Mourners, weeping o'er the slumber
Of a man with silver hail 3,
Did you see his spirit going
Up the angels' E tarry stairs?
Did you hear the angels calling,
'Weary pilgrim, cease to roam?"
Weep not o'er his peaceful slumber
He is only going home I
Mother, bending o'er the cradle
Where your little one has laid.
Do you know the transformation
That the sleep of death has made ?
Think I hia feet had only started
In the path beset by sin -f
When the gates of hearen openel y
And they let your darling in.
Wile, npon the grasses kneeling
Where they hid away from sight
He who won your love, oh 1 tell me.
Do you see no gleam of light?
He is waiting o'er the river,
On the sunset ferry's shore,
Till the pale and silent boatman.
Comes to row your spirit o'er.
Children, longing for the sunshine
Of a loving mother's smile,
She has only gone before you
Tarry yet a little while.
Soon for you the sunset gateway
Shall, at day's decline, unclose,
And you'll pass beyond its portals
To a long and sweet repose.
When we see our loved ones dying,
How our bitter teardrops fall I
And we fain would keep them with us,
Though we hear the angels call.
Yes, we kiss their lips at parting.
While the angels whisper, "Come !"
And forget, in human sorrow.
That ttey're only going home I
A WHOLESOME LESSON.

The journey was nearly ended th cars

was the disdainful addition, conveyed by

The Superintendent of the Central Pa
cific railway announces through the Chic
ago papers that the freight charges from
Sacramento to Promontory Point have
Wn reduced to $45. 55 and SG5 per ton
in greenbacks the charges being for the
usual classes of railway freights. The pas
senger fare for the same distance is $07 in
greenbacks and 850 in coin. These charg
es will not be increased when the Central
runs its cars fifty-two miles further east,
to Ogden, as they expect to da so soon as
nrmiKrnments are completed with the Union
Pacific Company. The distance from Sac
ramento to Promontory Point is six hun
dred and ninety miles, and to Ogden seven
hundred and forty-two miles. The Di
.rnrs of the road are acting wisely in
making this reduction, though the charges
rm frpiorhi are still so extravagant as to be
prohibitory of everything but the barest
nostnosirios of lifo. It is hoped that by
