ruE Z uEsIsTER,s. VOICE.

r.N THEsSIsTEh'sf'o'
o<vb.. voice 10 silent Harry Co'"iraH.
4, me .;.ter's voice is.gone away
Abound our social hearth
/. W. have lost itsaones that were 90 g'y'
: So fsIl efharmIess mirih--
We miss the gIsocins OF her eye.
TfA waving OF her haig,
The footstsps lightly gliding by'p
The hand 90 email and fair
Asd - wild bright smile that lii her faee'
And ms6e our hearts rejoice
Sadly we mourn each vanished grace.
Uns most ofalI her voice.
ror oh II was 10 soft and sweet.
Nhsu n breatIsd forth In words !;
Such tones il hadss hearts repeat
Il echoes on their chords
And lovely when in measure sois
She sung a mourntul song.
And heavenly when il swslled a'oit
In triumph chorus strong ;
And dearest when its words oil love
Would soothe our bosou's' care.
And loveIiest when il rose above
In sounds Of praise and prayer.
O. in my childhood, I have sat,
Vhen that sweet voice hath breashed'
ToreetfuI Of each merry mate
or the wild fowers had wrenihed
And though each other voice scorned
THAT called me from my play.
If nv sweet sister only warned,
d.nsver could delay.
.Twas she who sang mo many afhyms'
And told me many tale,
And many legend oi old time
Tha, made my spirit quail.
There are thousand pleasant sounds
Around our cottage still
The torrent that before il bounds
The breeze upon the hill.
The murn,uring Of the wood-oove' s's"'
The swallow in the caves,
Ard the wind that sweeps melody
In passing from the leaves.
And the pattering of'the early RAM
'rbs opening flowers to wet
IN, ,hev want my sister's voice again,
To make them sweeier yet.
We stosd around her dying bed.
We saw her blue eyes close
While from her heart the pulsss He'd,
And from her cheek the rose.
And still her lips in fondness moved,
And still she strove 10 speak
To the mournful beings that she loved,
And vet she was too weak
.rill At last from her eye came one bright ray
That hound us like sps''
And as her spirit passed away,
We heard her sigh-" farewell !"
And of siuce then that voice hath come
Across my heart again +;
And il seems to speak rs from Inc 'o'ho'
And bids me not complaia
And never hear low soft hute,
Or tho sound of ripping stream,
Or the rich deep music Of lutte,
But it.renews my dream,
And briuRs the hidden treasures .lorth
Thus lie in memsry's store,;
Aud again to thoughts Of that voice gives birth
That voice shall hear no more.
No more lit is not Sony l,ope
Shall still be strong in Heaven-
Still search around the spacious scoPeI
For peace and comfort given,
We know there 10 u world above,
Where all the blessed meet.
Where we shall gaze on thoss we love-
Around the Saviour's feet
And shall hear my sisters voice
In boiler, purer tone
With all those spotless souls rejoice,

THE posT OFFICE REPORT.

We had intended to have given the whole of
this able exposition Of the corruptons Of the Post
Office Department, to our readers, in broken do
scs and with that view, have encountered Sc
vera columns Of each number Of orr paper for
some weeks past but as heavy mass still re-
mains behind, we have determined TO condense
the remainder, and conclude the publication with
this number. We only trust that our readers
have attcntiyeIy read and considered, what has
been published. No patriot who has observed
the corruption that has been tolerated il not en-
Outraged, IN the management Of the Post Office,
could fail 10 recognise the necessity Of placing
the government in other hands, in other times
than these when the rage of party strife obscures
his watchful vision and bars every avenue TO a
sober, calm and dispassionate consideration ofthe
corruptions Of the government, and Of the i'm
pending danger TO our Republic, ifthey be moi

rejecting on these and other causes, lead
ing TO the same result, your committee in
cline to the opinion. that there will be few
instances in the future history Of our coun
try, Of a fall and searching investigation
into the conduct and management Of the
Post Office Department. They deem IT,,
therefore, their duty at this time, TO PRO
pose such measures of legislation as will
in their opinion, the most effectually pre-
vent the recurrence in future Of abuses
similar to those which the present investi
gai.on has disclosed. This they conceive
can be best effected by change in The or
ganization Of the department, SO as &c
place the collection and the disbursement
Of its funds in different hands, and under
the control Of officers entirely Independent
OF each other. That department, as a
present arranged, is dangerous anamol,
in our system ; and by whomsoeser III
concerns are hereafter to be conducted
its organization ought to be changed so al
to conform more nearly TO that OF the 9th
er great departments Of our government
The accountability OF its officers ought al
SO TO be rendered more effective, and thei
discretion limited as far as is consisten
with the efficient performance of the pub
lie service. 10 effect these several object
