which, IN this port only, will probably amount to
three or tour hundred thousand dollars, and which
are understood to have been included in the est.

from these facts it will appear that the revenue

would drive her mad yet think it would do me
good if I could sec my child, my eldest girl, my
little Betsey. know not why it is but have an
idea that her soft pratle ignorant as she Is OF my
fate, would take something away from the dismal
suffering am TO undergo on Wednesday. There
fore bring her, viii you, this afternoon? and frame
some postponing excuse for my poor wife. These,
dear sir, are melancholy troubles, but know you
are very good.o
In the afternoon, accordingly, took the child,
who asked me several times the road, why her
father did not come home. AS we walked along
the gloomy passages to his cell, she chung close to
me, and did not say word. 1t was very different,
poor thing to the open and gay garden about which
she was used TO run.
The door of her fathers miserable dungeon was
soon opened and the child rushed into his arms.

The child did as she was hidden, and the poor
man, straining her to him, sobbed bitterly and con-
yulslvely. Alter few minutes, he looked with
yearnlng eyes in her face, saying, 4" Come, my
dear, sing your poor father that pretty song, which
evening. | am not well now. Look at me, my
child, and sing
How sad 1t was to hear the chlld's voice warb-
ling in that Goorous place could scarcely bear
it; but il seemed to have contrary effect on the
father His eyes were lighted up and smile APP
peaied on his countenance. The song" was OF love,
and woody retirement, and domestic repose, and
The Dathed rowms Of fortune. While the child was
singing, left the cell to make sume arrangements
with the iallor, who walking close to the door.
| had moi, however, been thus engaged for five
minutes, before | heard something TALL heavily,
accompanied by violent scream; and rushing in
to the cell | saw the unhappy convict lying on the
floor, and his little girl cnging round his neck.
The jailor and lifted HIM up, and, alarmed at he
hue OF his face, called IN the medical attendant OF
the prison, who soon told US the poor man was
dead.
The account given by the child was--that afle.

NATIONAL. RESOURCES.

1t will be recollected that, in the annual report
OF the , cretary OF the Treasury transmitted to
Congress o" the lo'h day oil December, 1921, the
receipts Tor the year 1872 were estimated at six
teen mllllns, one hundred and ten thousand dollars
VI his amount It was computed that the customs
would afford fourteen mlons-eayng two millions
one hundred and len 'housand dollars to be sup
pied from other sources of revenue and even on
that basis 1t calculated that the receipts of the
current year would exceed the expenditure by
l.l62 558 dollars.
Il IS with much satisfaction that we feel our
selves authorized o congratulate our readers and
the nation upon the clear and almost indubtabI,
prospect, that the estimates of the Treasury will
be more than realized
