REST.
BY FATHER RYAN.

My feet are wearied, and my hands are tired
Ny soul oppressed
And with desire have long desired
Rest-only rest.
It's hard to toil-when toll is almost vain
In barren ways;
It's hard to sow, and never garner grain
In harvest days.
The burden of my days is hard to bear
But God knows best
And l have prayed-but vain has been my
For rest--swect rest.
lis hard to plant in Spring, and never reap
The Autumn yield;
It's hard to till-and when It's titled to weep
Ger fruitless field.
And so l cry weak and human cry.
So heart-oppressed;
And so | sigh weak and human sigh
For rest-tOr rest.
Ny way has wound across the desert years,
And cares infest
My path, and through the flowing ofhOt tears
pined for rest.
Twas always so; when still a child, I laid
On mothers breast
My wearied little head e en- then / prayed,
As now, for rest.
And I am restless still; twill soon be o er;
For down the West,
Life's sun is setting, and l see the shore
Where l shall rest

The facts narrated herein were told us
yesterday by q gentlemen who declared
be would vouch for their authenticity. A
few days ago a man dressed in plain but
neat clothes presented himself at the Of
flee of the cashier of the United States
Mint, and said he would like to make a
draft on the institution.
" Does the Mint owe you anything ~
asked the cashier.
" A small sum. l believe l have on de
post somewhere in the neighborhood of
one hundred and sixty ounces of gold
DUST
81 do not remember having received
any such sum recently"
No, reckon not for you see I don't
think you were here when | made the de-
posit;" and the stranger produced from
his pocket-book brown, e-begrimed-
looking piece of paper, which he handed
to the gentlemenly cashier
The latter took the paper and read: Re
ceived of -, in 1874, one hundred and
sixty ounces of gold dust, &C." and then
exclaimed, Why, this has been here for
nineteen years."
guess it's about that time. You see,
l came down from the mines in 1854,
bringing with me some dust 4 little dab
I deposited here, while good deal was
gambled and fooled away-drlnklng and
SIGH. Then l really don't remember
much more about what happened until
found myself at sea, in the forecastle of a
ship. / was told that had shipped as a
sailor, and may be / did at any rate,
there was no help for it, and | did my du-
ty as well as l knew how, until l was dis
charged in Australia, when I went off to
the mines in that country, and have been
trying my luck in almost every quarter of
the globe. But times have changed a
great deal from the flush days of Califor-
mia. l could spin you an interesting life
yarn, but this is not the time or place, so
it the documents are all right, l will
trouble you for thai little sum-
An examination of the books revealed
the fact that the amount had been deposit
ed and never called for, but was always
kept in readiness for the depositor The
man was informed that the Government
did not pay interest on deposits, but was
always ready to pay the principal. A few
moments more ana the equivalent of the
dust deposited nineteen years before was
handed across the counter and gathered
up by the visitor, who, bidding the cashier
good day" went on his way rejoicing.

Anecdotes connected with the visit Of

at Vienna are still current. a letter in

To read, count sing, laugh, jump, run,

Health Of Merchants.

\ writer in the Science Of Health says,
though many merchants live to be old,
mercantile life, on the whole, is not favor
able to health not because there is any
thing uhwholesome in the business of buy
ing and selling, but because of the uncer-
tainty attending it. 1t has been stated
that nine-tenths of all the merchants who
have been eminently successful in acquir-
ing wealth, have failed one or more times.
But the few examples. of colossal fortunes,
like the few prizes which are drawn in the
lotteries, are sufficient to cause a constant
ruse into the business by the many,
