FALLING.

The springtime came-the spring timt went
With shimering cloud and shiny Hather
The golden glory Of June was spent
+ On hills and fields wo roamcd tog4her.
We walked through autumn's purple taze,
The futures dream Of bliss forcstaling,
And shuddering thought Of winter dks,
With SHOWS a-falling. :
For earth was all so wondrous fair,
And heaven smiled down 80 blue above it
Each wandering breath Of balmy air
But made ds learn anew ID love it.
What wonder if with all so bright,
And wild birds through the odland call
ing,
We sighed to think Of winters night,
And SHOWS a-falling.
But when at last the world was dressed
In shining robes Of ice-mail cleaning,
And calm white silence lulled to rest
The pale dead flowers beneath 1t dreaming
d ehold! we woke to find made true =.
The hope our hearts had been forestalling,
And life grew fairer than we knew
While SHOWS were falling.
All we'll! the days Of youth fly fast; ~
Their suns grow dim, their blossoms with.
err,
And all the dreams that made our past, .,
Fly fast and fur, we know not whittier; y.
But, when We tread life's wintry slop.,
We hear again their voices calling,
And memory clasps the hand Of hope g..

II Post O07Ce Contract Job.
Lime Springs.

It is the postmaster general, now,
who has been called upon to clear his
skirts, if he can, from charge OF
maladministration and corruption.-
The charges are brought by q oom-
mittee Of the leading envelope man
ufacturers Of the United States, who
have been before tho house commit
tee on appropriations with blunt
statement of ugly facts. They charge
that the contract for furnishing
stamped envelopes to tho govern
nent, amounting to $4,000, 900, for
which bids were publicly solicited,
was recently awarded to the highest,
and not, as required by law, to the
lowest bidder, the quality of goods
offered by the former being no bet
ter than those offered by bis compet-
itors; and that when the contract
came to be executed, provisions were
inserted in it for other sizes, than
wero mentioned in the advertisement,
and for extra compensation for lined
envelopes and ruling. Tho manufac-
turers say that tho government will
lose by this action Of the postma ster-
general about $500, 900 They also
claim that tho whole system Of fur
nishing stamped envelopes at pres
ent prices is wrong in principle, in
terfering with the regular trade, and
costing the natien 81 100000 annu-
ally. >14 Fsss.i&a -
The appropriations committee cyi.
IDENTIFY conclude that tho points made
arc good, for they have agreed to re-
port an amendment to the appropria-
tion bill which in effect sets aside the
stamp envelope contract, awarded to
one Geo. H. Reay by tho postmaster
general. by implying that it cannot
be fulfilled out Of the appropriations.
And now what has Mr.. Creswell to
