NEEDLES AND PINS.

YE arc trivial things,
With Invisible wings,
Needles and pins;
Common and mean,
Good pointed and keen,
Useful alike 70 The cook or the queen,
Bright needles a1d pima
Mon have waxed wroth
For the want OF ye both,
Needles and pins; -
Women have rallied,
keddened and paled,
Hunted and scoldod till Language has failed
For needles and pins,
Heads rounded and bright,
Eyes single and light
Needles and pins I,
1e hsye witnessed strange scenes,
Sharps, blunts and hctweene;
working Tor algels and working for 6ends,
brigot needles and pins.
The set OF that frin
Is due to your skill,
Needles and pins;
The droop and the grace
or yon satin and lace,
And the look OF content on that Young husband a
face.
Oh needles and pins.
Ye have hidden the rent
In the beggar's garment,
Needles and pins;
As yeve mended his tears
- SO ye'yc hghtened his cares
III again ne has ne sd of your aid for repairs,
BriyLt needles and pins.
NBut whore do you go
When your works done" we'd know,
Needles and pins
What nook do you find,
So secret and kind,
That mortal no trace OF your brightness can and,
Lost needles and pins!

GRANTS Administration and the Pub
lie Debt.


In the month of March, the first month
of President Grants administration, the
decrease of the national debt was over
two millions of dollars. In the month of
April the decrease was considerably over
three millions. And In the present
month, the third of Republican admin.
istratiou, the decrease will be nearly, Ii
not quite, thirteen millions of dollars.
The books of the Treasury Department
have been balanced up to to-day MAY 20),
and they show for tho month, as follows I;
Receipts from customs SIS, ,5i9, 600
From internal revenue ..........,..... i1,i5a,OOO
Expenditures same period ...,....... l8,s0O, 900
Leaving for decrease Of debt .......$l2,9 ,9O1, 900
The probabilities are that, for the whole
of the month of May, the excess of re-
ceipts over expenditures will be over,
rather than under, thirteen millions of
dollars Thus, in the first three months
of the administration, do VIC fiud, prac-
tically, a reduction of our debt of
about twenty millions of dollars. In
other words, Grant manages to have
the debt reduced even more rap
idly than johnson managed to have il in.
creased. Grant has the same party 10
sustain him in Congress that Johnson had
to carry on the Legislative Department Of
the Government Chicago Post.
