And ask for strength to well fulfill thy part
In this worlds strife The swiftly gliding
stream
Reminds you that life passes like dream.
Your feV'rish, aching brow you-toop to lave
In the cool, ripping, flashing, sun-lit wave;
Yet stay not to look on its waters bright
But resume your journey, in manhoods might
To battle for right, and oppose all wrong,
Defend the weak with arm true and strong
VIII
But fail not nor fafter, though il appear
You receive only fhgTatitude here;
For such is the recompense paid by earth
To heroic merit and moral worth
In heaven alone just reward is sure
For deeds resulting from impulses pure
Your life : which like some grand lake-is
fraught
With richly laden argosies of thought.
Devotion, love, and charity to man. -. -.
You strive to I'LL your place in Gods great rem
But cold, false hearts unthankful from YOU
Others your loving sacrifices spurn;
You travel through region sterile, bare
Bereft of joys you breathe its sultrv air
The sun blazes down with cruel heat
And the hot, burning sand tOrtures your feet
Cool, verdant groves and clear streams dis
appear, ---.-t
MOcking your wstful look ere you come near;
You perish for drink, and no one is nigh,
To render relief, or hear your last sigh.
The brain seems scorching, and in anguish
strong,
The soul cries out "How long, o Lord! how
lOngiH .--.--.--.-
But by some divine power your failing eyes,
On the horizon see a palm tree rise
And slow, but with reviyirg steps Won haste
To that fresh spot in the vast deserts waste,
A small oasis of but one date-tree,
And near it's foot a limpid fountain free.
You sink at length, exhausted on the sod
Which scarce by human feet hath e'er been
trOd-
For few experience what you have known,
Or through such fiery trials see Ethe throne"
But each heart knoweth its own bitterness
Every peculiar mind its own distress,
That leads it through strange, arid fields of
care,
Which can be cheered only by secret PRAYER
Thus you can reach and take the fallen fruit
Rich, heavenly grace your every need to suit.
And then refreshed from the UnfaiIing source,
With earnest will again pursue your course.

The fair, green spot is in the distance lost,
And soon the sandy plain you will have crossed.
No more the mirage aggravates your thirst,
For now the l0nged-fOr sunset cliff has burst
Upon your sight. Then lettering YOU stand
On the sad border of the dark'ning land.
Looking far back along the way, you see
The shadows of your future DESTINY
Your deeds and influence that will upTise
To fix your fate above the solemn skies.
The vision appall-''O, Lord, Thou didst die!''
You plead with your might; and with that deep
cry,
Leave there your past, and the summit descend,
IL matters not how-you must reach the end
And you turn your face and Tiyet your gaze
On long, dark line that is hiaSien by haze
lis Eternity's Ocean, far and wide
Your Pilgrimage ends on the hither side.

EXTRAORDINARY SPRING IMPoBTATIoNs. -
Such is the activity at the Custom House, from
the extraordinary importations just now, that
the employees of the government can hardly
get through the work. 1t is said the average
daily receipts from duties at the New York
Custom House since the first of the month
have amounted to half q million of dollars,
and this, Notwithstanding the average reduc-
ton of about ten per cent in the tariff since last
Spring. An income from customs at the rate
of fifteen millions a month at this port alone
shows that there need be no fear of de-
fcient revenue. Indeed, there will be, prob
ably, very large surplus revenue at the end
of the fiscal year. These enormous importa-
tons show also the great wealth and pros
perity of the country, as well as the extrava-
qance of our people. We may anticipate q
very active trade throughout the Spring, both
in this commercial METROPOLIS and all over tn

little foundation, and all the efforts to give 1t

he Investigations ut Albany-Are
They All o Farces

The State Legislature is now having its
share of investigations, and some Of them
promise to be interesting if properly prose-
cuted. Our Albany correspondent supplies
the committee charged with the inquiry into
the present Erie Railroad management with
some useful hints which should not be lost
upon Mr. Babcock and his associates. 1t was
quite proper that the Gould Board of Directors
should be overthrow. 1t was an outrage
upon the rights of the stockholders, for how
ever well the road might have been run under
the former management there was no JUS
tifcation for q usurpation of power In
defiance of their will. But is
true that the present directors bought
their way to power with money poured
out lavishly among former directors and Off

VERY LIKE WHAE.-We publish in to-
days HERALD communication from Assem-
blyman Voorhis in regard to the proposed
leasing of West Washington Market to o pri-
vate company and the bill to which his letter
refers. The spersons who are to enjoy the
privilege of holding this valuable lease are
described in the bill as the Washington Mar
ket Company" but the people are left in
ignorance as to who they are and as to their
responsibility or their fitness to hold such
an important trust Mr.. Voorhis says it
looks like q job. We think it does-very like
o Job. There are thousands OF poor people
who are benefited by the reasonable prices
now prevailing in Washington Market. If o
grand speculation is to be made out of the
market for the enrichment of few individu-
ais, and if high rents are to be charged or o
monopoly secured, these thousands will suffer
the loss which must fall on somebody. The
bill should be rejected by the Legislature, or,
if passed at all, the lease should, at least, be
left open fox competition.

unless explained, will certainly convey the i'm
preston that the reformed Erie Board did
not hesitate to follow the example of their
predecessors in using money to influence legis-
iaton. No person with an ordinary amount
OF common sense will believe that in month
or six weeks $685. could have been ex-
pended in any legitimate manner in Albany
to secure legislation beneficial to the new man.
agement and to defeat legislation inimical to
the interests of the road.
The Tweed investigation is also curious
and suggestive matter. The committee seem
to be altogether on the wrong scent They
have signi6ed their intention of going into an
examination of Andrew j. Carney and of do
ing other absurd things which they have no
business to do. At the same time Mr.. Tweed
has himself supplied them with the key to the
proper inquiry to be prosecuted. He has
threatened them to their faces that if they
should venture to press the Investigation the
Senators will themselves be "hurt," and
ON a former occasion he has de-
clared that he will investigate the Sem
ate if the Senate should dare to investi-
gate him. These avowals can bear but one
Interpretation. Mr.. Tweed asserts in reality
that he has bribed the Senate, and that he can
prove the corruption of some of the Senators
if they should venture to annoy or provoke
bu int
Now. whatever technical objections he may
raise against an investigation of his acts as a
city officer, he cannot urge single point
against the right of the Senate to inquire
whether he has ever bribed a member of that
body. Whether he is Senator or not in
legal acceptance, he can be held to account
for corrupting legislator, and he cannot
refuse to testify in such an investigation.
This is the point to which Senator johnson
had better turn his attention.
There is third investigation in Albany-or
there ought to be-which has mysteriously
died out What has become of the inquiry
into the alleged corrupt practices of the Pa
cifc Mail Steamship Company in regard to
legislation at the State capital? 1t has
been charged that the company ex-
pended large amount of money in cor
rupting the Legislature last session, and that
thorough investigation would show that the
sum thus spent was charged over to the San
Francisco expenses. A committee was en-
powered to sift the matter, but it seems to
have died and made no sign. Can Assembly
man Alberger afford any information on the
subject? If we are to have any inquiry at all
into these alleged corruptions let it be made
thorough. If not let the whole matter drop
and suffer the people to firm their own judg-
ment of the State Legislature as they already
have formed their own judgment Of Congress.

No other plant will yield so much
food to the acre, with so little outlay of
of labor as the banana. A single tree
under favorable circumstances, will yield
three crops in the year, of seventy-fye
pounds each In tropical countries where
the banana grows it is largely used when
green, being roasted in hot ashes. 1t is
also dried in an oven and used as bread.
The fruit is very nutritious, even when
only half ripe, and forms large portion
of the daily food of the inhabitants Of
banana growing regions. 1t isa singular
and interesting fact that IN those tropical
regions where the long continued heat is
so oppressive that labor becomes burden
some, man is supplied with food almost
without the need of working. Where
bananas grow, people can be lazy with
impunity.-Harper's Bazaar.

Pain Killer.

There can be no necessity at this late
day, for the press to speak in commenda-
tory terms of this remarkable medicine,
in order to poromote its sale; for it is a
medicine that is known and appreciated
the wide world through. When ever we
speak of the Pain Killer, as in the pres
ent instance, we do so in behalf of the
afflicted, rather than with the view of
advancing the interest of its proprietors.
For various diseases, such as rheumatism,
cholera, cholera -morbus, burns sprains.
bruises, and so on to the end of the cata-
logue, we are convinced that there is no
remedy before the people equal to Davis
Vegetable ain-killcr," and we know
that thousands upon thousands entertain
the same belief. Certainly, we cannot
refer to the history ofany medicine which
equals that of the Pain Killer. 1t was
introduced in 1S40, and from that time to
this its sale, both at home and abroad,
has constantly and rapidly increased. and
we rejoice at the high reputation it has
achieved, because this reputation shows
that is has been the means of relieving a
vast amount of human suffering. We
hope the present proprietors of Davis
Vegetable "Pain Killer will long live to
enjoy the prosperity which they have so
fairly won.
