Is it possible that the Foley Injunction was
granted by Judge Barnard as a whole only
that it might be dissolved in detailH There
have been several notifications Of it, which
were, perhaps, proper enough. All the people
ask is that there shall be the proper restraint
against paying out money without scrutinizing
bills, and the presence of an honest man In
the Controllers Office suffices to secure this.
But when it is seriously proposed to allow
Tweed, as the head of the Department OF
Public Works, to go ON in the extravagant
construction of works whose necessity is not
apparent and is disputed by eminent engineers,
it becomes a matter Of moment and OF money
to know how far these notifications are to be
extended. We possibly need new reservoir
of Croton in Putnam County, but there is a
greater necessity in the present state of the
public Treasury and funds that we shall be
assured of judicious expenditure and prompt
construction of the same. And nobody be-
lieVes that Mr.. Tweed will complete the work
as long as any money can be drawn from the
Treasury to pay for it, or as long as his friends
can be kept employed upon it.

A virtuOus woman is the very embod-

echo of the spirit Of love. 1t is impossi-
BILE to think Of the bonefcent yet unob-

obedient daughter-how much she will
endure, through what trials she will
pass, and how goading must become the
parental tyranny ere she will allow her
spirit to rebel against the authors of her
being! Behold her when loving some
object worthy her devotion-mark her
unvarying constancy-the resolution
uniting with tenderness in the nature of
her afection-the tenacity with which
she clings to him whom she knows to be

her as the wife jealolssly welcoming her

and this was Col. HIS reply j
Your letter came, but came too late,


For Heaven had claimed its own;
All! sudden change, from prison bars


Unto the Great White Throne!
And yet 1 think lie would have stayed


For one more day of pain,
Could he have read those tardy words


Which you have sent IN ram.
Why did YOU wait, fair lady,


Through so many a weary hour?
Had you other lovers with you


In that silkeu, dainty bower2
Did others bow befo,eNour charms,
| Aud twino bright garlaDds there?
And yet | wten in all that throng


His spirit had no peer,
wish that You were by me now,


As [ draw the sheet aside,
Tosee how pure the look he wore


Awhile before he died.
Yet the sorrow that you gave him


Still had left its weary trace,
And meek and sanity sadness


Dwells upon his pallid face. =
"Her love-" he said, "could change for me


The winters cold to spring"
All, trust of thoughtless maiden's love,


Thou art bitter thing!
For when these valleys fair, in May,


Once more with bloom shall wave,
The Northern violets shall blow


Above his humble grave.
Your dole of scanty words had been


But one more pang to bear;
Though, to the last, he kissed with love,
This tress of your soft hair,
L did not put it ,chere he said,


For, when the angels come,
l would not have them find the sign


Of falsehood in the tomb.
I've read the letter, and 1 know


The wiles that you have wrought
To win that noble heart of his,


And gained it-fearful thought -
What lavish wealth men sometimes give
For tlihe, light and SMALL
What manly forms are often held


In Folly's fimsy thrall
You shall not pity him, for now


He's past your hope and fear;
Although wish that you could stand
With me beside his bier.
Still, l forgive you; Heaven knows
For mercy you'll have need,
Since God his awful judgment sends
On each unworthy deed.
Tonight, the cold witSls whistle by, .--
As L my yigils keep
Within the prison dead-house, where
Few mourners come to weep.
A rude plank coffin holds him now,
Yet Death gives always grace;
And [ would rather see him thus
Than clasped in your embrace.
Tonight, your rooms are very gay,
With wit, and wine, and song
And you are smiling, just as if


You never did wrong,
Your hand 80 fair, that none would think
1t penned these words of pain
Your skin, so white, would God, your soul
Were half so free OF stain
I'd rather be this dear, dear friend,
Than you in all your glee
For you are held in grievous bonds,
While he's forever free.
Whom serve We in this life, we serve
In that which is to come,

The public are requested to give their attention to the above circular of s J. GOLD, who has been so long engaged in the business of Heating, and manufacturing apparatus for it,

 The plan upon which this new ap- paratus is made and operated is entirely new and novel.

 It is constructed upon the most sim pie and yet the most effectual principle of Heating yet discovered.

 There are number of them now in operation in different parts of the coun- try, and the results of the trial have been very gratifying to both the invent or and manufacturer.

 The economy in the use of fuel and it's heating capacity is truly wonderful, no such results having ever before been achieved by any previous invention. It is only designed in this notice to call the attention of the public or any who may wish to secure what the in- ventor says in his circular above,- "ample warmth without injury to health" ,"-to this new invention which probably will come into general use in all our country homes, as well as in the homes of the wealthy who live iu the large cities and towns. It is subject of interest to all who have homes where health, comfort and pleasure are sought after.

VIHE INVENTOR. who has been actively engag A ed for the past twenty years in introducing to the pubic his several systems of Warming Build ings with Steam and Hot Water. by methods well known throughout the United States and Canadas, has, at the solicitation of numerous friends, finally produced a more economical Heater, which em- bodies all the excellent qualities of Steam and Hot Water heat, with the simplicity of Hot Air Furnace construction.

 Notwithstanding the large sale and universal approval of "Gold's Steam and Water Heating Apparatus,'' its responsiveness has impeded it's general introduction and use. To remedy this de- feet has long been the study of the inventor, who is now satisfied that in this new Heater, he has secured the only plan whereby persona of moder ate means can enjoy in their homes, the comfort of ample warmth without injury to health ; and that his new method meets g demand long felt. and must when well known, aupersede all other Heaters. No one desires, if it can be avoid cd, to put into his home heater which will cer- tainly impair the health of those who inhale the air vtiated by contact with highly heated surfaces All other Hot Air Furnaces heat the air too hot because of the very limited amount of superficial surface exposed to the fire, so that much of the surface is often heated to redness; the proportion of surface to the same size of fire in this new System, is TEN TIMES GREATER than the common Hot Air Furnace, and no part is overheated; i'm deed it is adjusted such correct scientific prin- ciples, that every part of the surface is equally warmed.

 In the new Furnace the valuable result is secured of an apparatus with all the merits of Steam Heater, with the simple construction of the Hot Air Furnace, avoiding all the deleterous effects of that kind of heat.
