NEW YORK, Dec 1s, 1875.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD SER


The repeated efforts of your very valuable journal to
have Fifth avenue property repaved and your recon-
mendatons IN regard to the different roads through
Central Park should receive the praise of every tax
payer in the city, visit to the upper end OF the Park
few days since led me TO mentally ask why there had
been drive constructed that emerged at the
OF 10th street and Fifth avenue Your efforts to have
that repaved will certainly be rewarded las the
HERALD never fails in Its undertakngsl which will
then make il the great central drive for all classes OF
people. II would be very easy for the Park Commits
sioners to continue the road which follows closely
to that avenue from point a short distance
south OF Mount St. Vincent that it would leave the
Park at its northeastery corner which could be beau
titled in short time similar to the entrance at Fifty
ninth street BY looking at the topography OF the
Park in that vicinity such road could easily be made
at very little cost and would be Of very easy grade,
thus avoiding the very steep and hill leading
into Sixth avenue A portion of this drive would
meander around the shores OF the beautiful lake just
east of Mount st. Vincent while Its proximity TO and
its exit upon Fifth avenue cannot fail to make IL very
attractive


Your efforts in the past to have the different parks
and avenues OF city made attractive leads
TO address you with the foregoing suggestion 10 the
Park Commissioners, which, think, they will adopt,
and give the public entrance from the upper end OF
the Park into what the HERALD justly claims the
Champs Elysees Of New York city. A TAXPAYER.

Only little mound of earth,


A grave,-Ieft Us here to tell
OF our darling Fannie Lulu


The child we have loved so well.
Only few cast-of garments.


And a lock OF shining hair,
Some toys. tiny paif of shoes,


That our darling used to wear.
From early morn until evening.
We watch and listen to greet;
The bird like voice OF our dear one,
And the patter of childish feet.
Nerveless the feet, the voice is hushed,
All in vain we watch and weep.
The loving eyes and tender arms,
Are folded and closed in sleep.
Oh! Thou who hast burst asunder.
The bars of the cruel tomb,
Guide and direct US in mercy.


Thro' clouds of doubling and gloom.
Up to the clear bright shining mount.
Till by faith we see the way
To the land of glorified spirits.


Perfect peace, and endless day.
Far beyond earth IS dying and pain,
In Paradise free to roam,
Well think OF Fannie Lulu.


In our Fathers House at Home.
There at last we hope to meet her.
When our pilgrimage is DER,
Through the merits of our Saviour.
We may reach that Shining Shore"

to be out of the room, an electric bolt
penetrated the apartment, end took a
fancy to clock taat sat ticking de-
murely on the mantel piece. The
clock was closed at the time. but the
lightning contrived to effect an en-
trance between the top of the door and
the dial-plate. But, beyond melting
the attachments of two of the cog
wheels, causing them to fall from their
places; boring hole through the
centre wheel, and melting the end Of
the pivot where the hour and minute
hands are adjusted, no other damage
was occasioned. The clock was thrown
to the floor, but it did not sustain any
damage beyond what the lightning had
wrought. The noise occasioned by itf
fall vas the only notification the family
had of the occurrence. Courier Journal
