The New York Herald is not satisfied
with the recent report of the Committee
on Retrenchment. 1t very properly
says; "There is in the report mass of
verbiage about the duties of the rever-
sal bureaus and officers, all of which
we knew before, and about the magni-
tude of the Treasury transactions since
the war, which also we knew, and then
there are some suggestions about refor-
ming or improving the. service, which
are all very well; but nothing was dis
covered of any consequence. For in
stance, we should like to know where
the following missing bonds and notes
went to: '1 ftW s~9g T-a.-s. .-.

'"We believe there is no doubt about
these being missed and unaccounted for.
If the committee failed to discover this
fact how much more may remain undis-
covered? We fear the committee did
not go beyond the walls of the Treasury
Department tn oct information. IT con-
fined itself, probably, to the examination
of those only who were interested in
protecting the department or purposely
left the irregularities Of frauds covered
up: Its labors are a miserable failure,
and the result is the country gets moth

football of her companion
echoes up the graveled walk.
We follow with our eye the
finger of Memory, and we see
the cold, ghost-like tombstones
grouped together in the hillside
graveyard. We see the tears
and sighs that Hope has never
blotted out; we follow each
step from boyhood to silver
locks. Years ago a baby voice
rang through parlor and kiteh-

in little waves, as the chubby

"Turn backward, oh! Time"
Give us again the bounding
steps ofyouth, the merry laugh,
the bright spots Of sunshine
that clouds have since turned
into funeral pals! We are
growing old. We are cropping
in the darkness that leads us
along the unknown shore. We
smile sadly at the beckonings
of Hope. We wish to be young
again; to have no heartaches
and wrinkles of care. We want
to see the coffined forms start
into life, and hear a mothers
kind good night, and feel her
soft hand on our locks as she
prays that He may guide our
young feet in the right way.
We want the kind words of a
father, to hear the merry laugh
of a sister, to feel that some
one sighs at our wanderings
and smiles at our better deeds.
Take back your gray hairs and
your burdensome years! Give
us our life to begin again
Sweep away those tokens, wet
with tear falls, and tell us that
Memory has guided us wrongly.
Have pity, Father Time !!
You were never young; you
never grow old; there is no one
to mock your faltering steps,
no one to laugh at your grey
hairs. We love the clear sum
light, the green trees, the beau
tifll earth. Men have used us
all, and we must live to forgive
them; we have not always done
right, and we must live to re-
pent. Tell us that we shall live
a score of years-ten-fve-
even one year more. Tell us
that another sun will not set on
our open grave.
Alas! you will not. You
brush away poor Memory, sob
bing in her pity, and you strike
another hour on the bell Of the
great clock to tell us that the
grave is much the nearer our
own shrouded form, our foot
steps so much nearer the turbid
waters. You add another line
of care, sprinkle more tokens OF
your presence among our locks,
and the weird shadows dance
in glee that our life lamp must
flicker and grow pale before the
approach OF that mysterious
dawn whose light shall close
our eyes in the long stiffness 0.
