THE DAILY NEWS. Alter the Burial. BY JAMES BUSSELL LOWELL. Tea. Faith is a goodly anchor; When skies are sweet as a psalm, At the bows its lolls so stalwart In buff broad-shouldered calm. And when over breakers to leeward, ; The tattered surecs are hurled. It may keep our head to the tempest. With t's grip on the base ci the world. But alter the shipwreck, tell rae What help in its ?rou thews. Still true to" the broken hawser, Deep ?own among sea-weed and ooze ? In the breaking fruits of sorrow. When the belpbss feet stretch out, And find in the deeps of darkness No footing so solid as doubt. Then better ene spar of memory; One broken plank of the past. That our human heai t may cling to, Though hopeless ot shore at last! To the spirit its splendid conjectures, To the flesh its sweet despair, its tears o'er the thin-worn locket With its beauty of deathless hair. Immortal? I feel it and know it; Who doubts it of such as the ? But that is the pane's very secret Immortal away from me I There's a narrow ridge in ibo graveyard, tv ould scarce stay a child in his race ; But to me and my thought it is wider Than the star-sown vague ot space. Tour logic, my friend, is perfect, Your montis most drearily true. But the earth that stops my darling's ears Makes mine insensate too. Console, if you will; I can bear it; 'Tis a well-meant alms of breath; But not all the preaching since Adam Has made Death other than Death. Communion in spirit ? Forgive me, But I, who am earthy and weah, Would give all my incomes from dreamland For her rose-leaf palm on my cheek ! That little shoe in tho corner, So worn, end wrinkled, and brown Its motionless hollow confutes you, And argues \ our wisdom down. PROCEEDINGS OF CITY COUNCIL. REGULAR MEETING.

The following petition from sundry citizens engaged in siaugntering, was referred to the Board of Health : I CHABXESTON, April 20,1868. To the Honorable thc Mayor and City Council of Charleston, S. C.: The undersigned, citizens of Charleston, who represent the interest of a large class of the community. would most respectfully bring to the notice- of your honorable body the fol? lowing facts hr connection with the ordinance regulating slaughter pens, now existing and about to be enforced, and pray that their sug? gestions herein mode may be considered : In their present impoverished condition, many of those engaged in the business now would be unable to remove their slaughter pens, while ?such as may be able to do so will not only suffer great inconvenience, but seri? ous loss, the result ot which ?ill be an increase in the price of all kinds of fresh meat, which is regarded by your petitioners as equally neces? sary as a sanitary agent as pure air; p?ttin? it beyond the reach of most of our people, since where the expense and loss consequent upon the removal of the slaughter pens will fall alike upon all engaged in the business, there can be no competition sufficient to keep the prices down. The ordinance, as now existing, allows the city to have slaughter pens within the limits of the same, and tins, your petitioners think, von must admit to be prejudicial to the inter? est of the private citizen who by the same or? dinance is obliged to remove out'of the city to carry on his business? and a monopoly of all the advantages of location as regards proximi? ty to the markets, on the part of the city, and which they think is at least unfair, if not arbi? trary; and yoar honorable body must admit that the fact of these pens being owned by the city, does not make their removal any less ne? cessary as a sanitary measure than * those of private parties, especially as the city pens are not properly constructed, and require to be moved nearer the tidewater. The objection most generally urged against all slaughter pens is that they are not proper? ly cleaned, and are allowed to remain in a filthy condition, and this we regard as being more injurious than their location, while it can be remedied by a careful system of inspec? tion by city officers, appointed to see that the pens are kept properly cleaned and in good condition; and your petitioners would most re? spectfully pray that, in consideration of the above recited facts, your honorable body would so amend the ordinance as to allow of the following requirements: 1st. That no slaughter pens be allowed in any part of the city or its suburbs, unless lo? cated over or directly upon a tide-water course, which can be washed by the tide twice in every twenty-four hours, and the slops and contents thereby thoroughly removed. 2d. That the slaughter pens be thoroughlv and regularly washed out after each slaughter? ing of cattle, and every thing removed which can in any way prove injurious to the pub? lic health, under heavy penalties for neglect. 3d. That additional city pens be built, m or? der to ac oinmodate those who are unable to build for themselves, and bored out as the pens now owned by the city are; and that a sufficient area of city lands adjacent be enclosed by a substantial fence, and the parties hiring the city pens be allowed to use the enclosures as a pasture for cattle designed for our market. Your petitioners believe that these condi? tions being carried out, will not only benefit those engaged in the business and the commu? nity, but will prove a source of revenue to the city; f Jr your petitioners feel as deeply inter? ested in all measures calculated to improve or preserve the public health as any class of our citizens, and would be willing to suffer any in? convenience and loss to that end in the present instance, but that they feel confident of carry? ing out such necessary regulations in regard to slaughter pens within the bruits of the city as will effectually prevent their being regarded as sources ot disease, or in any degree prejudicial to the public health, while at the same time such measures will not only accommodate the citizens generally, but bene'fit your petitioners, who will ever pray, ?ic.

Bv Alderman Gerdts : The Committee on Streets, to whom has boen referred the petition ot Messrs. J. C. fl. Claussen and J. Campsen, beu leave to report that they have visited Rater's Alley after a heavv rain, and found it almost impassable, in fact in such a state that it required the Board of Health as much as the Street Committee, and consider the oniy elfectual remoiy to have it paved. Rater's Alley superficial measurement is five hundred and seven yards; the cost of having it paved li t*e East Bay-street would be $1039. And the Nicholson pavement according to the lowest contract made m anv city is $1 75 per yard, which would make it $887 25. The petitioners consider it indispensable to have Rafer's Alley paved, and they agree to have it paved with the nicholson pavement to be satisfactory to Council ; grade etc., to be given by the city engineer, if Council will pay ?ve hundred dollars towards it, and they will defray the balance of the cost themselves. The committee recommend that the oder be accepted. H. GERDTS. JACOBSMALL. Z. B. OAKES. R. M. BUTLER. JAMES R. PRINGLE.

The number of out-door pensioners amounted to sixteen hundred and seven. The general conditiou of the house was as well conducted as could be expected. Your committee, however, would suggest that the City .Registrar be instructed to direct one of the" city physicians to attend once a day at a stated hour, thereby avoiding the necessity of being 6ent for. They also recommend that the same quality of bread be given to the out-door pensioners as is given Co the m-door ones, as the 6anie pnce is charged for both; also recommend that his Honor the Mayor use his good offices to procure from the military au? thorities clean and proper bedding for the in? mates, as what is there now furnished i3 not fit for any one to use; also recommend that the children "now at the Alms House be sent to the Orphan House as soon as they can be admitted, as the present place is not the proper one for them; also recommend that the commissioners elected will try and visit the institution oftener, and not leave their noble work to be performed by those who live near the house.
