      Death. Come When Thou Wilt, Cold Anodyne...

      DEATH . Come when thou wilt , cold anodyne , I fear thee riot ; Let all these hopes and-dreams of mine Be lost , forgot . Life hath been too unkind to me For years and years ; I give her broken toys to thee—Her bitter tears . Quench but those tears and still that heart , What matter then ?

      Is it so hard a thing to part With light and men ? Life bound me hand and foot a slave , Her fetters rust ; Better the freedom of the grave—Mix dost with dust . . ' Jf - City Hopses . —Amid tlie general demolition of the City now la progress , there is one cause whic"h contributes to it and will accelerate it which , has received little attention ; and that in the fact that many of the houses built after the great fire of 1666—that is to say a great part of the City—are in a very dilapidated condition . The public buildings of that date are mostly

      solid and good enough , and particularly those designed or superintended by Wren ; but some of the companies ' halls—as the Weavers ' , pulled down last year—were vamped up of rubbish . Some of the mansions in the City are well and solidly "built , but a very great many houses were run up after the fire "with whatever material could be got , and are "very ill-constructed too . The joinery is often of bad timber and very ill done "by inferior hands , workmen being got together from all the country parts and from Holland also . Thesehouses have no"w stood nearly two hundred years , and have suffered various vicissitudes , not among the least having been the sewer and drainage operations , which have sapped their foundations and affected their bearings . Then

      there have been fires in adjoining houses , or the demolition of adjoining iouses- —a test very unwelcome to a weak and ill-constructed louse . Within the home , the rat , the mouse , and the-worm have been at -work operating on the timbers , and an occasional leak , or the ¦ overflow of a closet , have all had their stare in the long lapse of time in ¦ weakening the houses ; nor must we omit the jobbing bricklayer or Irish labourer , brought in'to do some cheap repair and effecting no small mischief . Even good houses cannot bear these injuries without suffering , but it is a miracle how some of the cheaper houses , run up after the fire , have stood , and in a less wealthy population they would be in a most

      dilapidated state . All the houses before the fire bear date of not less than two centuries , and some have their three or four centuries to account fo ^ and the sewers b-ave been no friends to them ; but the lowness of their floors is now felt as such an inconvenience that they are generally out of favour , so that , whenever a chance offers , the old h ouses share the fate of their later brethren , and are pulled down . Sometimes , under the present system of large offices and warehouses , an additional house is annexed at a good price , and whenever the temptation of putting up a large block of offices presents itself , the landlord is likewise tempted to rebuild . — Building Jfews .
