD.

When the sere leaf falls,
When the drear wind calls,
And the gloom of the grave DER
earth seems spread;
Hear the nightbirds cry
From the dark ming sky,
Remember the Dead! Remember
the Dead"
While the bell that tolls
For departed souls
(Cleaving and grieving the mists
overhead),
Rehearses the words
OF the wailing birds:
Remember the Dead! Remember
the Dead"
Unceasing, the dirge
OF the seas dull surge
On shuddering sands, or coast-Crags
dread,
Doth mutter and moan,
Thro' the shadows lone,
Remember the Dead Remember
the Dead"
The Dead of the deep,
Like the Dead who sleep
In the charnels of earth, or wher,
ever their bed,
The near and the far,
Under sun and star,
Appeal to thy pity: Remember the
Dead!"
Implore their release
That, to light and peace,
And endless delights, they may soon
be led;
Their spirits entreat
Thy SURFACES sweet
BY aims and by Masses, remember
the Dead!
TE=I
And the Dead-ah! me,
Will remember thee,
Whose prayers their heavenward
flight have sped;
Would'st thou, one day, share
In their glory There?
BY day and by night, remember the
Dead.

Dear Sir: p eferring to proposed Con-
atitutionaI Amendment No. would says
As state expert printer I have given the
publications involved I'm this proposed
amendment special thought. and ann Of
opinion both these publications are en-
tircIy superHuOus. The extensive an
nunI publication Gin n daily newspaper
published mt the capital city" attracts
absolutely mo attention. The annual re-
port OF the state treasurer ls published
in book form, and to an extent that
makes 1T easy for every .,ersOn special
~ concerned to secure a copy. To COM
form strictly with the lar as At Am mt
present, means the expenditure, under
reasonably favorable printing contracts,
of approximately $4,000, sum which
can be used to excellent advantage nm
der conditions which ordinarily suggest
the greatest care and economy upon the
part Of those under whose direction the
printing fund is expended.
