The receipts at the Treasury from
customs and internal revenue sources
have been favorable for the present
month, so far. and will. make the re-
duction of debts even, greater than
already stated. Duties on imports
to the 9th inst. amount to about
SIS. 600 600, while those from internal
revenue are near S17 ,O0O,O 900, and will
be heavier by the end Of the month.
The disbursements for the month are
estimated at about lS2o, ,00O. 600; so the
decrease will probably reach ten or
twelve millions.

vision of glory flashed his brain;
soldiers wreath and a soldiers scar.
And the prideful heart of friends afar.
Strengthened his soul in the shock of war.

He had read of the nightly deeds of old
How luminous those deeds appear J.
or the warrior king whose spotess plume.
Like bright star fleck'd the battles gloom
And waved where his arm had scarcely room
To WELD his battle-axe and spear.
All, little rocked he of the morrow's ight,--
OF the rain of shot or shrek Of she'll;
Wasn't the Temple of Fame ahead?
What if the road lay the dead?

Those deeds that have linked his youthful life
In deathless lustre with every fell
Where Lee had planted the Southern shield
Or jackson fought. or the foes had reeed,
Or fell in the crimson strife.

a thought of the forms at home in prayer
The mother holding her heart in pain;
Or the woman he loved what to her the gain
OF Glury's wreath, if among the slain
Her lovers name should appear.
The morrow came. Alas! that its hours,

few steps more. and never again
Should the caunoneer drill his noble men,
| Or marshal them for the fray.
| Oh. Ged how his cannons thundered that day,
| Part Of himself was in the notes
| OF the martial rhyme that left the park
| Part Of himself that would soon lie stark.
! And stiff, and pulseless, all in the dark
| Just beneath his cannon's throats.
j 4 solemn Stiffness altar the e-fGht-------------
/ Broods over the dead and dying men.
! While the living among the slain asleep
| Lie weary and worn too worn TO weep
| Foor the mingled forms that lie deep
And still the battle plain.
What of the soldier that slep. on the field
But the night before, and dreampt of fame7
Say, did he get the scar wreath
The scar! whisper thunder your breath.
TIL we search the long black list of Death,
To see if we find his name.
Dead shot in the act of pointing his gun:
Dead shot in his youthful manhocd's prime
Dead yes, but he got his star and wreath.
Part OF hs drelm at the hand of Death;
The ehisol, and brush, and poets breath,
Shall come in their good time.
