BAD STEWARDSHIP.

Mr.. Van Buren, came into power with
sir millions of dollars in the Treasury; he
took for the uses of Government the eight
millions of United States Bank Stock that
was owned by the Government; he also
took the fourth instalment due to the States
by the Deposite Act of 1886, which was
nine millions; the Treasury Notes out
standing on the 4th Of March, lS4l, when
he retired to give place TO Gen. Harrison,
were somewhat over SIR millions aud a
half; the whole amounting TO about thir-
~ millions, which is the amount he ex-
pended, during his four years, in ercess OF
the revenues Of the Government.
In addition to this, the outstanding ap-
preparations on the 4th of March, ls4l,
were about trsniy.nine millions. These,
of course, were SO many liabilities OF the
Treasury, and consequently SO much adj
ditional burden or debt on the incoming
Notwithstanding the whole ac.
count TO nearly sirty millions, in excess oil
the revenues of the period Of his Admins
tration. Its fair, however, to credit Mr.
Van Buren, the nine millions of outstand
ing appropriations that we're imposed upon
him, when he came into power, March 4
1887. We have, then, this result, thai

minislra,ion, including his appropriation

ton, were ttfy millions in excess Of tn,
revenues OF his term Of office.
Further than this The conditions 0
tire Compromise Act Of 1882 were abou
TO strike Oh free millions OF revenue il
lsil, and fee millions more in ls42.-
Yet the Government, in full view Of tn
excessive expenditures of the past, and o

had made no provision for this extraordi

And il may be so, but the sky is blue;
And the first Of men.as our old men say,

BY G. P. R. JAMES.
Hope sung song Of future years,
Replete with sunny hours;
When present sorrows dew-like Tears
Should all be hid in flowers.
But Memory Backward turned her eyes,
And taught the heart to fear
More stormy clouds, more angry skies,
With each succeeding year.

In louder strains bade youth rejoice,
