Annie Fell.


Dear children, did you never hear,
or little Annie Fell?
If not, then listen to the tale
l am about to tell.
Annie had once happy home,
A father good and mild;
But he is dead, and she is left
A lonely widows child.
They have no cottage on the hill,
With roses round the door,
And wild flowers growing in the field,
Like some whom we call poor.
But in crowded city street
She and her mother dwell;
Their little room so dark and damp,
Ii makes me sad to tell
But Annicis n happy girl,
Far happier, it may be,
Than some who wear their silken robes
Mid scenes of joy and glec.
For in the Sunday school she learns
That jesus saves from sin;
ghat through his grace n little child.
A crown of life may win.
And so she shares her mothers toll,
From early morn TO even:
Cheerful and useful. for she hopes
To rest at last in heaven.
Children, amid your happy homes,
Where peace and plenty dwell,
Come learn to love your Saviour Lord,
Like little Annie Fell

AN EMPTY TREAsURY.-Thc was hca-
Wy run on the U. S. Treasury Saturday, and
before night the last eagle had taken it's flight,
and the Treasurer was forced to commence
issuing drafts on New York A letter says:
One draft for 100000 was cashed and
innumerablc ones ranging from one to one
hundred thousand. So eager were the par
ties to get their claims through and have them
cashed before the new administration should
come into power, that they ran from room to
room to see who could first reach the uume-
rous officials through whose hands the requi-
sitions and warrants had to pass before they
could reach the counter of the Treasurer.
In one case an officer absentcd himself, but
nothing daunted the determined parties sue,

his last official moments, an acting appoint
ment, authorizing the chief clerk to sign the
