IN QUIET DAYS.


The dying world grows strangely
mild; '
Now In the haEy autumn weather
Ny heart IL like a happy child.
And life and l. friends reeOnclled,
Go over the hills together.
My peaceful days run sweet and still
As waters slipping over sand.
Seeking the shadows of free will
To gather tenderer lights than fill
Days over-lavish hand.
The summer wood with music rings,
The singers troubled beast;
am no more the bird that sings.
But that which broods with folded
wings
Upon its quiet nest.
Oh. fairest month Of all the year!
Oh. sweetest days In life they meet
Within. without Is autumn cheer
September there September here,
So tranquil and so sweet.
OFT have l watched oil night with
grief ..I ...
Allnight with joy,andwhich Is best
All, both were sharp. aud both were
brief i.. r.
NY heart Is like a wind-blOwn leaf,
give them both for rest.
Fair Quiet. close to Joy allied,
But loving shadier walks to keep,
BY Cay is ever at my side;
Aud all night long with me abide
Peace and her sister Sleep.

LETTER OF HON. DAVID A. WELLS:
The following is letter Of
Hon. David A. Wells, United
States Commissioner Of Reve.
nue., to Hon. Thomas Il. Dud-
ley, United States Consul at
Liverpool, in regard to our
present financial condition and
prospects, 10 which reference
was made IN a cable dispatch
from London recently publish.
ed in the newspapers:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT.
WARRINGTON, Aug. 10. 1885,
DEAR SIR: In answer to the
inquiry in your note Of the 9th
as to the probable surplus rev
enue of the United States
which can be made applicable
during the current fiscal year
for a further and continued re.
duction Of the public debt, l
will, in place OF giving you a
direct and specific opinion, ask
your attention to the following
figures The accounts of the
Treasury for the fiscal year
which ended on the 30th oil
June last have not yet been
fully completed; but enough
is at present known TO make
it certain that the excess Of
receipts over expenditures vas
at least $4S,OOO,OOO-i. q, re
ceipts, S371,O 100000; expendi.
lures, 1928 100000. ...
AS no radical change in the
laws imposing taxation or in
the business of the country can
be Immediately anticipated,
we are warranted in believing
that the above surplus will at
least be continued during the
current year, and we therefore
assume it as the basis of oul
estimate. v. ...
To this amount must be add
ed two specific items of expen
diture provided for cut Of cur
rent receipts during the las,
fiscal year, which will not Be
carried over into the present
year, and must therefore, be
reckoned as net gain to the
Treasury, viz. $18,000,0O0 re
quired to complete the pay
ments for extra bounties, and
81, 200, 900 gold equivalent tc
S9,5OO,OOO currency disbursed
in payment Of the Alaska pur
chase.
The present annual elastici,
ty OF the revenue, OK its in
crease from the increase of the
country in wealth and popula
tion, will average at pre- SEN
S15,OO0,000 while the gain from
the rigid system OF economy
inaugurated by the present Ad
minii tration, and from a more
faithful collection of its taxes
will undoubtedly equal, and
probably exceed, $3O,OOO,OOO
The sum of the several items
will be found to be $4,000,
900, which approximately i'll
dicate the amount of surplu,
revenue which is likely to bt
placed at the disposal of the
Treasury during the curren
fiscal year, ana made app!ica
